Memoir '44 Blog

I’ve had several friends start a blog, go gangbusters, then just fall off a cliff and that’s what my site looks like right now.  Unfortunately, some personal problems have kept me away from the gaming table and while I’ve gotten in a few games of Twilight Struggle, I haven’t gotten out Memoir ’44 in a while.  Don’t fret though, because I plan to restart things here.  I had big plans for the site and still do, just ran into a time bottleneck that’s forcing me to focus on other things.  Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to my website devoted to the boardgame Memoir ’44 by Days of Wonder.  I’m a metro-Detroit area resident who’s played a variety of boardgames through out my life and one of our favorites is Memoir ’44, a card based game centered around World War II.  It’s not overly complex, and the great thing about the game is you can finish up a scenario in less then a couple of hours.  Sometimes we go heavy (think ASL or something by GMT), but the since time is usually short, we usually find ourselves going back to Memoir ’44 time and again.

What I’m going to try to provide here is a one stop resource for everything Memoir ’44.  I’m going to provide strategies for each scenario and provide little facts and tips that will benefit both the newbie and the more seasoned player.  The flow of the site will be from a beginner’s perspective as I go through the early scenario’s and move through the expansions.  I’ll also introduce variants and what if’s to challenge the norm as well.

I also appreciate comments.  So if you’ve played a scenario and found something useful, each post will be open to reader comments.  Just chime and hopefully we can get a solid dialogue going.
