In Frontline: The Longest Day, players command the Allied forces through some of the most famous battles of the war, freeing Europe from the hands of the German Army. The game takes place over five massive, engaging and challenging missions, all inspired by historical missions which took place during operation Overlord: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Cherbourg, Sword & Juno.
If you want turn based strategy get yourself Panzer Corps or Panzer Tactics HD but not this! Here you only get unfair and unhistorical map/unitbalance poor graphics and not even fullscreen support. Even for 5 bucks this is more than poor!

To put this into context I have the similar title on Russian front and that is fine, but this one........
There is a great game in there, but smothered by bugs.
I bought this game when it first came out, complained on the forum about ame killing bugs and over a year later some of the bugs still not...
