Los Altos, CA; Paris, France - September 4, 2007. Days of Wonder, a leading publisher of top-quality board games, today announced the upcoming November release of the Memoir '44 Air Pack Expansion.
This Air Pack, the largest Memoir '44 expansion released yet, features eight beautifully painted miniature airplanes; a booklet with the air rules to fly them; a complete compilation of all 64 official Memoir '44 scenarios published to date, including revisions and updates to many of them, taking advantage of the various game expansions now available; and a comprehensive 120 card summary card deck describing every single terrain, special rule, troop type and nation introduced since the game's launch on the 60 year anniversary of D-Day in 2004.
"Our most ambitious expansion yet, the Air Pack is both the culmination of 3 years of development and maturation of the game system, and the foundation for a great things to come," says Days of Wonder CEO, Eric Hautemont.
