Bridgehead: 1944

Bridgehead is a turn-based WWII strategy game played on a hex map with classic NATO-style counters. Deploy your battle line across three theaters — the Normandy farmland, the deep forests of the Ardennes, and the wide Eastern-Front steppe — or let the quartermaster draw one at random.

Three roads to victory: capture the enemy headquarters, destroy their army, or win the points race by holding towns.

Command five arms, each with a job:

• Infantry holds towns and is the only arm that can climb mountains
• Armor is the fast hammer — but it's weak against dug-in units
• Artillery reaches 2–3 hexes but can't fire after moving
• Anti-Air is the only ground unit that can touch planes
• Aircraft fly over everything and strike from 4 hexes — but each turn they either fly or shoot, never both

Systems with teeth:

• Action points and movement range — move first, shoot last
• Zones of control: a solid line cannot be slipped through
• Morale: rested, accompanied, victorious troops hit harder; shaken ones hit softer
• Full combat preview before every attack — you always see the odds
• Adjustable enemy strength from Understrength to Overwhelming

Play with mouse, keyboard (WASD/arrows, Enter to end turn), or gamepad.
