D-DAY - IMPRESSIONS

The 6th June, 1944 saw the largest troop landing in the whole of human
history. Around 200,000 troops were dropped on the Normandy beaches in
a brave and valiant effort to drive back the Germans. To commemorate
this faithful day, Impressions have produced a wargame that lets you
play out the Normandy landings.

To start the game, click on the 'Standard Scenario' with the left mouse
button and choose the Allies as your side. (You can't play the Germans in
this demo.) When the game starts, you'll be presented with the Unit Map.

To move a unit, select it with the right mouse button and then move the
cursor to the point on the map where you want the unit to go. Click the
left mouse button, and if the unit has enough movement points left, it
will move to that point on the map.

To attack an enemy unit, move one of your units on top of it on the Unit
Map. You will be asked whether you want to attack, so answer 'Yes' with
the mouse.

When you are in battle, you must first set up your troops. If you like
them the way they are (this is normally best), then click on the button
marked 'End Setup' at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. After
you've done this, you are free to order your troops as you please. You
can make them move and fight as single soldiers, as units or as a whole.
To make life easier, click on the 'All' button on the menu at the right-
hand edge of the screen. To move your men, select one of them with the
right mouse button, and then click on the map with the left button at the
point you want your men to move to.

If you can't be bothered to play all these battles, the 'Auto Play'
button will work out who lives and dies for each side and declare a winner.
