- WEGO World War II: Overlord | Dev Diary #3 is out now - 11 February 2026
I don’t remember exactly when I bought my first copy of Avalon Hill’s “The Longest Day.” But I think it was around 1985.Obviously the subject and battalion-level scale attracted me, but also the use of German unit symbols. However, what I really enjoyed were Jim Burnett’s two articles in the General magazine; Volume 19, Numbers 1 and 2.In the two articles Jim gave a detailed description of the game plus provided a suggested set-up for each beach. It was this suggested set-up that captivated me. Resulting in hours perfecting my own, modified set-up. Which the “dice gods” often laffed at - allowing me only horrible rolls - when I played the game.Having spent a fair amount of time Alpha and Beta Testing Overlord’s various landing scenarios - to include the 135 turn campaign game - what I’d like to do in this diary and a second follow-on diary, is walk you through my suggested landings for…
- WEGO World War II: Overlord | Dev Diary #2 - 4 February 2026
Back during the summer of 2022, when I first started to look for primary sources to build the Master Allied and German databases for Overlord, it quickly became obvious to me the Germans would be the toughest nut to crack.Why? In part there weren’t standard Tables of Equipment (TOE) for Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Waffen SS Divisions. In 1944, each unit was - with respect to its TOE - different from its sister units.For example, the 709th, 711th, and 716th Coastal Defense Divisions not only had different numbers of Ost Truppen Battalions, but their Artillery Regiments each had a different mix of howitzers and/or guns - both in size and country of origin - to include coastal artillery. And with respect to their Infantry Regiments, the 709th had three while both the 711th and 716th only had two.So in August 2022, it was a very lucky coincidence that I was reading a Board Game Geek blog - “H…
- WEGO WORLD WAR II: OVERLORD | Is coming on Steam on February 26th - 30 January 2026
Dev Diary #1 When I first started creating these games, they were traditional I-GO-U-GO designs: one side takes its entire turn—moving units, attacking, finishing all actions—before handing control to the other player to do the same. It’s straightforward and easy to follow, but it has an inevitable drawback: the other side is frozen in time while you’re acting.Then I thought: “Wouldn’t it be neat if it was WEGO instead?”For those unfamiliar, in a WEGO system both players issue their orders during the planning phase, and then the game executes them simultaneously in a resolution phase—like watching a film of the turn play out.I still think WEGO is neat—but I quickly learned why more games don’t use it. In effect, you’re making two games instead of one. The first “game” is just like IGOUGO: players give orders as usual. The second “game” is the complex job of meshing both sides’ orders to…
