"Sharing an absolute passion to educate and honor our WWII heroes, I'm excited to see this game come to life. We can never forget our veterans, nor neglect to educate the next generations. This game will accomplish both of those important goals."

"Randy Brandt is a uniquely qualified developer of a board game about the epic story of the invasion of Normandy. A battlefield historian who knows the participants and details intimately, a great story teller and a gamer geek, he always asks 'what if' in thinking about games that we all wish would happen. Randy is passionate about getting little things right—from small details about the men to specific aspects of the topography of battlefields—and is in his element as a historian sharing the small stuff in the context of big, great stories. If you enjoy the old-fashioned board game experience and want to learn about the liberation of Normandy and play your own versions of 'what if,' then you will not find a better alternative to Airborne 200: Utah Beach."
—Dalton Einhorn, author of From Toccoa to the Eagle's Nest: Discoveries in the Bootsteps of the Band of Brothers
