I brought it for my arkham horror cards, they fit perfectly and it looks amazing.
Got a bag for the tokens, but it's just big enough for all of them. Could be bigger.

Memoir '44 is a historical boardgame where players face-off in stylized battles of some of the most famous historic battles of World War II including Omaha Beach, Pegasus Bridge, Operation Cobra and the Ardennes.
Memoir '44 includes over 15 different battle scenarios and features a double-sided hex game board for both beach landings and countryside combat. Each scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Commanders deploy troops through Command and Tactic cards, applying the unique skills of his units -- infantry, paratrooper, tank, artillery, and even resistance fighters -- to their greatest strength.
"By design, the game is not overly complex", says Memoir '44 designer, Richard Borg. "The game mechanics, although simple, still require strategic card play, timely dice rolling and an aggressive yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory." In addition to the large, double-sided gameboard, Memoir '44 includes 144 amazingly detailed army miniatures - including historically accurate infantry, tanks and artillery; 36 Obstacle pieces, 60 illustrated Command cards, 44 Special Terrain tiles, and 8 Custom Wooden dice.
Memoir '44 is designed for 2 players but easily accommodates team play. And with Memoir '44 Overlord scenarios, players can use multiple boards and up to 8 players to conduct large scale operations, experiencing the challenges of troop coordination and military chain of command on a large scale battlefield. Average game length is between 30 and 60 minutes, encouraging match play where players can command first one side and then the other.
The Memoir '44 series consists of the base game and a number of expansions.
This game is based upon Richard Borg's Command and Colors system.
Lots of fun great game for young kids to learn boardgames. My son loves playing and the minis that come with it and he even got to learn a little WW2 history with each scenario summary. Now can't wait for expansions to get reprinted
Fun war game with pretty simple rules and not complex gameplay. I just wish I could find more expansions these days.
I fondly remember buying the plastic army guys at the store to play with anywhere. This game takes that nostalgia and skyrockets it into the stratosphere. Memoir 44 seeks to capture the memorable battles during one of the 20th century's bloodiest periods with emotional consideration for everyone. Each battle scenario features historical background of what took place during the battle is entertaining. The goal to win is unique; the tactical card play is engaging; the feeling of one lone soldier still having the full might of a whole unit is powerful - I love it. If you love war games but streamlined, and takes half the time as Risk, this is for you.
