Well, if they have the Airfix license, and this one sells well, who knows...

What's surprising is that it is Airfix branded, but has no plastic models with it?

It sounds somewhat like the 'Commands & Colors' boardgames, but with minis. It also bears quite a resemblance to the 'Battlefields' wargames which use cards instead of minis & terrain printed on card. I quite like that idea as an introductory wargame.

Hasn't everyone already got the figures in a box under the bed. If not you should be ashamed!

My Ego forbids a signature.

I seem to recall they did this a while back or was that revell????

Operation Overlord? Recall buying it and never playing it. No doubt I will buy this too and never play it out of a sense of duty to the hobby!
