About the game
The Memoir '44 Equipment Pack is a major expansion to the Memoir '44 game system and fills a game box as big as the original board game. With 186 plastic figures, the Equipment Pack includes 108 figures from four WWII nations, including French Infantry, Finnish Ski Troops, Italian Artillery and Polish Cavalry; 24 new pieces of Artillery (Flak-88's, "Long Tom" Big Guns, M7 Priests and "Screaming Meemies" Nebelwerfers); new Beach Landing equipment that includes six amazing Hobart's Funnies, complete with accessories; six Snipers; and scores of new Armor, Vehicle and Special Weapon Assets, including some Elefant Tank Destroyers, Kübelwagen Command cars, and M2 Mortars and Machine Guns. These figures can be deployed over many of the existing Memoir '44 scenarios and are also heavily featured in the eleven Standard, two Breakthrough and four Overlord new scenarios that come in the Equipment Pack. A rules booklet and 25 Summary cards complement this pack. This expansion requires at least one copy of the Memoir '44 base game. Many of its expansions are required to enjoy most of the included scenarios. We recommend that players at minimum own the Terrain Pack and the Winter/Desert board.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Memoir '44: Equipment Pack is 40–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Memoir '44: Equipment Pack for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Memoir '44: Equipment Pack has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Memoir '44: Equipment Pack belongs to these categories: Wargame, Miniatures, and World War II. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Modular Board.

The credited designers of Memoir '44: Equipment Pack are: Richard Borg.

The catalogue lists Memoir '44: Equipment Pack as an expansion for Memoir '44.

Check that your edition of Memoir '44 is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
