D-Day: America Invades is a 1995computer wargame developed byAtomic Games and published byAvalon Hill forIBM PC compatibles. It is the third game in theWorld at War series, followingOperation Crusader andWorld at War: Stalingrad.
Set inWorld War II,D-Day: America Invades is acomputer wargame that simulatesD-Day and the following fight for territorial advantages.[1]
As a consequence of Atomic Games' split with Avalon Hill in September 1995,[2]D-Day: America Invades was the two companies' last game together. According to Alan Emrich ofComputer Gaming World, Atomic's Keith Zabalaoui called this "purely a business decision" and clarified that there was no ill will between the companies.[3]

D-Day: America Invades sold fewer than 50,000 units globally. This was part of a trend for Avalon Hill games during the period; Terry Coleman ofComputer Gaming World wrote in late 1998 that "no AH game in the past five years" had reached the mark.[7]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "Atomic Games manages to take much of the tedium out of this tile-based wargame, enabling you to concentrate on strategy as you try to duplicate history, or if you're playing as the Nazis, change it."[1]William R. Trotter wrote forPC Gamer US, "Hats off, ladies and gents: a classic is born. Wargames just don’t get any better than this."[4]
