.:Time Frames:.
One of D-day's main features is the ability to customize the game by picking from six different game modes or "time frames"; Pre-War, Early-War, Mid-War, Late-War, Post-War and Total-War. Depending on which one you choose the selection of units that you can use will change to fit that period.
The Pre-War time frame stretches from the post World War I era in the 1920's where the collapse of mighty empires had left many countries in civil war. On to the late 1930's when the Axis powers started to expand and tensions across the world grew high.
Major events:
- 1922: End of Russian civil war, the Soviet Union established

The Early-War covers the German Blitzkrieg across Europe and the beginning of the War in North Africa. Then 1941 sees the Axis powers attack the Soviet Union and America drawing them into the conflict. By the end of 1942 the Allies have regrouped and started to push back the Axis onslaught.

The Post-War time frame covers the turmoil and uncertainty that came at the end of World War II and the creation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact marking the beginning of the Cold War. Depending on which sides and sub-factions you choose you can also play a hypothetical continuation of World War II using prototypes and paper projects designed in the closing stages of the conflict.

The Last time frame Total-War gives you access to all of the units from the previous five time frames plus many many more. This time frame can be very random and a bit chaotic at times, where World War I tanks can find themselves fighting against Cold War jet aircraft for example. The amount of units available to each nations varies quite a bit too, with some having access to over a hundred different units in this game mode. Because of this it is recommended to play the other time frames first before trying Total-War as it may be a bit overwhelming for new players.
Major events:
- 1946: Albert Einstein travels back in time to assassinate Hitler
- 19XX: Moon Nazis invade Earth
