Historical Background
Omaha Beach at the end of the morning, US units which have survived to the hell of the beach began to reach the
plateau. Companies of 116th Infantry Rgt, 115th Infantry Rgt, 2nd and 5th Rangers and tanks of 743rd and 741st Tank 9 x2
battalions are mixed but went ahead on the initiative of some leaders. On the German side too, it was chaos, units
which suffered of the US landing were withdrawing to the hinterland while reinforcements began to arrive from the
rear. German 352.Infanterie Division tried to counter-attack toward Vierville with some combat engineer units and a
company of Panzerjäger but this attempt was quickly stopped by naval support artillery. In the evening,the
352.Infanterie Division had failed to drive back US troops in the sea. On each side, soldiers were exhausted, for them
the D Day was really the longest day.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
