What this is
In D-Day at Omaha Beach, players command the US landing forces that storm Omaha Beach on D-Day. A deck of 55 cards performs triple duty -- determining results of US amphibious landings, determining an event each turn, and determining which German units fire or perform other actions each turn. The player controls the US forces landing along the five mile stretch of Omaha Beach on D-Day and their desperate struggle to establish a viable beachhead.
