OMAHA BEACH
By Christopher Perello

T
he western Allies returned to northwestern Europe on 6 June 1944
with landings at five beaches—codenamed west to east Utah,
Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—along a 50-mile stretch of the
Normandy coast. The defenses were expected to be strong but thin, so the
assault troops were to push inland quickly, aiming to form a single complete
lodgment by nightfall. Things went more or less according to plan on four
of the five beaches, and by midday the attackers were beginning to move
off the beach. At Omaha, however, everything that could go wrong did.
The first surprise was the strength of the defense. The five-mile beach
was supposed to be manned by a single second-rate German battalion,
no match for the two US infantry divisions landing there. Unknown
to Allied intelligence, the beach had been substantially reinforced by
portions of a first-class German division. Now there was the equivalent
of two full battalions in place, armed with 60 light cannon and mortars,
18 anti-tank guns, and 85 machineguns, and closely supported by four
artillery batteries. A trench ran along the bluffs overlooking the beach,
punctuated with 15 strongpoints and many machinegun nests.
The strength of the current came next. The first wave consisted of
nine companies—one of Rangers and eight of infantry—going ashore at
designated landing zones. All but two were pushed to the east to land at

D-DAY BOX GAMES
Deluxe Version with Mounted Game Board
D-Day at Omaha Beach (Re-print) recreates America’s most bloody and heroic day
of World War II. In this solitaire game from the designer of the solo classics RAF and
Ambush, you control the forces of the US 1st and 29 th Divisions landing under fire on the
Normandy shore, and struggling desperately to establish a viable beachhead. The game
is also great for two players playing cooperatively, each controlling one US division.
US units include assault infantry, amphibious tanks, artillery, engineers and
HQs. The game system controls the hidden German defenders in Widerstandsnest
resistance points on the bluffs overlooking the beaches. US forces that manage to
break through the deadly coastal defenses and reach the high ground must then
contend with German mobile reinforcements in the bewildering hedgerows of
Normandy’s bocage. An innovative diceless combat system highlights unknown enemy
deployments and the importance of utilizing the right weapons and tactics.
Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while controlling German
strategy and introducing extensive historical detail. The game includes amphibious
landings, German artillery and rocket barrages, US naval bombardment, tides, engineer
operations, and intangibles such as US leadership under fire and the initiative of the
American GIs.
Scenarios: The First Waves (two to three hour playtime) introduces the basics of
the game in a recreation of the initial assault. Beyond the Beach (four to five hours)
picks up on the high ground at 10:00 a.m. and adds rules for German tactics. D-Day
at Omaha Beach (seven hours) covers the entire day, from 6:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Optional rules explore what-ifs, such as more pre-invasion bombardment or the
arrival of German armor.

D-Day at Tarawa is a solitaire game simulating the amphibious invasion of Betio Island
in the Tarawa Atoll. The US marines assaulting the tiny island, with its strategically vital
airstrip, found themselves in their toughest battle of World War II, a fight to the death
against 5,000 Japanese defenders.
D-Day at Tarawa advances the solitaire game system of its award-winning
predecessor D-Day at Omaha Beach to the next level. You control the US forces against
a tenacious Japanese defense. An innovative diceless combat system highlights
unknown enemy deployments and the importance of the right weapons and tactics.
Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while introducing extensive
historical detail.
Players familiar with Omaha Beach will recognize the harrowing amphibious
landings, overlapping enemy fields of fire, uncanny Japanese strategies, and the
emergence of US heroes and leaders, as the story of the two-day struggle unfolds.
Tarawa adds new features covering LVT landing craft, movement through the
surrounding coral reefs, close combat, Japanese night infiltration, US combat
engineers and Japanese tanks.

SCENARIOS
• The First Waves – can your marines survive the initial landings?
• November 20, 1943 – establish a viable beachhead before nightfall.
• Two Days in Hell – can you secure the island in two days?
• November 21, 1943 – on D+1, expand your narrow beachhead
against undiminished Japanese resistance.

D-DAY BOX GAMES
Deluxe Version with Mounted Game Board
D-Day at Omaha Beach (Re-print) recreates America’s most bloody and heroic day
of World War II. In this solitaire game from the designer of the solo classics RAF and
Ambush, you control the forces of the US 1st and 29 th Divisions landing under fire on the
Normandy shore, and struggling desperately to establish a viable beachhead. The game
is also great for two players playing cooperatively, each controlling one US division.
US units include assault infantry, amphibious tanks, artillery, engineers and
HQs. The game system controls the hidden German defenders in Widerstandsnest
resistance points on the bluffs overlooking the beaches. US forces that manage to
break through the deadly coastal defenses and reach the high ground must then
contend with German mobile reinforcements in the bewildering hedgerows of
Normandy’s bocage. An innovative diceless combat system highlights unknown enemy
deployments and the importance of utilizing the right weapons and tactics.
Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while controlling German
strategy and introducing extensive historical detail. The game includes amphibious
landings, German artillery and rocket barrages, US naval bombardment, tides, engineer
operations, and intangibles such as US leadership under fire and the initiative of the
American GIs.
Scenarios: The First Waves (two to three hour playtime) introduces the basics of
the game in a recreation of the initial assault. Beyond the Beach (four to five hours)
picks up on the high ground at 10:00 a.m. and adds rules for German tactics. D-Day
at Omaha Beach (seven hours) covers the entire day, from 6:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Optional rules explore what-ifs, such as more pre-invasion bombardment or the
arrival of German armor.

D-Day at Tarawa is a solitaire game simulating the amphibious invasion of Betio Island
in the Tarawa Atoll. The US marines assaulting the tiny island, with its strategically vital
airstrip, found themselves in their toughest battle of World War II, a fight to the death
against 5,000 Japanese defenders.
D-Day at Tarawa advances the solitaire game system of its award-winning
predecessor D-Day at Omaha Beach to the next level. You control the US forces against
a tenacious Japanese defense. An innovative diceless combat system highlights
unknown enemy deployments and the importance of the right weapons and tactics.
Event cards keep the action flowing and the rules simple, while introducing extensive
historical detail.
Players familiar with Omaha Beach will recognize the harrowing amphibious
landings, overlapping enemy fields of fire, uncanny Japanese strategies, and the
emergence of US heroes and leaders, as the story of the two-day struggle unfolds.
Tarawa adds new features covering LVT landing craft, movement through the
surrounding coral reefs, close combat, Japanese night infiltration, US combat
engineers and Japanese tanks.

SCENARIOS
• The First Waves – can your marines survive the initial landings?
• November 20, 1943 – establish a viable beachhead before nightfall.
• Two Days in Hell – can you secure the island in two days?
• November 21, 1943 – on D+1, expand your narrow beachhead
against undiminished Japanese resistance.
