71st_Mastiff Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) it's 1:00 am in England...June 6th, so when we wake up...:thumbup: the beachlandings will be happening... 300 hours H-hour 6th June 1944 At about 3:00 a.m. on D-Day, on the four-meter swells of the English Channel, Allied troops transferred to those landing craft, some twelve miles off the French coast. British troops headed left toward Caen, the Americans right toward Utah and Omaha beaches nearer Cherbourg, and the Canadians to Juno Beach. For the Americans, Omaha was a near-suicide mission. First, a powerful undertow swept away lives and weapons; ten landing craft with twenty-six artillery guns and twenty-two of twenty-nine tanks were swamped. Then, they faced a maelstrom of bullets. Within ten minutes of landing every officer and sergeant of the 116th Regiment was dead or wounded. Yet, by 10:00 a.m., as Americans received the first news of D-Day, 300 men had struggled through mortar fire, across the body and equipment strewn beach, and up a bluff to attack the German defenses. By nightfall, the Allies had a toehold on the continent, yet, on "Bloody Omaha" alone, 3,000 Americans lay dead. Edited June 6, 2012 by Mastiff incorrect date, ha typo's...

cichlidfan Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It is a bit farther along here, early 1943.

It's funny, though... I have a friend who's really into strategy and when I proposed getting a flight sim for him to come fly with me he was more like "I want to be the commander that tells you what to shoot."
