In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. — Eisenhower, Letter to Allied Forces Kanium Sunday 5th of June "Operation Overlord - Utah Beach" by Apocalypse For all players: From now on we will be there about 30 minutes before go time to test everything.

We love playing with you all, the arranger and CO loves you even more if you sign up in advance 😁 Operation Overlord - Utah Beach by Apocalypse 0. Background. On D-Day the 70th Tank Battalion landed on Utah Beach supporting the 8th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division. Unlike the DD tanks on Omaha Beach, most of the 70th's DD tanks made shore. All of Company B's tanks made it to the beach, although four Company A tanks and all but one of their crew were lost when their LCT hit a mine before the tanks could launch. The Company C tanks and dozer tanks were landed directly onshore and went to work clearing obstacles. Although the units landed about 2,000-yard off their designated objectives, they were fortunate that the actual landing sites were less well defended and General Roosevelt had them reoriented as they hit the beach. Company D, landing at H+260 was to link up with the 101st Airborne Division and provide them tank support as the paratroopers secured the causeways leading inland from the beaches. The following day, the medium tank companies assisted the 8th Infantry Regiment in consolidating the beachhead by clearing the pockets of German resistance in and around Ste. Mère Église and linking up with the 82nd Airborne Division, preparatory to the push toward the port town of Cherbourg. The beach and the inland area were defended by the 709. Infanterie-Division and the 352. Küsten-Division. These units were composed largely of prisoners of war from the Eastern Front who had chosen service in the German army over a prisoner of war camp; they were often led by fanatic German officers. Germans flooded a large part of the area behind the beach. The only way to get through this flooded area was over the five causeways. These were designated by the Americans as "exits" and numbered from south to north. These exits were defended by pockets of resistance, concentrations of casemates, bunkers, and machinegun nests, among others. The Germans had built seven of these pockets along the coast of Utah Beach and inland. The beach itself was littered with tightly packed obstacles, such as Belgian gates with mines lashed to the uprights, steel hedgehogs, barbed wire, and minefields. II. Mission. Attack to clear enemy positions south of Turqueville. III. Execution Will be uploaded when SHAEF has finished planning OBSERVE: This Scenario is special and to commemorate the Invasion of Normandy June 6th, 1944. Hence there is a special map for this one: And here is a testscenario that you can verify it with after you installed the map: Apocalpse_OperationOverlord_DDay_v2 TEST.sce Edited May 30, 2022 by Nike-Ajax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
