The book 'Gold Beach' by Christopher Dunphie has the following figures:

Sword: 28,845 landed, 630 killed or wounded
Gold: 25,000 landed, 413 killed or wounded
Juno: 21,400 landed, 304 killed, 574 wounded
Omaha: 34,000 landed, over 2000 killed or wounded
Utah: 23,250 landed, no k or w figures supplied - just 'light casualties'

I hope Normandy maps like this have some real thick bocage hedgerows and sunken lanes in the inland zones...

Will there be planes on this map? I'm only asking because of the barrage balloons....there probably wasn't much involvement in the actual event.

Cheers

If my memory serves me well, the situation at Utah were that the landing troops made the landing some kilometers off the intended zone and thus flanked the German fortifications and made it out with just 'light casualities'. Luck comes in many forms...

Yes I have seen it done many times, actualy I think it's hard to play allied, having 20 Machine guns at you when you land. But once a flag is taken teh germans are have a 25% chance of winning.

I am pretty sure there will be planes, but remember this is after the landing NOT during the landing.

Axis kill all british ships, insant win for axis.

They just have to scramble and sink the ships in the first few min.
