Omaha (1991)

Game #3 in The Gamers 'Tactical Combat Series'

Huge simulation covering half of the Omaha Beach assault on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. This includes primarily the units of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, but also some troops of the 29th.

Scale is 125 yards/hex, each turn is 20 minutes and units typically represent platoons.

This game included the old 2nd edition TCS rules, which had some issues especially regarding artillery. However, available for download (and in Operations Magazine issue #21) are rules for playing the game under the much more streamlined TCS 3.1 Rulebook, and with these the game is very playable. Of course, that is a relative term given that the game includes (4) maps and 1600+ counters and takes quite a commitment in time and space to play. Very satisfying though.
