Bloody Omaha

I have my copy on order. Any comments from gamers that have seen the new module?

I have always enjoyed Normandy on a tactical level. Very soon I plan on playing the games.

The early versions of the scenarios looked really cool, with alot of good action. I can't wait to wade ashore and fight my way up the beach!

When I learn more, I'll let you know! :)

Drew,

I heard that Omaha was close, this true?

Omaha is getting close, but not that close! :) Mannerheim's Cross should be the next ATS release.

HTH,

My card was charged for Omaha this last billing cycle. Mannerheim's Cross was the last cycle or perhaps the one before. Very close.

I also had the opportunity to proof 14 scenarios for this game. It's a very interesting mix of large and small. There are some scenarios in which the GIs simply have to get ashore in one piece and some where the object is to get off the beach. There is Off Board Artillery representing naval ships, DD Tanks, US M15 and M16 AA Half Tracks (very lethal as fire support weapons as written in Joe Balkoski's Omaha book), landing craft, individual leader personalities, much more.

I am presuming although I do not know for sure that there will be some grand scenario that ties the whole of Omaha Beach together. I believe there are 2 maps layed lengthwise so that the battlefield is 6' long. This will be a major release.

Yes, from what I understand there will be a campaign book included in the game.

Looking very forward to it. It is now due up after Stonne.
