Clubfoot Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 It's pretty much finished. It "feels" right when played (IMHO, of course) w/ your back to the sea, frightening volleys of grazing MG42 fire and the thunderous bellowing of bunkered 88's. Airfix! Airfix! Expect to see it soon at Manx's. [ 06-23-2001: Message edited by: Clubfoot ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 WOW its looks great but why don't you throw some barbwire in there as well? I thought those beaches were littered with miles of barb wire strung all over the place? Beautiful job it looks great! -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 There are several barbed wire thingies in there. Look closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Johnson-- Posted June 22, 2001 Share Posted June 22, 2001 So what was the problem with doing Omaha beach? Something with a little action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted June 22, 2001 Author Share Posted June 22, 2001 a LITTLE action? Have you played the Omaha beach scenarios available? It sure is a blast to watch your little Allied troops be mercilessly blown to bits while floating along in their wood and canvas assault boats. Especially after waiting ten minutes for a turn to build. I wanted to create a nice, balanced, smaller scale scenario. So I focused on the first little group of the 8th infantry reg. that landed under cover of arty brush fire smoke at Utah. To imply their was no action at Utah beach is sheer folly. It began as the single most FUBAR beach landing, and ended a spectacular success for the Allies. Sorry, but IMHO, Omaha scenarios tend to be one-sided, meat-grinding bore-athons. Simulating a beach landing with little wooden boats when the defenders have clear LOS and gobs of MG ammo just seems kinda silly to me. But by all means, when the mod is available, use it to simulate any beach landing you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
