    Watch part 1 of the full version here (warning: long intro): • RUTHLESS DOG WHITE SEC...
    I wanted to revisit this stunning Omaha Beach D-Day map made by RedDotBlackSquare and the quite decent (if I may say so myself) battle I created on it. However, we're not just gonna sit here and enjoy the battle. No, this time we're actually experimenting a bit using this particular style of battle, a landing or naval invasion containing waves of infantry. How likely are you to surive being part of the first wave? How big is the risk of being KIA if you're landing 10 minutes after the first wave? We're about to find out!

      @@tyxfit The 189 is your 100 of which 1 guy survived. So 1 is your .5 out of 100%. It would have been more interesting had more of the 1st and 2nd wave survived. Could have looked at more on the correlation. Even something like the percentage of loss/region of the map matched against the number of german defenders. Actually interesting how relative to expectrd casualties the 3rd wave lost a lot more the I would have though they would. Lot of it was due to AI stupidity with th 88 at the end and so on.

    Hey Diplex! this is my second and last time commenting this.
    During the early stages of World war 2, the British occupied Iceland out of fear of a German invasion. Of course, this invasion never came and the island stayed in relative peace for the remainder of the war. I think it could be interesting if we saw the German planned invasion of Iceland, Operation Ikarus. We could see German troops from the 163rd infantry division landing from the converted Ocean liners, Europa and Bremen on the black pebble beaches of Iceland or German and British troops clashing in the cities of Reykjavik and Akureyri. Just an Idea but I hope you consider it.
    Glad to see you regularly uplaoding. Keep up the good work!

    My Dad was there. He waited till I was 18 and my draft number was 4 for Vietnam and I got my letter to report to boot camp. Then he told me about the landing. He survived and the tank division he was with chased the Germans the whole way across France to Germany. He was shot 3 times and after the war came home and never talked about it till he talked to me. I never made it to Vietnam. I was shot in the back at Kent State in 1970. Paralyzed for 6 months. I still get headaches almost daily. Dad was always my hero.

    Blown away by the tactics that were used in the real battle. The amount of time that it took to adjust while ppl died is amazing. From what I’ve read the naval gun support for actually aiming at what was shooting at the troops came way late if at all as evidenced by the bunkers still standing to this day that could’ve been targeted as Americans were under fire.

Omaha beach didn't have this type of construction so near of the beach ( I could be wrong) but Sword and Juno had. What I am saying give the British a chance on this battle.

      It should, I must have missed it because I'm a huge World War II buff. However yeah you're right most of the Americans landed on Utah Beach and Omaha Beach and yeah I think there were several other ones but Utah Beach and Omaha Beach tend to be the most I guess historical or relevant or credited Etc I'm not sure what the actual casualties were as far as the first wave on those beaches but I'm sure it wasn't good. The first man who landed on that beach were basically cannon fodder and distractions so that the second third and fourth wave could come in and set up and start returning fire. can you imagine being the first guy to step off or jump over the side of one of those Higgins boats as it hit the beach in the first wave? I mean the balls on those guys must have just been f****** massive probably easy targets. But in all seriousness it takes an incredible amount of bravery and dedication and just self-control to jump off of those boats as they hit the beach knowing that you're the first guy the first troop to set foot in France on the Western Front against the Nazis knowing you're probably going to die or at least get shot or severely wounded. I can't even begin to imagine.
