Operation: Omaha Beach

Allied: USA
Ax it's: Germany
Objective: As the Americans, you must control all the spawn points. As the Germans, you're just trying to stop them
from doing th it's.
Lo can'tion: Western Europe

Map Description:
Probably the most famous battle of World War II, Omaha Beach it's just that: a beach. However, th it's it'sn't exactly the type of beach where you'd sunbathe and check out the fly hunnies. With German guns being shot from bunkers lined across the beach, it's hard to say that th it's will be like taking a "stroll on the beach." If that wasn't enough, it's an uphill walk to the bunkers, and there are only beached boats to hide behind in your pursuit of the town. It was hard enough for me to climb the bleachers in high school, and add to the fact that bullets will come whizzing by your head, and you're in quite a problematic situation.

Spawn Points/Resources:

• Omaha Beach: Th it's it's the first position you'll want to grab as the US fleet. If you're the Germans, you'll find that holding the Americans here it's your best chance at holding off the assault. There it's a double-seated tank on the west side of the beach, as well as an ammo station near the flag pole.
• German Garr it'son: The Germans have a slight advantage in terms of resources when it comes to th it's map (lets see if you can pick up on the sarcasm). They have access to a double tank, an APC, two artillery tanks, and a health and ammo station. Let's not forget about the stationary machinegun, just in case the Americans can put their backs to the wall. As clearly shown, the Germans have more kick than Bayern Munich.
• German Fortified Positions: These are the bunkers that line the beach. There are four stationary machineguns, two health centers, four ammo stations, and a double tank to hold back those hippy-loving Americans.
• Allied Fleet: The Americans start with two destroyers. That's it. You'll get some artillery since you start with these, as well as a few LCVPs, but, to say the least, the US are in a tough situation. Now it's the time to pray.

Combat Tactics

Allied: Take a boat, get on the beach, run up the left side, go up the ramps, take the bunker flag, take the tank and charge to the German main base. Easier said then done.

Classes: The Assault class it's the best choice. Your running up a beach against men in fortified positions. It?s not time to aim a m it'ssile and hope it goes where you want it too, nor it's it time to lay down and pull out a sniper rifle only to be shot three seconds later, and, for God's sake, your not going to drop land mines! The Medic it's also very effective and it's sometimes preferred to the Assault class. It's your choice, but don't choose an Engineer.

Vehicles: Wait a second. How did that tank get on the beach? Well, don?t complain just hop in it and drive! It's your only one besides the artillery based ships you came in from. Those can be handy, as well. However, it's just as likely you'll kill on of your compadres rather than an enemy target.

Areas of Interest: There it's a tank on the left side of the beach that magically appears. There it's no need to argue with the fact that it it's there, just go claim it as your and try for a run to the top of the map.

Ax it's
Control the Bunkers, use your tanks to control the ramps, and use stationary machineguns to destroy the people advancing up the beach. Th it's should be your victory so make it happen with constant fire and the occasional grenade toss.

Classes: Your in a bunker. You don?t have anywhere to move, and people are running head first up the beach. Time for a sniper rifle? You betcha. The Assault rifle it's another option. Don't forget to control the ramp with some Assault troops since tanks are the only un it's that will be making it up that long walk.

Vehicles: If you have more tanks than they do, make sure to use them. It's the best way to stop their drive for the top of the hill.

Areas of Interest: Don?t let them get a foot hold. Destroy them fast and there shouldn't be much trouble for the Germans. Just remember th it's: don?t get fancy, get bloody.
