Here is the position in a game of Breakout:Normandy I am playing with Alan Moorhouse.
The paratroopers did their usual bridge capturing. (I am reading a book about Pegasus bridge. Automatic capture of bridges by paratroopers seems too easy...)
The Naval and air bombardments managed to flip the Coastal Arty on Omaha & the defender on Utah, but didn't touch ANYTHING else! The British got very lucky with their landings and hold Juno & Gold and have almost got Sword. The Americans blasted their way onto Utah, but the 5 out of 7 attacking units got interdicted on Omaha and the assault failed leaving all the Americans at Omaha D1.
After the landings the Germans moved to protect Bretteville & moved units of the 752nd and 30th up from the rear. The British 8th Armor eliminated the Coastal Arty at Port-en-Bessen. The Germans tried the obvious shot with the 352 ARTY on Omaha and Managed to blast everyone leaving ALL the Americans at Omaha D2!!!! The rest of the day was passed with the Allies landing some ART & the German's trying (& failing) to blow up bridges and doing some minor rearrangments.
I would say that if you can ignore Omaha the position looks pretty good for the allies. Omaha is pretty dismal. I was counting on at least taking out the Fort during the refit phase, but I now I fear that will never take the beach. I guess I'll have to wait & see...
