Ukraine War 2022 - 15mm Wargame Video
What is WRONG with me?
My God, I think there is something legitimately wrong with me. What kind of fool tries to recreate a legitimate, full-scale, platoon-based, historically “approximate” re-staging of ALL of Omaha Beach?
Well, the map is complete. The initial forces are set up. Just a few special rules to iron out and it’s time to start this apocalyptic game.
Amazing work! Well done.
You know, we should call the folks that just did the World’s Largest Tabletop Game and get pointers on making this Omaha Beach come to life. No pressure! ??
Again great work Jim!
@templar007 – I would say this Omaha Beach is coming to life, starting perhaps as early as later this evening, just a soon as I smooth out and codify a few special rules regarding tidal drift, German beach obstacles, American naval gunfire support, German “pre-sited” special artillery rules (at least on Beach Hexes) …

… it will be a LOT. 😀 Bring on the P-47s, baby!
My apologies for the statement “come to life”. I know the game you have been breathing life into is alive. Very much so with a look at all the work you’ve put into your map and counters.

My apologies in turn if I sounded like I was taking that too seriously, @templar007 – I promise I was kidding around. 😀 😀 😀 Re-reading my post, I can see where that might not have been clear. You’re one of our our best and most loyal supporters, I would never think you were disparaging any of my projects or work.
Now if you’ll excuse me, Dog Green is calling … 😮
Nothing wrong with you at all @oriskany ! I pee’d a little when I saw this board! Wow! Were there any DD tanks with the American forces? Or are they being brought in on landing craft?
Thanks, @cpauls1 – we have had some KICKASS Panzer Leader games lately with guys in the UK ( @damon and @brucelea ) – the re-play highlights are now up on our YouTube channel. So I’m not afraid of running “normal” Panzer Leader on the web … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmEM_gfkyjU … it’s mega-games this size. Total American counters (all waves until 12:00 D-Day) = 400 counters. Yeah, it’s crazy. American tanks on Omaha: that’s complicated. The short version: some were landed via LCTs (Landing Craft, Tank). These are the 9-A*-8 four-tank platoons (hence the smaller values) with the dozer blades. These were either… Read more »
