Description
During the first six months of 1944, the Allied Forces concentrated land, naval, and air forces in England to prepare for Operation Overlord, the assault on what was known as Hitler’s “Fortress Europe.” While the Soviet Union tied down a great portion of the enemy’s forces, the western Allies marshaled their resources, trained their forces, separately and jointly, for the operation, and fine tuned the invasion plans to take full advantage of their joint and combined capabilities.

Nine army divisions (three airborne and six infantry) from the United States, Britain and Canada trained and rehearsed their roles in the carefully choreographed operation. Rangers climbed cliffs, engineers destroyed beach obstacles, quartermasters stockpiled supplies and infantrymen waded through the English surf as each honed the skills necessary for the invasion’s success.

Finally, on June 6, 1944 the assault was launched. Amphibious craft landed some 130,000 troops on five beaches along 50 miles of Normandy coast between the Cotentin Peninsula and the Orne River while the air forces controlled the skies overhead. In the eastern zone, the British and Canadians landed on GOLD, JUNO and SWORD Beaches. The Americans landed on two beaches in the west–UTAH and OMAHA. As the Allies came ashore, it took several hours to make the 200meter trek across the deadliest beach any of the men had seen. In total, the allies suffered approximately 10,000 casualties, but it was the first step on the final road to victory…

Now 65 years later, LV Airsoft, a new force with aspirations for global domination, is threatening the world order once again. Threatened by the sheer altitude of their base, a multinational coalition force is mounting an assault on LVA’s “Fortress Highest Point in Bath”. With this new D-Day set for 21 March 2009, the multinational coalition forces have one month to train and prepare themselves to storm and take the beach, take out the gun battery, and continue to hold the beach until reinforcements arrive. What shall become of this modern retelling of one of history’s most famous battles? Will the coalition be able to secure a foothold that will help win the war, or will they fall and the LV Airsoft group emerge victorious?
