On 6 June 1944, one word is written in the pages of the history books in letters of blood and fire, OMAHA! With this expansion pack for Heroes of Normandy, you can enjoy a sunny day at the beach or a quiet, bucolic afternoon on the farm. In the Heroes of Normandy Bloody Omaha Battle Pack, relive the terrible landing of the 1st US Infantry Division (Big Red One). In addition to the forces in the base pack, American forces will have at their disposal combat engineers from the Big Red One, a Ranger battalion, an infantry regiment from the 29th Division and the 743rd US Tank Battalion. Not to be outdone, the German forces had a battalion of the Festungkompanie, Panzer-Aufklarungs and a Panzergruppe of the 2nd Panzer Division to fiercely defend the beach. Let's not forget the addition of the High Command which will allow you to play the American and German air forces, but also to rain artillery on your opponent, will you choose the explosive or smoke shells?
New heroes are available for both sides, as well as a plethora of equipment and support options. Play through 4 scenarios ranging from Omaha beach to a small farm near the coast with 6 new double-sided terrain boards. One thing is for sure, you'll understand why this beach was infamously renamed "Bloody Omaha". You must own a copy of Heroes of Normandy, the base box, to play with this Battlepack.
