Omaha: The Battle for the Beach (2004)

Omaha: The Battle for the Beach is a free-for-downloading game available from the Armchair General website. A Download Key is required; this is available to purchasers of the July 2004 issue of the magazine. The download itself consists of a zipped Adobe Acrobat file, from which the down loader will need to print 10 pages of rules, tables, counters, and the map. A color printer is recommended, but the game can be played on a black-and-white printout. The rules are designed for easy assimilation, and allow for a two-player game or a solitaire American player. The download page contains a short historical background of the Omaha beach landing and several paragraphs of designer's notes.
