The first day of Operation Overlord was given the code name D-Day. This was decided months before by COSSAC.
It was the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe. It began with the landing at Normandy, France. The invasion saw the largest amphibious assault in history
August 25 1944 the DDay allied invaded Europe . It started on JUne 6,1944
Yes, they did not anticipate where the invasion would take place, not enough land was covered by their troops. They also thought that Dday would be postponed due to weather.
D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was primarily caused by the need to establish a Western front against Nazi Germany during World War II. The planning was influenced by prior successes in North Africa and Italy, as well as the desire to relieve pressure on Soviet forces in the East. Weather conditions significantly affected the operation, with initial delays due to poor weather leading to a last-minute decision to proceed despite unfavorable conditions. This combination of strategic necessity and environmental factors shaped the outcome of the invasion.
The allied forces decieded to use operation overlord (d-day) in order to get a foothold in Europe. Although they knew there would be hundreds of casualties, they felt it was the best chance to get a foothold in France

For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.
The Canadians were the first allied forces to take a beach on dday and had moved further inland then any other force and Juno Beach was one of the most heavily defended beaches as well.
