Close Combat 1 The Normandy Campaign was the result of more than two and a half years of planning by the best brains available to the Allied Forces.... and now they've put you in charge !!??? Figure that out!! Such are the fortunes of war! The actual invasion was delayed by a month, then almost delayed one last time by bad weather until the the decision to go was given on June 6th, largely because the tides would not be favourable again for another month.		" The war will be won or lost on the beaches.We'll have only one chance to stop the enemy and that's while he is in the water." Field Marshall Erwin Rommel
Operation Overlord, the Allied plan for June 6th, 1944
