Taking all the victory objectives is most likely not possible unless your mad enough to run into unknown territory on trucks but thats fine I anticipate breaking out of the bottom road & capturing those 3 victory hexes there by about the halfway point of the battle & then moving up to help easy red get off the beach. By then the sniper there will be out of ammo but boy has he had fun hes killed a lot of men.

It appears that snipers were the biggest problem on Omaha Beach, at least for Imp. Come to think of it, snipers were my biggest problem in "Totenkopf Attacks." And snipers can be pretty devastating in just about any scenario where you're attacking against them.

This strikes me as a tad unrealistic, but then I've never experienced combat (thank goodness!) and I appreciate the sacrifices that many talented people have made to create and sustain this wonderful game too much to complain.

So my question is, What are the best ways to beat snipers--especially if they're dug in? Imp suggests smoke and recon. Any more suggestions?

Thanks and have a great day.
