well i think that half the fun is realism... i dont like a game where you just go and kill people. i like strategy and planning, not "ramboing" as you call it.

Think about it, why would a knowledgable O.S.S. officer fight at Omaha. That doesn't sound too realistic. I think it would only make sense that the U.S. would want to protect these agents as much as they can. No matter how good a fighter you were at Omaha, it didn't matter to a certain point.
I want to know more about the story line for this game.

I don't think, that, at the time, they knew that most of the people going to Omaha we're going to die. And if you bring up that question, that's like asking "Why would the US send their best soldiers(Rangers) into battle at Omaha?" Simply, to help win. They needed their best men there to assure success, and as it says in the Mission Summaries on the main site, they're asking him to lead the soldiers to victory, because he's skilled enough.

I don't think the boys in intelligence were expecting omaha to turn out the way it did either .. . else dont you think they would have done something?
He was to come in on the second wave, right *after* the beach was secured, however things didn't go as planned. So there lol

Ya, the main thing that got so many killed, was the terrible hit to miss ratio of the naval bombardments. Also, the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions were misdropped so they didn't get to flank the beaches or, really, get their mission done, many of them were killed upon landing into german occupied towns.
