02 Getting Started Utah Beach

RE: 02 Getting Started Utah Beach
They could, that is what the game is based on is things like that. If you want to watch history, then a documentary is best. The game, as in war itself, is not about what "should" happen, it is about skill and luck and happenstance, that results in what happens. Poor communications, confusion, the chance shot that takes a leader out or having panic spread. Just because on June 6, 1944, the Utah defenders didn't put up much fight doesn't mean that there wasn't a chance that these poor quality troops actually stand up and fight hard, as many did on Omaha - until the US forces pushed in close in some cases, then they gave up the fight.

So they might undisrupt, so what? Then the position is going to put up a tougher fight, as expected. If they don't they put up little fight and history happens - again, the situation couldn't be any better from the US perspective but it could have been worse, this would replicate that. And at D quality, it is unlikely the defenders will undisrupt en masse.

But lots of things can be tried, depends on what the designer is trying to replicate. History, then break the defenders or remove them entirely, they put up little enough fight and you will get what happened. Alternatively, remove the bunkers, that would give the ability to achieve exactly what happened. Although I don't think either would be much fun in play. Historical, then I think disrupting may be just the ticket.
