A rookie approach to Omaha Beach

[Andrea G]

Easy.
Don't play the _Alt version.

The _Alt version is brutal (and IMHO far too much so).
Improved bunkers, AT-ditches that have to be removed before any assault can actually take place, Alt. Assault as default, and a 200% TEM.
No thanks, I get enough punishment in my daily life.

Should I ever decide to play an _Alt campaign, I'd give serious consideration to simply not landing at Omaha in the first place. Germans will have their hands full keeping back the Brits/Canadians in the first place.
And if by some miracle the Yanks actually make it off Omaha, they'll be in no shape to support any of the other landings. All you'll be doing is offering the Germans free casualty-points.

 that's the trick.
Good to know.
