Now we will get a new map based on Omaha and Sword Beach, I was wondering which beach the old Normandy maps are based on? Genuine question.

To our understanding,
this old “d-day” this is an amalgamation but it should be about the british landings on sword.
mostly because the map Oman is some sort of Calais Recreation due to the river crossing it’s city:
the other beach:
it’s an amalgamation of the Utah beach.
the only clue it’s given by the heights and the bunkers positioning:
and above all, the map saint mere egliese is indeed located in this map.
the other clue, is that in the map on the lower corner you can see a Krupp K5 Railway cannon.
which weren’t actively used, but the closest train rails were in calais and Saint mere egliese.
which the closest beach to saint mere egliese was Utah.
you can learn more here:
but if you try to look up pictures… it doesn’t really line up.
same kinda goes with stalingrad.
some places are iconic and faitfully reproduced. but scales and positions are off.
the new Omaha is more or less also an amalgamation because it’s rather short compared to the real counter part.
but i’m glad to see that there are couple of iconic places from the BOB serie.
such as the bocage, Brécourt Manor Assault, and few others that i’m forgetting the name.

I’d love to have all beaches as maps. Properly labeled of coarse so we know what where we are!
