Every first day of landing on one of the islands were D-Days. D-Day is the designation given for the first day a military battle starts. So when they land it is D-Day and the next day is D-Day plus one. The thirty first day is D-Day plus 31. Most civilians don't understand that and think the only D-Day was the landing on the Normandy beaches in France. It was only one D-Day among many in World War 2.
The island landings were like the Horror of Omaha Beach in Normandy. Hundreds or even thousands of Marines were cut down on the islands when they landed or while they were still on the sea or in the sea trying to get to the beaches. The landings were bloody, noisy, smoky and they had no place to hide just as what happened on Omaha beach.
Nearly all of the D-Day landings in the Pacific Theater and European Theater of Operations were scary, deadly and extremely difficult because the Japanese and the Nazis were very good forces.
It was the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe. It began with the landing at Normandy, France. The invasion saw the largest amphibious assault in history
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.
I want you imagine that you are 17 years old and in a landing ship. You are put near shore where you wade into German gunfire and people dying all around you. Watch the DDay footage of that day.

how many tanks were there durind dday
They were held up because most of their tanks sank. They beach was better defended than most and it was almost impossible to advance to the sea wall.
on the 6/6/1944 the greatest beach landing in the history of warfare occured on a few beaches like ''gold'' and ''sword''. but the biggest kill zone was in ohama beach. 3 hours of blood lust, more than 5,000 deaths for 200m of ground.
About 3000 people died on Dday.
D-Day was the Allied invasion of German occupied France, on the beaches of Normandy on 6 june,1944.
