Yes, it was. It was the beginning of the Axis forces total defeat.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.
The allied forces decieded to use operation overlord (d-day) in order to get a foothold in Europe. Although they knew there would be hundreds of casualties, they felt it was the best chance to get a foothold in France

D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.
About 3000 people died on Dday.
The importance of D-Day in World War II, was that the Allied forces were able to gain a foothold on Normandy, France. From this beach-head, the Allies would eventually (with a great loss of life and several setbacks) eventually bring the war in Europe to an end with Germany's defeat.
D-Day was the Allied invasion of German occupied France, on the beaches of Normandy on 6 june,1944.
