General Omar Bradley was in charge of American troops on D-Day.
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.
Yes, they did not anticipate where the invasion would take place, not enough land was covered by their troops. They also thought that Dday would be postponed due to weather.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.

D-Day was the Allied invasion of German occupied France, on the beaches of Normandy on 6 june,1944.
During World War II, the 'D-Day' event took place on June 6, 1944. On this day, Allied troops made an amphibious landing on the northern coast of France, in the region of Normandy. Seizing a beach-head in the face of sometimes fierce opposition from German defenders, the Allied troops ensured that 'D-Day' was a success, although much bitter fighting lay ahead before the Allies would succeed in advancing towards Germany and ending the war.
