There were more than 4000 land craft boats. There were also many battleships used in this war.
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.
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.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.

Very important. The Pacific theater was made of small islands held by the Japanese. They were dug in, so it meant that the troops had to land on each island and fight ( just like DDay landings, but many more than one). Support from the air was important in taking the islands because they would bomb the islands first. The Japanese air force also had planes that would bomb our ships so they worked at keeping them away from the ships and to fight them in the air. Watch the series Victory at Sea and you will see real footage of the war in the Pacific.
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.
