What was overlord codename for in 1944?
Operation 'Overlord' is the code-name for the invasion of Normandy and the task of bringing Allied (British, American, Canadian and Commonwealth are the most major) troops into West Europe, and keeping them there. It lasted about three months and ended with an Allied 'victory' in the sense that they completed the objectives that they had set in the time frame they had predicted (More or less).
What does the D stand for in MFD or microfarads?
It's the last letter - MFD is an abbreviation for microfarad - a unit of electrical capacitance named after Michael Faraday.

Is there free roaming for overlord 2?
There isn't. You could always go back to old areas and kill the little people that spawn there, but that isn't exactly free-roaming. The whole game is a set-Single Player game. I think free-roaming would be fun for Overlord 2, but it was never made.

The COSSAC staff (Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander) had begun planning the Normandy invasion even before Eisenhower was named Supreme Commander. They initially designated the American beaches X and Y. Rear Admiral Alan G. Kirk, commanding the Western Naval Task Force supporting them, suggested they be called OMAHA and OREGON, names familiar to Americans and not easily confused in voice transmissions. Somehow OREGON became transmuted into UTAH.

overlord 1 and overlord 2 are equally good not only do the both of them have alternate endings many good levels you will enjoy both o them
15+ hours, says Gametrailers.com. And usually when they say stuff like that, they've most probably rushed through the game. I'd add at least 5 hours for casual gamers, and another 10 for explorers!
