About Omaha: The Bloody Beach, from BoardGameGeek:
Omaha - The Bloody Beach, D-Day: June 6 to 8, 1944 is Game #3 in the 'Tactical Combat Series" (TCS) from The Gamers.
Huge simulation covering half of the Omaha Beach assault on D-Day, June 6th, 1944. This includes primarily the units of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, but also some troops of the 29th.
This game game with the old 2nd edition TCS rules, which had some issues especially regarding artillery. However, available for download from Multi-Man Publishing (and in Operations Magazine issue #21) are rules for playing the game under the much more streamlined TCS 3.1 Rulebook, and with these the game is very playable. Of course, that is a relative term given that the game includes (4) maps and 1680 counters and takes quite a commitment in time and space to play. Very satisfying though.
