Turn 0: 6.28AMIt was a cold, grey morning. The sea was rough, and the smell of salty air mixed with vomit was not a nice one. "60 SECONDS!" called out the Navy pilot above the dull boom of incoming artilliery and soft roar of the sea. Hopefully the naval and aerial bombardment had made some hoes in the beach defenses. The landing was already a mess: craft were off course and confused, heading for the wrong sectors in a disordered manner. Some men were praying, some were fearfully silent. Others made a last check of thier weapons and gear. Squad leaders all around could be faintly heared barking out thier last orders to their men before the craft reached the beach and the ramp dropped. "30 SECONDS!" It was here that the liberation of Europe would begin, or fail. "10 SECONDS: CLEAR THE RAMP!"...
The landing craft scraped into the soft sand in the shallows and the ramp fell with a heavy clunk. Time to move...
(Landing rolls: US Rangers: 5 (clear of the water), 1st Inf: 3 (in the shallows), 29th Inf: 4 (almost dry))
(Naval bombardment roll: 1 (overshot, no effect). Aerial bombardment roll: 1 (overshot, no effect) - both much like real life!)

Please note your relevant start locations.
Your moveLets say you have 5 movement points at your disposal. You may use them as you see fit, maybe moving 3 tiles, finding cover then firing, or any combination that adds up to 5, or whatever total you may have been given for your character. Unused points do not roll over. I will carry out your actions in the order they are written, stopping if you run out of movement points. You get to move first, then the enemy get thier rolls, and so on. If you dont declare a move within a reasonable time (say 24 hrs), I will assume you are holding position/taking cover in your current square.
