Default Re: Fortifications German

If I am not mistaken, the game manual states quite clearly somewhere that the German OOB stretches to the end of 1946 in order for the players to generate various "what if" scenarios/campaigns based on the premise that the Germans would have been able to prolong the war by an extra year by some miracle. Though the historical likelihood of such an occurrence might be up to debate, the premise is not exactly rare in popular fiction (including secret Nazi bases in Antarctica or Moon). There are even a couple of German "what-if" heavy tank designs included in the OOBs for 1946, to pit against some of the heavy hardware that US, Britain and Soviet Union managed to crank out a bit too late to see action before the war ended.

As for recreating the Omaha beach defenses, I would recommend opening a scenario editor and creating a new amphibious landing scenario with the map you had in mind. You can then place the fortifications (including ones nicked from other OOBs) exactly where you want and add/remove armaments as much as you want. That said, there is little point in issuing bunkers with more ammunition than they can consume during the duration of a game.
