N44 question

[todk]

I still love PzC but I am very frustrated with one scenario.  How the heck do you get off the beaches at Omaha as the US?!  Playing the 9 turn scenario and it just seems that the ships, artillery and aircraft are virtually worthless vs pillboxes and bunkers.  Whey even have them?   From my 2 recent play-throughs it seems the only way is by bloody (and I mean bloody) assaults.  I do realize we are talking about Omaha Beach so I know it is not an easy one but historically they did it.  You need 800 points for a marginal victory and the best I've managed is about 350.  I know there is a way but I am not seeing it now.  Any pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks guys.
