British infantry sections received specialised amphibious training and equipment for the landings. The Canadian 3rd Division had not seen combat but were supremely trained and prepared for the landings. The British 3rd had not seen combat since the battle of France in 1940 and were keen to get back in the fight. The British 50th Division landing on Gold beach was a veteran division that saw extensive service in Europe and North Africa prior to D-Day. By the end of the war it would attain more Victoria Crosses than any other division in the British Army.
This bundle forms the core of a British or Canadian amphibious invasion army, containing 30 infantry ably supported by an M4 Sherman ferried to the shore by an LCM landing craft. You'll also receive a flamethrower team and combat engineers to help deal with those difficult coastal fortifications.
