Fun Trivia : Quizzes : D-Day : Could You Command? #1-D-Day

Introduction:
"You are a Captain in the U.S. Army on June 6, 1944. Do you think you can lead your squad safely through D-Day and into Normandy?"


1. You are on your boat heading towards Omaha Beach along with your squad of thirty soldiers. They will do whatever you tell them to. As you near the landing site, you hear mortars exploding in the water around you. Your first objective is to reach the barricaded sea wall. The boat lands, and the door lowers for your squad. Suddenly, you are barraged by MG42s firing at your boat from all angles! What do you do?
    Command your troops to jump off the sides of the boat, swim to the beach, and take cover.
    Hide in a back corner of the boat, watching your men get slaughtered.
    Run into the midst of the gunfire, hoping for the best as you head for cover.
    Run off the boat, scatter in all directions, and hope you reach the sea wall.


2. Once your squad is completely behind cover, you count up your casualties. Unfortunately, four men were taken out by machine gun fire and three drowned in the water due to the weight of their equipment. You have 23 men left. Now, you must reach the sea wall. The beach is littered with tank blockades and exposing craters for cover. What is your next move?
    Move slowly from cover to cover behind tank blockades until you're close enough to make a sprint to the sea wall.
    Drop all equipment to make running easier and run straight to the sea wall, ignoring cover in exchange for speed.
    Move some troops to craters to provide covering fire as the rest of you run for the sea wall.
    Send ten troops into the open as decoys while you and the other thirteen troops move around to the sea wall.


3. You've reached the sea wall and are taking another count of your men. Only three were picked off, leaving you with a squad count of twenty. Now you need to blow the barbed wire barricade running along the top of the sea wall. What do you call for to blow a passage through the barricade?
    Bandoliers
    Bangalores
    An air strike
    C4


4. Now you squad has a way through that barricade. You peek on the other side to see your options. Option 1: Stand in the now open area of sea wall and fire at the German machine gunners and toss grenades at them. Option 2: Blindly spread throughout the now open area, searching for passages while poorly dodging gunfire. Option 3: Get close enough to the bunker to receive full defilade from its fire and prepare from there. Option 4: Wait at the sea wall for reinforcements while being constantly barraged by mortar fire. Which option do you choose?
    Option 1
    Option 3
    Option 2
    Option 4


5. Now your safe. You know you next objective is to clear the bunkers. You and your squad scout the base of the bunker looking for an entrance. You find a door, but it's locked. The locks aren't too strong, but you won't be able to just walk right in. How do you open the doorway?
    Knock and ask politely if you may enter.
    Shoot at the door until you run out of ammo, hoping an enemy will open the door, wondering what's happening.
    Kick the door in, leaving you in the direct line of fire if an MG42 is aimed at the door.
    Plant some C4, take positions around the door, but out of blast radius, blow the door, toss a few grenades then clear out any stragglers.


6. You've entered the bottom of the bunker structure and are making your way up to the top. You come to the door where you know the enemy is firing their MG42s at the beach landing. You slowly enter with your squad and see that the only people up here are the two gunmen and their two spotters. You see that they all have their weapons laid down and are not prepared for a fight. Would blasting them to bits with submachine gun fire be the smart thing to do?
    Yes
    No


7. After dealing with the four men, you look to the left and right and see that only two more bunkers are still firing. The Allied troops are still landing on the beach, so it would be smart to take care of both bunkers ASAP. What is your best method of attack?
    Set up base here and wait for the rest of the Army to take care of the bunkers.
    Try and turn the stationary MG42s towards the bunkers and fire like crazy.
    Split into two teams and head for both bunkers simultaneously.
    Pick up a radio and contact the other bunkers, telling them to surrender.


8. You lead one of your squads to the bunker on the right of you, little resistance on the way. You enter and take care of the bunker in the same way as you took care of the first one. You expect your other squad had it the same, but as you look across to the other bunker, you learn the other squad's been ambushed! They are being attacked from inside the bunker and are pinned down behind some sandbags. Half of that group has been lost already. Quick, what do you do?
    Hide behind the sandbags as well.
    Scale around the bunker to the front, roll in through the front window, and hope they are too focused to notice you.
    Rush into the enemy, firing wildly in an attempt to push the Germans back at the cost of men.
    Have some of your squad lay down extra suppressing fire on the bunker door as you toss a grenade through the doorway.


9. Now all the bunkers are cleared. A wide area sits behind you. You can see the Germans are falling back. You know your fifteen men are good shots and you feel like getting some payback. Should you fire upon the fleeing Germans?
    Yes
    No


10. All the Germans are cleared out. Every machine gun nest is unmanned and at our disposal. What should be your final act of the day?
    Brag to other squadrons of your accomplishments.
    Take potshots at Allied troops on the beach so they don't "miss out on the fun."
    Set up camp with your squad and wait for further orders.
    Move ahead without orders in the direction of the fleeing German troops.
