History
Gold Beach lay in the invasion area assigned to the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division commanded by Major General Douglas Alexander Graham, and the British 8th Armored Brigade of the British 2nd Army, under Lieutenant General Miles Dempsey. Gold Beach had three main assault sectors – these were designated (from west to east): Item, Jig (split into sections Green and Red), and King (also in two sections named Green and Red). A fourth named How was not used as a landing area.
The beach was assaulted by the 50th (Northumbrian) Division (which included the Devonshire, Hampshire, Dorsetshire and East Yorkshire regiments) between Le Hamel and Ver sur Mer. Attached to them would be elements of 79th (Armoured) Division. The 231st Infantry Brigade would come ashore on Jig Sector at Le Hamel/Asnelles and the 69th Brigade at King Sector in front of Ver sur Mer. Number 47 (Royal Marine) Commando, attached to the 50th Division for the landing, was assigned to Item sector.

Creator's Comments
This map was one of my quickest maps I ever made. It took me less then 2 days, and one day if you don't count adding sectors. I got a lot of inspiration for the map from the Gold Beach map for the Forgotten Hope mod for Battlefield 1942.I thought that this type of layout would be very enjoyable for the players of OMG because beach assault maps are just cool, and actually pretty easy to balance if you do it right.
