Doing some rough math and taking into account the historical objectives for the first 24 hours versus the historical gains, I offer the following based on the 200 meters/hex:
Utah Beach
9km x 9km equals 45 x 45 hexes
Omaha Beach
8km x 6km equals 40 x 30 hexes
Juno/Gold
21km x 15km equals 105 x 75 hexes
Sword
12km x 12km equals 60 x 60 hexes
Cassino maps are 26 hexes by 19 hexes, so you would need about:
Utah - six maps
Omaha - four maps
Juno/Gold - 16 maps
Sword - six maps
Again rough measurements based on historical planned objectives for day one.
From a map perspective, not bad. For the supporting counters, that would be huge.

Ok. Any cartographers here? At PG scale how big (hexes / geomorphic maps) would one beach be?
