Omar Bradley in Worldwar

Omar Bradley was one of the most successful generals in United States' war against the Race's Conquest Fleet. He and General George Patton scored a major victory in the winter offensive in 1942. Later, Bradley defeated the Lizard offensive against Denver.

The Race's fleet arrived in 1942. Bradley was one of the key U.S. generals responsible for successfully defending American soil. In Winter, 1942, he and General Patton launched a successful counter-offensive against the Race after its successful attack on Chicago, the first the U.S. had been able to launch. The planned encirclement succeeded, preventing the Race from advancing beyond Chicago.

In 1944, Bradley and General Leslie Groves oversaw the defense of Denver, the city that housed the U.S. vitally important atomic bomb program. The battle was fought just outside the city. When the U.S. deployed a atomic bomb against the invaders, the offensive was haulted, and the city saved.
