There is now some info about the DLC at the official home page
Deep Silver and X1 Software/AWAR today announced “D-Day”, an add on pack for the tactical World War II shooter “Iron Front – Liberation 1944”. The DLC takes the player to the western scene of the war. In the Normandy, the Allied armed forces fight against the German troops. ”D-Day” will be released in December 2012 and will be exclusively available for PC.
sounds interesting ... no word on price yet
Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.
The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire
Tracers work BOTH ways...

Ooh Ooh where ? I just wonder if they might of thought to remember The Brits, Canadians, Commonwealth and European elements of D-day. Or do we go down the Omaha route again ? Not complaining I'm sure it will be an excellent addon......
Edit...better Spell Omaha right, instead of Ohmama. LOL, I can however spell Gold, Juno and Sword correctly first time

Well we can hope, I am looking forward to this one though, be good to get the Armour system in on the Western Front, just have to edit scenarios with a bunch of Shermans, if its all Yank. (No offence Colonial cousins) Maybe they will field a 76mm version

This is great news. Everyone always wants to coop the Russians (which I hate because I dislike their basic equipment). At least now I can play on the Allied side without having to deal with the Russian crap (although their tanks are b!7@#in).

I was hoping for Brit/Commonwealth. Who in their right mind would want to fly a Jug when there's a Tiffie on offer?

yes and no ... it has got a lot better with the patches ...it still has some of the left over glitches from the arma engine
the real question is it playable .. YES !

All 101st airborne, all c47s etc etc etc same old same old rinse repeat! Judging by this game's past, lack of multiplayer fanbase, etc. I'd say they are not in a position to take a chance on developing a more niche game at this point i.e. portraying Canadians as the main centerpiece. Going Eastern front in the first one was already a risk and one that didn't seem to pay off. They need to tap into bigger markets with the highest appeal and a U.S. forces based game does that. I'm just happy they are continuing development. This game had so much promise but fell so short and frankly there aren't any other options for this kind of game out there in the single player market. We need companies like this still working. Besides, it's not like we've had a slew of actual realistic D-Day mil sims portraying Americans. Maybe the BIA series, but that was more call of duty then ARMA because of the linear maps. I bet you'll see British/Canadian units in this game as well.
