This is an interesting question - I don't have any of the mentioned expansions but this actually sounds like a pretty good idea. Of course we can play whatever house rules we want, but I'm interested to hear some more experienced players weigh in on this. Anyone?
If you give it a try, come back and let us know how it went.

I tried First Assault Wave - Omaha with On the Move orders. (I just added the On The Move orders to the appropriate cards in the normal deck.)
It gave the Americans a much better chance in this scenario. It allowed the Americans to do some strategic troop movement while tying down the German forces elsewhere. Being able to move troops out of the water while still attacking and tying down the artillery was great. My next order could be used to move troops out of the beach while the newly arrived tropps continued to assault the bunkers.
It also allowed the Germans to react to the less pressing situations, when they could move their non-frontline units towards the hotspots (and likely hotpsots)while still pinning down American troops on the beach.
I think On the Move worked great in this scenario, and made it more balanced, but still not favouring the Americans.
Germans still took the win 6-5.

My group played Beda Fomm twice with it just the other week - more for the updated Barrage and Medics and Mechanics cards than for on the move.
In the end we found it was fairly neutral in effect in a scenario where one side is trying to exit the board.
I believe it's going to be our preferred deck for normal games from now on.

You can of course simply swap the original Barrage and M&M (and Air Power?) with the new Breakthrough tactic cards. They have the same design on the back of the card as the original deck.

 of course.
We were interested in trying out On The Move in a regular game and I also didn't want to be swapping cards in and out of decks every time I changed format.
In the end it all worked out fine.
