D-Day. Orne Bridges and Sword Beach. Game at NBHW.

Back over the August bank holiday weekend I played in our club's big D-Day game. The rules used were Rapid Fire and the miniatures 20mm (1/72, 1/76).

Apart from the plain flat terrain boards everything else is part of one member’s collection.

The game resulted in a German win this time, very poor morale dice by the British airborne troops allowed 21st Panzer to advance to support the rear of the beaches.

Here are a few pictures of the game I managed to take, with links at the end to loads more, plus a few videos.

First, set up and the first nights action.

I was unable to attend on the Saturday so the last pictures are from Sunday.
