I thought it would be great to use it as a subject for either an Aerial attack or a raid. Robert My 1/600 Miniature Wargaming Yahoo Group

Sounds like a great idea. You can use them for Schnellboote too. |

I thought so too. It was a free download and actually comes with the U-boats and other craft including a seaplane. Robert My 1/600 Miniature Wargaming Yahoo Group

They look like the ones at St Nazaire which still exist (Or did when I was last there) |

Well it definitely caught my eye. It looks easy to build and the price is right  . Robert My 1/600 Miniature Wargaming Yahoo Group link |

I've seen the ones at Brest, and they are truly amazing.
These look great. |

Thanks. I think the creator of it did a really good job of it too. The diorama even comes with 5 Type VII U-boats  .

Would anyone know what types of air defenses there were around the pens?

Would anyone know what types of air defenses there were around the pens? Ground defenses? Interceptors/Fighters? Robert My 1/600 Miniature Wargaming Yahoo Group
