"Building Le Port for Salute" Topic

A bit of a panic this week on Lard Island as Salute looms large. We're running participation games during the day which are set in the little hamlet of Le Port to the north of Pegasus Bridge. In this first article you can see how we're planning the game and allowing a degree of panic to encourage us onwards towards the big day: toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/?p=2559

Great stuff. I usually commit for a scenario using figures and terrain I do not currently have, in the goal of expanding my collection with the pressure of a convention game. Only to be short of time. But, nothing gets more figures painted, terrain finished and buildings created like the panic of a convention game deadline. Game on!

One statement that caught my attentions was this:
"I turned first to the GSGS 1:25,000 map of the area from April 1944"

Where do you find such maps?

Good luck,

Mike

TFL-
Neil Barber's book: "The Pegasus and Orne Bridges" has overhead pics of Le Port, the canal bridge area and Benouville on pages 37 to 41. I don't know the vintage of the photos but they may give some further detail.

By the way, I went browsing through you blog via your link and like the work on the buildings. Thanks for sharing and please keep us updated. This has been a favorite subject of mine since the film "The Longest Day" waaaay back when.

Hope you continue to post as this develops. I'm thinking of something similar
