I don't care that it's 6 June, 1944. I want a tac nuke to deal with that! Fantastic bit of tabletop. |

Now that is an impressive piece of scenery! Good work. |

(When I visited it last year I could have sworn there more comm's trenches than that? Most probably my memory being less than sterling!) |

You're probably right Gunny :) I was working off the aerial recon photos but doubtless there were more. Some seem to be indicated beneath the road and are certainly there today. I've also seen some snaking up to casemate 4. Players will be able to dig their own garrison in where they'd like so I figured that would suffice to give the feel of the site. I'll post some updates shortly – been flocking all weekend! |

I've studied some of the hi-res original photos and it appears that a lot of the trenches had been back-filled by the spoil thrown out by bombs. |

Absolutely Jemima, that would certainly match the first-person accounts from the German point of view. |
