Nice looking board. Hopefully the person who ran the game will chime in with how he ran the game. I did find it a little disturbing that the troops where fed into combat on "food trays".  Tim |

Yeah, I understand the desire the make them easy to keep sorted, but it did detract from the look of the table having the trays nestled close to the beach like landing craft. |

I believe the trays were only out during set-up and take-down. |

I believe that this game and scenery was the work of Duane Rock in New Orleans. He is the guy in the black shirt on the far right of the group photo of the participants. |

I ran a Normandy Game as a test for some future, larger games. My terrian in the pics isn't quite that high, but I need to build some actual cliff terrian, with built in bunkers and trenches on top, before I run the next game. link David G. |

Bill this game looks awesome. My grandpa was living 10 miles from sainte mere leglise and saw d day. He saved three American paratroopers. I now live in chicago and is a us citizen. No surprise that Normandy is my favorite. |

Kind of puts into perspective what the Allied troops had to deal with when they landed better than any movie I've ever seen. |

Coopman is correct. That was Duane. All his games are that way. He did an Johnny Reb game a few years back and he used a digital map to make the terrain. All the hill, contours, woods, buildings, roads and fences were as they were in the real battle. It was relistic as could be. I can't remember the battle but I was playing the Corn Feds and got whipped. |

Excellent. We keep a stack of the old fiberglass fast food serving trays around for moving entire armies. They work great. |

Normandy Invasion – Check out my web page at:
lukeavondaleshipyards.net I build and sell Amphibious Assault ships and landing craft in several scales ranging from 1:36 and down to 1:192.
Start your game at sea and really land your tanks, troops aand vehicles as you assault the beach. A review of some of my models (LCT Mk V & LCM 3) is in the April 2013 on line issue of WARGAMES ILLIUSTRATED. Would love to see a realistic beach assault and landing. |
