Progress Report:
The Playing Board:
The boards: The harbour of Ouistreham and the beaches at Luc-sur-Mer and Hermanville -sur-Mer have been created and painted, the board depicting harbour, lock and canal, rocky and sandy shores, deep and shallow water, the inter-tidal zone and the sea wall; as well as the villages and grassy hinterland.
Tank traps and concrete bunkers, hedgehogs and dragons teeth - all ready to roll
Buildings: The concrete blocks for much of the harbour and German shore battery are made and painted. The buildings for most villages and the harbour installations are ready, or in the post.
I still need to build the observation bunker at Riva Bella.
The Pegasus Bridge is under construction, and the canal bridge is ready.
Vehicles and planes
I have built two DUKWs and a Higgins Boat, as well as an LCT. Probably need another one of each at least. An RAF launch is half constructed.
The British armoured squadrons are ready to roll, as are the soft-skinned vehicles. Still need to attend to Hobart's Funnies- need 2 x ARVEs and Sherman Crabs
As for the German side- "Alles fertig und in ordnung!" (Ready and in order)
