D-Day Scenario: Gold Beach prep part 2

 Work continues on the 12*4 boards for D-Day anniversary. Shaping up for a great game. Have yet to work out the ins and outs for the campaign but at least we've a table to play on

I had originally planned to paint in acrylics but there was an offer on poster paint. looking back i wish i'd paid the extra for acrylics. the coverage wasn't great and i had to keep applying more layers which then often lifted paint below if not cmopletely dry. All in all though, i'm quite pleased with the end result. I think i'll apply varnish and call it a day

D-Day Gold Beach: Prep Part one

 Being an absolute glutton for punishment I'm trying to whip up a very cheap and nasty twelve by four table for putting on a D-Day game in the club.

So far the plan is to use the Gold Beach scenario from Battleground Europe and its updates in the D-Day overlord book. There are going to be three players a side so I needed a fair few bunkers and Landing Crafts printed. So far I've got the tables built, hardboard and wooden supports underneath, primed ready for painting and all the landing crafts and bunkers printed. I've still to paint the various sections of the board, 12 inches of deep water, 12 inches of shallow water, 12 inches of beach and then finally 12 inches of coastline.

I'm also planning to have minefields made and areas of cover with Czech hedgehogs
