StoneAge Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Fighting for the Northern Beach Exits The task of securing the two northern beach exits was assigned to the 502d Parachute Infantry, with the 377th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. The 502d was to drop immediately to the west of Exits 3 and 4 in Drop Zone A. The 2d Battalion was to capture and destroy the coastal battery at St. Martin-de-Varreville as quickly as possible. The 3d Battalion was to support this operation, if necessary, and then secure Exits 3 and 4 so that the 4th Division could come up the causeways at H Hour. Is there anybody currently mapping any of this area. I am thinking of doing a multiplayer campaign of the 502 airbourne landing with a few twists added in. ie GM style (extra troops, failed utah landing, agressive germans etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneAge Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Started with a smaller battle. I have built the part in green and will be expanding it out to the full yellow area or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Man, the street view on Google really gives you a good idea of the surrounding countryside. It looks like the pictures are sharper than in the U.S. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
