British Sword beach W.I.P.

A round up of my Sword Beach British W.I.P.

The Airborne element of the left Flank of Sword Beach 6th Airborne Division. Here are 2 Bns from the Division. Still need to do Major Howard's Ox and Bucks Coy. Behind in bags are jeeps and guns for the Airlanding Bde that landed on the evening of 6th June and Halted 21st Panzer Divisions counter attack. This will be expanded into at least a full Bn.

4 Assault Bns each with 2 cosy forward supported from behind by DD tanks and elements of 79th Division R.E.

                       The follow on 2 Bns of Infantry for either 1st Guards or 7th Armd Divisions.

The Guild Build

This year in a fit of Madness I signed myself up to the guilds yearly build.
Not doing things by half a decided to do the D-Day landings on Sword beach.
And the days following it. I decided to stick with 10 mm but decided to do
Pegasus Bridge, the D-Day landings themselves and the 21st Pzr Div counter attack!
Not many figures I hear you say lol. I also decided if I was doing Pegasus I would also need Lord Lovat and Pipe Major Bill  Millen with their Commando Escort and elements of 6 Para.
So enough of my waffle here's some pictures

The Attackers British Infantry the three bases in front are engineers and the 2 Bns to the Side are the start of 6th Airborne. The tanks to the side are the start of Hobarts Funnies.

The Start of the German defenders still lots more to go. 4 Bn's worth to defend all of Sword Beach and inland (After checking these more thouroughly only ended up with 20 bases a few Falschirmjaeger and Panzerfaust bases had sneaked in. Oh well more to order.

A few of the stash still to add, there's a full Pzr IV Bn in here regards
