Gaming - D-Day Sword beach ready for gaming

 It’s been a long lock down , and even longer since we did a big club game . To kick off some normality we have a 15mm WW2 D Day game set up for tomorrow. It’s based on part of Sword beach , Queen sector and inland towards the Hillman position and Colville then with some gamers license across to Pegasus bridge. The table is 17.5 feet long by 6 wide. 

 

 

Hold until relieved!

Martin hopes to recreate the invasion with the grandads commando unit and get to Pegasus

 .. 

It will be a good day out . 

Musings - A visit to the the Royal Welsh Regimental Museum - Brecon

Out holiday property is not far from the Welsh home of the British Army in Brecon. It contains the regimental museum of The Royal Welsh , the successor to a number of historic Welsh regiments . 

It’s a pretty good classic regimental museum with various displays with of course the added attraction of Rorkes Drift. 

 

A very fine diorama of the fight at Rorkes Drift - currently resisting temptation on another project 

 

The standard that flew there during the battle  is on display .

   

Some fine replica and historical uniforms on display 

 

Along with a great medal collection and arsenal room

Well worth a visit
