The making and playing the D Day game at R.E.M.E. Museum Lyneham 8th and 9h June 2024 Club members came up with the Idea last year of a D Day game for the 80th anniversary . As a club we have not done a demo game trust us to do a big one for the first one I volunteered to the trenchers with one proviso that had to be put at the end of the beach you know the sandy bit ok. Now wooden sticks order 1000 from E bay had a few of them from going to coffee shops to staring the coffee but not more than a few.

James set about making you the boards beach and fields

Having done my bit with the trenchers have we got any barbwire to put in front of the trenches . Nope ok ill have a go got a roll of fuse wire some place .No that did work to stiff on the phone to my friend Mike any ideas try grey cotton that works.

While Jame and I are working on the easy bits Richard said he would make up the bunkers . And boy did he all to scale all made from wood .
