Calne Wargames Club The making and playing the D day game at R.E.M.E. Museum Lyneham 8th & 9h June 2024 By Calne wargames club

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
Beach boards out side drying off with trenchs on
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 .

  1. Re barbed wire. Get some metal nails/tacks about 15mm to 20mm long. Cut off the pointy bit with basic wire cutters. Glue big end down onto a firm (wood is what I use) base with epoxy resin. When dry wrap round fuse wire in desired pattern. Then glue sand onto base using PVA glue. When dry paint. Bullet proof. Hope this helps.
