Me and Wild Bill have already done scenarios on Omaha and Juno beaches and we are starting work on Utah beach next. After Utah beach we plan to doing sword and gold beaches but we are finding it hard to get any good maps on them two beaches so if you now of any good web pages on the two above beaches or if you have any good maps or pictures that you could send us it would be a great hilp in getting scenarios of the two above beaches done. My Email is maga_shadow@hotmail.com

I don't have any pictures or maps but am quite certain that Juno beach was heavily populated along the coast, but once you got past the villages there was wide open terrain with alot of high grass. Not the hedgerow country we associate with Normandy. That is from D-Day by Ambrose.

I might be able to help out here...I'm going to my local Barnes and Noble bookstore tomorrow. They used to carry a book and maps published by some folks in the UK on the Normandy beaches from what I remember seeing they were pretty good. It's actually a visitors guide to the D-Day beaches area. I'll let you know. Regards, Joe Osborne

Look for the Juno Beach scenario early next week. I'm waiting for some final testing results and the final tweaking will be done. Makes a fine 2nd volume to the D-Day series. Thanks Drake, for these great maps. WB ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games
