Photo Gallery - Battlefield Photo's from 2003

`	An aerial view of our Battlefield. The perimeter measures 450 feet and it is now fenced in. The fence protects our mountains, dirt work, trees, and bridges from the dreaded dirt bikes and occasional dogs.
`	This photo shows the village. Yes, those are white boxes with windows and doors drawn on them. It takes a while to construct all the buildings in the village. Care to help? The trees are the plastic variety that require minimal maintenance. We plan on another 200 trees to help give the effect of France and not North Africa.
`	Another birds eye view showing the many hills, rocks, and mountains that the tanks have to negotiate. Although it is difficult to see them, there are several mountain passes that the armored columns can pass through.......or be ambushed at!
	Here is the back side of the village with the train track and bridge. There are a total of 4 bridges at the site that tanks can negotiate. The canyon you see in the center of the photo is the canal. Remember the movie, "The Longest Day" and the canal/casino episode? Also, notice the hills in the background?
	We have a lonely Tiger I taking on a Sherman and Pershing during a battle utilizing the Battle Units. The remaining tanks are on the other side of the village fighting it out.
	Some of the dioramas waiting their turn on the battlefield. It depends on the specific battle scenario and who is holding the village as to which diorama we use.
	This “Easy Eight” Sherman and Pershing stand guard in front of the damaged house. The area around the statue appears to he heavily fortified. The GI's must be out looking for souvenirs. For more pictures of the Pershing, go to Gallery H.
	Here, we see a new railroad bridge that is still under construction. To show you how big the battlefield it, the bridge is 55" long and 15" wide. Looks small, doesn't it?
	A Pershing defending a bridge. The canyon is too deep and the walls are to too steep for the enemy to try. They won't be entering the town this way.
	The end of the line for the railroad. This new underpass provides a 4th way to attack the village.
	A view of the remaining members still playing after the rest have left for the day. Notice the two bridges and hills?
	The Americans stand watch over an entrance to the village. Notice the troops next to the trees. These are two of the replaceable dioramas we use.
