Class Project – D-Day Display
By Tom “Chairborne” Mullane

Thanks to John Spiess, and the generous folks over at (who are hosting Historicon in only a few short weeks), a small group of students were able to dip their toes into war gaming this past year. Back in September, It was suggested by John and by fellow NDNG writer Tom Burgess, that HMGS might see fit to give these kids some money to start a club here at the high school I teach in.
With the 500 dollars we received, coupled with Brian Sullivan over at Battlefront, The students ordered a full set of paints, all the Midwar books, and enough terrain to get them started. Brian also threw in some hills and buildings for free with our order. But as the year drew to a close, and with it the 75th anniversary of DDay, I asked if students would be interested in a different extracurricular project. What you will see here are the results of their efforts.
