On the shores of Normandy rages a fierce battle between the men of the United States Army, and their mortal enemies on the mainland. The fight was a long and brutal one, but in the end the brave Americans were able to punch through. Scottshlad9 recreates the memorable battle with our own military men: the Airborne Elite.

Well, here we are with another highly anticipated 'Scaper of the Week interview. This week's honor goes to none other than NecroBlade. Much like Onacara, NecroBlade's one of those people you either love or hate. And I think GreyOwl said it best last week when GreyOwl picked "NecroBlade because at first he irritated me, and then all of a sudden he no longer did, and now we even agree more often than I'd like to admit.

Each master sub set would have a couple 24 hex pieces, a selection of the other standard terrain, one type of expansion terrain, expansion LOS pieces, and two players worth of order markers. Each set then gets a selection of the unique figures that...
