Battle of Carentan (WW2) in Rye

Hi All,
Here are some photos from last Friday’s WWII game at the Rye Free Reading Room.
We played a small part of the Battle of Carentan, with US Airborne troops fighting the Germans.  You might notice a German half track down below with an American Bazooka pointed right at it.  I told the girl that all the Germans already jumped out and had run into the buildings.  She wanted to blow up the truck anyway since … “I really like those smoke markers!”.  Thinking about it, they probably would have blown up the half track anyway.
Rye continues to be one of my favorite stops, since we always have a lot of kids who just come up and watch, play a few turns with their friends, and listen to the historical summary.
Hope all is well with everyone !
