Episode 3 - Sword Beach

This episode focus' on the third Scenario from the Memoir '44 base game, called Sword Beach.

We take a look at some of the history releated to the allied landings at Sword Beach with material being kindly loaned to the podcast by The D-Day Museum, Portsmouth.

Jack Guritza has come up trumps once again with a splendid dramatisation of game based on Sword Beach.

We've got the usual period-audio inserts, this day in 1944 and an overview of the Sword Beach scenario and my insights into how to play it.

As a bonus for this episode I also review a book I recently finished called "Dunkirk Fight to the Last Man". Here's a Memoir '44 scenario I threw together when inspired by reading this book.
