This Day in WWII: D-Day. Sunday -- help us commemorate D-Day
« on: June 05, 2010, 12:45:54 AM »


Join us to commemorate D-Day, which took place on June 6, 1944.  We'll be running it Sunday, June 6, at 3 pm Eastern Time in Special Events II Arena.  All are welcome -- no prior preparation is needed.  Just show up and join the fun.

It was the largest amphibious invasion of all time, with 5000 allied ships and 175,000 troops attacking the Atlantic Wall of Hitler's Fortress Europe.  They landed on the beaches of Normandy, in sectors codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.

It's the day of days -- time to paint on your invasion stripes and go hit those beaches.

Information on the setup is here:

I painted my stripes on, but they ruined my monitor.   :cry

You can expect to find Jagdgeschwader Seventy Seven buzzing around above Normandy.

Don't expect swift painless deaths, though.

Our taters are sort of screwy lately :(

Instead, please bear with us and take those streams of 20mm shells like men.  ;)
