For this we’re very grateful as it’s quite hard to get the little men that make up the backbone of our forces. I’m guessing the Para platoon is less points than a full armoured rifle platoon so switching that out will allow you to upgrade a platoon of Shermans to 76mm. I have seen some/much of their stuff go OOP in the past and have always been annoyed when that happens.

Well, that's because the sprues are pretty loose inside the box, it's easy for them to get knocked about, and as a result, small parts can get damaged, this happened to my set, as some of the infantry gun barrels got slightly bent where they caught other sprues by beaning loose inside the box. That’s 99pts right there and your formation has five core units, backed up by a salvo template, 3 FA9 tanks with TA2 (great for assault) and a reasonable assault infantry unit that hits on 2+ in assault and has a flamer to pin the enemy.

The Hit the Beach mission, no longer features in the list of missions in the V3 book, nor is it featured in either the Earth and Steel book or Turning Tide, which I found a little odd.The more commonly used term D-Day comes from the fact that all operations start at H-Hour on D-Day and planning can be made for events that must happen say 2 Hours before the start at H-2 or 3 Days before at D-3 and subsequent targets say 3 Days after at D+3. Having reached this decision, forces were chosen to theme: Sword Beach, so a Commando force facing a '2nd line' Grenadier force. Hey, I just got my starter box last week and so far I've built a Sherman and mostly finished a panzer.
