BATTLE FOR HANOVER AAR - Part Two

Here are some more photos of the game. I will add some commentary and details when I can but for now enjoy the eye candy!

Mark Fry's superb Dutch EW unit, a fantastic little conversion

Another of Mark Fry's Dutch conversions



Saltzgitter with two scratch built container cranes, didn't quite finish the paint job on the cranes as they are supposed to be red and white. Will finish them off as soon as possible and post pictures

The level crossing, this was the scene of some heavy fighting between Andy Hamilton's US 2AD(FWD) and Mike Ahern's Soviet forces. I believe that control of the level crossing changed hands several times during the game

The ESK canal overlooked by a Schloss

The autobahn, those cones would cause the East Germans all sorts of problems
