Please include the necessary assets to enable construction of the Mulberry Harbours so famously established by the Allies for the Normandy Invasion and such a visually important landmark for replicating the era:

Great info.

There was another thread calling for them too the other day. They have to be included, they were essential. As someone else mentioned, they weren’t little either. There’s a part of one off the coast at Greatstone and that bit’s big enough. Still an amazing idea.

Cheers for the great technical layouts - very helpful 👍

ak47freak has now released his mod of the Mulberrys in the User Files section: Mulberry Harbor Assets

See there are 2 threads on the topic, both with good info & pics - maybe admin can merge topics?
