Regelbau 669 (La Marefontaine Batterie) - Artillery Casement

Regelbau R669 - La Marefontaine Batterie - Artillery Gun Casement - STL

Located 2 ½ km inland from Gold Beach, La Marefontaine Batterie named Widerstandsnest 32 (Wn32) by the Germans had four concrete casemates housing 100-millimetre Czechoslovakian howitzers with a range of 9 km.

Despite being bombed on the morning of D-Day and then heavily bombarded by the British cruiser HMS Belfast the battery was still active on D-Day.

The battery did not have a direct view of the coast so relied on a telephone link with a fire command post to direct fire onto the beaches.

The garrison surrendered to the 7 Green Howards who were supported by 2 Crocodiles from 13 Troop of the 141st RAC (Royal Armoured Corps),the tanks were not required to use flame as the garrison surrendered after 2 rounds of 75mm and some BESA fire.

This STL file is designed for FDM Printers and print with a 0.6mm nozzle at 0.3mm layer height. 

Supports are not needed for this model. At larger scales these bunkers may become larger than more common build-plate sizes, you may need to cut them into sections for your machine. Please check the size below. 

The printed model measures approx.:

260mm x  280mm x  94mm  @ 28mm Scale
203mm x  219mm x  73mm  @ 1/64 Scale (Gaslands/Hotwheels)
180mm x  194mm x  65mm  @ 20mm (1/72) Scale
171mm x  184mm x  62mm  @ 1/76 (00 Railway) Scale
150mm x  161mm x  54mm  @ 1/87 (HO Railway) Scale
130mm x  140mm x  47mm  @ 15mm (1/100) Scale

We have a handy calculator for resizing files for 3D printing over at scale-converters

It is designed for 28mm table top games set in WW2 such as:

Bolt Action, Chain of Command and Konflikt ’47. It can also be used in games such as Judge Dredd, Necromunda and Fallout Wasteland.

Now rescaled to for Flames of War, epic and 00 railways by popular demand.
