CASTLE HILL - Monte Cassino

I've been working on this for a while, but only just managed to settle to it and tackle the rubble and rocks graphics which inevitably dominate. The exact positioning of the castle is still in question - depending how I solve the 'in the castle' or 'on the battlements' issue.

Though often not mentioned, small bushes covered the slopes, but were blasted and burned away. I am adding 'scrub' as a way to break up the swathes of open ground and because it is a big feature of Cassino today, and must have been present in 1944 albeit perhaps less prevalent. I've drawn a reduced size rock graphic to show the stony ground that must have been a hazard to the troops footing and added to the HE effects.
