Scenario
This event is centred and themed around a fictitious invasion of Britain just prior to D.Day 1944 by German forces.

Beachhead 1 - March 23rd 1944. Operation Wolf Cub

The war has slogged on for 5 years, and finally the Allies feel that for Germany, the war is now un-winnable.
On March the 15th the second major assault on Monte Cassino by Allied forces commences. Soon Italy will fall as Africa did.
U.S and Commonwealth forces are massing in England for the long awaited invasion of Fortress Europe, and it looks like the war will be over in a year to 18 months.

At approximately 1am in the early hours of the 23rd British radar stations start to pick up dozens of blips off of the south coast and fighter command immediately scrambles 88 Squadron, flying out of RAF Hartford Bridge in Hampshire, to intercept the suspected incoming Luftwaffe Bomber group.
The Spitfires and Hurricanes spot the enemy group and take offensive action. ME109s start to dog-fight with the RAF fighters over the Isle of Wight but the bombers pass over Portsmouth and the surrounding countryside relatively intact and in formation. They open their bomb-bay doors but instead of bombs falling, dozens of parachutes blossom out in the night sky.
As Home Guard and ARP units start to report this in to Command, further reports come in from the Royal Navy that their radars are picking up numerous small vessels a mile and a half off of the British coast from Brighton to Bournemouth.
The Germans in an all out gamble have trumped the Allies and put into action an audacious plan to invade Great Britain, destroy the massed Allied forces gathered there, capture Churchill and the Royal Family, then force Roosevelt and Stalin to the bargaining table.

German Fallschirmjager units have dropped behind Portsdown Hill and are both attempting to consolidate with the Coastal assault forces and secure the small town of Wickham.
Wehrmacht, SS, and Panzer Grenadier elements have landed on Southsea seafront and are fighting a running battle through the city and dock yard. Some of these forces have pushed as far as Portsdown hill and have joined with Airborne units in mopping up the small pockets of remaining resistance.
At this time no German armour has come ashore despite there being assurances at the highest German levels that it would be on the beach with the first wave of assaulting troops. It is however only a matter of time before the armour gets ashore and a firm beachhead is established.

The first Allied troops to make contact with the invading German forces, were inevitably, Home Guard units. These lightly equipped but dedicated men were overcome by superior forces despite their dogged resistance that, far outweighed in effect, their small numbers. This has however bought vital time.
Pockets of resistance form, mainly around the concrete bunkers and emplacements that litter the coast and inland areas.
By 3am word has reached all of the major Allied staging camps, and each one is a scene of well organised chaos. Men frantically gather their personal equipment as Platoon leaders argue with store-men trying to acquisition twice their allocation of ammunition.
British and U.S troops gather in the countryside at Boarhunt and advance to make contact with the German forces the north side of Portsdown hill. Their main objective, to push the Germans back over the hill and into the sea.
Like the Germans, they are praying their armour will arrive in time to add some much needed weight to their defence and eventual offensive action.

Sounds good :good:
I will have to think about it as £35 is steep :!: as I have the 2 lads aswell as me, and my wallet always takes a bashing (x3) buying kit before an event.

It'll be great to see you guys there.
I am going to have a talk with Steve B about dropping the ticket price. Hes a really great bloke and very amicable.
I am personally not making any money whatsoever from this event so prices are going to be kept to a minimum and the atmosphere and fun to a maximum.
We are hoping to have a couple of deuce and a halfs plus a willys or two courtesy of the Red Ball express too, along with deactivated MG42s and other props throughout the site.

Hi Mark.
It would be great to see you and many thanks for the support. If this event goes well more are definitely in the pipeline. I'd really like the next one to be of a historically accurate engagement so if any of you guys have a particular battle or engagement you'd like made into a workable Airsoft game, please dont hesitate to let me know.

GREAT NEWS. TICKET PRICES ARE NOW £25.

Historically accurate stuff is great, but being a History graduate I do have a penchant for the 'What if' scenarios. hence my glee at Jimbo's Operation Sealion. i think it might be interesting to do something along the lines of britain under nazi occupation - resistance/ aux units etc etc. Brownlow's film is perhaps an excellent starting point for a topic.

As CSW is my usual site I really must do this one especially as I've not done a WW2 airsoft event yet. I've yet to use my Sten in "anger" too.

Can't wait, I've been building up an airborne brit impression for ages and combat south is a site I've played before but I've never been to a proper ww2 day before.
Was wondering who's going axis and who allied, hope the numbers aren't too lopsided, what's the usual mix like?

Sounds good to me, definately up for this one. Waffen SS or Brit Airborne, happy to play on whatever side needs topping up.
