British forces

OK,
What weapons are we all planning on taking/using. We can organise section roles then.
I will have No.4 for definite and 1928 Thompson if parts from AZR have arrived.

I'll have all my usual selection... but the Sten MkV and No4 will be my more likely primaries.

1928 thompsons are nice, but probably weren't used by the brits in the battle we're doing... but then they'd be more appropriate than an M1A1... lol

Go with whatever you like

oh the yanks seem to think they have some sort of major fighting force... meh they look like a load of over-the-hill, unfit, old blokes to me... oh hang on, that's us!

I don't have a great deal of choice so it will be the 1928 (fingers crossed) or M1A1 if we have been let down!

well no doubt you'll be an officer and they're always weird anyway...

mp40 with tommy gun as back up. ( i might need to borrow a couple of mp40 mags if i cant get hold of 2 more by december)

I'll be Commander of Allied forces (North) but haven't yet decided whether to actually play as Monty or do it as the usual Major...

I'll have plenty of MP40 mags with me Nige.

thanks dave, i have 5, but 7 would be better

I have a ton as well Nige... you can borrow them if I'm not using them...

thanks lads. slightly off topic, just chatting with the wife about my pic in AI mag, she says i can just about get away with being a late twenties early thirties yank, but in my brit airborne kit i need a tash......... so i will be sporting one for bulge2.

Isn't it tashes only for Corporals and above?

not sure...... i think they were allowed but only 2 per section on a rota

Congratulations on your Promotion, Corporal Cheetham!

why bother,,,,, i will only be reduced to the ranks for insubordination besides, at 40 years old i would be at least CSM or in the home guard

just spoke to an ex gunner who served in ww2 . apparently if you enlisted ( as he did) and had a tash, you could keep it. if you were called up for conscription and had a tash it went. but i bet that was on a regimental/divisional think, not set in stone.

interesting... not heard that one before

my dad had a ronald coleman pencil tash for a while ( got 2 pics of him with it) and he was only a sapper then, only made rank at the very end of the war.

just goes to show... (well I dunno what it goes to show... )

i got to be honest, i lose the originallity fight as a private soldier at my age anyway,,,, good job its only airsoft and a bit of fun, its not like its hollywood , ( who is we all know goes that extra mile for truth and originallity)
