OK, this is the current order of battle and supercedes any previous incarnations.

Biguk's place is up for grabs so that's subject to change and labelled as 'A.N. Other'. Squad leaders in italics. Where there are no italics, volunteers are needed.

Rapic Reaction/Pathfinder squad will be used to create trouble and undertake any necessary recon. Webby has good knowledge of the area, so will be 'Battalion' S2 as well as squad leader for this section.

If anyone wants to be moved please ask. I've tried to keep you in the groups around how you booked.

CO - Stephen Badham (HeadShot)

Able Squad
Jon Steele (jonsteele) - US Airborne
Rupert Brookes (Rupe) - US Airborne
Jonathan Limebear - US Airborne
Steve Ashworth (SgtAsh) - US Airborne
Phil Edge - US Airborne
Jonathan Knight (juliet kilo) - US Airborne

Baker Squad
Nick Daniells (Airborne55) - US Airborne
John West (taffyjohn) - US Airborne
Barrie Quin (Barrie and Anne) - US Airborne
Anne Quin (Barrie and Anne) - US Airborne
Tug Wilson - US Infantry

Charlie Squad
Dean Armistead (Lipton) - US 82nd Airborne
Alex Birch (Spiers) - US Airborne
Nigel Kerr (Oddball) - US
Doug McCarthy (armourerdoug) - US Airborne Medic
Chris Tarpey (TARPEY) - US Airborne

Dog Squad - Rapid Reaction/Pathfinders
S2 Matt Webb (Webby) - US 82nd Airborne
Iain Kier - US 82nd Airborne
Robert Tansley (lacutos) - US Airborne
James Tansley (meandog) - US Airborne

With the utmost possible respect to Dean (Lipton) is it worth having someone with a little more experience (not a first gamer) leading Charlie squad? And I don't want an argument I'm merely bringing a point up.
Also I was under the impression that Lipton was going to be assistant on the 30.Cal with Webby...
Has that changed now too?
Like I said, don't want argument, happy to take orders from anyone.

EDIT: Also I think its very impressive that we can even have four squads. It looks mint :good:

Lip' was at the training day, and played at the In the Pocket game, I gave him a Bronze Star for his efforts that day!

.30cal will prolly be left in a fixed position, my squads a rapid reaction force, so plenty of running, running +.30cal = webby being ill on monday! lol

I know what it's like mate, I just know that progressively our command structure has become stronger over the last couple of games and was reasonbly well followed at Husky. Wouldn't want to be following a noobs orders...

The squad leaders should be following the orders I give them, so it's just a case of shouting loudly and understanding what I've asked.....preferably without question..... :lol:

I seem to remember following orders without question when I dragged you across a field in Wales then got shot in the arse...in hindsight I probably should've carried you.

More the case buddy, funnily enough, if it had been me that got hit, and HS made it across the field, you wouldnt have been able to drag me anywhere, I'm the buck compton of CiA lol

"You take care of things here sgt, I'll go look for......help" :lol:
But seriously I'll try to do my best. As for the 30 cal when I sore that Webby was heading up dog squad and no mention of the MG on the roster I figured it had been put to one side. so I took the oppatunity for a bit of command fun (hay, it's all about gettin' into charactor right).

No offence taken Spears :good: and if we find that I'm cowering behind a hay stack compleatly devoide of my sences, then you can live up to your name sake and charge onto the field, burstin' through an 88 shell ready to take command. 8)
P.S. Am I right in thinking that baker squad is still in need of a TL? If your interested Spears?

Like I said, don't mind taking orders off someone as long as they've got a little bit of a clue, not just a first timer on a power trip, know what I mean.
Also, there's a good chance I'll have my 30.Cal ready for then as well...fingers crossed.

No power trip, just fun.
I've been doin' tactical gaming since I was 11, not quite the same as 10 years in the army I know but I'd like to think I know the basics. One of the reasons I joined CiA was that it offered a new avanue for stratagic play.
Anyway we'll all find out come the event.

Oh and Webby, if your still planing a bulk order of granades? I'll take 4 plus a smoke.
Cheers

If theres going to be little interest the best bet will be to hope that F&O have a suitably large amount and get them from there, I'm sure they will, they usually do.
