as usual a big shout out to Josh and his team for ANOTHER top notch event! Excellent site (if 310 mile away) and the weather was good too! The standard of play was extremely high, and as is the norm seemingly, the kit all spot on! I was places with "Pegasus" section and from landing early saturday, it didn't take us long to bump jerry who promptly tried to surround us! The section found its feet quickly, deployed all round defence and extracted ourselves most skillfully, killing several hun on the way. This set the tone, and fierce fighting round the high ground, mortar pits and fuel dump bogged us down. However, good planning and exempary fighting saw the Allies over run all but 1 of our objectives! This was the 2nd AA gun which was defended on the high ground, laced with trenches, pits and ideal defensive cover! Tired and disorganised attacks were dealt with swiftly by Jerry, and so the 1st day ended. Day 2 saw a tremendous attack put in by all the Allies, surrounding and whittling the defenders away! Pegasus section, I'm proud to say led a heroic charge, up hill, through the deployed smoke screen and to eventual victory, cresting the lip of the enemy pit and showing the hun no mercy, spraying Sten and Thompson fire right into them! The Allied timing was excellent as all sections met at the top! A quick regroup and we were of to the dz's to pick up ammo, food and medical supplies. Jerry was organised however, and harrassed and kept our heads down for long periods! Once the zones were cleared a plan to get them to where they were needed was hatched and implemented. Strong Nazi attacks caused havock and confussion but eventually the supplies got through! Most enjoyable! Mention to the Pegasus section, pleasure meeting and fighting with you. You put it in guys! To Dog Co, your hospitality was exemplary once again, and to everyone else who all made it a great weekend battle! Spot on!

Excellent weekend
Not so good part was mistaking that orange smoke grenade for a cannister drop and pulling back to our reserve position - where we sat all alone for about an hour....

Yeah, sorry about that I assumed it was the canister drop smoke - I mentioned it to Josh before I had to leave on Saturday & he looked a bit bemused...however top marks for the squad following orders as required
