Im having a little trouble trying to work out what I could wear in this role. Im guessing 40s style jacket, tanktop etc. but in my size its always an interesting problem. Anyone got any ideas?
My current thought it to raid the local charity shops in the vague hope that something might fit me.
Also (I cant remember if this was covered before) do we have to provide the orange armbands? I figure thats a yes.
Cheers

I'd recommend charity shops - they usually have loads of old-fashioned stuff that could pass for 40s clothing!
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Cords are good, or even some sort of denim working trousers. a donkey jack without any plastic patches would be cheap , or just a chunky nuetral coloured jumper. Browne and grey popular for the period !
That's the nice thing with being a civvie, there no set uniform , the look is entirely open .
heh theres open and theres not looking like 70s pimp

Come in a bikini if you like Diggah !
Fine by me but I think people costantly throwing up may put a damper on the game

Well it might be a bit parky in April in a bikini
On a related note i'm *definatley* doing a game in battledress and kilt one day... thats will be fearsome trust me.
Ilove my kilt, any reason to wear it...

For the rest of us please make it a still day. Any breeze could be disturbing
Back on topic now I know the names of what to look for I've found a nice Pea coat in my size on ebay. Its a start

Why not try a blue over all, the cheep type, with a belt over the waist to hide the elastic and an orange armband and headdress of your choice or an old cord suit again with an orange armband
Good point - blue boiler suit and a big belt - you can be the local car mechanic then

Or any electrical or mechanical job....

.........at a time when all private cars had been commandered by the Germans ! Plombier puet-etre ?
If we have commandered all the private cars we will have a desparate need for civvy mechanics. We need to keep the local economy going - we are occupying a country not destroying it!
You are saying some Dutch grease monkey is better than the Whermatch's finest Panzer Servicing Engineers ? shame !
Zey vill be tasked to proper duties keeping our tanks and trucks in 'tip-top' (as ze Britishers say) condition and vill haf no time fur sie motor cars!
Can anyone tell me what the temperature is like up there at the moment? I've been living here in Uganda for a year so even a warm day is likely to leave me shivering. Currently planning on old-man jumper over shirt and tie on top of brown slacks. I'll likely bring one of my sturdier pipes along to smoke, and some old fashioned glasses if I can find them. Canvas satchel for my 'tools' (I'm planning to be a cobbler).
If you're used to Ugandan temperatures I'll say one thing....
Pack for this game, as if you're going to the bloody Arctic!
