[Sticky] Battle for Caen - 'Streets of Fire' Sennybridge Fibua

Gunman · 2009-11-04T16:57:00Z

Calling all men to the front line, D-Day - 'Battle for Caen' Battle weekender, Sennybridge Training facility, Wales. 27-28 March 2010 ONLY Â£85 for the whole weekend pre-book Â£95 on the gate. Welcome to D-Day events and Gunman Airsoftâ€™s WWII Battle weekend. August 1944 The outskirts of the Caen. After the defeated troops of hill 112 finally returned to their camps and so many lives lost, morale is not high in the British Second Army and the hill has remained operational and in German hands. After a series of failed attempts to crack the German sprit a huge bombardment of British artillery, navel guns and aerial bombing has pushed the German troops from the city centre to the north and west of the Caen. However this has left its roads blocked by ruble and craters which mean the infantry will not be getting support from their heavy and medium tanks. The town centre has become a series of infantry based close quarters battle to the last. Whoâ€™s flag will fly over whatâ€™s left of Caenâ€™s government centre by the Sunday and will the Allies be able to look at their foothold in Normandy as anything other than fractured. Come and join the D-Day team and enjoy the Roller Coaster that is â€˜THE BATTLE OF CAENâ€™ For more information on any D-Day events please email: enquiries@gunmanairsoft.co.uk or call our office on 01223 871207 or visit our websitepaypal is now sorted to the new Filmsim account: sales@filmsim.co.uk or cheques payable to: Filmsim Ltd, 20 Norfolk Terrace Cambridge CB1 2NG booking form will be attached as soon as the site is confirmed Only 120 places, 55 Axis and 65 Allies.

Josh, a question for you.

Last time I was at Sennybridge, a few years ago with Stirling Services, we had to park our cars at Crickhowell and get a coach up to the site.

Is something like this going to be the case again or will we be able to drive our cars all the way up there this time?

Thats incredibly decent of them and i'm quite impressed... however I reckon you mean 'werewolves' not 'wolverines'... unless you want PBI to come as 80s Russian Spetsnaz

The nazi resistance movement was 'werewolf''/'werwolf' formed in March 45.

The pro nazi civilian movement (and the opposite of the resistance) at the time of Caen and in France would have been the 'Milice'

Hahah nice one CW, I'd mentally erased that film from my memory it was so bad. :giggle: :good:

The opening bit was amazing and if they'd have made the film about wolverine being some 'universal soldier' in the civil war/wwi/ww2/ vietnam etc tit woudl have been tons better.

All the same, good on Dog Co for deciding to go as French for the Caen battle!
