Got some nice new Yank kit to try out, my Battlefield Pick Up k98 and the Garand. Batteries charged but zero gas so no idea what the k98 is firing at!

Good - see the chaps, playing silly buggers all day!
Bad - got to do conference calls at 10:00 and 13:00!

Hey if you all wore US kit who would make the Tea ?

I guess we are a little biased as we mainly play US most of the time, though few of us on the German side for this and the August game

getting close now batteries charged mostly packed , just need to write the game ;)

oh and need to find some lunch :good:
