He's talking about bringing some sort of mechanized thingy to the game and having 'no problem pushing through the growth between the trunks'.
Anyone else think this is a H&S nightmare waiting to happen?
Has anyone discussed this with him?

Yes, he asked way back - I said I had no knowledge of whether the site would be accessible (hadn't been to the site then) so he could proceed at his own risk.
No German I have spoken to has been impressed with what he has made but it is very 'Porta'.
Having been to the site twice now I can say that site access will be very difficult and I can't see any practical way of using it except maybe on the German initial assault, as from the German second base it is down a steep incline into swamp!
So, I don't think there will be any H&S issues (it is very slow) and it will be abandoned in the first fifteen minutes. If Guy hasn't told him to stop fecking about sooner! Or I haven't sent a team in to blow it to smithereens!
Hmm, Guy dashed Porta's hopes! Let him use it for the initial assault - it will be of no use to the Germans for the rest of the day and in any case the rest of the site will be inaccessable to him.
Pete_59 is coming as SAS. I'll task him and one other with a special mission to take the tank out (drop a smoke in it). If they can't do it I'll turn the whole of the Brits onto the job!
For the record, all on Oct 7th:
A: any word on the panzer yet CW???
CW: Sort of! We are OK about you building and bringing it but two major questions arise:
1) Is the playing area we choose suitable terrain
2) If terrian is OK can it be integrated in the game in any meaningful way
Guy and me will be having a site meeting and recce weekend after next, so can't really give a definative answer until then. If you want to go ahead anyway, that's cool - I'm pretty sure it can be used somewhere and it's not like you want to sit in the whole day (I would have thought!).
A: sorry to pester, CW
its just that im "aquiring" some steel and aluluminum through work, and im stockpiling metal to build it.
i dont plan on sitting in it all day..............
CW: Understood Anthony! Panzers were a major part of BotB so it will be fun to get some armour into the game.
(I'm betting Oddball will crap in it though 
)
i wont know extent of damage till i get on site tommorrow morning, but ive told the other guy in the shop to get it operational for the 14th
just my luck, i spend 200 quid sorting out some basic tracks for a game, and at the final hurdle ,some knuckle dragging ape fucks it all up.
My prayers worked! Saved me having to blow it up.
Heh, armour was strafed on the rail transporter, never got to the front!
Potential game distraction solved.
He did call me this week and ask if it were ok ,I gave him a nod but explained the site was unsuitable. He reckons he's recce'd it and thought he'd be able to use it ..anyway prob sorted of it's own accord by the look of it .
Oh dear, he has gone bonkers. Wants to build a gas cannon for next summer. That's a no.
Why can't he just turn up and play like everyone else?
