Exellant news regarding game on. I have MG's if the Germans need them but I would not want to spend all day firing one myself as for me bolt action rifles are a big part of the fun, but you are welcome to use them Craig.
Also the other question is do I spurn my usuall German comrades for the chance to go as The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders? a regiment with close ties to my city of birth, not only can I wear a Tam O'Shanter and perhaps a Glengarry for the social but I get to have the battle cry of "Greeeen Ar-my"
Of course will need to rebook by dog sitter before booking on the game
Floppy hats get 'em every time
An MG would be great. They are best used with a rotating I think anyway, unless someone wants to man the gun all day, that is cool too.

Mr England! How could you even think it?

I know but its a regiment I always fancied doing, and I get to look more of a geek than I normally do, we will see

Good plan
Ooh what indeed. Polish, Canadian or American. At the moment I'm thinking Polish but am sorely tempted by the new Garand so may be American.
I have a small skewer hidden in the collar of my jumping jacket, and a razorblade in my gaiter, as well as my knife.
Well I would let you know you can use a Garand as Polish without a problem, but ¬I am sure you know that, and I also know you like 'right guns', so I leave it to your conscious .

Yes goddamn my brain. The main problem is I have this irrational feeling, as I do every time I'm considering purchasing or building a weapon, that this next gun may prove to be the one that turns me into a crack shot.
It never does and as any weapon is therefore only a prop in my hands my head says it might as well be the correct one.
Today I am swaying towards Polish, if only to use my black beret and epaulette again.

Indeed
By the way you are all not alone in indecision... I have to choose too
Of course Polish is interesting, but I have always wanted a chance to Canadian it. then again French are great for being French, and Colonel Bellefluer is fun to let loose from the nut-job bag.
Hmm, now you've got me thinking. Were any of the Canadian units French-Canadian?
Canadian but with a comedy accent.

I know in my head they damned well were! (the Canadian officer on Call of Duty always amused me
)
Also a bit torn for this one, I'd like to use my Lee Enfield (the K98 having been out already this year) but the prospect of dressing up as a dusty, tired and harrassed Landser is very appealing as is the prospect of having to 'escape'.
I think the escaping aspect means I'll probably go as German for this one as that is what we were set to do at Hut 19, but will have a think.

Here's a pic of Canadian 4th Armoured guys on a captured German car, with a FFI soldier marching behind them.

Is the yank on the left of the second picture wearing a browning holster?
looks like it - after my 23 second search for what a browning holster is...
It doesn't look like my Browning holster, but then again I have a proper British one made out of webbing

Looks like that? http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/equipment ... ter-20821/
I dunno, guns and stuff.
It looks like a German one to me.
