I was thinking earlier today, that on the CiA team i'm the only bugger that doesn't do more than one side (though lord knows, I have 9 complete uniforms for that one side alone). David does German, Brit and US. Stephen does US, Dutch Resistance and German (and is more than welcome to borrow Jerry kit any time he wants!), Guy does German and Ruskie partisan.

So, to be a bit more fair about things, It's about time I started putting together an Allied impression - Not going to do Brit or Commonwealth though, as i'd probably end up killing either Gadge or Rich. So, that pretty much leaves the US. Question is - Airborne, leg infantry, Rangers?

What do you guys think would be most useful?

Go for Airbone. It would be good to have us looking similar, plus there are more gadgets to buy.

By the way, you are more than welcome to borrow my US kit as I have two sets, not sure what waist you are though. My stuff is 34".

* Looks for sheep emoticon *

LOL. The reason why I went for 94th Inf was that no one else would even think of it (not being into 'groups' back then).

Splitter!!!

You have to admit, it does look good when everyone looks the same. The PBI and SS guys do look very good.

Translates as "if I ever get back to a 34" waist hahahahahahahaha

Go airborne IMHO , the kit looks better .

As a sideline if I get a new job that pays I might look to get some Brit gear again , thats a way off though .
