We must get Ray Mears along to a WWII event.
Ray's a nice bloke but, he's got no killer instinct! 
Now, Lofty Wiseman, there's a REAL outdoorsman!

It should be the second weekend of July

I too should be OK for this - as I run the aforementioned wargames event: http://www.wargamedevelopments.org/cow.htm
CiA are happy to announce "Operation Foxley", to be held over the weekend of 7th/8th July 2012. We will post up more information in due course but, I will let slip the following....
It will be a full 24 hour event, running from noon on the saturday to noon on the sunday.
The SOE operatives will be operating in 2 man teams, expected to operate for the full duration of the event.
The Germans will operate from a fixed base and, be relatively comfortable (at least compared to the SOE!) and, have the use of vehicles.
Expect lots of tension, mistrust and unpredictability!
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Leave will be booked for this event

Ditto, not missing this one!
As long as I don't have to carry another concrete radio I could be up for SOE, lots of pain killers for my hip and better belt order and I should be good.
"Will you stop talking about the war!!"
"What, you started it!"
"We did NOT start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."

SOE operatives will only have to carry what they need to live out in the field for 24 hours, so, the weight of it is down to you! No concrete radios, I promise! SOE will also have multiple options for what uniform/clothing they can wear. I will also be running a training day, as promised, in the run up to the event.

the weekend of 7th/8th July 2012
Oh bugger, I can't make that one, have another event already booked and paid for.
Well, one year I'll manage to get to the CiA summer game...
Have fun everyone.

Wrong weekend! I'm already committed to attending (and running) another event. Bugger.
Ah well, hope everyone enjoys it!
Ok the posts all saying you can't come are useful, but honestly not needed .
SO A lot of Germans ....what's in it for them ? Well it's early days yet , but as well as guarding the Fuhrer, and watching the SOE lumber about there are thoughts to introduce a number of extra dimensions to keep us on our guard. Maybe it's not only the SOE who want Hitler dead ....who can you trust ? That bloke walking into camp could be a loyal German , and SOE in German kit or a German who's thinking is more along Count v Staffenburghs views. Passes might count for something , or if you are charged with guarding the Fuhrer who do you allow near him . This will be a thinking as much as shooting game , not just sat around drinking coffee or trekking through woods .
Ok the posts all saying you can't come are useful, but honestly not needed .
no , not needed , but its nice to know that people support what your doing,
even if real life , or other things prevent them from attending.

I take it the SOE numbers will be capped!? Also, will the organisers choose your oppo for u? (I'm fussy who I sleep with)! Sounds like it's going to be tops! Will the training day be ran close to the time so we don't forget what we learn? Can't wait!! Hope there's loads of Jerries! Likethe thinking of the whole Valkerie angle!
