...was very surprised when you were content to take out the first two men of the column instead of waiting and slaughtering 30 or so! Pish, I gave you the chance for some carnage
Have already started the recriminations/courts martial in the Doughboys Training Day thread lol.

lets just say annes our grenedier from now on 
fan. i stripped down wwhat i could but how do i get the actual bolt out from the back metal casing.
Right guys I had an awesome time.
The beach/dune battle was great and very intense . The Axis dug in hard on those set of dunes well, and the US found it hard to displace us. It was well organised defensive. with some SS waiting in the back. I was a part of that set with Chommers in charge. We were deployed when the US least expected us to appear lol. Worked well as the left hand flank was held by us. On my first suicide run down the left I watched in amusement at a US ranger donging bb's then did a dolphin dive only to be sniped by one of the SS snipers 
he let a girly yelp out hehe. My fav had to be Chommers sending me down the left to a un-suspecting US Ranger climbing the forward dune... and came up aside them and opened fire and killed quite a few.
The defence of the 88's was awesome as Col and I got to man one of them and fire 11 shells. I didnt get to fight but I fully enjoyed loading the 88 and watching the blast. Guy managed to get us a ammo tin with 2 in and even though the one we tried last was a dud, I have to applaud his mad dash to get it 
The Sunday was awesome with the lead patol engaging in combat first with the tower.... only for it to fall after around 5 mins I think. it's very intense being a part of the first 3 up front and not knowing when to expect first contact. I think I managed to capture quite a few US guys that morning. The rest of the morning, attacking the fort etc was ace and even got given the special task of triny to silence the 88 which had been turned of us in fort ....but sadly I only managed to get with in 60 yards of it before encountering the Vickers gun then being pow'd. Then tried a second trek to only get half the distance before encountering two Brits then sadly end ex was called.
I do have battle scar ripped my 44 pattern trouses on the barb wire. broke my kar98 sight lol.
But overall a amazing experience and I will definately be there in April for D-day +2
Thanks

p.s I'll post up my pics later

(a warning to some, next time I'll bring a pair of scissors to tidy up a few haircuts that are way beyond regulation length!)
Sadly I wasn't at D-Day, but get within scissor range of my flowing locks and it'll turn into a live firing excercise. 
Kermit keeps threatening to bring his clippers along!
The thing is that people like Evo and myself at least try to stuff our hair up in the headwear, whereas some of the bozos there looked like rejects from Metallica (long hair days) who had just plonked their helmet on top. 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I wasn't there but theres no trying about it, its a load easier tucking your hair up under your hat with the added bonus it doesn't get caked in cack ... I'm female though so doesn't matter what I do really the core of me will always be wrong 
well not wrong but I'll never be a man ......
As evo said best way to do it is a plait, then scrape it on top of your noggin and pin it down, can still buy authentic style hairslides if your that bothered about it
Yes, for authenticity's sake I always keep my hair tucked up out of sight under my crusher or helmet.

That's because you don't want anyone to see it's all grey!

Grey? The bottle says 'Arctic Fox'.

Thank you for your empathy, Steve.

Ah both Steve and I have doen our service time in the ranks of incredibly long hair...
I had long hair for about seven years, dreads/braids to about two.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Yep, had hair down to my arse in my teenage years....when it was fashionable....
...when it was fashionable....
Yeah but Steve iirc you did look like you'd just escaped from deep purple...
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Ah you'll note he didn't say he was fashionable though 
And whats this about your hair CW ........
Just buy proper blooming hair bobbles, or get your wife to get you some, I don't see where the shame is if you've got long hair in not at least looking after it. I mean if you're going to look like a big girls blouse, may as well go the whole hog
Note I am just kidding, but elastic bands from the man that takes PINK face cream to events 
just a lil funny

Schweinen!! 
I'm only doing it to rebel against my mother....
Helga, I don't use elastic bands - I use little black thingies from Claire's Hair Accessories!
And don't diss my face cream!
