Awesome pics, awesome day.

hats off to JOsh, CiA, al lthe players, AI mag and (grudgingly) the council for not being *total* bar stewards and actuially letting it happen.

No kudos to the effing stupid dog wlakers and pony trekkers who ignored marshalls trying to keep them safe!

And i cant beleive how efective my helmet cam was, that dunkelgelb overspray with bread bag straps and beach grass made it invisible!

Had some awesom games but stalking and anihilatinga whole squad (yep 10 of em) of tanks on our own (only 2 survived after being mediced and got us and a tense twilight patrol with neil blume stand out!

crap typing cos im shattered!

Dude, you had a cam on your head too? I really did not see it. Good concealing indeed!

highlights:
holding the hill down on the beach
dusk patrol with gadge that was excellent, several bang kills in the evening game,
finding gunbag
sitting round the fire chatting

lowlights
broken guns before i left
broken gun on the day
broken mags
not being able to find our regen on the first beach game
long walk to the beach
long walk from the beach
being outnumbered 2 to one most of the time
leaving my gunbag behind at the 2nd german CP
long walk to the beach on sunday
long walk from the beach
broken gun
finishing an hour early thus not being able to play at all on sunday due to trying to sort out my gun

overall i felt there was too much start - stopping 65 quid for about 4 hours total airsofting seems a lot of dosh. I loved the cannons and ll the pyros - I think it would have been great to have everybodys camp together in te evening there was a toilet block i think that the camps should both have been set up in the same place to encourage socialising.

On a positive note I appreciate all the effort the guys went to the gunman crew were very helpful & friendly It was good yet again to get to know some of the guys a bit better, also to find out that gadge and i have more in common than I ever thought!
anyhow my ha'pennys worth ... hope its not too controversial

Yeah it was really good to have some proper talking time and get to know you as a friend rather than a teammate or opposition Neil, same goes for a lot of the guys on this weekend, some really good socialising as well as skirmishing

(and some bloody awful jokes told!)

Transport was there for he *massive* woodland area but the salt flats and dunes were innacesable to anything less than tracked vehicles!

(not true as they just managed to ford the river using a tractor to get the landing craft parts down there for assembly)

Anyway a little tab added to the feel of being a 40s squaddie!

I agree, the walk added to the feel of the event, in fact our long line trudging along looked just like the real pictures of the americans making their way off Omaha.

Plus it kind of built up the tension as we got closer to the beach and our certain death.
