First of all, thanks to all the people who came from afar to support the training day! Personally I had a fantastic time, getting muddy and rolling around like a kid!
Thanks also to Guy, Chommers and Steve for grafting some tactics into us grunts, and then to Stubble for the manouvers before lunch and in the afternoon!
Every1's kit was awesome too, good to see a good turnout! 
Can't wait for the next 1!
Happy Birthday again Kav, hope you enjoyed it!

Happy Birthday again Kav, hope you enjoyed it!
Cheers mate, I did thanks to all my friends, old and new, who frequent this forum. 
Personally, I had a great time. Steve, Guy and Dave did a fine job with very little to work with, especially as a few of us (not least me) were a bit rough this morning! 
Thanks again to Stubblehopper, who gave us some very useful tactics which I hope we can execute successfully against him at a future game. 
It was also great to see the German contingent, who were lovely guys and good drinking buddies to boot! All in all, well worth the effort of getting down here. I'm still 'here', sitting in a dingy internet cafe in Sheffield typing this, after a few beers in a well dodgy pub called 'The Big Gun'. I had to go in there, having played with Pete's latest acquisition today...
Oh, and get well soon Anne. Can't take her ale...
he he he poor anne , hope you get better soon
Hey guys. Glad you had a good day, as thing didn't go quite to plan in the morning and there were a few absentees, Guy, Dave and I cobbled some airsoft tacticals together. Sorry if it was a bit too much to start with with such tender heads and bellies.
Glad we managed to show the numourous Krauts a thing or two in the afternoon, including Barrie, Kav and I not being ambushed at all during the ambush! I felt a little left out!
Evening all
phew where to begin. I realise things didnt go quite according to plan but despite that I felt it was a great day. Had a fantastic time. was great meeting up with you all. The evening before was fun as heck as well.
Big thanks to headshot, chomley, and old'un for stepping into the breach and teaching us some excercises throughout the day, and helping generally organise the day. stubble for the bits before/after lunch. and you all for coming. I had a hell of a good time. and the skirmish at the end of the day was amazing fun. cant thank you all enough for making the doughboys day so sucessful.
I had a great day today, thanks to all who made it happen, I especially enjoyed leopard crawling up that hill three times, especially as I didn't have a hangover! And well done to everyone for looking the part.
Hope to see you all again soon.
Cheers
Ranj
That's me just in...
Got a few beers in last night, before I had to leave to go back to Meadowhall, where I waited for three and a half hours for the bus home in the (literally) freezing cold. Ended up going back into my rucksack to put every layer I had on, so as to keep the cold out as the grass crystalized around me. Great photos on that other thread!
Hi Guy's..... Just dropped in to thank you all for Sunday,.. Great day,.. you all looked the biz,..... really enjoyed it,.. especially the end of day skirmish....... cheers
Got to second that one, you really looked the part the photos back that one up. Have to say you were getting right on the ball with the squad movement that we practiced and Webby's ambush went in well. We'll be organising a FIBUA training day at "First and Only" Urban site in a short while and I hope you'll all get down for that one so the SS can have a decent fight with you and kick some US ass.

That sounds great Stubble! Thanks for walking me through the ambush again!
Cheers to everyone , had an absolute fantastic time although I'm having a little trouble moving my legs at the moment.
look foward to seeing you all the next time around.
Don't worry lipton, not everywhere has the east midland's tallests amount of steps to get onto the playing site! I had to go back up at the end of the day to fetch by bloody e-tool! hehe
It's only about 87 steps, from memory....
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
You counted them?
I suppose you've got to occupy yourself somehow while your climping those things.
I used to go every other week when I was back at uni, they're engrained into my head! hehe
certainly had a cracking good time. still tired as hell today but just showed the lads in work the photos and they said they looked amazing.
roll on the eagle has landed!
Remind me never to drink home-made wine from Rhys ever again! Oh and remind me never to mix it with (don't laugh)
a bottle of Lambrini and a hip flask of whisky........
A now fully recovered Anne.
haha glad you're feeling better anne. I still say it was the lambrini that did you in as I was mostly fine the next day. 
Oh that reminds me big thanks to Che and Carl for the pyro at the day. I know you lads worked under some pretty restrictive conditions and we appreciated you battling through them no end. Also for helping us at the end of the day in the skirmish, you seemed to enjoy shooting your countrymen
