Hi all
Now its just a week and a half away figured its time for a slight revive and summary thread.
Training day is at phoenix woodland site on sunday feb the 10th. For directions check phoenixs site or see the previous thread.
Begins at 9:30am on the sunday or if you want to stay over night we can get on site later saturday evening. We are sleeping in a building with toilets etc so no need for tents and shovels.
First hour will be a range session to try various guns and generally have a little shoot. From then on will be proper training with a little attack/defend scenario at the end. Once the range finishes at 10:30am we'll have two 1 hr sessions followed by 1 hr for lunch then two further 1 hr sessions. At the end we'll be defending a position as the SS attack us.
Stubble is kindly bringing along 2 para's who are going to help train us also covering the following items.
Patrols and anti ambush drills
Squad movement
Ambush tecniques
Section in defence
Cost is £20. Stubble is trying to organise a big pyro show for the final attack/defend game so there could be a small charge of a few more quid for this. If anyones not happy with that please say so now so we can let him know.
Phoenix have a shop selling stuff on site so please bear it in mind for supplies. Pricing can be found on the previous thread too.
Heres the current list of people attending. please ask around and see if you have more friends who'd like to come. This is open to all US players not just doughboys.

Sounds great Rhys. I know you, Chris and Dave have been putting some thought into this, so thanks.
Come on peeps, this is a great opportunity to create a more cohesive force and get a little bit of camaraderie going!!

Just a quick follow up here, the final exercise should be a raker, you'll get to practice everything you've learned. You'll be sending out 4 man recce patrols, which may or may not get ambushed, you'll have to negotiate your way through your own defensive minefields and back again. You'll set up a couple of your own ambushes once the SS start to advance, and you'll have to deal with the SS recce patrols and try and stop them getting through. You'll throw in a couple of sniper hides to try and delay them before falling back to your defensive positions, which consists of a prepared trench network. Once you get there, there will be a top pyro display in the form of a mortar and smoke barrage which we'll make as realistic as possible, so get your heads down for that, then your in for a full scale attack by the Waffen SS. You're in for a top days' airsofting.
Right, that's me sorted out my travel now.
Leave Edinburgh at 11am, arrive Sheffield (Meadowhall) at 430pm. Get on my train for Mansfield at 644pm, arriving at Mansfield at 752pm. From there, webby says he'll get me 
I have a problem, however, one which has just become clear now I've paid for everything... I have no way of getting back to Sheffield from Mansfield on the 10th. The only trains leaving there are at 6am, and at no other times. Can anyone give any help/advice?
Sorry dude 
Im still unsure if Im gonna be able to make it now more due to lack of transport than time. Dont suppose anyones coming over from up manchester way?
No longer involved in airsoft.
I know how you feel. If I can't get my transport woes sorted by friday I'm going to have to cancel. 
Bus? http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/large ... /SEM53.htm

Nice one Diggah. 
Now that I've got my travel sorted I'll be there.
What time are people arriving on saturday?
The site is in use on Saturday for an open day so I would make sure that we miss the crush as people hand back kit and bag up.
I would think any time after 6pm would be OK but I'll just confirm that with management.
Keith (Forester) will be looking after us as Phoenix representative (he is a marshal) so I need to see when the day staff are handing over to him.
a word to the wise if you spot the Fallschirmjäger mind your step 
theres nowt so Permanent as temporary

Kavster,
I live at the South side of Sheffield. It won't be a massive detour to drop you off at the railway station after the day finishes. Hopefully that sorts your problem.
Regards.
John.
Thanks for the offer mate, but Ranj has galloped in on his white charger already. Looking forward to having a beer with you all on sat night!
P.S. Are we still doing a 'movie night'?

We're planning to, but it depends on availability of equipment.
As long as it fits in the car, (Barrie and Annes as they're kindly giving me a lift), I'll be bringing the 50 cal,
help even things out 
50.cal!! yeee harr! 
If anyone here is interested, I might bring my Grease Gun down and if someone really wants it, they can have it at a fair price. Comes with sling and four mags, and is as upgraded (tight barrel and stronger recoil springs) as it can be. Also have spare seal set. I'm not sticking it up for sale as of yet, as I'm not sure I actually want to sell it, but then again I haven't used it for ages and I could do with the cash for my German impression.
Mike
bring it down kav im sure people would love a look
I'll be bringing my Shoepacs and a post-war M1 Helmet to sell.
Rhys, does your buddy want the helmet??
sorry meant to PM you yes he does HS
mind your step
Which 1 CHe, there are hundreds of them up to the gaming site hahaha
