I'm Planning on giving the Tanaka a good day out, as so far the weather hasn't been to kind to it 
I'd happily be a Assistant gunner but will go where ever I'm needed. Temptation for 2IC but I'll probably suck at it
Should be booking on at the end of the week

I approve anything. Not only am I a Zugfuhrer, but I'm also a chilled-out entertainer. 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Don't mind being a No.2 on the MG. Otherwise, more than happy to be your cheeky, chirpy Cockney Irish bullet shield. 
If Andy is in charge I don't mind being 2iC, gives me a chance to die gloriously leading the rifle team from the front. As usual.
As long as I don't have to carry the radio.
Cheers
Martin

All booked up, and I'd be keen to close the distance so I can hurl plenty of things-that-go-bang at those amerikaners and stubborn Tommies so you can mark me down as a regular pioneer. Of course I'm more than happy to lug ammo or other gubbins about if no one wants to do it.
I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.
I am booked and paid for, Josh just needs to update the list.
I'll bring my MG42 but won't be using it due to still having a dodgy shoulder. So it's up for grabs if anyone want to use it! As we a pionier Zug I don't see why we cant have two MG's to increase our firepower. 
I'll bring my 5cm mortar also on the off chance that Josh might issue us with some mortar rounds.
Am happy to put my name in the hat for 2IC.

Meant to add, booked and paid.

Hell yes! if we cant beat them with skill and tactics its always good to resort to overwhelming firepower 
Any volunteers to carry it?

If Boshman feels he can trust me with it I'd be happy to carry it.

Heh, it's full steel and more likely to break you than you are to break it!

If we need a mortar man, I'll happily volunteer - I got rather good at using it at Sevastopol!
Reading all this, i cant wait for the battle to begin.
Love to do machine gunner or assistant. On the other hand just bought an ammunition box for the 5cm mortar abroad.... The real thing. Want to turn it into a hand grenade carrying box for all the stick grenades i bought on sale. So liked to get close to the enemy just like bootedfeet.
Leutnant Steiner where do you need me.
Well, if Lutz wants a go at Machinegunner I'll happily step back so that he can carry it on the Saturday while he's there, and take over on the Sunday?

I'm only Unteroffizier! But since you ask, could you go right out at the front, and draw the fire?

Thanks but thinking about it, I probably rather do MG assistant as i have never fired one of those.

Jawohl, Herr Unteroffizier!!
OK, two machineguns and a mortar. So we aren't actually pioneers but the battalion heavy weapons company 
Two MGs mean we can run the gruppe as two MG teams with supporting riflemen in proper panzergrenadier style. I have carried Boshmans MG42 around before, so I think I'll pass.
Cheers

I'll volunteer as an MG assistant gunner, then. I don't mind carrying it either. I've helped lug an LSW about before.
As Herr Steiner is a chilled out entertainer I have taken the liberty of revising the TOE for the Zug following member feedback I suggest the following, please note this is not set in stone if anyone wants to change alter things we will try to accomodate:
Eins Gruppe
CO - Steiner
MG42 - Pride
Ass Mg - Allenby
Mortar - Matty
Ass Mortar - Jimmiiee
Zwei Gruppe
2IC - Bosh
MG42 - Booted Feet
Ass MG - Lutz
Pioneer - Martin
Pioneer - Gav
I would suggest any mine clearing demo works goes to Martin & Gav then we all have a 'specialist' roll.
Everyone happy?
