Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, we're now taking booking again for the TD in August
OK here's a brief heads up on what's going on with this, we've booked up for the weekend of the 18-19 August at the new "First and Only" site near Matlock as the Herr Major has already said, this is I believe a 70-90 acre site with bags of scope for what we want to cover.
What we want to achieve with this one is to cover "O" groups for officers and NCO's, patrols and ambush procedure, followed by section attacks on prepared positions . we will be allowed to dig shell scrapes for that.
We want to cover this during the morning. During the early afternoon we will practice on each other and spring formal and snap ambushes, the casualties will fall when hit, and play dead, so that we can send out searchers and do the job properly.
In the afternoon, we will carry out the attacks on prepared positions, the Herr Major will be simulating a couple of spectacular mortar attacks prior to the assaults going in.
On the allied side we have Gadge and Morgs doing the training, Gadge is an ex officer and Morgs is still in the Army. On the axis side we have myself and Sgt Heide, both ex infantry instructors, we may even have a little help from the Fallschirmjaegers with an additional instructor in the form, of major.
We're hoping to field at least two sections from both sides for the afternoon battle, when we put what we've learned into practice. So get your names down on the list, we want one Brit, and one US section. One SS and one Gross Deutschland.
This is it fellas, the casualties on both sides will be high during the assaults we want to see who has the grit and determination to win the day and be best troops in the field, is it going to be the allies or the axis?
