Everyone checked out the CiA Events Area for the thread on Operation Husky.
Mid summer event and the site looks amazing.
What ya'll going in? The Brave 101st? The All Ugly Yokells, I mean Americans? Infantry? Armoured Div?
There MIGHT be a tank! Perfect chance to debut my Garand Tanker!
I know that CiA haven't officially opened booking, but it'd be nice to know who's thinking about it from the American forces...

And what pray tell else would I be going as? My Indiana Jones Load out isnt ready yet haha Yes I'll be in 101st, might even have made my Mae West by then. Need to find a canvas supplier or raid the scout hut for an old icelandic!
Nigel, booo you were a good scout at D Day. We need your expertise! No seriously, no one had rifles at D Day we need some long range weapons haha

Still in the design and sourcing process. But it's a fairly simple design and it'll be identical to the mint condition ones that cost $400 on ebay...well maybe not quite as detailed but it'll look the dogs nuts to start the day in that.
I'll see how much it's going to cost me and if it's not too much time and effort I mite make two...or three depending how many people are interested. Don't hold your breath though.
I'm surprised no one passed comment on my 'Indiana Jones Load Out' haha

Might dust off the old infantry kit for this one, although I'll probably leave the wools at home!

Screaming eagles didn't need the infantries help then...and it don't need it now. Besides theres only two of you as infantry...I think it'll be us helping you!

On another note, I've got confirmation that we should have tank support coming. Think I'll badge up the old M41 with 2nd Armoured.

Awesome, bring it...I'm in two minds about whether to stay Airborne. I'll probably stay with the Tank whatever happens.
