Yep all the WWIIs are comng out of the woodwork and finding us. Congrats to the lastest recruit
Sgt Heide, I'm glad to see another member of the 27th Panzers !
Thanks, I'm glad to find a fellow Sven Hassel fan. I've fancied doingWW2 airsoft for ages now, having quit "normal" airsoft because of the high cap toting idiots that seem to inhabit most sites these days. As an ex soldier, I think it's laughable to see people carting 3000 odd rounds with them and then talking about "realism".
I'm going for an SS setup (more Gucci camo than Heer!) and hope to put enough kit together to start playing at the June event, so, hopefully, I'll be seeing you guys real soon.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Dont forget me, with my yellow top hat 
We're all such saddo's ! Either of you seen the film ?
Wheels of terror? Unfortunately I have. Poor casting and pretty disappointing. Should have got Pekinpah to do it! I personally think "the bloody road to death" is the most cinematic of Hassels' books, the chapter "Darjeeling tea" still makes me laugh, about 20 years after first reading it!
