I don't know if its of any use but I do have an original very large verbandkasten (from a firetruck) if that would be of any use for anything?
Ooh very nice, the German forward CP will also act as a regen during the game so a verbandkasten would certainly look the part, I'm trying to organise a taup so the officers and other site dressing I have for it can keep dry if it rains
I'll bring my czech Dienstglas to be used for recon, spotting for the 7.5 or can be given to the MG crew to help pick out targets
I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.

Okay I'll bring it along, I'll have to repair the base first as the woods starting to delaminate , I do have a few original medical bits and pieces but will try and fill it with whatever suitable I can find, e.g. my sandwiches
or maybe the whole groups sandwiches as its 'kin huge !

How big were you planning on making forward CP? We could probably just rig up a couple of zelts as a basha if needs be? A tarp might be easier though.

I thought about zelts but they will probably be needed for tentage. German staff must have the proper facilities:
2 x folding chairs
folding table
paperwork bureau
field telephone
Radio for both civil and military use
Ammunition crate
Detenator crate
Coffee making facilities
All the above I have just need some cover
Perhaps I shouldnt have let slip to the troops the comforts that the officers will have
I am intending to use my K98 but would be happy to bring my MG42 and Lafette that can be used in a fixed position by anyone.
Also, I have a couple of guns I could lend out if required. (Mp40/Sten)
probably my kar 98 or garand if kar not upto it , as fancy some rifle lol but if needed i can smg it up with mp40 or maybe ppsh
if needed can bring mg42 but presumed martin was bringing his
if needed i could bring the small mortar but i only have a cpl of shells and at a fiver a bang it not a cheap weapon
Well Chris, if we have Martin MG in a fixed position , we could use yours for the more attack based action
As for artillery shells, I am happy to pitch in £20 quid for it - howitzer or mortar.
Yes, i do think you should get some 42 lovin' Chris. I'm happy for mine to be fixed position or whatever. Also, put me down for £20 on the mortar shells.
OK DBL MG42 IT CAN BE oops caps but no way in hell am i carrying tins mount loool i wont be bringing enough tramadol lol
and will bring mortar and will see if i can still get some rounds cheaper as lost lot think i got were 4.25 all fired correctly etc , apart from the 1 i put upside down and killed 4 of us as i tipped out in a panic

Cheers Lutz that goods of you. I think we should have enough shells for the arty so perhaps if you could get some mortar round? The mortar will be more flexible in attack
I'm happy to go with either k98 or mp40 depending on the mix of weapons or as our Truppenführer dictates

Its personal choice really, the low ammo limits and possible ammo shortages make Rifles attractive, however some MP40,s will be useful. It might be worth bringing both and seeing on the day who has what
Yep will bring both, just wondered if you wanted us to squad up with a balanced type of weapon where possible, e.g. not one squad with all rifles, but happy to play it by ear on the day
