Despite being put "at risk" at work, I'm at 6.4
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Somewhere around 6 or 7 at the moment, though the general trend is for the reading to increase on a daily basis. Definitely looking forward to this!
I'm on about 7-8 but that's because this is my second event and I'm staying over on the Friday so I also get the chance actually meet some of you lovely (though slightly insane) people this time and it's added to my excitement rating
Morey... Per Ardua...
Only reached 4.2 atm. This is because I have to split my excitement between this game and the SMLE that's on its way from Evike. If there was even the slimmest chance I would have the rifle before next weekend then I would probably have broken the scale
I also can't find a valid excuse to use my Aussie uniform (which looks damn good) as there were apparently approximately 13 members of the Australian army involved in the battle for Normandy and they were all officers. I guess I shall have to just wear it around the camp site
A good 7.5, got my BAR today, happily applying walnut stock oil to the woodwork this evening

i'd relax about the smle it's going to take a few hour work and tinkering before it's usable , i had a similar experience waiting for a pair of jack boots , if i had tried to use them fresh on delivery they would have ripped my feet to pieces so i was lucky they were late in the end .
6.5 on the excitement ,done a bit of gunsmithing ,as usual i seem to be taking enough weapons for the 4th Reich.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Im more excited about this than the World Cup. 9
i'm afraid the world cup offers a negative on the scale of about minus 9 and i still have to watch it as the wife want's to see it

I sorted all my gear and camping equipment out at the weekend, just pondering whether to bother with bling for Friday night. More crap to pack vs a chance to dress up. Oooh, decisions.
It has been a very long time since my last WW2 game, so looking forward to this, just tempered a bit as I'm not looking forward to the drive and my wifes college has Ofsted in this week.
Call it 6.5 for now.
Cheers

Heck I'm a 10. But I would say that wouldn't I?

Probably at about 6 - the weekend is still the best part of five days away and too much work to do before then!

As far as the drive is concerned, may I humbly suggest the humble audio book to while away the time?
Served me very well on trips to Fireball.

Radio 2 usually carries me on my way, but it is over 200 miles and the whole Motorways on a Friday night thing. Urgh. It'll be fine once I'm there.

There'll be a warm beer awaiting you, Martin!

Damned excited! (My excitometer is in old Imperial measurements running from 'Dashed nervous' through to 'Jolly well looking forward to it!')
Load of kit I am hoping is to arrive before I move house, hopefully will have that before the game

Don`t foregt the M4 mages for the Flak
Building nicely to a 6.5 an up
My excitement is also building. The first time I'm using my own kit (apart from weapon). I'm sure you veterans remember how it felt to be using you own gear for the first time.

I'm on the same boat Morey and just got my webbing today and it fits! Can't quite figure out the Brit water bottle though!

I'd be an awful lot more excited if I could move my arm above my shoulder.
