Great gameplay. Great bunch of guys / gals. Great kameraderie. Big thanks to all who made it and all who helped to make it happen (you know who you are )
Well put together guys. Good pace and a interesting series of battles for all sides.
Great day - all the effort that went into organising the day really paid off. Can't wait for the next one
It was a great day, well done and thank you to the organisers. It was good fun to play alongside such an enthusiastic and friendly bunch of chaps.
Favourite moments? Well it is too close a toss up between manning that super funky, and deadly, mortar and my ignominious first encounter with my nemesis -
Chomley!
I think Chommers caused more choas and killed more people than anyone!
I had a great time leading the US troops - well done to all of you. The phrase I heard most often..........
"The Captain's dead!!"
Brilliant story and game control by Martin, ably assisted by Jimbo. Wonderful mines by Boshman! Thanks to Tug and Webby for kit loan.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
I really enjoyed the games, and have never seen such a high standard of gameplay or ham acting
Chommers was a star performer and kept a lot of people occupied all day. Martin's paperwork and Neils posters and mines really made this a first class event. Thanks to the other organisers but mainly thanks to you lot for making it all worth it's while

My nomination for best ham acting would be Lipton - on discovering Ranj (I think it was) dead, pretending to pound his body in frustration, rage and helplessness!

Thank you everyone for an excellent event, organisers and player alike.
I had a blast paying civvy. We fought hard and well as a team then fought each other then fought the Yanks then fought zeBoche - wandered around "drunk" and played with pyros and vegetables!
And I made tea.
It was great!
Looking forward to the next one

Thanks guys, for a very enjoyable day in the sun! My back is killing me from my "tramp" nights' sleep on the concrete under the stars and my legs bear the scars of several very nasty bramble slashes as a momento too!
Thanks to Jimbo for what had to be the best lunch I've been served with at an airsoft site as well. Also, to the organisers for providing a day that further underlined that you don't need loads of trigger time in order to enjoy yourself.
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Excellent. Really enjoyed playing a 'civy' and will happily do so again. My only critism, if thats the right word, is that I didn't get a chance to role play it more often and would have actually preferred less 'trigger time'. I loved the civlians being split into factions rather than all being sided with the US or Germsns. Plus making the Yanks nervous was just too much fun.
Thanks to all the organisers for their afforts efforts in maiing it such a good day, Jimbo especially for the lovely grub.
Thanks to all.
Had a great time being a civvy type, even if I did end up on the Germans side most of the time
Great to put some faces to names and some excellent game play. Can't wait for the next one.
Sorry Yanks, you were SO trusting
Well they say you always remember your first time .... and what a first time it was great day from start to finish - well run with good structure and fantastic gameplay - and a super site for it.
thanks to all the folks who ran it and helped in any way
and special thanks for (ok i crap with names so sorry if these are wrong ) neil for leading us germans and ian for leading the squad i was in and both helping me out on my first time at ww2 event
and marsha for carrying the machine gun for so long , those 3 early kills with that mounted on her shoulder were great.
oh stole some of the photos for my facebook page (hope you dont mind) so if u on facebook feel free to tag yourself if you on any http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 ... 013896160#
well cant wait till my next one
see you in the tunnels in jan
cheers

I had a cracking weekend
A big thank you to all the players, the AGS team and to Mark and the gunman crew.
The standard of gameplay was exemplary, and everyone played their roles fantatically.
A specialy thanks to Dave B and the rest of the 16th lads, and to Ian and the rest of his squad for playing so well and following all my orders to the letter. It was a pleasure and an honour playing alongside you all!
Mentions in despatches go to Marsha for lugging the MG42 around for most of the day
Black wound badge for cjw957 for grenade related injury
Gold wound badge to Dave B for wounds sustained in the defense of building 5
Some great pics posted so far, keep em coming!
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

it was a awsome day i liked the way nearly everyone trying to speak language
My nomination for best ham acting would be Lipton - on discovering Ranj (I think it was) dead, pretending to pound his body in frustration, rage and helplessness!
That wasn't acting Steiner, those emotions were heart string pullingly real.
But it was a corker of a day, loved every minute of it. I would like to give a big hats off to you organiser chaps for a phenomenal event and same to everyone else too, you are a top bunch of people.
I would also like to give a big pat on the back to 1st squad, you guys were brill. you followed your orders (no matter how daft they were ) and did your duties to the highest level.
My favourite moment at a pinch would have to be hearing a ruckus behind me, turning round and seeing Sgt Wladek with his hands in the air whilst Chomley's pointing the Sgt's own weapon against him. Followed swiftly by Americans from all sides (including myself) closing in on Chomley, all yelling at him to put the gun down. Classic
Anyway had a brilliant time so to represent that here's a dancing panda.
Great day ,great game play, well done to all involved.
