No, but you can shelter beneath my enormous penis.

I think I'm starting to get he hang of this innuendo malarkey.

Penis :shock: ?? I was only thinking about some protective cover

Guess our M40/M42's are bigger than your M1's lol :rofl:

Just kidding my friend - if it's that cold at the weekend how big a fire can we build?

Bad news on the fire front - the woodland ranger has said no. F&O are trying to sort a space heater though!

Speak for yourself! I'm sleeping in my car (can't be arsed with a tent for a one day game). I've also invested in some quality thermals and some sealskinz socks and will be wearing several layers of clothing (including a swedish sheepskin parka if it gets really cold!). I have a few heat pads as well if it gets particularly miserable. I don't think it will be too bad for those of us with woolen uniforms anyway, even if it pisses it down and is freezing cold, as a layer of wool is a great insulator even if soaked through.

Veterans of Churchills Revenge should take it in their stride anyway, as we've been through it before and come through it (except for 90% of the allied side of course! :ghey: ).




When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

I'll be all right once I'm in my tent - I'm thinking more of the social evening.

So was I! :rofl: For once, I plan on limiting my drinking (when the case if Stella is empty, that's it), as alcohol makes you more susceptible to hypothermia. I seriously doubt if I'll wear the parka "in game", as it's just too hot, I'll just go for several layers (easy to take one off if overheating). It is a bummer about the fire though, they're great for morale if nothing else.

I'm not really that worried about being cold, I just like a fire. I'm bringing plenty of warm clothes including a couple of greatcoats, one for the game, one for the social. I plan to wear my greatcoat in game, even if its not that cold. I just think it looks good. :D

I don't think any of us will be going overboard on the booze. I don't want to get any ideas of going on a site recce at 3am this time. :slap: :lol:

Don't forget we have two large tents in the safezone so we will be sheltered at least...

I find that sleeping in a car is actually colder than in a tent. No idea why. Plus I can never get comfy.

Latest update: The temperatures look to be a little milder, but still below zero. Snow/rain is now being forecast on three of the four links I've provided. Here's hoping the rain bit fucks off.

Latest update:

Metcheck - Saturday PM: Sleet. Saturday Night: Heavy Snow. (!) Sunday: Overcast. (Usually quite accurate) DID YOU SEE THAT?? HEAVY SNOW!!!

Met Office - Saturday PM and Night: Sleet. Sunday: Drizzle. (Met Office is always the middle ground)

Weather Channel - Saturday PM, Night and Sunday: Sleet. (No idea about accuracy)

BBC - Saturday: Heavy Rain. Sunday: Fog. (Rarely accurate)

So, that's clear then...... :rofl:

So, in essence, every forecaster is predicting different weather which means they haven't got a clue.

Weeelll, a common trend could be summed up as:

It won't be pouring constantly Saturday or Sunday - which is good
It might snow, a bit, but not enough to cause travel problems - which is good
It won't be sub-zero - which is good
It will be a bit windy, but cover ears, head and hands and the chill factor won't be too bad esp. under cover of trees - nuisance but not disaster
Might be a bit of sunshine on Sunday which will lift spirits - which is good

So, quite optimistic outlook for a winter game - nothing too problematic!
