i had a great time nice to see everyone we had a lot of airborne this time great teaming with u all
it was a blast im a bit sore after those dam hills but it was fun
incredible, just incredible. pure magic, well done all, thanks to taffy and his lot . big cheer for CIA for this event, it was my first, but no-way my last.
As my last game before a little break it couldnt have been better. me and craig relived favourite bits in the car on the way home. Was cracking fun from start to finish. a tough site to play on but an amazing site! Big thanks to taffy for letting us use it and big thanks to the organisers for yet again putting on a cracking game.
and I think the social was the best yet so many funny moments.
Heh, murky bath now emptied and wounds patched up, just a couple of weeks of kit drying now to do!
Fantastic effort by you all.
We set you a tough challenge - harsh terrain, harsh challenges and the oppressive weather was yet another hurdle to overcome. But you came up trumps, repeatedly banging your heads against what might have seemed a brick wall, only to find with team effort anything is possible.
Impressive kit on show, great attitude and camaraderie - and another CiA event comes to an end.
Big thumbs up to Taffy who went way beyond the call of duty to make sure his visitors were looked after, it made all the difference. And a big hug to Helga (and her helpers) who manned the kitchen as well as keeping Che in check and leading some Jerry assaults today!
aye big thanks to Helga for the cooking. was a great social element to the weekend
Just in, kinder due to land in T-10 minutes great weekend so thanks to CiA, and special thanks to Taffy and his crew you went above and beyond, your hospitality was second to none
was great to see you again Nick had thought you'd fallen off the radar, but I know now taffy keeps you fed, watered and locked in a container
Was also good seeing old and new faces
Meh was nothing, bus (wo)mans holiday shouting at males though ta
Another Cracker! Had a great time as usual in and out of battle. I had plenty of brilliant gaming moments I'm sure I'll do my best to bore you with at the next social. The site is fantastic and it was certainly made good use of; I'm knackered, not used to hills on the fens.
A big Grazie to Taffy & Co for being excellent hosts, Helga and helpers for the lovely grub and of course the CIA crew for organsing such a great event once again.
Good Site.
Good Game
Good Craic.
Thanks to the Taffy and the CiA organizers for putting on a top notch weekend.
yet another success story for the CIA team well done guys as for taffy and co bravo i think thats the most welcoming and helpful site i have ever had the privilege to play on . just a shame i did not arrive in time to build a huge zelt palace but lucky for me guy produced the goods .
theres nowt so Permanent as temporary
What can I say without sounding like an echo!
Had an absolutely amazing time, I think the fact that all but 1 of my guns stopped working actually got me stuck in more, jumping in and out of the ferns and bracken with only a .45 and a fighting knife really made it quite special!
Thanks to all the Allies, and all the Germans too, was great to play with and against you all, it was good to see the Allies jelling and performing well as a team. Also to see the Germans firing everything they had at us (especially around the bridge) Good firefights, good times, great playing!
This game has definitely been put at the top of my most favourite games so far, and thats not bad since I have been playing now for 5 years! Well structured games (thanks to all the organisers for that) and excellent evening banter in the evening. I can't think why but I always managed to miss out on these during past games.
Thanks to Taffy and his fellas for use of the site, only being 30 miles from my house it was well worth the trip, and will be looking to come back for some more shooting again!
Hope every1 got home safetly, see you at the next 1
Brilliant!
To many epic little 'battles' to list, the most painful of which was my own side shooting me in the face from about 12 inches
No hard feelings zepplinman
It's the people that go that make it so good
Nice to see you all again.

Hi all
Thanks for all the kind comments.
Sorry we didn't manage to debrief you but as it started raining most people just seemed to want to get their kit stowed (including me!).
It was a fantastic weekend, the gaming all seemed to go to plan....which is a miracle!
Everyone played very fairly and with minimal moaning despite a tough site and the humidity on Saturday. As usual, the social was great fun and the campsite looked great. In fact, everyone looked great, the standard of kit just gets better and better, despite us constantly mentioning that you don't need to go to that much effort!
A massive thanks to Taffy, Nick and the rest of the Ex-Site crew for going above and beyond the call of duty. Just excellent.
Huge thanks, of course, too to Helga and various helpers. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the grub served up. You do know you've set a precedent now, don't you?
Finally thanks to you all for turning up and getting into the spirit of the game and playing so well. From an US Allied perspective we played really cohesively and poured it on the Krauts as often as possible, often taking detours from our main mission to assist the Brits!
Oh, and for the record....The Allies took this one.
(There was lots of intel and Bletchly tell us that there were also some Enigma codes in the woodland outpost which we captured earlier in the day!)
My first CIA game and I loved it. I have blisters on both feet and I don't care. Looking forward to the next one. I was great to meet every one and put names to faces. You are a top bunch. Thanks to every one
As all have said a great event def one of the best, sorry I could not use the toy maybe next time.
Great site Taffy just needs a few more trees, tarmaced roads and an elevator to get us up the hills
Hey Great Orme comes back to mind but as I have mentioned before they have to many aliens around there.

Great banter on Sat night!
Jeep was dry by the time Spiers got it back here, I think he was getting chatted up by some bird in a sports car on the way back (that never happens to me ) will leave him to comment on that.
Free speech is expensive these days!
I will respond later as my eye's are not very good, Bobby Ks comments about our Dom has made them a bit watery, Thanks for all the posts so far, I will be back on later tonight people

i know i speak for the rest of the Blaggers (BIG YELLOW MARSHMELLOW MEN)fantastic weekend see you all on the next one.oh and just before i go great to see the british land there glider ok
Hah, safe landing despite poxy US pilot getting jittery with the flak and dropping the tow rope. Dropped well short and had a hard tab and battle to get to our LZ. Still, a few cups of tea later and the chaps were heading for the bridge as if nothing had gone wrong at all. That's British pluck for you...
Dont mention the glider.................
