I have pretty much full kit to lend anyone.

OK Sven is ready!!
Wife away in the fatherland this week, set up the command post,barbed wire camo net Red Wine and slept out last night with the boys (Stiff as a board this morning
)
Myself and the other lad ready, just still finishing off the MG34 look a like for our section then some odd bits and we 3 are ready.
I don't know if any fellow jerries will be interested in this, but I scanned this out of one of my books. It's a spread on Germen Offensive squad tactics. The best bit was the last para on the next page - "Although grenades were best thrown from behind cover they could be used on the move. In circumstances where showers of grenades were needed the order 'Handgranaten' from the squad leader would prompt the men to throw." Sounds like fun!
Well looking at the booking thread German coming along nicely. I am still in the throws of getting a couple more to come (2 Definte just have not booked as they are on hols)
Are we going to be able to make up some squads? How many per squad and troop type SS Heer FJ etc?
Hmmm. Methinks we may have to (as I believe Churchill did) consider the of mustard gas and Greek fire!

Funny that
The 'osterly park' mob have been dicussing the 'gas' issue for the allies. Along with the old fire ball stuff. Ah the mad 'ol plans of the Home Guard
Bring your gasmask just in case - I am!

Clear off our thread, Allied Schwein!
In answer to your question Gordon, I'm sure we'll be working with some kind of squad structure.

well, received a letter today saying the first baby scan is on the 18th so that means that I can still make this, woo hoo in German!!
"Will you stop talking about the war!!"
"What, you started it!"
"We did NOT start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."
Great stuff, glad to have you on board.
Clear off our thread, Allied Schwein!

Now Fremsley, do you remember what happened last time you decided to charge at me at Cassino?, you could always transfere to the 3rd Reich to avoid it happening again!

No fifth column here old boy! This time we'll be armed with the Northover projector!

OK had a go at the MG34 look a like, stress ,that as it only cost me some paint a bit of pipe here and there and some effort. At least we will have something in our section to fight that Vickers and Lewis Gun
Enjoy
I wish that I had the time and money as in the MG34 thread at the moment but for a Tenner it will do for this game.
Does the job for me!

Looks fantastic, well done
That is most impressive, you'll have people wanting plans of how to make one of those.
Thanks guys I know it is only look a like but hey does the job.
Jimbo I would have like to have put the real drum mag on but I managed to put something reasonable on. Any guesses what it is
Hmm under close examination maybe a paint tub with straws glued to the side? It's really hard to say, but I see why you didn't need the drum mag, I dont think yours detracts the look of the weapon. As they say it's not what you've got, it's how you use it!
You'll have to have a look at the Lewis and Vickers though as there's ideas that you guys can both share.
Can`t wait.
Now the drum mag is a 100 DVD computer disk spindle with wooden skewers split in half glued and painted
