You got a denim BD in our speshul size? Respect! I've not thought of a loadout for this, that's a dilemma!

Yes indeed. Oddly chest 39-40 (fits fine) waist....ahem... 33-35 - hence need to fight the flab before the Jerries! No apple shaped Tommies allowed in this BD!

Are you not coming as the Hun?

I'm a hero with coward's legs.

OK after our little chat I can say 6 Germans will be there and I am going to rustle up some more to dip their toes in the WW2 scene, kit permitting. :good:

Hi Gordon, I do have spare kit to lend, if anything is needed. :good:

Likewise! :good:

“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."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942

Also likewise, I'm allowing look alike rules and leniency with weaponry, I'm wanting this event to be as inclusive as possible. There are very few WW2 games here on the south coast this year, I really dont want any players to miss out on a game because they dont feel that they dont have the right kit. I also dont want anyone to spend money on kit for this game.
If it offends some that I'm bending history and the truth, then I apologise, but the truth is it didn't happen, it's a what if?
What if the Americans were up north training troops, and I know the area was flooded with Canadians at that time.
Six of the guys that play at Ford have used this forum as reference and got themselves kitted up in British loadout from Sabre sales and Drop Zone, just for this event, hopefully they will go on to take part in further WW2 airsoft games, and for that reason alone I'm going to try and make it the best that I can.

Any more space for Home Guard/ british resistance? Sounds strange call us British resistance really. If there are I will take one.

Speaking on behalf of Jimbo (which I'm not authorised to do!), there are definitely enough spaces - he wants this event to be open to all.

Steiner is right, I'm wanting to make this game as inclusive as possible. The Brit defenders will be good with numbers as the Ford Team have built up a troop all Brits and their kit levels are coming on well. If anything I might struggle with German numbers but this can be adjusted with respawns etc.
I apologise for not posting up more info and booking details, but getting local landowners to speak to each other alone is a nightmare, and then try getting permission to shoot across it :roll:
I have a team of guys working in the background on this, as from today the minefield has doubled is capacity, thanks to the "Tour of Duty" game at Dorking a couple of weeks ago.
As soon as I get full details I'll post them up along with all the booking details that you will need.
Jimbo :good:

I'll be one of that group.

Are we going to organize a group buy of International brigade badges?

To the tune of "Mademoiselle from Armentières"

Napoleons army ran away, As you do
The guard stood firm for Frances Pride, As you do
They said the guard will stand and die
But we heard what their Colonel cried
It wasn't pretty I tell you.


Resistance is fertile

Hopkins, what on earth makes you think I'll be Home Guard?
I'll be on the Axis side making sure that the defenders are having a hard time :twisted:
However there will be a lot more Home Guard than you know about.
I hope to open booking threads and a lot more details this week.
