I'll add that to the mountain of kit I'm bringing with me,I'll bring German kit too in case you are desperately short of Germans though I will be in Home Guard kit preferably.I've spoken to your piper and will be lending him a full Gordon Highlanders loadout ,its badged 1st Lieutenant so he has no option but to lead from the front :(

Yep booked as well. I'll be in my RAMC Major loadout (just got off the boat from Dunkerque/Bordeaux), so i'll be there to patch the Tommies up and take potshots at any Hun that start menacing.

I'm a hero with coward's legs.

The fantastic thing with both those guns, is that they are both M16's complete with bottom feed mag, ris rails and everything. Instead of spending a year thinking about it, he built it in a week. It's plenty good enough for this battle.

Well, I'm interested in coming to this, just have to decide which side, I have german rig but am thinking of going as a 2nd Battalion South Staffords Instructor with the local LDV, with a badged BD to look good in the bar after all the fighting is over.

Why not play as a german and drink as a Brit? The German side is decidedly low at the moments so it would be great if those who have the option to, go as german. It'll be a much better game if the sides are more balanced and besides, it's always more fun playing the bad guys! :lol:

True, I've got Gebrigsjeager kit and an MP40 so could go as that, I've got boots and gaters though I could do with getting some Jackboots and some other little bits of kit to finish off the impresion to a happy point.

I'll get an idea of numbers up tomorrow when I check with the ranges and would appreciate as many Germans as possible to even up the sides and give a good skirmish for all. Excellent idea for swapping sides for the evening drinkies and social.

I wont change sides in the evenings, I'll drink with those I have fought beside all day, I'll check with OC Homefront first but put me down as German for this, it's only little bits that I was going to be getting anyway, my combat kit is all sorted.

I'm hoping to be sporting the all new Sturmpioniere look for the day game but fell I should resort to Feldgendarmerie in the evening in case any of the locals think of mis-behaving :twisted:

I should be ok thanks, It's just little things like another belt for down the bar in the evenings, and wound badge etc for my tunic as it looks a bit bare at the moment and it has been used a few times now so I could do with putting something on to mark that, no eastern front ribon as according to this that has not even happened yet, any ideas though where I could pick up a cheap pair of marching boots?
