Well I put down my deposit for the allies this morning and ordered my kit so at least theres me.
Maybe the floodgates will open now then - See you there

Sadly we have Ops that weekend at Tudders but I have a pile of rental kit I would be happy to rent out £10 a uniform if that would help. We only have a few guys that need kit so plenty spare! Is Tom of John involved in the running of the game? if so, I could drop a pile of kit off at AA in chalfont and they could pick it up!
hope this helps.

If you mean Tom Andrews who runs Elite Action Games, I dont know, you will have to ask Zero Bravo. Although I am involved in this event to some extent, Zero Bravo is your main man.
With regards to the Pimms comment, How dare you you say that...thats my line!

On the Sunday game I saw you got captured and said looks like its Pimms o'clock does that mean I infringed on your copyright . As to the issue with lack of allies it seems like there is more interest on the site forum on arnies.
Gunman, thanks for your kind offer, yes Tom could pick up kit if I can get the guys to book it in advance, I'll let you know and thanks.
I'm stirring up the regs on Arnies cos I know a lot of the guys would enjoy this game and shouldnt be put off by preconcieved ideas about the expense of starting. It neednt be expesive as I found out, it's taken me a year to get to where I am now and still got loads to go, you just dont have to get it all at once! Once I've got the Worthing regs round that I'm sure they'll get more into the game.
Edit: I have booked a professional photographer for the event, he will be the only Hi Viz in the game, we've used him before at vehicle days at Ford, and his picture quality is first class. The shutter speed is so fast that he not only caught the BB that hit a player, you can see the nest three that were going to hit her too! He knows the woods and the light and can capture those rare action moments that are just not posed. I know pimms can vouch for him too. He's a professional and has to charge for his services but a dvd with apppx 100 images hi res cost me £20 last time and a blown up full colour photo was £25. These are of course no obligation, but there if you want them.
Axis team now locked off at 11 players.
COME ON ALLIES, i'm gona me on my own at this rate...

Don't worry you still have me, even if that will disadvantage you
COME ON ALLIES, i'm gona me on my own at this rate.
Well said! Come on you Allies where's the Dunkirk spirit!
Alles für Deutschland
It's a nightmare, I'm bullying "normal" airsofters into having a go, waiting for some deposits from others and if the worst does come to the worst, and I really am going against the grain, I'll gear up at Oxfam and Dinzy and I will have a bash at the Bosh ourselves. I really dont want to having just spent a lot of money on my Heer loadout but for the sake of the game and all that. A wee bit disappointed about the lack of Allies but appreciate it's short notice, an unknown site and our first game. Historically it was a major win for the Axis so Peiper and his crew will go home happy, but the devil in me and support for the underdog if I have to become a turncoat, I'll certainly be getting some kills in, and not making it too easy for them
What!!!
No Zero come away from the light and comeback to the darkside
.Come to where the Kameradenschaft is strong. After all we all know what happens to traitors to the Reich!
i would love to come as allies but i have no way to get there unless i can get a lift from birmingham
The reason for the lack of allies, might be because Gunman Airsoft is also running a WW2 Operations weekened during the same 2 days, in preparation for 'D-Day +6 Road to Caen' in March.
Yey !! More Allies to dispose of

Well done Fred, saves me from the firing squad
I cant wait for this game to wear my new feldgrau so I'll be marshalling the regs in it untill then, got to get some dirt on it.
We've got a working party on site this weekend, hired a mini digger to do all the hard graft, expect trenches everywhere
Jimbo, will get corvin, my brother or Aaron to drop the money off to you for the game on the weekend, may not be there myself

I have a professional photographer booked for the game. I have used him for events at Ford Ranges before and his pictue quality is fantastic. He uses high end digital equipment ith a massive lens (please dont ask me for details, its big and expensive) He knows the woods and the light conditions and where to get good shots from. Everybody likes a good photo of themselves and he has the ability to get everyone in action shots which are so much better than those posed safe zone shots we usually get.
He charges £20 for a disc with appx 100 high res photos or he can print full colour A2 prints for £25 each.
I have a photo of an airsofter falling backwards with the next three bbs that are about to hit her clearly visible in flight! That is a good example of the shutter speed he is able to achieve!
He is a little bit boring though
