Operation Jubilee, 21st & 22nd February @ EAG Worthing

Zero Bravo · 2009-01-08T21:39:32Z

Location: Elite Action Games Worthing Date: February 21st & 22nd 2009 Name: Oporation Jubilee Background details taken from Wikipedia The Dieppe Raid, also known as The Battle of Dieppe or Operation Jubilee, during the Second World War, was an Allied attack on the German-occupied port of Dieppe, Seine-InfÃ©rieure on the Northern coast of France on 19 August 1942. Over 6,000 infantrymen, predominantly Canadian, were supported by large British naval and Allied air force contingents. The objective was to seize and hold a major port for a short period, both to prove it was possible and to gather intelligence from prisoners and captured materials while assessing the German responses. As this is our first attempt at running a WW2 themed game we are sticking as close as possible to the Comrades in Arms rules for look alike kit and weapons. These guys have been running WW2 games for some time and their rules work. There will be severe ammo limits, 600 rounds per life so no hi caps if possible, please. Price for the weekend will be Â£25, with a ten pound non refundable deposit to book a place. Another hint from the CiA guys is to limit and set the places, so to start with the game is limited to 20 players, 10 Allied and 10 Axis, please make it clear when booking which side you want to play on. When the initial places are taken we will open more places but ensure an even split. I posted this up on Arnies, and have been advised to post it here as well. Elite Action Games Worthing is a small friendly site on the south coast in sunny Sussex and as I'm a firm believer that there's not enough WW2 action in the south I thought I'd dip my toe into the world of hosting a game. I'm putting a lot of work into hopefully making it a good game, we've done a few weekenders and some 24 hr games so I know there's enough to play for a weekend. My plan is to kick off the game at noon on Saturday and play till about 5 ish, with the chance for a two hour night mission for those who want to do it, from 6.30 till 8.30 pm. After that in finest CiA tradition it's all guns away and I'll break open the schnapps that I aquired from a friendly Austrian My wife will do up a pan of stew for us to help soak it up. After Bacon Banjos on Sunday the games will commence at 10am and run till 3pm. As I've previosly stated it's my first foray into hosting a WW2 game so please be a bit forgiving if I over indulge in artistic license,( it's a woodland site, not a port!) and as it's an experiment, it is reflected in the price. ( I'd be cutting my own throat if I dun it any cheaper guv, honest ) Please PM me for address to send deposits, sorry I dont have paypal as yet. If this event is successful, we may host a bigger game at our other site at Dorking later in the Autumn. Please feel free to ask any questions

Numbers stand between 20 and 25 I think. Some friends have said they are going to turn up and support the Allied team, but I haven't taken deposits from them, so I'm just hoping they turn up! I'll be on site from about 8 ish

So how many on the German side then as I thought it was capped off at 11 a side ?

Hopefully the extras will be distributed evenly between both sides and they don't all end up on the allied side.

Ha ha dont worry mate, historically it was a massive win for the Axis, the allied team really do have their work cut out on this one :wink:
For those that haven't been to the site, its a bit easier to find the entrance to the site as the nice men from the highways agency have put a load of cones alongside the site. So as you travel along the A27, towards Worthing, you go past the Patching turn off and you will see the cones, the site entrance is at the end of the cones on the left.
Portaloo was delivered this morning, so entrenching tools are not vital this weekend :good:
(you might want to bring some decent bog roll though!)
Looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow. PM me if you want my mobile number in case you get really lost

:rofl: :rofl:

Edit, just a reminder to pack an extra layer chaps, it's mild during the day, and even warm in the sunshine, but bloody chilly still at night. I will have a van load of broken pallets arriving at 9 am to burn in the evening, so we'll be warm by the fire :good:

Aparrently wooly pullies for the Axis, although rare were available. My wife is knitting me a "looks alike" grey roundneck pullover at the moment. The wool cost me Â£40 (you should have seen me in the shop picking the wool and pattern, I was like a total fish out of water) and she's been on it for two weeks, having said that she's on the sleeves already. It wont be ready this weekend but wont be long. It's not commercially viable, but my missus is happy if I'm warm :kiss:

WOOOOOOOOOOOW, what a great game!

If you missed it you missed out.

I must say both sides played exceptionaly well, and the two days of gaming ran really smoothly and without fault, we definatly have Zero Bravo (jimbo) to thank for such a great time.

I must say the highlight was the two organised explosions (destruction of the gun inplacments and the radio tower) pictures of which should be available soon worth a look at...

Although I was on the Allies side, the Axis forces made a superb effort, both in game and kit. saying that, us Allies looked like a brilliant motley crue of RM Commandos, Tommys etc...

On the whole a brillant two days and I highly advise Comrades in arms to host a game there :good:

I'm sure others will comment on the game, but thats my two pennys worth

I had a fantastic weekend thanks guys especially Jimbo. After now having played ww2 airsoft I can see that it's a level up from normal airsoft and this weekend has definately been the best airsoft experience I've had.

I've uploaded a video of the pyro at the prison here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4pyR58yHqI
