Cost £15 per head
If players could indicate they are coming on the forum here, then all money can be paid on arrival.
Camping at this time of the year is't really an option but for those who want to come over the night before, there is a large 20m indoor range building we can use. It will be cold though so bring plenty of sleeping bags
Combined Axis and Allied training day to be held at Ford Rifle Ranges.
The intention is to give local, new and potential WW2 airsofters a chance to train individually as separate sides and cumulate that training in a battle to end the day.
08.00 – 09.00 Arrival and booking in
09.30 range safety brief for all those attending, introduction to Ranges staff and trainers.
10.00 Teams split to different areas and commence training.
Although the tactics may differ between the opposing sides the theme of the training will be similar.
10.00 – 11.00 Theory. Brief kit check, Q&A on correct kit and how it should be worn, and then on to the theory of squad movement. 1 ic, 2 ic and the tasks of the rest of the squad. Basics of orders and correct response to orders, hand signals etc.
11.00 – 13.00 Teams will go out to separate areas and practise basic squad drills. Advance to contact, drill on contact, fighting withdraw and basics of ambush.
13.00-14.00 Lunch. Tea & Coffee available free all day and a burger van will be available on site. Should be able to do a good deal on a chilli for all.
14.00 – 14.30 Troops move out to positions and given orders of battle.
14.30 – 16.00 Battle scenario to be played out. Allied have been given their orders and Axis theirs. It will be up to the teams to see if they can put what they’ve practised into an actual combat situation.

Nice one Dave, dont forget to introduce yourself on the "New to the forum" thread, they really are a very friendly helpful lot in here.
Well it looks as if this event is going to be shelved. The local Ford team will have a training day irrespective but we cant pull in enough Axis to run a proper session, so it's going on hold for the moment.
However we hope to be taking a leaf out of Gunman's book and we are currently planning a couple of "Operations Weekend" type of games.
The 2011 calender is already chock a block so it is inevitable that these will clash with other events, however the exercises will be aimed at local players and those not old enough to attend CiA events.
