i have a 49 patt one, but working on having it tailored to a war dated one( just need a few jobs to come in and pay for it)
Hi Gadge,
Always available for some blasting in the King's finest. Pte sounds gravy for me!
Nice one dude.
A good few events planned for next year!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
So I believe
just paypalled steiner for another RAC helmet and ordered a leather chin strap from SOF so i will have a spare helmet for loaning out after autumn mist in december.( in fact, if i bring a few tools and fixings we will have a spare helmet AT autumn mist)
Tell us a little about yourself and then I'll add you to the members list.
Still need a runner?
Well I need to have a chat with Yith, evo and Woodlander about stuff.
Essentially Woodlander was kind enough to show us some 1944 pamphlet material on the organisation of rifle sections and it turns out that it was a possibility for glider platoons to have 7 man sections.
For airsoft purposes where ten blokes can be a bit unwieldy I have a sneaky feeling this is the way forwards for training purposes.
If we do do that it basically creates '3 section' and gives us a full platoon fething *driving* or what eh?
However as said need to work out how to impliment any or all the materials in the manuals and it requires a chat between said chaps.

Sorry to mess up your numbers, but I just joined
Also I am pretty sure my 'Canadian' friend (from Falaise) will wish to join, and as he has a car an I don't it would normally be a double act of attending.
Oh and another, new, friend is seriously considering buying a Denison smock for December.
More is good right?

Of course!
See my answer to Huxley's post re uniforms...

For a denison and beret go to SoF...
I'll add you to the member's list now.
That's down to Gadge... its his little baby... you'll have to wait until he reappears..
yith , can i pick my boots up tomorrow?( sat ) cheers.
lol... I'm off to Blackpool tomorrow. I'm not sure when though, though I may also be going to notts... lol!
ok, drop them off at jay jays when you can, i will pick them up there ( busy fitting the owners kitchen at the moment)
k will do.
Right roster updated.
If *half* of our number turn up to a game we can field a full strength section and HQ *or* two 'airborne' sections of 7 men.
Nominally I think we'll be looking at training and gaming with 7 man sections and 3 man HQs with any extra guys who turn up (say in utter unlikeliness all 27 of us show up) deployed to bulk out the rifle sections giving us a full strenght of 3 x 8man rifle sections and a 3 man HQ.
That my friends would be impressive to say the least.
Essentially we could now provide the *entire* opfor for even a large wwii game.

mmm, peace through superior firepower
just need a airsoft Piat and Light Mortar for a full(ish) platoon.
