ah ha, i see.

Looks like an interesting site lads, well done on getting the game back on track.
A good oportunity to earn a Krim Shield
Ha ha! More excuse for bling.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
angain , good job with getting it back on track so quick.

Looks good to me... I'll see if I can make it!
Sounds good enough to even be worth risking the M25 to get there! Add in Naval Infantry as well and you can count me in for sure.
If you're coming from Nottingham it's only 15 minutes more journey time than Taplow.
The eastern side of the M25 is significantly better than the western side in terms of traffic jams.
Im interested, would naval infantry be fighting with Red Army infantry? or would they be seperate units?

I would answer that by saying they will be fighting alongside each other and will generally be defending the same objectives throught the day. But, they will be organised into squads of one or the other and will be given orders on a per squad basis so may have different missions during the course of the day.

So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."

We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

Looks like I'm free on this date. Will have a think about braving the horrors of the M25 for it, as it's a long way for a day game (I know the "east side" of the M25 isn't as bad as the rest but, it's still pretty bad!).
When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
I was supprised how easy our trip back from the site visit yesterday was, finished at 5pm and just over an hour to basingstoke.
The traveling is the main reson all our last events have been on a saturday, arrive friday night or sat am, battle all day , a good social and most important some sleep, before the trip home sunday morning when traffic should be a lot less than a sunday evening

I've been using the M25 for 20 years and can count on one hand the number of times I've had really bad traffic on the Kent / Essex side.
I'm should OK for this one (Soviet) but I'll probably have to come down on Friday.
Any idea what the game start and end times are and when we can get on-site on Friday? Are there any camping spots or is it all 'in building'.
Weapons say K98, Moisin, MP40 or PPsH. How about my SVT40?
Cheers

"Camping" will be all in building although it should be possible to pitch a tent somewhere if you really want to although it would be a little way away from the main car park and safe zone building as that is all built on hard standing.
Friday arrival is no problem, we will confirm earliest arrival time ASAP.
A full weapons list will be published very shortly. All of the ones you mentioned Martin are a definite yes E-tools or shovels are also recommended for the Russians. You will get the oportunity to use them!

Duh, I forgot the SVT40 - and G41, if anybody's got one! (I guess Del's G43 could pass for one.)
Places secured by payment, as always.

Not sure if I've missed it, or, if it's already been asked but, short "combat mission" type games, or one rolling scenario?
