1. Uniform / equipment / weapon, as described in kit requirements.
2. All BBs, gas, grenades, smokes, as desired - no shop on site. UCAP Andy will have a shop onsite, selling the basics.
3. Fully-charged batteries, as required - limited power on site.
4. All food and drink as required for the event and socials either side - nothing for sale on site. Bring your own water - no drinkable water onsite
5. Field spades / shovels! Yes, a lot of the ground is made of aggregate, so foxholes / shell scrapes can (and will) be dug.
6. Your hit bandage / bloody field dressing.
7. Sleeping bag, roll mat, campbed, etc, if you're staying Friday or Saturday night.
8. Site is close to a McDonalds, so for those who like such haut cuisine on Saturday night...

There are a couple of portaloos onsite, but it's best to assume you'll need to bring everything else for your own comfort.


You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier

Andy can I just confirm about the accomodation. Herr Boshman said it was inside a building. Is it windproof enough that we don`t need a tent inside the building.
Can`t wait

Absolutely! windproof and watertight. Glass in the windows and everything! :wink: It is proper office building type rooms not open warehouse/hanger type of buildings.

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."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942

"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942

and is there room service and bed turn down as we've become acustom to at ags events :roll:

armoury
m1a1 Thompson,sten mk2,mp40,stg44,sterling,mk2 bren gun,lee Enfield no4 mk1,Mauser Kar98, Walther ppk,smith and Weston m10 and Mauser m712
Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

Put it this way - with the crowd we've got and the "cosy" onsite sleeping arrangements, the little chocolate on your pillow may not be chocolate :whistle:

Shall I bring me little generator - otherwise how is the state cinema going to be powered, apart from revolutionary fervor!

I'm a hero with coward's legs.

If you have the space that would be great. You can never have enough generators.

Fremsley are you bringing the Ice Cream van? If so I might borrow the 240v Jenny from the ranges and sling that in the back.

Thanks Andy, noticed:

8. Site is close to a McDonalds, so for those who like such haut cuisine on Saturday night...

...or it at least provides a more comfortable alternative to the Portaloos ;)

RETIRED, thanks for some truly memorable times and great people
