Don't know if anyone has noticed, or how long it's been up already, but the calender for 2008, here -
viewtopic.php?t=1868
is now showing a 24hr Ostfront game for May next year.

Start getting your russian gear together everybody, unless you're axis obviously.

Edited for spelling.

Edited again for grammar.

Oh, brownie points for spotting that! So much to say, so much to firm up yet. Except to say it will be an 'in depth' game - think CR but without the rain. And Americans. And six mile treck off-road to camps. :lol: :lol:

... think CR but without the rain....

Our Russian greatcoats laugh in the face of 100 year storm events!

If it's sunny however, we could be in for a problem.

Whatever - looking forward to this one already.

Partisans...Russians....Germans ...Hmmm as it says watch this space. :wink:

Barrie and Anne, you might want to consider buying some of these 'cos you'll sweat your preverbials off in greatcoats, just got some £6.99 ww2 issue with the correct "V" shaped cut to the knee, excellent value and unissued. Same with the tunic for £16 you can't go wrong!

Yup, there'll be three of us as Russians for this one, myself, Frontschwein and Nick Fenwick, we'll be going as some sort of sniper team for this one, so when bookings pop up please include us.

Absolutely, i'm def. up for this, been waiting for a chance to play russians fol a long time!

I'll probably be std. line infantry, but if i get my mosin sniper done in time, then i may have to invest in some amoeba pattern too!

Oh no Chris! Looks like I'll be shooting you guys in the head at this one then! Should have my Major Koenig setup sorted by then.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!

Stubblehopper thanks for the info - have just spent a frustrating hour wrestling with Ebay's shopping experience from hell and have managed to order one gimnasterka shirt.

Unfortunately, Ebay won't let me order another one, it just cheerfully reminds me I've just successfully placed an order for this item.

I want to get the trousers as well but am too frustrated at the moment. Surely there's some kind of shopping basket option. It must be me, it can't be this bad.

Can anyone help an Ebay noob? How do I order more than one thing at a time? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hmm thats odd. If theres more than one item available for that auction it usually asks how many you want when bidding/buying.

I can only assume that the auctioneer hasn't put a quantity number in and therefore you've only bought 1. If you've not paid already, get in contact with the seller and see if he can add another one to the order as an additional to the original invoice. That way you can pay for both at the same time.

OK pete, I accept, I'll do a Vassili Zaitsev impression, to your Major Keonig, we'll have to work out a few senarios for this one, stuff like kill the officer, capture the mapcase, kill the MG team ect, I'll be making an HMG Maxim 1910 for this game, so for example you can try and get close enough to kill the MG team and I'll defend, we can swap role and use the MG42 for the same, type of defend and stalk thing. I'll convice someone that they look f@cking awesome in a pair of those blue breeches with the red stripe(Gadeg springs to mind) and we'll have a political officer for you to hunt, just like "Enemy at the Gates" We'll need to discuss this further at some point, but it sounds very good, anyone know what the terrain is like? BTW Frontschwein is going to do that ugly bloke with the metal teeth and I think Helga would make a great Rachel Weisz

I'll be shipping in approx 2 billion midges and mosquitoes to make this event more unbearable than CR.

We can't let you have an easy ride you know!?
