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
Yep yep! dotted line please!

As above!
I have a small skewer hidden in the collar of my jumping jacket, and a razorblade in my gaiter, as well as my knife.

You mean Factory Workers Militia?
Not a problem although we should have lots or Russian uniforms, field gear and helmets available for loan

Personal reasons. I'm a Pole, I will not put on a Nazi or a Soviet uniform. A regular guy caught up in the war is someone I can identify with however.
I'll see if I can get my Kar98k to shoot at 350fps or below.

oo, workers militia.
Got to think of a coat one is happy to get a gunked up with Portsmouth-White-Mud if I remember the site right?
Should be fairly easy to get something similar in a charity shop or at a flea market

Ah bum, already booked for that weekend. One of my favourite sites too.
Militia is fine, but you would of course be under the command of the Russians, and not a "free agent".
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
oo, workers militia.

It's dug out of the chalk cliffs, how "gunky" it gets depends on how much rain there has been as it filters through the rock. I don't think it's any muckier than the UCAP Sandpit site TBH.

Awesome! Count me in fellas, probably be my only weekend this year so i'm not missing this one!
Oo Oo! Sounds/looks awesome! Here's where I make good on my resolution so, sign me up!
I must confess I was originally a bit dubious as I am not the worlds greatest fan of CQB however the site looks more like the Drakelowe, so I am up for this one. Looks like my Russian kit is going to earn its keep this year Do you sleep in the tunnels or are there buildings or something? (if not pitching a tent).
Given that this is in November, would I be right in thinking that Josh isn't going to be a doing a November game? I can do one November game but not two. Given that it is early in November, I'm also guessing nothing is happening in October either. Some clues from organisers would be handy for diary planning

Clues? Josh slated a date for end of Nov/beginning December - but this was floated November last year and as yet no plans have been forthcoming to other organisers...
Anyway, UCAP tunnels is an awesome site, very atmospheric and the walls are soaked with history and not to be missed. I'd say the open day games could be classed as CQB but AGS are playing the site with ammo restraint and objective-led and tension-filled game play (as have all WW2 games run so far at this site). So a confined space and not an open woodland for sure but not CQB as you would know it! Even sleeping in the tunnels is an experience - no tents!
This is a great site, just down the road from me and on my birthday too, couldnt ask for more, sadly it looks like I'll miss it as my other half has already arranged a trip for that day, and I just cant see how I can square this particular circle. Must the be first and only time I'll wish I was down a Russian sewer rather than out drinking.
Anyway, UCAP tunnels is an awesome site,
Thanks Dave.
