So how many people are wearing KD then? As its currently the only uniform I own at the moment thats me, just wondering if I'm going to stick out a little or not...I could be the distraction for ze Hun 
some mixture for sure.
It would seem so, Im crossing my fingers for a warmish day, though I'll pack my man up spray just in case its not 
not sure if "man up spray" is period, aerosols were far less common, i think they just used "lip stiffener" ,i think soldier of fortune sells it

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

I actually did laugh out loud
I'll be sure to get some, It'll go well with my " Brew up" kit; all nicely labelled "In case of Invasion"
You won't be alone in your kd's . I shall be rocking my shorts and longs socks !

I've got my KDs ready, just thinking about the KD shorts / BD top look thats very common in Crete photos.
Yes, I have seen a good mixture in photos, probably a good idea to bring the BD if youve got it, hmm.. maybe I can ask for a set for Valentines instead of chocolate, sure she'll be fine with that?
I think a few pople are going in KD or a mix of stuff. I will probably be in BD trousers and a jumper, although it partly depends on the weather. If it is pouring with rain and freezing cold I'll be in nice warm wools.
Wasn't going to bother with unit and formation signs.
Not particularly looking forward to brushing the chalk (white mud?) off afterwards. I've still got chalk on some stuff from last time at UCAP and the ground was frozen solid then.

KD Shorts and shirt for me... with a BD top as well if it's cooler.
Though I'll bring BD trousers, KD trousers, jumper and leather jerkin just in case,
Maybe a greatcoat as well, heh!
Oh and possibly a KD bush jacket.
I have the whole lot so may as well bring it. 
Yer Im generally the sort of person that will wear my khaki trench coat in cold weather anyway because its the warmest coat I have! Royal artillery, not dated, but I'm sure you lads could hazard a guess,
While were on the subject of KD, anyone got a good ways on making the kit look more sun bleached short of washing it a few times? There isn't much sun about to do it properly at the moment, in fact I think its snowing... 
I'll be wearing KD, i think tbh the more of us that do the better... seems a real shame to do a med/dessie type game and wear what we wear every event!
KD generally didnt have insignia as it was laundered so often it got destroyed. Anything you do put on really should be put on with poppers or slip ons.
Its going to be May at the game and the sites pretty sheltered so unless we have the worst may in history a greatcoat might be a little excessive (and impossible to feel any hits through).

I will be coming in kd with my bd blouse strapped to my small pack just in case it gets cold or starts pissing it down.
Would it be correct if I covered my helmet in mud when I get there instead of painting it tan? I have heard that it was done but I want a second opinion.
Mud will generally dry to a light tan and is a lot easier to get off than paint!
I'm just putting a hessian cover under a brown net on mine.

Ok thanks I'll go with mud, I did try a Hessian cover wore it for a day and bits of fluff kept getting in my eyes and on my contact lenses so they're not too practical for me.
Another question lads,
I have the option of both vertical or horizontal fore grip on my Thompson, though the barrels not finned, which would be right for Crete? with my barrel not being finned i was thinking horizontal but i find vertical more comfortable.

Thanks McVickers, i'll bring both and see how i feel on the day..maybe horizontal, it is on red orchestra, and we all know video games are a great reference 
We seem to have (currently anyway), 28 British booked on for this, an entire platoon!
I was going to bring my Bren along and I wondered if anyone else was bringing any support weapons so we can have more realistic weapon mix? For Crete though, perhaps one MG per platoon is about right....
