OK chaps and Chapesses.

There will be No stopping for lunch, troops will eat in the field on some down time so you will need to carry into the field food and drink to survive the day.

There will be time to brew up without fear of being shot and I certainly will be brewing kaffee and breaking out my customary Cheese sausage and biscuits.

OH Brits please try and have Tea and Tiffin but leave someone on sentry duty Not like at Crete where we waltzed around the corner to find the entire Allied force sitting in the sun drinking tea. Its just not cricket you know. :rofl:

We have yanks to stand guard during Tea Breaks. We may need them as fielders when we stop for cricket though :D

I've got to ask what actually happened here. Looks halerious whatever it is

The brits where falling back with a telephone wire, trying to continue to slow the advance of the Germans.

Most of the Brits had been shot and were helping the wounded back to the CP. When we arrived one of the brits in charge said "hold them off" and waved me away.

But I replied "They are right on top of us!" to which he got up peered round the corner of the track to find several germans holding Mp40's at his face. :slap: :giggle:

Haha excellent. Is the photo staged or did you all surrender? I wasn't aware that surrendering was an option in airsoft

surrender is always an option in WW2 airsoft , it's part of the role play , remember most soldiers wanted above all to live through the experience not die in a hopeless last stand .

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

Been thinking about lunch, a favourite topic of mine. Now bearing in mind this will be my first event as a yank I've been looking on wiki at C-rations and trying to figure the modern equivalent that's going to be reasonably easy to do in the field. I don't want to faff around heating up a meal, I'll be over joyed if I manage a slurp of coffee, so looking at spam and crackers so far. Anyone got any other hints tips or ideas?

I've been thinking of crackers and some sort of patté to go with and a small chocalote bar. That's what I had for lunch with today's ration packs and I don't know if they've really changed a great deal

Very nice. :good:

I've had no time to do any of this nice stuff for this one, not even had time to sort kit and charge batteries :roll:

I'll be there as early as possible tomorrow morning. :good:

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. 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
