Back on track with the props.....
Given that we are going to be having a training and maneuvers bit in the morning for the Yanks I have an idea.
It's the combination of a bit I saw in BoB the other day and the first exercise we did on Sunday, therefore:
Jay - Can you bring your plastic barbed wire please?! 
I was asking him permision to use the pyos we wanted - not for him to supply them - critical difference.
This is why I wanted a reply to everything in writing - there are no come-backs on phone calls.,...
Hmm, I suppose after the experience this weekend that would be of use. 
Can you post what you asked him about , I'll give him a bell .
Here is the Word doc (which he has downloaded)
OK, I have the measurements.
44" Chest, 40" Waist, 62 head......I assume that's 62 cm!!! 
Will trawl the shops at the weekend.
Hi chaps.
OK, the metal canisters have come in pretty expensive at £117 for fabrication only and that's a special price. Apparently the cost of the metal is driving prices sky high.
I've said that we couldn't do that so we should ask Che for fibreglass options.....either that or go to Phoenix after dark and nab all that galvanised ducting!
Sorry it's taken so long.
S
£60 each ain't that bad - but yes, sort it with Che, you might ask him the best material for construction since he can do anything!
£117 each!!!!!!
Will PM Che Now.

Those sizes will be a naggy firt on me 
Er so if Joshs bloke is a no show I can step in , although my heads more a 59 /60
Spoke to Major .
He's up for playing Churchill and will sort himself out with a costume(I offered that we would refund him) 
I'll pick him up on and bring him down 
He alos offered to loan the vickers if we would use it , told him we'd have a think .
Cool beans, just the job.
Re the Vickers - it's a brute and it doesn't work very well! (Well, it didn't at the PBI thing). I've asked Pete and Webby to bring their 50/30 cals which will be enough for gameplay.
Could we mount the Vickers on Churchill's transport and have a rule that vehicles can fire out but no firing into vehicles - or is that asking for incoming fire regardless?
The Vickers is really heavy , securing onto a moving vehicle would take more than a few bungies.
HS can you go back to Josh and let him know we've got a Churchill just so we don't much him around more than neccessary ?

Bad idea. That will cause *serious* frustration amongst those who aint allowed to fire back...

Aye, I was trying to find a way to use it, Andy will cry if you don't let him bring it - he is so chuffed with it yet it's so impractical! Best be firm I suppose ....
