deciding what to wear well here is where to chat all about it
as its stands the 3 zugs are
1: Pioneer squad reforming ? ? ? ( though upto your commander not me lol )
2: Generic (would prefer this to stay that way for folks that don't have the kit to change to a specific one)
3: is a group from stoke way and will be SS i think
Wanted body guard for the commander of Zug 2, I was abandoned by my Zug at the last game and became a prisoner. This will not happen again!
well just given you a decent 2nd in command , just dont trust him with a map
and i am sure they left you by accident honest
OY! I hadn't got my glasses! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
I will be sporting the summer fashion of the lost german paratrooper !

good job you are with Tin then
Looks like Zug 1 will be Gebirgsjager
i suspect tin may swap to yours then as he playing gerrie to use his Gebirgsjager outfit
Ja!
(That about covers my understanding of German with the added exceptions of words used in the Commando 'comics')
So my 2nd in command lasted less than a day!
I also need some one who can read the mission cards and carry the mission camera when I pass it to him rather than leave it behind on the table
I've booked on for the generic zug. How generic is generic
I plan doing a Hermann Goring Div Jaeger - wool fliegerbluse, LW tropical trousers and planetree helmet cover. I think the impression would work within the timeframe of the event, and it gives me an excuse to wear the fliegerbluse that's been gathering dust in my wardrobe for the last two years. Will that be acceptable, or will I stick out like the proverbial ?
as we say any german outfit is fine
Well, depending on the weather,, it may be captured KD trousers and field Grau jacket,, all depends if I can get a summer wear together before August.
"Will you stop talking about the war!!"
"What, you started it!"
"We did NOT start it!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."
Zug 1 GJ question, what is everyone wearing uniform wise for the event to keep us all as a cohesive unit?

I believe most of us will be in feild greys with putees, Bergmütze, green litzen, Edelweiss badge on arm. There may be the odd windjacke and anorak which will be good as a mixture of kit is a good look for Gebirgs, as its the putees and bergmütze that give the iconic look. Some will also have coils of rope etc to add to the look
Cool, just checking, I've got field greys, hat, webbing with mp40, putties and associated badges and shoulder boards, just need to source brown boots now, just going to go for brown leather hiking boots, think I may have some rope in the shed.

Same here but I may stick to my low hobnails, I kinda lke em.
Got the Bergmütze though.
Might get a few bits more too, depending on funds as other projects are eating into my softing cash....
No need to get to hung up on footwear, any form of low boot/walking boot covered at the top by putees will be fine
I was going to wear my tropicals and Bergmutze. Will I be shunned?
