Which side will be doing the night time evasion stuff? I am guessing German. Having got all keyed up to 'escape' that weekend, this might be another o...

I treat all leather gear with dubbin, and tons of it. Usually put a fresh layer on after each game. Yes, you do need to let it dry a bit. Neatsfoot o...

That is exactly what I've done for Crete, except it is the hessian helmet cover off my postwar Mark V (also held in place with a helmet net). It is a ...

No, I'm going to head back on Saturday evening. Hopefully no blizzards this time I was also going to practice sleeping rough on Friday in preparati...

The photos reminded me, it was also great being able to usefully use our rifles with fixed (rubber) bayonets! Cheers Martin

Thank you for a good day out, another successful 'rifles only' game this time with the added dimension of lots of hand-hand combat. Single shot weapon...

That looks excellent and your webbing is nice and tight, not sloppy and slack. I have a lot less Y strap where it passes through the right hand loop ...

Uniform and rifle sorted. I need to remind myself how to get there and make my sandwiches, always the most important thing. An army marches on its sto...

At least it means I won't have to take off my M35 collar tabs, I've only just sewn them on! Cheers Martin

As above, I don't think there was any particular lack of interest, it is just a several months off yet. Anyway, looking forward to whatever you come...

Well Martin, seriously mate, as I said right at the beginning, with one of these flesh tone masks your entire face is protected including your nose an...

When I need serious teeth protection and wear my neoprene mask I wear it under my nose rather than over it to avoid fogging. The curse of shooting gla...

you will have transport Transport? luxury! I suppose a bren carrier is too much to hope for Marching is what British infantry do best though. Che...

Bugger, that is a real shame. It is such a nice site too. Thanks for all your hard work on this so far, I hope you manage to find another suitable ve...

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 els...

i decided to go for that one, as only a few weeks away from my first event, i decided i should stop faffing and get it, should do the job Well lets h...

I think SOF do both he groundsheet and the cape thingy but iirc they are quite pricey. being a cheapskate I use a Soviet plash palatka, roughly the r...

Sorted out my Russian kit for Pavlovs next week, week and also tried out my semi-Mediterranean British loadout for Crete. A certain adjustment of the ...

It is a gloriously ridiculous piece of headgear. I found having a huge cap badge (RE) helps make it a bit more beret like. Nice and warm in the evenin...
