Huertgen Forest Private Battle

Post by hanser »

Hi, been asked by Chris to post this private event up. full contact details and further info to follow.

Hi Guys well once again it is time to organise my annual winter Dukes Covert event I have a proposal and I would like a yay or nay on it.
The scenario would be a Huertgen forest/Hill 400 Rur valley theme.
I have just looked at a 70 acre pine forest site which we can do pretty much what we want to do with it -trench systems, bunkers etc which will be left if we wanna use site again.We can use ww2 vehicles throughout the forest
It can accommodate - well hundreds of us but will mean we won't trip over each other but we won't lose each other.
The site is 15 mins away from the Duke covert site.
Over to you guys as i'll have to get weaving on site prep
so
new site for this one- Stanby forest
Old site - dukes covert
(we will still run Dukes at Dukes from time to time)

Achtung, Achtung! The Fatherland needs YOU!!

Chris (Fritz) has a private battle organized, WE NEED YOU!!

All who are interested PLEASE contact Aristodemus on the WWII forum or andy.marsh at hotmail.co.uk (you know what I mean, pm me if confused).

Individuals, groups, those with vehicles are REQUIRED for this event!!

Think about it folks, for the last 2-3 years we have been screaming out for an event in the middle of the UK that is big numbers and a bloody good laugh 8) Well, this is the one!!

30 hours of WWII, night and day! Axis against Allies, you want it, we got it!

Make a note of the dates: 29,30,31st Oct 2010 Spanby wood nr the Op Duke site. Check out the WWII Forum for directions or pm me.

This is going to be one of the best events you have EVER taken part of, as long as you take part! There will be a command structure for the Germans, making the whole affair much more fun!!! :wink:

If you have the gear, and want to give the Allied reenactors a big scare, get involved...

:lol: They won't know what hit them! :lol:

Happy regards,

Gary.

:shock:

D*mn, that's a lot of nice stuff going on, on the wrong site of the big water... :wink:

I don't think I will get a lot of CDB's to this, but give me details and I will try to pull a little spähtruppe together.
JA from the Dutch side!

Well managed to log back on at last!!!
This is going to be BIG. There is a huge amount of interest on the pozzi forum.
So recap a few more details The site is 70 yes seven zero acres of pine forest
The German line will be fighting on 2 fronts
We will have trench systems,foxholes and bunkers already prepared.
Pyro is being sorted with some close on barages on both fronts.
We can use period vehicles - please pm me BEFORE you bring a TIGER or JAGDPANTHER!!!
This will be a 30 hr tac with frontlines and rear rest areas with both sides operating comms,field kitchens etc.
A lot of guys are putting a lot of hard work in on this to make it THE midlands best event for authenticity.
Its rare to get such an opportunity on private land these days and the MOD land is fraught with red tape and them messing you about - ask Pete S of the headaches he gets at PIP.
Post your interest/commitments here and if possible on the pozzi forum.
Anyone wanting to discuss I'll be at Kelmarsh or phone me on 07971 560249
All the best Chris
