Heaven & Hell have just finished an exhausting but rewarding Tactical Training Weekend at our training area in Wexford. Once again, airsoft was used in the exercise componenets of the weekend with historical loadouts to enhance realism.
We were joined by our friends in Komp. 12 (WHLA) so it was great to see so many FJR6 members together again.
The scenario was based in Normandy in late '43 when the newly formed FJR6 conducted a series of wargames in the St. Lo. area os Normandy in preparation for the expected invasion. This wargame centred on a village straddling a strategic bridge which was the objective for both elements.
Saturday began with an exercise brief by O/Feld. Buechner and both sides reached their start points at 1000hrs.
Komp. 13 pushed hard for the village and secured both it and the bridge. The defenders managed to hold out until noon, fighting off several counterattacks but were froced to withdraw suffering casualties and low on ammunition while Komp. 12 secured then high ground, then the bridge.
Re-grouping, Komp. 13 launched a series of counterattacks, which involved wading the river in several locations and flanked the defenders, recapturing the bridge and the village in the afternoon.
The exercise ended at 1630hrs.
Feldpost finally caught up with the Kompanies and was distributed before an exercise de-brief and dinner.
Sunday began with a breakfast cooked by O/Gefr. Holztmann and a series of Tactical exercises were conducted including clearing an urban environment of US Paratroopers.
We broke camp at lunchtime, tired, dirty but exhilarated.
Thanks also to O/Gefr. Griger for his impressive Drop Container and fully working airborne mortar replica which uses 7.92 licenced blanks.
Komp. 13 is now ready for 2012!!
Horrido!

Yep. One of our guests. We do try to keep the weaponry in the Airsoft component period correct...the MP5 was a spare (due to a malfunction) carried by a member of another group who were our guests.GD,obergrenadier wrote:Do my eyes decieve me or is there an MP5 being carried in the ranks??
