Hmmm, possibly it'll slip undetected, but you should know they (club commanders of Epocha Association) check every participants kit now before the battle - especially for a biggie like Nikolskoe. And in recent years the association rules have become really strict about wearing helmets when there's big pyros on the field.

You're probably better off asking the commander of the 4th Polizei if he or someone in his club has a spare they're willing to lend.

we are not on feild when pyro is going off
and after what i saw of health and safety from the previouse years ..well


the public where closer than us to the pyro

and i did also see many russky not wearing helmets
but soft hats must have been around fifty percent......

if it is a problem then i am more than willing to drop out of this battle if they are going to start a series of health and safety rules built around wearing helmets..
when i saw many many diferent issues
like tanks almost running over people on ground after the drivers decide to go elsewhere
but hey lets not ruin this trip ..i think we in england need confirmation on kit

im not willing to take over origional helmets to be confiscated
or kit
as gebirgs we seemed ok two years ago
