Hi all, check out the footage below, taken last week in Holland on our 9 day living histroy trip.
We had 3 days of being shadowed by a Group of reenactors from Germany/Italy and Holland..the MG42 you hear in this footage is in fact a Gas gun firing , something that we all disbelieved until we saw it in action...
Pip Pk next April will be based on Elbe Operation...allied forces will have the Sherman and I am in the process of tracking down German Armour...now. :shock:

As discussed Pete,

Potentially German armour attending your fine event. :twisted:

Something big enough for the Allies to actually have a chance of hitting,.. :lol: bless em,... some of those 30.cals where firing up into the trees last gig , :roll: ...poor lads must of thought they where still in the jungle ! .... no Japs in any trees at Pip Park that I can remember ! :lol:

now let the pre gig fighting banter begin !

Blut und Ehre !!

...also a chance to get this thread going again... 8)

Hi all,
Can those who are thinking of going to Pip Pk please contact me via PM about having a disclaimer sent, No one can just turn up on the day, Pip Pk is and always been invite only purely to keep the uniform standards up and stop the weird beards from coming along.

Manny Trainor has agreed to run the Axis side of things with Richard Stome as 2IC (GD Fusiliers)..
Nelz, just waiting on what your doing with the Pzr 3 before I start the scenario...let me know when your sorted mate.
ALL cars will be parked up at HUT D on the "Grassy Knowel" where we have been for years, last years experiement back fired with too many cars infiltrating into the combat zone... :shock:
March 1st is cut off to receive the disclaimers and site fees...there is again an international feel with 16 members of the French group coming over for the event,Two from Finland as well!.. Unfortunatley the Crazy Dutch 116th cant make it as they are doing their own event in April, Good luck...Jelmar....Pics please!.
Kind regards Pete

Concerning the Club Mobile at Pipingford Park Tactical Battle in April ,.... Believe it or not, some jokers have been ordering Bacon sarnies FOR THE EVENING MEAL...instead of Coq Au Vin...I am sure no one on this Forum would be so bloody stupid...but as I am posting on all forums to correct the misinfo...contact Ian on his email...
isbottomley@btinternet.com
Coq Au Vin is for the SATURDAY EVENING MEAL £2.50
and
Bacon Sarnies £2 are on offer SATURDAY MORNING AND SUNDAY MORNING.
And yes you will need you own irons!.
:shock: Pete

Hi, All is progressing well on this, Can those who have not sent in their disclaimers and site fees please do...I am working on the scenario and its quite hard to write a scenario.... when although people say they are coming actually past events have proven its pretty pointless doing anything until I know who is and who is not coming...so quicker you get these docs to me the better the event will be for you...
Concerning a UK National tactical...event..,If we dont start to get some more events going this hobby will just become a public show /paste table hobby ..with a beer tent in the back ground...Now we all like a beer,.... but this is just getting boring..the same shows each year.......is there enough people in the hobby to warrant one?...Swynnerton again...that way we could have tracked (rubber only) tanks/Hal;f track M8s etc..
I have been in contact with MOD and Landmarc..there are many sites throughouit UK that can be used for this hobby...obviously Public shows rule and Private tacticals are now winter only...however...If I can find a small site costs wise...which month of Sping/Summer or August would be best for a private "summer" tactical as many have never done one when trees andf vegatation are in full leaf...quite a different undertaking than a winter tac I assure you.
