wwii axis reenactment forum

I,ve had some calls re a winter battle at the new site so I am provisionally booking the above weekend for a Bastogne/Foy scenario
Please can interested parties post commitment/interest before I have to break Johns heart again!
Many thanks
Chris

oo yes i fancy this one ..i love winter scenario's

keep me in mind

I've asked for numbers from Frontline Association FJR9, I'll let you know once I know who can attend.

Regards,

Gary.

Right can I ask that anyone/unit wishing to attend this WINTER event please mark up your attendance/approx numbers on here so that I can start prepping further structures at site etc.
Please don't talk the talk if you cant walk the walk - I put a hell of a lot of time and effort into these so if you cant be arsed to come then don't tell me you are its common courtesy to communicate. I have learnt a lot from the summer battle in that
a.)small unit action is good
b.) dont organise a huge event as requested for "summer battling" as people then change their minds and dont turn up.
Rant over
If you want to attend the winter battle - most welcome
Weapons with John Oxlade - register hire asap please
I will require a 10 pound deposit per person wishing to attend (refundable upon attendance).
This is to ensure that I dont end up with (another) hefty landowner fee because of non attendance and non communication.
I've played it fair all these years but I'm afraid I will insist on this so that I don't get shafted.
We've had cracking battles before and the new site is awesome!!!Ask the Vietnam re-enactors (and german re-enactors who played VC!!)
Cheers
Chris
