  1. Two ways were common. The standard way is to attach the top clips of the poncho roll to the small d rings that hang of the bottom rear centre of the belt and the each side clip to the corresponding ring on the ammo pouchs (this also pulls the pouchs nicely back). This solution can bang on the back of your backside a bit and additionally some guys aquired a second poncho roll for NBC kit. To fit a second one is a real pig and requires fixing the top clip to the back of the kidney pouches and the side clips to the top of the ammo pouches. You can almost see how the top roll attach
  2. Thanks for the kind words, i'd forgotten about writing that one. I remember being quite angry at the tim though!

  3. Much obliged. Thanks for having me guys, i hope I can help this forum continue to be the best.
  4. Pics from our WWII fieldcraft and sniping training day, instruction by a former British Army sniper. Just a couple from the day. Once again, thanks to Pete for all the hard work he put in and to all our 'students' who gave 110%at a very arduous day with only a short (in the field) brew up at lunch!
  5. Mate if you read this in time go to the AI stand, we've four or five Zahal slings for sale cheap... If 'i'd have read this before going and coming back i could have brought one back for you!
  6. RE nettle and brambles you just get on with it. My knees were a bit bloody by the end of the day but didnt really hurt... diving prone was pt luck but to be fair its a very heavy and thick but of kit so unless you get caught on the esposed knee its tougher than trousers. Squatted on some sharp twigs once but meh.. we're re-enactors and the Gordons did it in the battle for France so it was good to see how tough those guys were fighting for weeks in kilts and BDs... Unlikely to do that loadout again mainly because there are very few early war games and after dunkirk kilts virtual
  7. Glad you appreciate em, thought it was a little different fighting in kilts and wool battledress in July... hardcore lads us...
  8. Actual skirmishing in kilts at an early war game this weekend. Even with heavy brambles and nettles we were fine, few scratches on the knees but no worse than you get *through* BD trousers some times. However the kilt, kilthose and puttees kept out all of nature... We did expose our selves a but when diving prone though....
  9. Third guy is former British Army too...
  10. Guys I used to teach 'compliments and salutes' to recruits. Its to show no harmful intent... its in Queens Regulations honestly.
  11. From last week or so's training day.... We portray a British glider infantry section (We have a polish trooper along too for the observant!) - all weapons are airsoft... even the mortar!
  12. Ah cool, thanks! Heres a few more. yith: Nige: 2" mortar (yes it works too...) Me
  13. Shoot n scoot Lee Enfield No4. Sort of the team default rifle. original wwii woodwork with recast receiver and fore sight.
  14. Scaleyback from our team, who also uses iron sights. We've about 27 members in the PBI now and nearly every rifleman uses iron sights. Pics from an old team event.
  15. I'm a trained infantryman and I know how useful binos or scopes can be in real war. Playing a game of airsoft i just find them totally unnecessary personally. Most people have them because they think they look cool. If you can do an APWT with iron sights then you really dot need one for 50 metres, equally few UK sites have unbroken lines of site for 100s of metres (and the ones that do are pretty rubbish - try skirmishing on sennybridges trench network on the barren hill... pointless.) nice bit of slack skylining by me there too.... still be a ###### pic if i didn'
  16. Much better to be honest, i find scopes in airsoft pretty ridiculous. Effectively you have a 60 metre range smoothbore pea shooter. You dont need a scope for 800metre + shots etc. If you cant hit something with iron sites at 50 metres then i'd feel pretty safe playing against you. I only have one weapon with a scope on it and that my sa80 as an infantry impression just looks wrong with iron sights. However i find the 4x susat rubbish and tend to use the EBS on top as often as not. at somepoint i want to get a 1x susat copy of some sort so it looks right but doesn't give me rid
  17. Fantastic looking game! Top marks lads.
  18. Awesome, could you share some of those pics as we based our old 'red star battalion' team loadout partly on this photo.
  19. My point is that its just as easy to make those 'high wear' spots camo as to put on olive patches. I also dont get why its not reversible when the originals were. Seems you have to buy two partizan suits to get the same use as you do from a 1930s german one.
  20. I just cant understand why they dont make the patches in the same materiel, if the germans could make reversible suits of it that fully coveredwhile being carpet bombed you'd think the CIS would be able to match that.
  21. The partizan camo is loosely based on this: Although i'm curious as to the large pieces of flat olive on it, is it mainly on places that are covered by LBE or other personal kit?
