no links, you wouldnt have heard of it as my btn was chosen to trial it about 3 weeks ago and we are in touch with the supplier who is willing to give us all free samples. My contact will have them all waiting for us when i get back off leave. Darkchild

Have you lost weight? Very slick loadout, as always. Its only just occured to me to ask you this but do you skirmish or are you more of a collector? Darkchild

I will, i dont get off leave til 21st of April though so it'll be a while til i can get them up. Darkchild

yeah, dont ask me why but the first production run of new stuff is nearly always made in temperate, even though we are fighting 2 wars in the desert! Army logic sucks. I guess the material is more plentiful or something. Darkchild

well my unit is getting them this year but thats mainly because we are part of spearhead and as such have gone up in the priority list for kit issue. The rest of the infantry will probably end up getting them next year. I wouldnt be surprised if units in Iraq/Afghan already have them in desert variety. Darkchild

wait til you get hold of the new temperate DPM ACU cut trousers and shirt that should be coming online this year. Im getting mine issued next month, i cant wait! (being spearhead Btn has its privileges) Darkchild

Me, too! since the temperate UBACS came out its all i have been wearing. I will post some pics of my Mp5 loadout when i next get to a game. Darkchild

nice beard! Darkchild

Holy cr*p that one's even better looking! Thanks you guys. Darkchild

I like this one a lot, do you have a URl to anywhwere that sells it? Darkchild

Hey colwombat, what top rail do you use for your MP5, and where can I get one? Darkchild

found this yesterday, from when we were doing some shooting, pre Telic 10. note how the guy next to me treats his rifle far too roughly, and gets ridiculed for it. (him and the cameraman hate each other) Darkchild

hey dont knock it, i watched the SAS chicken wing for 4 months in the palace! I have no idea why they do that. Darkchild

Dont think my time in section 8 was ever documented with photos. Except this one. Unfortunately i have none with the rest of the guys. Darkchild

ooh, nice. When i was in recce plt we had a NZ lance Jack attached to us for a couple of months and he had one of those. Couldnt get him to sell it to me Darkchild

even though police are my natural enemy, your team's loadouts are excellent. Darkchild

Track bashing is where you have to put your tank track back on after it has fallen off (or change the track pads) which is made of extremely heavy steel links. This involves letting all the grease out of the rear ram, breaking the track by un screwing the nut and knocking the track pin out. You then work the track apart, drag the whole thing over the support rollers, then with a lot of vehicle wiggling, get the thing to catch onto the front drive sprocket. You then have clamp the track back together, find the mating angle (which is the fun part, as the link will only join back together at a

heh, you wont after you have actually worked with them. Enjoy track bashing in the field in winter, you will never want to go near them again! Darkchild

Get issued as many bombs as you can, then stuff them in any pouch with a space. They now issue a 40mm bomb bandolier which generally gets chopped to bits and attached to your LBE in various ways, the most popular being cable tying it onto your osprey loops. Darkchild

lol, me too! I was going to make one this weekend. Darkchild

as your loadout is imitating a Brit squad in the field, dont wear twisters at all. Tie your drawstrings low and loose over your boots to look more authentic. And tuck the excess scrim material into your jacket, dont have it flapping about the back. Also, you could do with green taping all your loose webbing straps plus your helmet adjustment straps. Darkchild

Alright dude, i havent seen you in ages! I was down SPECOPS the other week, Stu and H were there, was expecting to see you too. Looking forward to SPECOP's new woodland site, hopefully see you there when its opened up. Darkchild EDIT: thanks for the UBACS info Tom, im now 50 odd quid worse off

ranger beads/pace counter. How big is your local site?

why have you only blacked out your eyes on a few of the pics? Darkchild

Dutch field cap ftw! I always wear mine, on pretty much every skirmish. @tom lawson: where did you get a DPM UBACS from? ive been looking for one for ages! Darkchild
