Eeep! Ok...you got me there.... I know 4 Russian words. Da, Nyet, Vodka and Comrade. You win!

That's three words you know, Comrade is not a Russian word.
The word you want is товарищ (ta.VA.rishch). Back up to four now!

Very funny Brad

Get a hair cut. Short back and sides, long on top. If you have short hair already, at least remember to shave off sideburns and beards (unless you have a special affinity for your beard

Allied troops or Italians are slacker with the beard rule than the Germans so if you are doing Italian or Commonwealth troops, there is more scope for facial hair.

German mustaches are no wider than the top lip. Rare, but we will allow.

sorry, just felt the need to say that.

Do we want to have a photographer for the event? Do you have a spare person? You don’t need a uniform. You just need a camera.

I was thinking the same thing. Actually, I would love to have the whole thing filmed with a handy cam but don't know anyone with one

If anyone knows someone with a camera, maybe they could come along?

I think some of our social member friends might be coming along to watch the action (and our gear when we are actually doing the battle). Maybe one of them could take some pics?
