Here are the rules for the day!
Rules of Engagement Being that the German forces are trying to build relations with the local population in Belarus, all civilians not directly seen as a threat are to be left alone. Only clearly armed Partisans are to be engaged. All civilians may be searched for documents and weapons but constant and threatening searches could turn the local population against you. If possible partisans are to be taken alive for questioning by the kommandant.
Any engagement within 10 ft a safety kill should be called
Any blank fire engagements will have a 25 ft safety kill range.
Exploding and none exploding ordnance have a 10 ft kill radius. If a grenade lands inside a room within one of the buildings everyone in that room is considered a casualty. While the Bolshevik houses are primitive and without proper roofing we are to pretend as though the roof is present. Therefore grenades can only be tossed in through doorways and windows. No lobbing grenades over the walls!
While in the village all weapons other than support weapons are to be kept on semi auto only. If your weapon only fires auto keep your shots to short bursts. This is for the safety of the other villagers as well as to conserve much needed ammunition for the front!
Medic Rule Every player will be given 2 bandages at the start of the game. They are to keep these bandages with them for the duration of the day. When a player is hit, they are to fall down (acting is encouraged!) and call for a medic. Any teammate can medic their fallen comrade by wrapping one of the bandages of the wounded man around their arm and holding onto them for three minutes. Contact must be kept for the entire three minutes and once time has elapsed the player is back in the fight. After a player has used both of their bandages and is hit a 3rd time, the player must lay dead in place for 5 minutes before falling back to their main base. Once at the main base the player must wait five more minutes before returning to combat. Once they have waited their three minutes they may remove their two bandages and may use them again in the field.

Come on guys, let's get some momentum going here. This thread has been awfully quiet since the posting of the new dates. It is still the same cool event that was planned before but just on a new date. There are lots of cool props and lots of cool scenarios. Let's not let this one slip by, get your registrations in and let's get some conversation going here. This is probably the last chance we have to hold an overnighter before the winter sets in. Surely we do not want to end the year without one more awesome reenactment. I will start by posting a picture of a recent Troop tent we purchased for our group. This is from Tentsmiths and they make excellent quality period tents. Should fit right in for this Eastern Front game and make Gerry proud Attachments:

Cryonics, how many will that sleep? If you do not need room for gear and all it will fit 6 cots in comfortably. If you want room for gear and room to move around, 4 cots is ideal. I plan on putting 4 cots to give us room for all our gear and walk around room.

I'll try and get our guys to attend this event. It will be hard because of what happened with the pushing back of the event. But, I think we can get at least four again. Burt and I will send in our pre-pay registration soon.

German forces continue to grow in this region of Belarus as Partisan actions in the area have intensified. Command has begun work on their plan to deal with the growing Partisan problem. Command is currently working to gather more German forces in the area in order to effectively deal with the Partisan threat.

After speaking with Rapture yesterday, he has a lot of great scenarios planned. If you can make this event, MAKE IT! You'll be missing the boat on this one.
We need more Germans. Are you guys just running scared of Mother Russia's fighters. Just the thought of us makes you quake in your boots uh? Will you stay and fight or just goose step your way back to the Fatherland?
We are laughing in the face of the "Master Race".
So, come on Gents, let's get those registrations in.

Special Announcement The Event is on Schedule and registrations are slowly coming in. Due to a new development with the owner of the field, it is imperative that I bring this to the attention of all who have NOT registered, but intend to do so. The owner of GZA has set forth NEW rules/terms for renting his fields. In order to secure the field for a two day event, he has asked me to provide him with a Registration list that is complete (or as close as I can). He needs to have a certain number guaranteed to allow us to use the field (for a two day event) so it will make financial sense for him. If not, our event would be Saturday and partially Sunday with a departure time of no later than 11AM. Initially he requested a non-refundable deposit, but after reasoning with him, he and I came to the agreement that a registration/attendance guarantee is more suitable. He further explained that he has a large turnout for "open play" on Sundays and a low turnout by us or even a cancellation would hurt him business wise. Obviously this makes sense and we should all be understanding. All we need to do is to commit to playing and register. I'm asking you for all your help, to step up and register. Prepayments are also encouraged as discounts will apply, but it is imperative to get the registrations in within the next week if we want this event to stay a two day event and not a fall back Saturday and Sunday morning only event. This event will happen, but it's up to all of you. If you intend to register, REGISTER NOW. Thank you all for your attention and cooperation. Rapture

Let's not dilly dally here Gents.
We need to get off our duffs and register. Let's make this happen. It's been 5 months since Day of Days. We should all be dying to get back on the field of Battle.
Don't waste time. Get it done!
