D-Day June 7-13, 2010 IMPROVEMENTS AT OMAHA & CAEN CONTINUE Improvements at the field are taking place in many locations but in particular at Omaha Beach and Caen. At Omaha the Wetworkz team helped install a new sound system for special effects. A new air and paint station is being put in at the bottom of the beach, and new ―dry‖ boats are the next priority. At Caen another 6-8 buildings have been built and sprayed with concrete. The look and feel is that of a real bombed out French town. The detail on the buildings is 1st class, with each new building being better than the last. More buildings are planned. The buildings sit on both sides of a new ―street‖ leading towards the new Sword Beach. The battle for Caen will be unlike any previous years. Photos of Caen are on page 4 Caen is starting to feel like an urban training, military MOUT site. If urban house to house fighting is your thing, the British/Canadian Commonwealth units are still open. Request them when you register. Drop in with their 6th Airborne, land with Infantry or Marines, or roll with their Armour.
„Unit Choice‟ Registration closes But requests for specific units still available The ability to register and automatically choose your unit has ended, but many units are still open. When you register, be sure you request the unit of your choice and every effort will be given to make that happen. It won’t last for forever, but in most cases you will still get the unit of your choice. Just don’t wait too long and lose your ability to get into ―your‖ unit
D-day Fever Outbreak Spreads OK D-Day Fever: The onset of the fever usually takes hold about 3 months before the D-Day event. Sometimes annoying to self and others. Your mind is D-Day, but can only be satisfied by being there. Symptoms: Packing 2 months or so in advance. Buying new paintball gear. Finding every excuse to get time off work to go. And a few others. Note: Fever usually caught after first exposure to event. Fever is not curable or fatal.
