Australia has moved to Daylight Savings and accordingly out Time Zones have bomb burst into Daylight Saving time (since not all states adopt it). By now most readers will already know who BG ANZAC is, so I'll put the information relevant to this week in first, then background, etc. If you are new to the Forum, feel free to read the entire post. IMPORTANT: As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment. Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant. If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask: a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media). b.

After the last two weeks of "test and adjust" regarding the time, BG ANZAC is running another Sunday afternoon activity this weekend, but commencing slightly later at 0900 GMT (1900 for East Coast Australia). This will not be the usual Teach / Discuss followed by Application of the Thursday nights. This will be more free flowing and similar to the "Ad Hoc" sessions held by others, but at a more "Australian Friendly" timing. Your Local time: Click on this link for the Local time in your part of the world Count down: Time remaining until Meeting start IMPORTANT: As a serving Officer, I am not allowed to make "public comment" about topics without clearance. This is why my signature block says what it says to cover written comment. Recorded audio on YouTube = "Public Comment", especially if I were to express a personal opinion (without knowing someone was recording). In addition recording people's voices in Australia is illegal without their permission or a Warrant. If you want to record a session, ASK! We maybe about fit you in (I maybe able to play the OPFOR, etc.). If you don't ask: a. Expect me to ask you to remove the YouTube (or other media). b. Don't be too surprised if you aren't welcomed back. As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome. Current Standard: 4.159 (either download from scratch or download and install 4.156, then apply the 4.157 patch and the 4.159 patch) Given that its "Casual", I don't assume people are coming. If you intend to come please post here or in the Calendar entry, or email me no later than (NLT) 12 noon on the day: Deadline to let me know you are coming If no one responds, I'll post an entry here cancelling it by NLT 1230. Anyway we'll see how it goes.

Agenda: If you did not attend last week, arrive a little early so we can get you the required map package. Based on the recent sustained good attendance, we are embarking on a more structured approach (only sustainable if the attendance is maintained). Planned Agenda: 1st Thursday: Teach / Discuss a topic (Attack, Defence, Convoy Escort, Reserve Demolition, OPs, ...) using a scenario / map as the basis for discussion. As to what we cover, that will be will be determined by the response to the related email "newsletter" for this Thursday sent to regular attendees. 2nd Thursday: First volunteer develops a plan for the tactical problem and we see how they go. There will be a brief debrief at the end looking at strengths / weaknesses of their solution, which the person COing the next week is free to incorporate into their solution. 3rd Thursday: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 4th Thursday: We play the same scenario with a different CO (each able to improve / adjust their plan based on their predecessor). 5th Thursday (if there is one in a given month): Q & A - You need to supply the questions or a "player's choice" determined by responses here / to email. As always, visitors (apart from one individual) / first timers / spectators are welcome.
