Yeah - but overe "There" we can't...... So in turn over "There" they can do Nerdy mechy stuff - but here it's fluffy and light Kinda like the equivalent of a Sven Hassel book!!!

All except Bryn of course who will continue to clog us up with mechboxes and buckram and rubbers and daft messy about things.... Instead of going over there and getting professional help!!!!

(Me? I just took the thing out the box. stuck a battery in it and pulled the trigger - It worked. good weekend - toy back in box!)

No - I shall buy a new one!!!!

And who are you going to ask to put new gears in your TOP MP40 when you shred them ?

OK

Been reenacting for about ten years now, thinking about doing a bit of airsoft aswell. any sugestions?

You could do worse than start here.

Cheers mate
Have had a look and registered on the forum, looks like there is a lot going on with this.

There is. The lines between re-enacting and airsoft are becoming blurred. Some dont like the idea but its happening.
I like the idea. replica weapons that remove the 'i got you' rubbish from battles, at least at sub machine gun ranges.
OOOH! Replicas? Not real guns popping blanks? So all those MGC MP40's and dragon guns and other stens are not replicas?

so when are you northern monkeys doing one of these things next then ?

Depends on what you call "northern", really...

Comrades In Arms and related games are often in the midlands, as a central point for most people - I am used to having to travel 3-4 hours to most games. (I thought I was a bit nuts, but then I realised that footie fans do it every week!) However, they've also done a couple in Wales, and a couple on the south coast. The most northerly one to date will be on July 5th, somewhere in Yorkshire - don't ask me where; anything more than a mile in from the coast is up north to me.

It will be set in France 1940 - http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2 ... .php?f=107

Anything above the M25 is "northern " for me

I`ve been looking at the ex site one in wales end of May ( got to clear it with the Mrs as its our wedding anniversary ) .... so I feel some smooth talking coming up

Not entirely sure of the rules in this ..paintball you know you`ve had it by the large pink blob on you ...how can you tell you`re "dead" if the bbs ping off your kit

Yes, you generally feel it. Other than that, if someone else sees you hit, then they'll tell you. It's all based on honesty, and most of the WWII players are a very good and honest bunch. I'm going to the ex-site one myself, probably as Fallschirmjäger. It is a good large site with lots of varied terrain.

A 24-32 hour Airsoft/Living History event is getting closer. Working closely together, with CiA who have pioneered and dare I say perfected WWII airsoft - and the WWII airsoft community who are rapidly adopting many re-enactment traits (mainly positive I might add!) then a Friday - Sunday event is taking shape.

RIFLES will be very useful items to obtain - SMGs (MP40 etc) will be mainly the province of NCOs and assault squads and if th4 MG42 appears in time will be assigned to Zugs as per regs....... Of course details may and probably will change - Look to end of Sept, early October 2009 - but get ready, this is gonna be living in the field as per private battles but with aded eye protection and weapons that fire a projectile..... and realistic ammunition levels.............

Consider this a preliminary warning order.

Details to follow on a seperate thread.
