Count Off in B.C./ Alb
 

Hi guys id like to get an actuall head count of WW11 airsofters who have their gear or are in the collection mode, and what your impression is?. Id like to know not only for my own curiousity, but for the chance of putting a game together in the future for a WW11 meet. For now just the west side of Canada and the North West U.S. In other words people who might actually be able to travel. Pics are always welcome >> I know your proud Doc 9th SS Panzer " Hohenstaufen"

i'm almost done my WW2 101st airborne impression

I'm almost done my Canadian Infantry impression.

I'm game, I just got my dot '44 uni set today and am slowly putting together a Waffen SS kit, no division as of yet. Looking for some '39 jackboots, A-frame and associated goodies, breadbag, shovel and carrier, just the basics any soldat needs to go into combat.

Working on a Fallschirmjager impression. Have Kar 98 and MP40. Picking up WE Luger....so well on my way.

Jeff what Canadian unit are you doing?? or have you figured that out yet?? Albertan let me know if i can send you in a direction for gear. Ah yes the 101st >> Thats a sweet kit up as well, Thompson 45 ?? Reenactorsstuff.com has a nice Para helmet for you rusty in the $99.00 Mark heavy steel. I got my M-39 there. Lots of cheap field gear and uniforms as well. Wheres Canal Flats??? Okanagan here.

I am not sure yet, still trying to find some damn trousers to fit me!

I've got webbing jacket and trousers and the default M1A1. Where abouts were you thinking of having this meet... ?

more importantly, . . . when?

Well Lets what what numbers and interest we can get, i dont want people travelling for hours to have 5 participants show up. Time wise obviously in the summer area more then likely during one of the long weekends to make it easier for time off. Lets get a count , then try and find a center point of travel with an area to play at where we wont get punted, i can see it now Nazis invade local area LOL!! If we can get the interest, then lets see if we can make it happen, id like nothing more then to see a full field Of WW11 Airsofters. doc

may-june is good for me, i'm doing army courses all summer

I'm getting my P-dot uniform togeather and am just getting started with the WW2 kit. I was wondering if you guys know what kit a soldier in the 21st Panzer Div.Afrika Corp. would have had and maybe post me a link to some pics or info on this. Thanks.

This is a very informative Aussie site:

Its been a while for a post here , hows everyone's kits coming along??? Im all ears for ideas to get peoples interest up for WW11 Airsoft in BC?. Id like to get us all at one field this year for at least one event, would probably be the best way to peak peoples interest to see a good turn out of us!! Doc

i m a loyal fan of WW2 in the lower mainland with holding so many rare ww2 airsofts.as mentioned above,we should hang out to know each other first then talk about the reenaction event!!

Hello all

i know it's an old post but im thinking about starting a WWII kit and I was wondering if there is anybody else doing WWII on Vancouver Island?

Nothing organized as of yet, but I'm 85% ready to roll. Need at least 3 or 4 more people from Southern AB area to post interest to get me to put forth any effort for this.

Loadout:

Tanaka Kar98k, Agm STG 44, Marushin MP40, WA Walther P38(Needs some fixens). HAVE GUNS WILL TRAVEL!!!

I know that match last year in Washington state I REALLY wanted to attend, but I was only starting to put my gear together.

I know next big organized game I will be doing what ever I can do to attend.

Just bumping this thread. A few months to go before spring. Enough time to get a kit together.

I'm still in Thunder Bay against my will, but I will be done University an' back in BC very soon.

Kit:
1942 German Infantry. 21. Infanterie-Division
Early War Canadian Infantry. Cape Breton Highlanders

Tanaka 98k(needs new paintjob)
Shoei STG44 AEG
Potatoe Mashers
Waffen SS M42 Infantry

I have a Black leather luger case for sell if someone's interested

OK...dumped the MP40 and the Kar 98. Have a Stg 44 inbound and am working on late war Fallschirmjager kit. I also have a field which we could hold an event on.:) Also....waiting for the AGM FG42 to come out.....my dream gun!

That sounds like something interesting. What was it now, 2200 acres if I remember correctly?

These guys do the FJ carry case for the STG44. Don't know how widespread its use was as it says it was an experimental design, it looks good though.

I'm interested in getting a bunch of German guns and some sort of German storm trooper gear but I'm pretty new to air soft and I wouldn't have a clue where to get proper gear.

ebay would be a good place for getting the gear... there are a few websites that you can consider using as well. www.militarytour.com

To do it right it is pricey.
