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.
