Showing up in your jeans and sneakers won't cut it

If you can't pull off a believable resistance look, might as well stay home with the kiddies
I organize entry level games at home so that we can recruit players, this is not a game to introduce players to the hobby but to bring in more advanced players.
I agree with the person who suggested to make a list of minimum items to do an impression for a particular unit so that the rules are clear to everyone. It would also be interesting to enroll people into units. We are going to have a ton of 101st band of brothers, might as well group them into a unit
Creating units will give a target to strive for and will give some cohesion to our game.
This brings me to the dark side of this hobby. I play WW2 Airsoft because I enjoy it, I enjoy my gear and your gear but mostly I enjoy the people
I don't enjoy the guy's who think they are the "gear police"!
Not pointing at anyone here but I know these guy's exist because I see them at other people games all the time. I don't enjoy the Cliff Clavens of Airsoft who think they can have a negative attitude because they have this or that or ATF instead of China made etc. I don't enjoy the debates over what button was on uniforms from what date etc. If you like that kind of thing and you have a ton of knowledge, you have my respect, just don't use your knowledge as an ego booster
This should be a special event for people who have made an effort to get the minimum equipment for their unit and more if they can afford it. It should be an event for people who enjoy the game.
I hope my comments are taken positively, I'm not attacking anyone, just trying to set the tone for a nice day of playing WW2 Airsoft with a bunch of great players
Take care, 5kull
