I,m posting this so you don't have to read the thread on WW2AA to get the details, so yes this is happening and for real. It was posted by Brownien, the guy putting the event together. Follow the thread on WW2AA to get involved with the event. PM Brownien if you are going to attend. I think that at this time we have about 20 who have said they are coming. I think we need more people doing German impressions. There just isn't a huge ww2airsoft following yet in the North East. Events like this could change that. Also it would be nice to meet airsofters into this hobby from Canada, since I only live just south of Plattsburgh Ny.





UPDATE!

Preliminary schedule as follows:

Saturday

0900hrs- Arrival, I would like everyone at the playing field by this time, and everyone in uniform by then. Anyone using Loaner kit will form up at the Command tent and loaner gear will be issued. Everyone will then form up on the US XO to sign waivers MANDANTORY! Everyone will then report to the Armorer at the firing range for chrono-ing, and general target practice if you wish.

1000hrs- Initial Briefing, everyone will again group up around the Command tent to be briefed on the Formations drills. Our tactician will go over basic formations school circle style, before moving out for field training.

1030hrs- Field Training Commences, everyone; US and German, will move out and put what we have learned into practice. This will be live fire with very limited ammo! For training, Mags and ammo will be regulated to enforce proper trigger discipline.

1200hrs- Field Training Ends, Both sides will regroup at the Command post for a debrief, and to prep for departure to the Combat Zone! Mags, extra BB's, and gear loaded; everything you will need for the duration of the day MUST be packed! Once you move out to your respective HQ's, you won't be able to return to the CP, unless it is very important, and trust me, you really don't want to hoof it all the way back!

1230hrs- Chow! Once you are set to move out, line up at the Mess area for some hot stew, biscuits, and pork luncheon meat. Savor it! it will be your last hot meal for a long while!

1300hrs- Main Briefing-US, all US forces will be broken into squads and briefed on the location of their HQ, Forward CP, and where they are to dig in. US forces will then jump in, and move out according to orders.

1315hrs- Main Briefing-German, German forces will be broken into squads and briefed on their HQ, Forward CP, and where they are to dig in. German forces will then move out according to orders and prep their AO.

1345hrs- Battle Commences! German forces, having prepped for their main assault, will push out according to orders.

NOTE-Supper will be consumed on the field of play. There will be NO STOP CALLED! Chow will be brought up from the rear by runner, and can be warmed on a fire. You may not be eating the same time as the enemy team! keep your eyes peeled, you could be attacked at any minute, just as you could be at any other time durring combat! Eye protection must remain ON!

2100hrs- Engagement Ceases, US and German forces will pull back to what ever main fortificaion they have reached and raise their flags. Combat will cease and everyone will first report to their respective HQ's to gather their equipment, and then report to the Main CP. Everyone who has Loaner gear will report to the Command tent and turn in their gear. All gear will be earmarked for each person, so the next day everyone will recieve the same kit to speed up the issuing process the next day.

Sunday

0900hrs- 2nd Day Arrival, Everyone will again be expected to arrive at this time and be already in uniform. Again, anyone needing Loaner items will need to report to the Command tent to recieve their issued items. Everyone will then need to gear up and get everything ready to move out to their HQ's.

1000hrs- 2nd Day Mission Briefing-US, American forces will fall in on the Command Tent and be briefed on the days developments and new orders. US forces will then move out to their HQ, Forward CP, and the US side of the line.

1015hrs- 2nd Day Mission Briefing-German, German forces will fall in on the Command Tent and be briefed on the opinion of their Fuhrer on their previous days actions and his master plan for the day. German forces will then move out to their HQ, Forward CP, and the German side of the line.

1045hrs- 2nd Day Combat Commences! Both sides will then follow through with their respective orders and PUSH THE ATTACK!

NOTE-AS in the first day, Chow will not be had at the Main CP, but it will be brought up from the rear. Rations for the 2nd day will be more scarce, so if you wish, you may bring your own to suppliment, but this will go along with both more scarce ammo in simulating overly stressed supply lines. There will be a side mission with a ration reward should the objective be secured.

1600hrs- 2nd Day Combat Ceases, Both forces will gather their gear at their HQ's and report to the Main CP. Anyone with loaner gear will be required to return all gear to the Command Tent before vacating the premise.

DETAILS

This will be a continuous, semi scripted event. This will mean that each team's CO will have private radio contact at all times to help dictate the flow of battle. they will also be able to request a rest or lul in the fighting from the other team,and I will be monitoring these comms to keep everything in check. Oly the CO's and I will be aware of any rests or combat flow controlling, so to the individual combatant, everyhting will seem "off the cuff" and non-scripted. With that said, there will be no pre-determined victor. Each side will be free to pursue victory at their own accord. The Combat flow adjustments will only be in place to keep one side from being toppled, or to keep the scenario from ending too soon and needing to be reset.

I will have loudspeakers playing looped battle ambiance durring battle. I will be controlling the volume based on the circumstances of the battle. In reguards to music, you are more than welcome to bring any period music to play at your HQ durring luls in the fighting. Just make sure the player is well protected/disguised if you have a modern player, as you will be on the field of play! I want to keep the farb-O-meter on the low side.

GRENADES! Exploding and smoke grenades are welcome at the event, and I actually plan on ordering some myself. If you would like to go partially in on grenades with me, please let me know through PM. I am not sure when I will be placing the order, but I know it will be before the 1st of the year. Any grenades I buy, will be for use with me and my buddies, if you would like a few the day of the event, i would be willing to sell you a few, but DO NOT RELY ON THERE BEING ANY AVAILABLE AT THE EVENT! If you must have grenades, please order some WITH me ahead of time, otherwise its first come, first serve.
I will be getting some smoke grenades also. these will be split up and issued to each team's CO. He can do what he wants with them, whether to hand them out or hold onto them, but he is in charge of WHEN and WHERE they are to be used!

FOOD: I will have Beef stew, spam and buscuits available for meals. they will not be in period correct containers, but labels will be removed. If you Germans, or anyone else would like, they can bring their own food along, if you would like more period correct foods. Just remember if you bring it and its modern food, please discard of the modern labels before bringing it onto the field of play. WE WILL BE EATING ON AND OFF THE FIELD! Even if you require loaner gear, be sure to bring some form of Mess Tin! even if its not military, some form of small, one person mess tin, will be REQUIRED! WE WLL BE FIGHTING ALOT! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PERIOD CANTEEN, you may bring a non military/modern canteen (NOT A CAMEL PACK!) but SOME FORM OF PERSONAL HYRATION WILL BE REQUIRED! Water for refills will be available at both HQ's and the Main CP

Fires: I will have some barrels available at the Main CP, and each HQ for use as fire barrels. The ones at the Main CP will be liquid fuel based, but the ones at each HQ will be using firewood. They may be used for heating rations while on the field, as well as any firepits you choose to make. I am not concerned with them being a firehazard, with all the snow around, but remember that your gear is FLAMMABLE! ALL firepits MUST BE DOUCED after use! SO after you get done with them, put them out before moving out! Lastly, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WELFARE OF YOUR LOANER GEAR! any fire related damage to ANY ITEMS will be an out of pocket expense to the person ISSUED THE GEAR! so KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT YOU GET ISSUED!

CHRONO: I will not be setting any FPS limits for specific guns, but upon chrono-ing your weapon, I will decide on an appropriate minimum engagment distance for said weapon. It is your responsibility to uphold this MED, so please keep this in mind. Don't expect to bring a 500fps rifle and have a means to defend yourself in a CQC enviroment! Any disputes of engaging too close with a too high of a FPS, will come directly to me. The weapon in question will be Immidiately Chrono-ed again, and any violators will have their weapon impounded for the duration of the event. That means THE WHOLE EVENT! BOTH DAYS! Don't expect to use it again on day 2.

MEDICS: In depth Medic rules will be explained at the briefings, but anyone who would like to attend as a dedicated unarmed Medic may do so! They will work off a separate medic system that will benefit them for being there as an unarmed Medic!
Besides that, each team will have designated armed Medics. they will have a quicker medic time than any non-medic teammates. Details will be laid out durring the briefings.

EXRA GEAR: Anyone who is coming that has extra gear, please bring it! As I have stated before, all Players in need of Loaner gear, will be required to kit up as US, but they may bring any extra items (despite nationality). Some players may need to switch sides to even things up, but I will be the one to designate who, to even out firepower.

Thats it so far! If anyone who needs Loaner gear, has yet to PM me pants and shirt sizes, you need to do so before the 25th of December! Its coming up quick, so hop to it!
