Awesome Charlie November. The Battle of Lanzerath is a great one to use as a background. Let me know if there is anything I can do to support your event from afar.

Thanks John. We are hoping to rebuild a scene down here. Both my boys are wanting to play and I just want to support them any way I can.

If you need loaner weapons and uniforms to encourage recruiting let me know. I can supplement large numbers on the US side. Germans not so much. At jump to destiny when you came, 1/3rd of the US troops present were wearing my costumes and using my weapons. The same is true of many of the cadre.

Cool. As the event draws closer if CN can provide specific needs in terms of sizes etc. I'll pack up an appropriate large box to ship. The only thing I ask is folks who request gear or weapons for themselves or buddies are in fact going to show up and use them and that these requests and comittments are far enough in advance to get everything there well in advance. Also if folks are using my uniforms and weapons, arrive at the event early to get geared up and familiar with everything so you're not pulling the event sponsor away from the myriad of things he needs to get done.
I'd love it if this offer allows extra participation from folks who otherwise wouldn't come and I know from experience it's a great way to get new players hooked.

So far we have roughly a dozen participants but there is plenty of room for others, and plenty of time to get your kit together.

We still sit at about 12 players but plenty of time for you to make plans to be there. Even if you don't have a complete impression we have people willing to help out to grow the community here in Florida.

I plan to join as an allied soldier, and I'm bringing my best friend that does SS. 2nd Bat, I don't know if it's too much to ask, but send some M1919s our way! That'd be so awesome...

Not going to happen as my experience lending support weapons has NOT been good. I can have Brownien forward some loaner costumes, web gear and weapons if they are needed. I am turning around and heading back on another two month training tour. This one for Mazda.

John thank you very much for your offers of support I would never ask you to risk sending a .30. I think everyone coming has what they need no one has really mentioned needing extra gear. It's a small group of perhaps a dozen or so players.

If you need anything reasonable let me know. Wish I could join you. I will again be on the road training when your event is held. If it turns out they are sending me south...? Who knows?
