This former US Army SF operator and long time living history enthusiast, associates himself with excellent events. I highly recommend everyone interested consider this event!

Thanks, we've actually added another Ranger&Sf qualified MSGT to the platoon also. About 1/3 of the unit are former SGTs of various sorts, artillery, medics, engineers, etc. Most former Paratroopers. We will be turning out a 30-40 man Parachute Infantry Platoon. Two auto 1919s, a bazooka, and a 60mm mortar. Full complement of radios and field phones, and way more jeeps than even a PIR had ! :-)
We run it like its real and we al have a blast. This site allows night action so it should be great.

I hope it went well. Please post pictures. Who were your bad guys? Surgery and my middle daughters wedding this coming weekend made attendance by me impossible.

The event went well, the location is a bit of a haul and we lost some participants because of that, but it allows 24/7 blank fire so IMO it is worth it once a year.
We ended up with 25 paratroopers,mew ran two squads with 1919s and had a couple guys doing HQ support which was awesome because we had hot meals for every meal !
I'll get some pics uploaded , most aren't action shots as we are picky about having people taking obvious pictures.
The German units in the PNW are pretty well established. They had a lower turnout with 25 guys , I say "lower" as 60-80 is not impossible for them. There is a strong very SS unit that has a full compliment of vehicles to include 222 armored cars . There is also a decent sized Heer unit, not as outfitted as the SS but they field 10-30 guys

Our next event is the first weekend of December and we are hoping to field 40+ , at least from all the chatter it looks like we might.
