The current primary focus here is the Vietnam era but eventually the focus will include WW2 and modern. The location is near Jamaica VT and is on 200 acres surrounded on 3 sides by 3000 acres of wilderness. The sponsoring group is Historical Mil Sim and they are making great strides as a destination venus for historical themed airsoft. Here is a short video from their facebook page: m.facebook.com/events/172122853734415?view=permalink&id=297616971185002&sfnsn=mo

More and more people signing up. He posted the current unit rosters for US, ARVN, LRRPs VC and PAVN and these are the early sign ups. There is still over a month to go. Its going to be a big event for sure. Since he has sufficient tentage and does have a 3 day meal plan for $20.00 the event compared to most commercial events is very cheap.
We need to get him on board to host big Ww2 events.

I am flying from Seattle to attend his big NAM game. I will provide a full report. Though a NAMthemed event he is open to hosting WW2 events so Ill see how this goes. If he can get 100 plus tk a Vietnam themed event way up in Vermont he should be able to do likewise for WW2.
According to him his first Nam games were lucky to get a dozen guys so its something he has grown. He has invested 50 k in the venue and his props and he is drawing from all over the country. Quite a few of my past Recondo School graduates from both coasts are going.

The NAM game is this coming weekend. 19-21st in Vermont. Facebook A Shau Valley, Liberty Canyon
1/ 506th 101st Inf vs 5017 provisional NVA regiment and VC Sapper Battalion. There are some LRRPs and ARVN but its mostly grunt infantry. Jungle fatigues, M56 web gear Mitchell cover helmet or boonie cap/ dew rag. Military style boots preferrably jungle boots. He is fairly strict on impressions but not insanely so. Weapons must be from the era.
He rents full kit for $40.00

Very cool. Looks like an old quarry?

It is indeed a quarry on 200 acres but surrounded on 3 sides with 2000 acres of wilderness. I am anxious to see it in person. The various videos make it look pretty good. It will also be interesting to see final turnout numbers.
