Great to see another Marne Man on the boards! Welcome. By the way, like your avatar ;D, used to love that movie when I was little, but drove my parents nuts.

How about welcoming back an old soldier who did WW2AS over two years ago. My impression is the US 82nd Airborn 504 PIR. I did that for ten years in the WWII HRS. Now I am a member of the WWII HRS US 70th Tank Battalion. I'm a driver of a Halftrack and the weapons carrier. I have been reenacting for 25 years, so I hope I learned something. I hope you guys have been studying WWII tactics, I have. So the Krauts better watch out. I may be old but I have experience.

HI! I've been around awhile and I have (finally) decided to introduce myself. Name: My name is Alexander Lynnerup. Hometown/Country: I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Age: I'm 13 years old. I'll turn 14 on February 23. (I don't know what happened but my profile says that I'm 16!) ARMORY: Nothing. I'm working on it. IMPRESSION(S): I'm planning on doing a 6th Infantry Battalion Impression (Italy and forward) and/or a 502nd Airborne Impression (Market Garden and forward) OTHER: Well.... My grandfather was in the 6th Infantry Battalion. He participated in the Invasion Italy. He was taken prisoner by the Krauts and nobody has heard from him since. Well, I like to collect/assemble/paint 1:35 scale figures. I don't really do anything than do homework, reading here on the forum, hanging out with my friends ..... and paint figures.

hey guys,
been looking at airsoft for a while, but I don't have an airsoft gun that I could go to an op with, because I don't have any money right now. I hope to dive in deeper this summer, when school is over and I have some money to use.
I don't have a whole lot impressions wise, just a haversack, clip belt, short T handle shovel, and a few tin stuff. I love the Thomson and would love to become a paratrooper, like so many other people in WWII reacting. Oh, I also have a ton of alice gear but that won't do me much good in WWII.
Thats all I have to say and hope to talk to you guys some more over time. Oh, and just call me bones

Name: Onikage Location: Paris (France). Age: 25 Impression: Russian guard infantry officer (post 1943). Weapons: WE P08, AGM MP40. Occupation: History teacher. I play airsoft for many years and have started reenacting for two years (an afghanistan war VDV suit). I've recently decided to start WWII reenacting. But WWII reenacting airsoft isn't really developed in France, and as I was looking for some informations about it, I found this forum. Since that moment, I've red many topics and as I find them very good, I've decided to stay there with you . Oni.
