Are any other Allied forces allowed to attend, or is it strictly limited to US forces?... I ask because I have a British impression from my days of WWII reenacting and would like to get into WWII Airsoft. As I live in New York, this event is easy driving distance for me and would love to attend. I don't want to have to resort to a partisan impression, however. Absolutely!! Please come! I'm sure our US forces would love an adjutant from the UK. Tell me what outfit and I will add it to the roster of Allied divisions!

Wow, pretty good. But remember that just because people watch the video doesn't mean they'll join or anything, do we have any links in the description or in the footnotes on the video?

You should make a quick website using www.webs.com then add links every were you can it will also make the event look more professional. I may be able to make one for you then pm you the password to the account. Just a thought

Yeah, its a good idea. But I think a webiste is a little too much (Just feels like overkill), would something like a blog or 1 pager be better?

There is a link in the video description. Please feel free to post a comment below the video. My suggestion is for everyone to post a link to this forum on all of your local boards. The forum is a living breathing entity, building momentum and excitement the more people post. Websites tend to be static pieces of information that change very seldom. People visit a website once, get the info they need, and never return. Forums are visited often and really build excitement. So please, keep posting and let's get the word out. Here is a link to the last period airsoft event that I was involved with at GroundZero Airsoft. Very professional. Many of the gentlemen and props seen in this video will be present for Into the Rhineland.

Well, with myself comming I'm sure Austin and Sean will come with me. So that is 2+ myself. I know for a fact that Austin is going to go. We have our gear already layed out, cleaned etc. for this game. So... soon a Sean gets back from Florida i'll speak to him about going.
I have two more guys that want to come. They just don't have full uniforms yet.

Some previews of the rations which will be included in your registration fee Ami rations- The cans will get a coat of OD green paint we have omitted the cigarettes for obvious reasons but are entertaining the idea of those candy cigs in period wrapping add some Wrigley's to these: Kraut rations will include a 4oz can of ham or turkey salad, crackers, cereal bar and butter cookies. Coffe will be supplied seperate to troops that want/need it you can see it on the left: These photos are of the actual rations I have made, I chip away at the project little by little each day. This is one of the reasons it is important for you guys to pre register, these guys are no easy task to make but I feel will add 10 fold to the event!

gerry528, very nice job on the rations. The extra little things that event organizers do always aid the overall event and spending time to make realistic ration packages is a real nice touch. Hope everybody appreciates it.

D Company is the 504th, the 3rd Division is not offiicially a unit since we have 3/5 of the members. But yes, convincing your parents is kind of important. I got my dad to dress up as a German soldier . Fixed it for you.

Hope everybody appreciates it. I couldn't agree more. The authentic sights and sounds are what really leave the lasting memories long after an event. Really nice work Gerry. Greatly appreciated.
