Sounds interesting, I have been toying with the idea of putting a Russian kit together, and now that the PPSH is coming out it seems like it is as good a time as any. About how many people do you know of that are putting kits together?

Don't worry if you can't find any Germans to fight half of you can play Soviet political officers and shoot the other half in the back if you try and retreat...Ohhh God...oooh I slay me....ok only really funny to me.

about 4 others as of now but it is growing really fast so expect about 8 or 9 by summer. so about 4-5 for each but there are also a LOT of modern players to shoot at and we are trying to get a big event going this summer for kursk around the 4 through 20 of july so yep that is where we stand...if you can make on the 2nd of january me and pete will be there with some prospects.

Ok so we are also thinking of opening up another Scenario for the summer because Virginia is so Ungodly hot in the summer...were talking triple digits touching the teens in the middle of the day. Also do to increased interest from a short kid who loves the British and a fat one who loves the AfrikaKorp we think we might try and also do some North Africa Gamplay. Does anybody have some recommendations as to how that should go or anybody know some key battles of that sector?(to be honest I know very little about it except Montgomery, Rommel, El Almein, Britain, America VS. The Afrika korp and Luftwaffe) Oh and the group is growing! Me and Pete both know have Russian impressions for Ostfront and we know a kid just got his STG in the other day. Built my mosin and probably will build a few more. Can't complain

Personally i would just try to get as many ww2 guys intrested in coming out, regardless of kit, Then when you actually have decent numbers, Try to sort out kits, and Units. I Have seen the Vietnam communitity Evolve from just a few random guys and kits, to moving on and forming specialized units (LRRP team/ 101st Air mobile infantry) I believe ONLY after you get sufficient numbers of just any kit, can you move on to very specialized battles, N. Africa/ Sicily/ Burma/ PTO. But this is my opinion, hope this helps -matt

most people ramain ignorent to ww2 AS so we let them stay that way. we did manage to convert 2 people to ww2 airsoft. if you want to come that may add some more numbers to our group. the reason we are thinking of doing tropical FJ is because one of the two we managed to convert to ww2AS is wanting to do an Afrika Korp impression.

Not that I know of.
There was one in Afton last year, and only 8 showed. Which is really not enough for anyone to put effort into organizing another event.
Your best bet is to accept that if you want to do WW2 airsoft, you will have to travel.
