Would any one be willing to discuss the formation of a WWII event in IL during to be formed during the period between April 4 to 18th.
you see, i have a friend who is, at this moment, is bravely serving our country in Afghanistan. He will be arriving for shore leave at specified time. we have been softing together for years, but lately he has become increasingly interested in WWII airsoft. we were hoping that an event would randomly appear in said time zone however that now seems unlikely.
and so with no land of my own or experience assembling an event i have come to beseech thee. on his behalf
he has sunk an absorbent amount of money on kit and guns, i would hate to see it all just go to backyard soft.

Wow your friend is tough! If I was in real combat and came home I'd be into a peaceful break, but that to me shows a unwavering interest in WWII. Hope the event works out, our servicemen deserve to be able to do things they did before they joined.

thank you for the support sir. however. with only a few months time for preparations i must try to light a candle beneath this. I have money and time i am willing to pour into this, however it all goes nowhere if there is no land to fight on or over. Please guys i really want his leave to be enjoyable, and memorable.

I have been wanting to organize one here in southern Illinois but there is little interest here I don't think it has to do with "little interest", as I know quite a few guys in the St Louis area who are interested and have the gear. From what I know, its more about finding the right field to use. There have been talks about getting a game together in the STL area for a while now and for a moment it even looked like it was going to happen. Unfortunately the contact for the field that was going to be used kinda fell off the face of the earth from what I understand. From there, things have kinda been in limbo.

IF we could only find a field i would happily provide monetary and logistical support. if you want to help me and my friend, and you want a southern IL game, be proactive, ask around. Ill give a real war merit cross with swords to he who finds a field. I would love it to be northern IL, but baggers can't be choosers.

If I had gear I'd be more that happy to participate in such an event. Where would this be? I live in Jacksonville IL.

Cairo1 - There is an MOA event in Neillsville WI on April 16,17 of this year. It isn't posted yet as we don't normally list all of the events but post them as one finishes and the next one is scheduled. Neillsville is a very good airsoft field. The particulars will most likely be posted in Late February following the Demyansk event in Pickerel. We post on these boards and on www.ostfrontairsoft.com so just keep your eyes open and be willing to drive one State. Hope that helps.
