Operation Cobra Overlord October 8th, 2011 Wildcat - Williamson, IL June 1944, the Axis powers of Europe have had a strangle hold on the Allied powers for to long. Allied forces have planned the largest invasion in modern history to relive the pain and suffering caused by the mighty Axis giant. This battle will decide the fate of Europe as we know it... Basics: When: Saturday, Oct 8, 2011 Where: Wildcat 390 Third St. Williamson, IL 62088 Cost: $20 All players must sign an wildcat waiver Schedule: 9:20 - Safety Briefing 9:45 - Team briefing 10:00 - Game start ALL SLAP RULES APPLY - full seal eye protection - mesh is acceptable - FPS limit 400 (anything over must be approved) Weapon Restrictions: - Any WWII weapon is allowed (and encouraged!) - Some loaner weapons are available and are the preferred option for those that do not have a period weapon. PM if interested. - All other AEG’s are allowed, but they must be covered in burlap and/or cloth. This rule is in effect to conceal them from being non period. If you do not have any, cloth will be provided. - NO weapon "bling". This would include (but not limited to) reddots, no scopes (unless on a bolt action), rails, vertical grips, flashlights, etc. Use common sense please. Uniform Restrictions -Any WWII axis or allied impression is allowed - If you do not have a period impression, you can sign up as Frech resistance or Volkssturm! This is a easy impression to put together. You can wear regular clothing that looks like it is from the 1940’s. You can acquire this at a local thrift store, or possibly by even raiding your grandfathers closet. French resistance will be playing on the allied side and Volkssturm on the Axis side. Armbands will be provided for identification for Volkssturm players. Examples... Resistance: www.atwphoto.com/under.jpgwww.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00192/8D0I0564_192222s.jpgVolkstrum: 2.bp.blogspot.com/_YYMeAu4i7gA/TN6M19rLuLI/AAAAAAAAJbY/95osi93EcDQ/s1600/WEHRMACHT-GERMAN-SOLDIERS-WW2-SECOND-WORLD-WAR-RARE-UNSEEN-PICTURES-IMAGES-010.jpgww2db.com/images/weapon_panzerfaust24.jpg*** - UPDATE NEW RULE - *** For those wearing helmets. You get one free pass if hit in the helmet per respawn *** - - *** If you plan to attend, please rsvp so we know what kind of numbers to expect. Include your name and impression (axis, allied, partisan or volkssturm) and if you would like to possibly borrow a weapon. This milsim is going to be great! This field has a huge bunker with d-day landing boat props, a town, wooded area, ruins and earth works. We will have many props, some artillery and scenario objectives to complete. All around SLAP is putting in a lot of effort into this game. If you THINK you can go... don't wait..

Thanks! This will be the first WW2 game for our area. So we are going to put as much into it as we can to make it a great game. Of course... if you feel like making the drive you can always come out and see for yourself! ;D

I have a friend who is curious towards airsoft, he's never played before. Do you think he could borrow a weapon? I could provide a Volkssturm armband. If it costs to rent weapons that would be fine as well.

I have a friend who is curious towards airsoft, he's never played before. Do you think he could borrow a weapon? I could provide a Volkssturm armband. If it costs to rent weapons that would be fine as well. I think we can find him a loaner if he is not able to come up with one for sure. Let me know if he is in for sure or not and I will mark him down on the roster. Also, Volkssturm armbands will be provided at the game! ;D

*UPDATE* I have one more person that would like to attend this event. He will need a weapon and can play on either the Volkssturm or French Resistance. His Name: Steven M. Team: Volkssturm/FFI
Depending on whether or not I have my uniform by October I will also have to play Volkssturm. Sorry for the confusion.

Will add him to the roster as Volkssturm unless other wise noted. That way you guys can play on the same side. Let me know how it goes with the uniform and if you need to be moved over to Volkssturm as well. And.. Good luck with putting it together!

Couple of places to stay at... There's a Super 8 in Staunton which is one town away right up 55 from Wildcat. From looking at their website the average nightly rate is around $50 a night before tax. www.super8.com/Super8/control/Bo ... d=IP_Local OR There is a campground 6miles away with daily rates from $10-30! www.rustic-acres.comFYI, the campground also has a FB page: www.facebook.com/pages/Rustic-Acres-Campground/48886954303?sk=infoLet me know if that info helped!

I wanted to say publicly how cool I think it is with all the little things you have added to your game. The props big and small and these intel papers are great and should be emulated. Good luck with that game sir.

Good luck with that game sir. Thanks a ton for the compliments and support CN. I know you have been on these boards a while and have put on your own games etc. So it is a nice thing to hear coming from a board member like yourself. Thank you.

Glad were finally getting a game going in the area. Misfit took the initiative to set this up, and I'll be damned if I miss it. It's the little details that will make this game. Now to decide on whether I'll go as 82nd Airborne or 2nd Rangers. P.S. That Pak 38 will be out of commission once I get my hands on one of Josiah's bazookas.

Sounds awesome! I'll see if I can bring a car down to the event! I am still in contact with a group of ww2softers from the chicago suburbs area, if there is still interest I may be able to bring 4-5 guys!
I'll let you know, I'm glad I check this site again!

Looks fantastic. Perhaps it's time to dust off the airsoft weapons and take a road trip. I"ll be in touch Chris.

Guys, Misfit has been doing an EXCELLENT job of organizing this game and getting stuff together to make the game even better! He hasn't posted it up on here yet as it's still being built but besides the PAK gun he's already made, he's also working on a Nebelwerfer for the field!
Those of you considering coming from the Chicago area... stop considering! Come on down as it's going to be a great time! I played with a few of you years ago back in 2007(?) when that big blizzard blew in off the lake and it would awesome if you guys made it down for this game. If this one goes well I think we might try to do another one in December as the Battle of the Bulge!

It's not easy for me to blow out of town for a weekend because of work. So if I can make the arrangements...I'll be there. Sorry but I have to pay the mortgage first, then I can have fun playing war.
;D
