I have one of their Mountain Troop tents and am very impressed with the attention to detail and quality workmanship. They usually have a 4 to 5 week production time. Do they know you need this by the 19th of November?

!Achtung Deutsche Soldaten! [/size] We are 2 weeks away from our well deserved leave to rest and refit away from the front lines. The OberKomando der Wehrmacht has issued the following orders!
We will be garrisoned in the village of Osten Lager. While this will be a period of great relaxation and R&R, all units will be required to maintain the utmost professionalism and uniform perfection. We will have several company inspections throughout our stay. Uniform standards shall be maintained at all times, any member not in conformity and not well groomed shall be disciplined. This is not the time to grow your beards! All weapons must be kept in full working order, cleaned and ready for action! It is our duty to make sure the Russian civilian population respects and fears the great army of the Reich. We must show at all times that we are fit and ready for battle and impress upon these people our will for supreme victory. Awards shall be given to those that maintain perfect uniform standards!
Where you will be staying
You have all fought well and hard on the front-lines and now it is time for some rewards. Osten Lager is a beautiful little anti communist town just outside the gates of our camp where you can enjoy some good food, libations and even be serenaded by those Babushka's who love men in uniform. Fraternization is not encouraged but will be tolerated. Remember at all times that we are here to garnish population support. So enjoy yourself but stay vigil at all times!
It is very important that all those who have been granted leave to Osten Lager send in their names to confirm they will accept the leave from the front-lines. All names must be posted via PM to Rapture. If your name is not on the list then you have not been registered and will not be granted leave. In addition, all who register prior to November 13th will be given an extra ration of food upon their arrival.
Russian resistance is expected to be minimal. It appears that most have cowered away from our position as they are too scared to fight. Intel indicates that most partisans have ran away like cowardly rats. So expect to have a nice and quiet stay here in beautiful Osten Lager.

For those of you looking forward to your well deserved leave, here are some pictures of your fellow soldiers enjoying their stay at Osten lager. As you can see food is plentiful and fresh No signs of partisans, we are all smiles as we enjoy ourselves. Music is plentiful and the women are delightful.

I can stay all day Saturday but I'm not sure about Sunday, it's my grandma's 80th birthday... Would I still have to pay for both? We are going to have lots of night fighting till 11PM. You may not want to miss that part. Why don't you spend the night and then leave sometime in the morning of Sunday so that you can at least get some night fighting and maybe even some morning fighting. This way you get to do both, your grandmothers' birthday and some game play. Congrats on your grandmothers 80th that is a great age to reach, you should be proud

As Brandon mentioned, the field is bought and paid for the entire 2 days. Whether 5 people show up or 500 we WILL be having this reenactment.
Brandon has planned lots of cool scenarios that will seamlessly flow into each other to appear as one unified experience throughout the 2 days. While I cannot say how the Russian side is set up I can post what the German side will consist of.
First and foremost, this event will have props and scenarios like none seen before. The German camp will be the first German camp ever held in the NE area that is true to nature and 100% authentic. We have several large and small period tents that will encompass the bulk of the camp area along with camp fires, a command headquarters building with a roof, and lots of period accessories.
This is designed to show the true look and feel of a WW2 German camp on the field. We are going to make sure no modern looking materials are anywhere near the camp. This means no plastic tarps, plywood or other non period items in the vicinity. Below is just a sample of some of the tents that will be present.
In addition we will have for the first time, mines! Lots and lots of mines!
Yes there are twice as many in the other room but we could not fit them all in the picture. So you do the count. We will have a huge minefield surrounding the camp that will scare the daylights out of anyone who dares come near. Walk on one of these babies and you will never want to come near us again. This mine field will be filled with German minefield signs as well as props of past minefield casualties. Of course, we may not put all the mines in the minefield
We will also have Barbed wire surrounding the camp. Over 200 feet of barbed wire will seal the perimeter. Try to come through and you will be minced meat.
This will be set up to protect the Germans from any partisans trying to enter the camp. That is of course if they get through the mine field with all their limbs.
The camp will be lit with many kerosene lamps throughout (no modern flashlights allowed) and at least two camp fires for warmth and cooking.
We will have period tables and crates throughout the camp area as well as music. Yes I said music. We will have live radio broadcast of WW2 German music and commentary throughout the event. This will be piped into the camp and will be on all day. This will include period marching music, songs from Lili Marleen as well as recordings of live radio broadcasts all in German.
There will also be a 16 foot flag pole in the center of camp where the Germans will fly their patriotic battle flag.
In addition we will have bunkers and trenches that will be manned by machine gunners with MG42’s and a cannon. A firing cannon that is so loud that the mere sound of it will scare any partisan willing to come near the German camp to cause havoc.
Of course we will have the usual grenades, trenches and Panzerfaust. Except this time the Panzerfaust has been retrofitted to fire a shower of BBS in the air only to fall indiscriminately on the enemy.
This base will be so realistic and so fortified that no one in hell is going to get near it without taking a mouth full of German might. As a matter of fact, we will be so protected that we will be enjoying ourselves with merry libations, great food and lots of women as the partisans get blown up around us.
This camp will be as true as you can get to a German WW2 camp and every attention to detail will be to the highest standard. It is our goal this time to make sure you are totally immersed in the true look and feel of a WW2 reenactment as modern items will be at a minimum if not totally eliminated and hidden.
The German camp will have cooking stations that will enable you to cook your food if you need to as well as warm up during the cold night. In addition, there will be a bar in the Village that will be stocked with beverages that you can consume at any time. We cannot guarantee that girls will frequent the bar but you never know who may show up. While the bar will be a place where Germans and Russians can commingle, it is also a place where you might be having a drink along side a partisan and never know it.
This is going to be the event of all events and we are supplying lots and lots of props to enhance the whole experience. This is just a taste of what we will be doing. There is a lot more that if discussed in these forums will give the enemy an advantage. The rest will be on a need to know basis and only shared with soldiers of the great Reich. Remember, register by the 13th to get the discount and the extra ration of food.
For those bringing tents. If you have a period tent it will be allowed in the German camp. If it is a modern tent it will be placed in the parking area along with the other modern tents. If you have no tent at all, we will be providing shelter both in the camp and in the parking area. Just make sure and bring a wool blanket to keep you warm.
Last but not least. If you are going to show up and have not registered, get your name in ASAP. If you are not going to show up but are thinking of it, you will be missing a truly unique experience with props and accessories never seen before in a WW2 reenactment. You may want to reconsider and come to experience this unique event, you will not be disappointed.
That is it for tonight, be well and be safe, Auf Wiedersehen.

WOW JP! You almost convince me to switch to the German side. ALMOST I'm loving all the props and especially the mines. This is really shaping up to be one great event. Keep up the good work.

Achtung![/color] [/size] Alright soldiers. We are 8 days away from this event. We just sampled the live broadcast radio and music and it sounds delightful. I can just imagine listening to this period sound track with live radio narratives and then experiencing gunfire and fighting in the middle of it. Alas, it appears there will be no fighting as NO one appears to want to take on the great army of the Reich. Ya you know who you are. The 101th airborne, who comes for Western front events but will not even attempt to help out the Russian comrades by joining their forces. How about the rest of you who have been eerily silent. Too cowardly to come and fight. There are many familiar names who have not steped up to the plate. You guys are either too scared to come or are too old to partake, either way, shame on you. Looks like the German army will overwhelm any Rooskie partisan action, expect it to be like taking candy from a baby as we enjoy great food, great music, and maybe even a great pig-roast.
You only live once, life is too short, live it to its fullest, excuses are just excuses, you want to make something happen then just do it, start living and step up to the plate and do what you really live for. If you cannot make it we do not want to hear why, if you are considering making it then get off your duff and get your registration in, if you do not show up, you are just another statistic in the grand scheme of things. Make a difference in this life and stop making excuses, you will be a better person for it and your peers will think better of you.

Fresh from the front. It has come to the attention of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht that partisan action has been increasing in the area of Osten Lager. We want your leave away from the front to be as pleasant as possible but it is possible these partisans may try and ruin your well deserved rest. To help protect the German camp a search light has been made available for our use.
Since the partisans will only dare to fight at night, our search light should make them quite visible from kilometers away. Be grateful that the fatherland is looking out for your well being. Your stay at Osten Lager should be uneventful especially with all the defenses at our disposal.
Remember, if you want to be granted leave to Osten Lager that you must register your name by sending a PM to Rapture. Failure to do so will make you ineligible for your rest away from the front lines.
