French Partisan Fighters
UNAVAILABLE
All of the French population at the event will be made up of locals who I have recruited for the part. They will have a special role at the event, and as such will be briefed differently than the Allied & Axis forces.
If you were planning on attending as a French Partisan, due to not having a proper kit, or weapon, LET ME KNOW! There may be loaner kit/weapons available for you to borrow!
BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW UPON REGISTERING! WALK-ONS WITHOUT AT LEAST A PARTIAL KIT, MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE, DEPENDING ON WHAT EXTRA IS AVAILABLE. REGISTER TO RESERVE!
EDIT!!!
I am trying to stir up locals to participate as French Partisans, But so far not many have committed. If I cannot get enough for them, I may choose to ommit the Partisan aspect of the scenario. If this is so, I will notify you all at least 2 weeks in advance. If I do choose to ommit, it will not greatly impact gameplay for each of the military forces.
General Required Equipment
-Watch
-Period correct flashlight
OR
-Pocket sized modern flashlight
-Period correct OR Modern Compass
-Pocket Knife
-Roll of Medical tape Or Black Electrical tape
-E-tool, be it a shovel or pickaxe, you must have something

YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED OUT OF YOUR RESPECTIVE BASES FOR MISSIONS UNLESS YOU CAN SHOW A FULL CANTEEN OR WATEBOTTLE ON YOUR PERSON!!!
GENERAL OPERATIONS LAYOUT
Friday, everyone will be required to be AT THE FIELD BY 7PM. From there, we will set up our respective camps and prep for the next day.
NOTE: To anyone who does not have a period correct Pup tent, there will be plenty to borrow. All that you will need will be sleeping bags/blankets (Period preferred)
Operations will start EARLY Saturday morning (I MEAN EARLY!) and will last all day until dark. Saturday night will be a laxed night of telling combat stories, and celebrating.
Sunday Morning, we will commence the live shoot. Anyone who would like to participate, will either have paid ahead or pay at the field, and will take turns shooting LIVE AMMO on a preset target range. Weapons may vary. If you own a WW2 Realsteel weapon, and you would be willing to bring it to participate, PM me with details and what you are comfortable with.
FOOD
I will be providing a light breakfast of bread and coffee Saturday morning before combat commences.
Canned lunch will be available on Saturday, to be eaten at your discretion. COMBAT WILL NOT HALT FOR LUNCH!
You must either bring a light dinner to eat, or wait until combat ends at dark. If you choose to bring dinner or snacks, Make sure you CAN CARRY IT ALL ON YOUR PERSON! WE WILL NOT BE STOPPING FOR MEALS, and you may not end up being stationed where you stash your food!
For this reason, EVERYONE will be required to keep their web systems ON at ALL TIMES. You are only to drop your web system/packs if ordered to do so. Failing to follow this rule may leave you stranded at a Forward CP, without the proper gear, ammo, batteries, food, or water to sustain you on your mission!
BLANKFIRE REENACTORS WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE AT THIS EVENT
Although much friction has come up at past events on this subject, I am going to take another crack at this from another angle. Blankfirers WILL be taking an active role in the tactical aspect of this event. With this said, some groundrules must be in place.
Any shot from a blankfire gun which is over 250ft. is ALWAYS a MISS.
Any shot from a blankfire gun which is over 150ft. is 33% lethality.
-This means if you are peeking around cover/exposed and you hear 3 shots ring out while you are exposed, you are hit.
Any shot from a blanfire gun which is over 100ft. is 66% lethality.
-This means if you are peeking around cover/exposed and you hear 2 shots ring out while you are exposed, you are hit.
Any shot from a blankfire gun which is over 50ft. is 100% lethality.
-This means if you are peeking around cover/exposed and you hear 1 shot ring out while you are exposed, you are hit.
Everyone will be briefed hands on with these ranges, including anyone using blanks. Anyone using blanks will also be required to take target practice with an airsoft rifle at these ranges to get an understanding of an airsoft guns accuracy and what to expect in combat.
Lastly on Blankfire guns, anyone using them, will be required to yell out before firing. "Targets in the open!" "Krauts in the open!" "Open fire!" "Fuer Frei!" "Fuer!" Or something of that nature. This is to aleviate the problem with not being able to locate where the shot came from. I know many times I have been shot at, but because of echos or what have you, I have not been able to locate the shooter to effectively call myself out. Blankfirers are encouraged to yell only a split second before firing to only just grab your attention, but not give you enough time to duck for cover.
