Can't say I know of much going on in the Rochester area, but we have had numerous games near Albany, and are hoping to develop a field further up in the Adirondacks.
That might seem far, but given the small size of this hobby, one should expect some travel to be involved to get to games.

Something to think about, thanks! I'm already doing ww2 reenactment which leads me to the penn. Area anyway so I here what your saying. I've been doing airsoft 7 years and counting and thought if I'm doing wwii reenactment it would make sense in doing wwii airsoft. Well I thought about all of this 2 years ago and didn't have the time and money to get into it. Well, I don't have any excuse now, lol! One other question for u guys I do german wwii reenactment so of course I'm going to do the loadout for the german in airsoft. Well to get to my point do the guys that play the german are the in a group or just "go" to the game single without being in a group. I mean I've seen allied groups but never could find the axes groups. Well maybe I'm not looking hard enough, which Leads me to u guys. Hope u guys got all that, lol! Also thank you guys for having me in the group!

When there are games we do take single players, we also have a group in the NE, Heeresgruppe Nord-Ost, that helps with organization and training. Would be happy for you to join, will PM.

There really aren't any units in ww2 airsoft, so its mostly just people. Not at all like blankfire in that sense

Certanly while groups are welcome, most events are a gathering of key advcates who bring along a smattering of friends and acquaintances or individuals who long for something more historically oriented than typical airsoft. i know its sometimes intimidating to travel to an event where you don't know anyone but hopefully this website can familiarize you with what you might need (or be able to borrow) as well as some sense of getting familiarized with the folks you'll meet there.
I will say after attending events all over the country filled with folks I had never actually met, it is a welcoming and supportive community who are willing and anxious to engage any interested individual or party. Welcome to the world of WW2 Airsoft!

They have a very rich history from September 1944 until the end of the war in April of 1945. They were in some of the toughest battles in Europe. From the Battle of the Huertgen Forest to the Battle of the Ruhr Pocket.
