Battle of Okinawa (沖縄戦)
When: April 1, 2017 Where: Axis and Allies’ Chelsea field (20649 Waterloo Rd, Chelsea MI) Cost: $15, $20 if loaner gear is needed Accepted impressions: US: US Army or USMC Japanese*: IJA, IJN, or Okinawan conscript** All safety rules of WWII Allies and Axis apply! Please try to be ready to go by noon and not delay the group. Before starting, I will go over game rules. As this is the first event of the PTO group, I will not run it as a continuous action game, but we should all be aware of the time so we can maximize playing time. If interested, please message me with what side you plan to be on to help me plan scenarios and/or with any questions you might have. *Since American gear is easy to find and fairly affordable (and tons of people have it,) I expect decently complete American impressions. However, since this is the first time Japanese troops will be portrayed, standards for them will be loose. That WILL change as time goes on and more Japanese gear is acquired among the group members. **Okinawan conscripts were frequently non-uniformed, so traditional Japanese, Okinawan, or European-style period clothing is acceptable.

Feel free to ask questions! This description was ripped from our Facebook page, and I surely missed some things that need clarifying.

I would say that this event was a success! Despite low numbers, we had some good combat and the Japanese even managed to win a couple matches despite being outnumbered and outgunned. Pictures should be up soon from various sources.

Those came out great! Some of the pictures of the .30 look like 40s movie stills.
