Gosh, I really have been limited to California games, and my success has been a 1 on a scale of 10. I tried really hard to get my pop convinced to let me go to the carentan match, I bought m43s just for it too! But sadly, its a no. I know there is no way that people should go out of the way for one airsofter, but I think there should also be games down here, like on the same scale of carentan or BOB, but there would definitely be a lot more folks as there is a ludicrous number of airsofters down here. Just a thought for the boys up in WA.

There was an event in socal actually, G4B went to it and posted a thread. But I agree, events in california would be nice, even if it was socal.

Yes, there are ludicrous numbers of airsofters in California, but getting them to actually even try and do a ww2 impression is very hard. The game that I went to that Silencer mentioned had maybe, say around 40 people, the scenario was Mt. Suribachi. Only about 5 people (4 marines, 1 Japanese) on each side made even AN ATTEMPT to do a ww2 uniform, the rest just showed up in BDU's. There's just seems to be not enough interest in doing ww2 here especially in SoCal. NorCal has the Cimmerians, but they only occasionally have ww2 games, and if I'm not mistaken their age rules prevent a good many of you from attending. If we want anything done we have to plan it ourselves, which I think we're kind of doing in the other thread ;D .

Yea, but we could advertise it, hold it in a large area, and only let people attend if they attempted to try to have an impression. the only problem is that, what will we do about the krauts?

Or, we could all just meet at a regular airsoft place, and totally own all the people that show up in their regular gear as if it was a regular game. of course it wont be, because we are there! If muaser, G4B, his friend, polak, and I all show up we could get guys to maybe start it up over here with us.

You guys scare me. I'm 4-5 years older than you, and my feet are size 9!! I know that silencers at least 3" taller than me too. What are your mothers feeding you guys??? Holy Smokes! I'm down for comin down your way mauser, but if we wanna meet someplace in the middle instead of going totally north or totally south I know a good place to play in Monterey, and we could probably find a field in like Fresno or something too. Sort of a compromise. Your thoughts?

I would be up for a S. Cali game...it's only about a 6 hour drive from Phoenix. I think you're best bet is to get reenactors that use blanks and real weapons introduced to the airsoft version (like me....now I'm hooked!). 1/2 way "WWII" airsoft impressions are a dime a dozen...we should aim for authenticty rather than number of participants. Cheers. Thomas

What sites have you looked at ? The following suppliers have correct boots.... www.atthefront.com (both German and US. boots) www.whatpriceglory.com (US. boots He carries the SM Wholesale stuff which is made up to size 15) www.wwiiimpressions.com (US boots...best in the business) Cheers Thomas

Thanks Indy, I was wondering where I was going to get boots. Do the paratroopers have different boots than regular infantry?
