There seems to be a few ww2 airsofters in California, but no one seems to really want to get together, except on rare occasions.

Eh, just 8 1/2 hours thats all! Hah. San diego is nice though. I go down everyonce in a while. Its cool down there but LA is so smoggy! You and mauser ever get together? You both live in la area.

Nah, not yet. We all need to plan something where we go to a large-ish game out down here to get some new recruits! Maybe we should start planning on an event to make together?

Sounds good to me, but we'd have to get more people together, maybe we could put together a modern game... I'm not sure about a world war two themed one.

We should get together and show up at some game somewhere together with all our ww2 stuff. That way we get much more attention. Heck if just one day the 4 of us were able to go, we could recruit like 3 or 4 guys in one day! What kind of impression do you guys do? G4b does 1st infantry right? Mauser you do 9th infantry right? What about you hicks?

Sorry to bust your balloon. I don't have a ww2 impression yet, I do 1st Cav Vietnam living history, my time period for that is around 1966-67. I gotta work on getting a ww2 imp. Maybe if you guys all showed up in ww2 and I in Vietnam, we could do some sort of history display thing (along with airsofting), I am 90% sure that anyone there will be more interested in ww2 though. Still, it might get more people interested in airsoft reenacting though, maybe then we can represent more time periods.

We can show diversity too, no need for us all to HAVE to be in ww2 gear. Us ww2 and you vietnam would be kinda rad!

I'm still here lol. I do 442nd RCT mainly, 3rd, 9th, 7th ID too lol...too many impressions... But yeah find any good fields in the East Bay yet? The one I go to usually is in Monterey/Santa Cruz, and that's quite a haul for you Silencer. I could probably put up a pretty awesome WWII display as a recruitment tool.

Showing up a regular airsoft event with several guys in high quality impresions especially including period correct weapons is a great way to promote interest and spread the word. It's also a super way for alot of you to meet.

Yes I agree totally. I will search some more for more airsofting places. I know of a ton of paintballing areas, never been to a formal airsoft field though :0

I know quite a few places over here, mostly CQB, but they are popular places.

Im fine with CQB, I have a thompson, what about all of you? I think cqb is the main idea out here, that and really wooded areas. I actually know of a few wooded playing fields, but sequoia is bad i hear.

He-hey, I'm back.
Hicks, you've got a 'Nam thing going? I've got about half an impression just with all the surplus crap I buy at the store.
As for my WW2 Impression, it's still not fabricating. I've got neither the cash or the time, but I think with this upcoming birthday, I might get lucky. The gun will be the biggest issue, but I'm still not keen on what I should reenact as. It's definately Allied, but that's all I have so far.

Ehh, thats kind of a sore subject. We are here to rennact, using airsoft guns. But we dont support nazism, and having swastikas represent. Having SS on your colar wouldnt, but i think a swastika could hurt you a bit. Not sure, just some people maybe offended by it.

Post by polak on May 7, 2007 19:44:59 GMT -5
Well, for a resistance impression, all I need is a Mauser, a homemade bandoleer or "Liberated" Kraut gear, and clothing that I could just get outta my closet. French, Dutch, Polish , w/e.
I used to be into the Armia Krajowa, and I've still got my white n'red armband.
But I'll probably just end up with a generic infantry kit.
