Well its not a bad idea to post a total count in the event that it is really low, because that will drive away others.
Nah, I am sure there will be a good turn out.

Cool video. It's a shame that some people who post comments on youtube are about as smart as pet rocks.
Guys, this has probably been brought up before but needs to be brought up again. BRING COLD WEATHER GEAR. if you don't have peroid winter gear, wear warm layers (underarmor, fleece, any other cold weather gear) under your uniform. Don't forget about gloves, scarves, and a jeep cap (try to get something that isn't those mittens your grandma knits). hand warmers are another great thing to have and bring. They don't show "Flaggrantly Wrongness" very much, especially if worn right. Hand warmers come in handy for your guns as well (gas guns in particular). Sleeping gear needs to be something that will keep you warm (enough) for the night. you're a lot better being too warm than you are too cold, especially when being active.
Don't forget, if you sweat (which you likely will) then all that perspiration will cool your body, that can be a bad thing, and the odds of hypothermia will increase.
Basically, STAY WARM.

I am just missing period gloves, and a wool blanket. My surplus store used to Sell WWII and Korean War blankets for 10.00's but all of the football/soccer mom's went in and bought them out. Could anyone bring an extra pair of PERIOD gloves and maybe a WWII wool blanket or two. I will take care of them, or maybe just buy them off of you.

I wonder how cold it is going to be? I hope I dont freeze my muffins off. lol Unless Global Warming doesn't give us a hand.... It may get pretty darn cold (My guess is in the 30's-40's) at least. I'll just be in my wools, a regular undershirt, probably a 5-button sweater, and my m43's. I have some really really nice underarmor type pants and shirt that I wear for snowmobiling that I may wear as well depending on the weather. I figure nobody will see them under all that stuff. Also, a jeep cap, scarf and gloves.

I wonder how cold it is going to be? I hope I dont freeze my muffins off. lol Probably plenty cold. Long range forecast for that part of the country is snow and cold. Listen to the other players who have posted. Bring coats and gloves. If you freeze your fun will be cut short.

We will have "warming stations" in a few places throughout the playing field with fires going in each of them. There will also be a fire going inside the main house. However, this doesn't mean you should not come prepared for the cold. I recommend you dress in layers underneath your uniforms.
Ersatzjack2 is right. Be ready for possible near or below freezing temperatures.

AEG USERS
Bring Your Battery Charger !! Put a piece of tape on your BATTERY CHARGER and BATTERIES with your NAME on it. The cold kills battery life. Battery life is usually HALF in cold weather. A 3300mAh battery will get 3300-4000+ shots in the summer. In the cold, it will get 1000-2000 shots.
Bring a backup weapon. Likely-hood of AEG failure is doubled during cold weather.
GAS GUNS
If you are using 134a Gas switch to Green Gas / "Top Gas". It will bring your FPS back up to normal summer time FPS. If you are using Green Gas / "Top Gas" switch to RED GAS. It will bring your FPS back up to normal summer timer FPS. If you are using RED Gas. Buy a CO2 mag fill adaptor and a paintball CO2 tank. Straight CO2 will bring your FPS back up to normal summer time FPS.
Classic Airsoft guns
Run Scuba tank HPA. Constant Air setups using CO2 will ICE the valves sending the gun into fire-extinguisher mode. Using HPA (HighPressureAir) will prevent icing.
>>> There is a paintball field next door to the airsoft field. Burt/Warlord would know if the owner would be available for HPA fills or HPA Tank rentals... <<<

Bring bbs along with you.

Thank you for the advice Biged, haha Ersatzjack too. That information will definitely come in handy.
I have another question. Will 8mm BB weapons be allowed? I'd like to bring along my m1 carbine (old version) along as a backup and would like to know if I can use it.

I can't wait to see that thing in action again. Have you been running green gas through it?
Non-Period things used in the aid of keeping you warm are permitted right? Specifically gloves?

Absolutely, thats fine. What are you using for your primary?

Sorry I missed your post William, I was responding to Yankee. Yes gloves are permitted as long as they aren't too obvious (bright colors etc.) Plain wool gloves would probably be best.
Yes, Josh will bring some things down from his shop, Airsoft Corner. He'll have bbs, gas, magazines, etc.
