Are there any WWII airsofters around here in southern MD/northern VA? I saw one with a Thompson a long, long time ago but none since.
It'd be great to get something going in our area

there are no events haha, that's why I'm asking if anyone's around
I suppose the best thing to do is have guys go to skirmishes in WWII gear, and get some interest
Could you make it to Frederick, MD?

what impressions do you run?
Going to the division 6 field is a bit of a stretch. Have you guys ever tried a field in Frederick, MD called Paintball Sportsland? (PBSL) Its about 40 minutes from Leesburg and I've been there a couple times. Great field.

That works as well. I know of several people that went to local game days and big games in WW2 uniforms and gained people from that.

Impressions are WWII, 101st, 502, and Vietnam USMC Recon .....depending how hot it is ....
Div6 field is a hawl but .... it is cheap .. free .. just the cost of gas to get their. To play airsoft all day, worth it. They always have a good showing, 40+, and run scenario's all day. Great group of people, with little to no issues players calling hits. They have bunks, towers and 30+ acres to run games on.
No I have not heard of Paintball Sportsland. How do they coordinate running airsoft games with paintball games? Still $10.00 to walk-on?
We do have access to a private field, 10+ acres, across the street from me and run small skirmishes with only people we know. Been trying to get in touch with the owner but to no avail.

They set aside certain parts of the field for airsoft or in some cases that day there is only airsoft play. (like for ops) Even with paintballers around the contact is minimal. You might see them in the speedball area or walking to their starting points but thats about it. Never had any issues with stray rounds. And yes, its something like $10 to get in.

Anybody know of a indoor place called Airsoft CQB in Manassas, VA? We could try to meet up there for the first time Yea the are 30 minutes south www.airsoftcqb.com/MVA-Field.html. Indoor field and close quarters, so you have to mod your gun to shoot @ 200 FPS (I think) to play on it... which ain't happen with my M1 Garand. Div6 is going to have another game sometime this month I can post it once they announce it for any who are interested in attending. There are some "huns" that attend and ........it is alway fun shooting The Huns ...

Me and my friends are starting up a 1st division in Howard county (central MD). Were especially looking for Germans for our axis group but we still need americans. Don't bother if you don't want to join because were all 13 and 14 yr olds
