Just got back from a WARS Das Reich training event at a new location in the north of England ( location of area 51 will be kept under wraps till a later date when Neil is happy to reveal its location etc).
Again Neil has pulled the rabbit out of the hat with this one the area is roughly 40 acres, buildings to die for yes some will need work on ( one has already being worked on as we speak by Neil as a HQ and sleeping quarters). The location would be ideal for Russian front Stalingrad scenarios or Western front scenarios both would work great. open fields, rubble, earthen banks and mounds and wooded copses basically eveything you need.
Vehicles including Tanks, halfracks, jeeps, bikes etc would be fine and able to use the location no problem without getting bogged down. Tons of hard standing car parking for cars.
Neil contacted the local police force to let them know what would be happening this weekend they were more than happy even came along to say hello!!!
More training weekends are planned over the year. Working weekends also planned and living history or battle reenactments ( what ever you want to call them both the same to me) will also be pencilled in at a later date.
40 acres may mean a small player numbers for us (no bad thing in itself of course, IIRC FSA and F&O Matlock are about 70 acres) but this might be a possible location. No site insurance of course since that is covered by attending groups, but not insurmountable. I'll ask PD about it as he was there this weekend...
