Scenario ideas

Thought it might be fun to chuck down some random ideas for WW2 airsoft scenarios - they could be anything, however unlikely to happen for practical purposes, lack of proper kit, etc. I'll start with a few off the top of my head:

1939-40 Germans vs all-comers: Brits, French, Polish, Dutch, etc

Would love an early era game - just need the correct grey trousers for early '40's

Real beach / river assault - in boats!

Excellent idea, but these days H&S would have a fit and even with disclaimer, it would be a potential nightmare. Be fucking cool tho

Crete - real parachute drop anybody?

Crete, a para drop... hmmm CiA summer holiday - fantastisch idea, but H&S killer

Stalingrad - are there any airsoft groups who have lots of Soviets who we could invite?

Would love a Stalingrad type game, do you know of a site - urban ruin, rubble and big enough that it could have snipers

Crete needn't involve the actual drop.

Early war would be fun, although the Brits would have to reblanco everything pea green to be authentic....

No Y-straps - belt hooks all the way. Jackboots only, of course. Not sure when the Jerries started scraping off their helmet decals - certainly after Poland; possibly during Poland ? Does anywhere do repro Tournisters?

I would love an early war scenario. I've just ordered an M40 uniform. It would be Germans vs Brits 1940 though expect, we are a bit short on polish, french etc. Crete would be good to, lucky you don't need to change much kit wise between mid and late war fallschy. I think these would be do able too as most of the Brit kit is the same for most of the war is it not?

A proper river assault even parachute drop in game would of course be epic but I doubt would be anything more than a pipe dream.

As for a Stalingrad game I hardly need to tell you where I stand comrade!

Personally I'd still like to try a 3 team partisan based game like I suggested a while ago but I seem to remember quite a few people weren't quite so keen.

- Following the theme of the italian campaign...how about Anzio?

- I'm still up for another Normandy scenarios I think considering how much happened in a very short space of time, it shouldn't be overlooked especially since there is potential for so many different scenarios, totally factual or completely made up. Americans and Brits attacking or Germans counterattacking.
Taffy's x-site is perfect for a Normandy Scenario and he's even willing to put us some slit trenches in.
Could be fun Hint Hint.
We could even try encorporating the scattered sticks like on the morning of the first day at CR. So that American and British units would have to regroup at a rally point before heading in to battle?

A parachute drop in game but would of course be epic.

Would love to do that, but even jumping on to a completely flat field in my Airborne gear was a no no despite asking them several times over the phone before I actually went to do it. To be honest I'm sure it'd be reasonably safe, they were quoting bullshit such as 'oh your clothes could snag on the parachute' I was trying to figure out how the canopy was going to open in such a way that it could snag...nevermind I'm ranting.
When I win the lottery I'll fund a CiA Airborne Drop lol

Watch this space for a 'St Lo' game happening next year....

Ooooooo brilliant!

pretty much anything but a river crossing, one mistake and an AEG is finished.

spears,,, you would be surprised, trust me, parachuting with sharp and ridgid gear fastened to you is soooooo dangerous. the most common military parachuting injurys are due to improperly secured kit. and it fucking hurts.

Nooooo they wouldn't let me jump in my 42's; none of the additional gear included. I can imagine it'd hurt if you came down awkwardly on an entrenching tool
I did try and make the point that how many thousand men jumped in the same gear on D Day but they were having none of it.

you can put me and bro down for jumping out of perfectly good airplanes their is a place in Holland that will allow the use of round chutes as for boats ive got the cap and everthing

Round chutes isn't the problem, certain jump schools in Britain will allow the use of round chutes (it just depends whether they have them available). There's one in Chester that'll let you jump with a round chute.

they were quoting bullshit such as 'oh your clothes could snag on the parachute' I was trying to figure out how the canopy was going to open in such a way that it could snag...

They don't take any chances - they even gaffer taped over the metal hook type eyelets on my trainers because it could snag on a shroud line.

I had the option of a round chute in the UK (london Parachute School).

Battle of Berlin, least I could have a genuine reason to be an axis female and armed

They weren 't that bad but the guy that was telling me that I couldn't wear it was an ex para and after he'd preached to me about not snagging on anything for half an hour he said BUT IF I HAD A BRIT DENISON SMOCK HE WOULD'VE LET ME WEAR THAT. Which lead me to believe that even if he was doing it for my safety, he was being a bit of a cock at the same time.

Battle of Berlin is probably my dream Airsoft event. Need the *right* site, and a horrific amount of pyro to make it look good though

They weren 't that bad but the guy that was telling me that I couldn't wear it (blooming yank gear) was an ex para and after he'd preached to me about not snagging on anything for half an hour he said BUT IF I HAD A BRIT DENISON SMOCK HE WOULD'VE LET ME WEAR THAT. .

And HE had a problem? I think not - I'm sure if PBI wished to do a charity jump, they would be able to - just a change of beret badge, from the glorious glider troops to para's

No problem doing it falschy then- just stick all the equipment in the canister. I doubt they'd complain about a pistol holster and a few grenades. Ok the chute wouldn't be authentic but I could live with it.

I bet the would complain about that, can't wear anything which could be a snagging hazard...I'd say a pistol holsters a snagging hazard. That's why to do it you'd have to do it privately...i.e not BPA Associated. Then you can hang whatever the hell you want off yourself

Denison smock and FJ jumpsmock were both designed to be worn over the belt order when jumping to stop snagging.....

Actually, the first jumpsmock designed for the British airborne forces looked similar to the FJ "bonesack"
