Who are we?
We are a volunteer, not for profit, collective of three individuals. We are independent of any other organisation, and consist of
Stephen (Headshot), Pete (Sgt. Heide), David (Chomley-Warner). Between us we have 30+ years collective experience of airsoft, re-enacting and military history. We staged one of the first WW2 airsoft events in December 2006, and have gone on to run around three per year since then. We have been trained in the safe and correct use of pyrotechnics by TSLFX, and also have qualified first aiders.
What do we do?
We put on WW2 combat events for our pleasure and that of others. We aim to do two or three events per year in various formats. 'Long Days' which will typically be a morning start till dusk, with camping available either before, or after, or both in a joint non-period camp. '24 Hour' events which will normally be a morning till dark on one day and a morning the following day, with forces camped “in period†separately. We do normally 'stand down' between midnight and 0600, unless players request otherwise .
What are we looking to achieve?
We look to achieve, for ourselves and people who attend, a feel for what it was like to be a soldier in WW2. To do this we used a mixture of re-enactment, airsoft and role playing and encouraged people who come to our events to embrace the same mindset. Most of all it is about having fun.

What we were not
We are not 'stitch Nazis' over kit, weapons or anything else.
We are not out to make a profit from anyone, no bums on seats and bugger the game.
We are not an uber fit bunch of survivalists looking to have a “hardcore†time, we are in our 30's and 40's and 50's and like our comfort as much as the next man.
We don't expect anyone to do anything we wouldn't do ourselves.
