Hey guys a few of us were talking last week about maybe running a pacific theatre game next year.
I know a few guys have uk jungle green and webby has some USMC kit.
BUT.. given a year to get kit together and scheduling this game for august or September 2009 who would be up for playing a burma or iwo jima type game?
Jungle kit is ridiculously cheap at the mo and you can even get imperial jap army kit.
The only thing which would hold me back at the mo would be trying to find folk to play japs but i reckon wiht a good 'counts as' uniform guide we could do this.
Soooo if an unnamed group of organising airsoft types did a jungle game for next year would you be in.
Be looking at a small scale 15 places a side game, site to be decided but somewhere very densely vegetated!
Express an interest here!
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
Piques an interest, certainly. 
Well it goes without saying... I'm interested!
I reckon cheapo Jap impression should be easy to do... all we really need is for people to do it!
Also for those with Brit impressions already all is needed is Jungle Greens, £50 from Sanjay... For headgear a cap comforter, tommy helmet or slouch hat.
Weapons... for brits, Tommy's stens, enfields (No4s are fine type if we go for late '44), bren and of course look-a-likes
For japs, well anything goes I reckon...
If Jap kit was cheap, I'd be up for it. However, I haven't a clue what they wore. Also, a weapons guide would be useful. What would "count as" what?
You'd need somewhere humid too.... we could always hire out the Eden Project! 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Jap kit.
olive drab to sand jacket and trousers, puttees up to the knee and a m43 type cap with a flap on the back of the neck *or* a russian style helmet covered in leaves.

"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
been looking for an excuse to get some USMC stuff. count me in
Awesome ideally i was thinking we could do a fictional USMC rescue of beleaugred UK unit.
So you'd have on one side
USMC
Jungle brits
and for those wihtout kit communist anti jap guerillas in vc style black pyjamas
Against the Imperial Japanese Army
Its getting those 15 japs now.. we nee d some short, dark haoired chaps.. Locutos.. where are you?
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
It would be lots of fun to do this, if only to repeatedly shout "Banzai!!" at every opportunity!

I have a bandana with the japanese characters for Banzai on it... given to me by the nice Japanese guy in the photos... his nickname is "Taicho"
'Little tree! Little tree!'
Oh Banzai.... not Bonsai then.
I'm seriously consdiering doing jap for this one if a few others would, i've got chindit kit but im happy to get the ball rolling for the IJA,
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
you can get game safe live roleplay katanas made of painted foam around a rod core.

Sounds pretty cool
I'm in
I got all inspired and had a look on ebay and found thishttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WW2-Japanese-Offi ... dZViewItem
I know you can't actually this in airsoft combat
but would be great for a photoshoot banzai charge
It doesn't say it but it'll be a fake as well... 
Sounds like a cracking idea mate! Could possible muster up 20 Japs if you wanted to run it a crew based game and have 30odd allies! I'll will be investing in jap gear at the end of this year! Any good to you?

I'd be interested in a pacific game at some point in the future. I wouldn't mind playing either Japanese or Chindit.
Well, looking at that picture of the Japanese marine, you could definitely get away with:
(a) Jackboots and
(b) A Bren!

As discussed on Sat Gadge you know I'm up for this, if any1 has any USMC questions regarding kit fire them away 
Gadge, if you want a 'LARP' safe katana pm armourer doug he makes some really sweet foam weapons (well we both do but dougs are better!)
I would be extreemly up for this i would do USMC tho because Australian camps look very similar and are dead cheap.
