Pacific theatre gaming, coming soon?

Gadge · 2008-02-19T11:53:58Z

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!

Aus Cam isnt the same as Marine Cam, especially as they wore the green camo side more around the time the chindits were about (early war)

Kieth off of Ebay does P42 camos, and the other bits is OD infantry webbing!

Attached are pics of the M41/M45 field pack with T-handled shovel and camo poncho/tent half wrapped around the top.

I've had a bottle of wine, so I might be wrong, but I'm sure militaria Keith does Jap kit...

Topic starter

Crew based sounds cool josh but i#'d much prefer players than crew

i think we need 15 per side to make a playable day.

I have most of the US kit already so USMC would be no problem for me.

Yeah Gadge and I were talking about a straight up fight... perhaps on the beleagered Brits who've been fighting the japs tooth and nail for years, and the US marines have sailed in to re-enforce them.

Or the other way around...

Inexperienced Yanks who have been ambushed by Japs as they bumbled through the jungle smelling of chocolate and burgers... Who are then saved by the Jungle-savvy Brits who've been at it for ages and know how to move sneakily...

Heh, there'll probably be chance to do it both ways around...

you can get game safe live roleplay katanas made of painted foam around a rod core.

That could be quite good fun. I've been doing Kendo for the last 10 years!

Lol. Sort of. Most "fights" only last a few seconds in reality. A good "cut" is usually enough. If there were really strict ammo limits and enough "safe" hand to hand wepaons, there could be a great banzai charge, followed by a hand to hand with the beleagured allies. I'd sign up for that!

More traditional for the Yanks to quite literally steam in and make an entrance

...straight into the ambush cos they smelt of chocolate and burgers... Meanwhile the sneaky Brits have been waiting in the sidelines...

Just as I said... lol

Well, seeing as most wars end up with the Yanks shooting the Brits, just cut out the middleman (Japs) and fight each other!

You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
