couple of things i need help with

Does anyone have a program template ie fonts etc to make a dossier / mission pack for various missions like assasination etc ...
not so much worried about layout but typeface suggestions.
mission types - the usual really
building objectives like ammo dump and radio shack
assassination
kidnap

Help would be appreciated

Next does anyone have a contact for broken radio kit for a prop radio room? I can find lots who have functional kit at 300ukp+ but none that have broken vrc321's etc

With the fonts, a good 'old typewriter' style font will be useful, as well as an 'Army' style stencil font. The classic germanic font is called 'fractur', but there are many variants and alternate versions out there. you're best doing a bit of research into the documents you want to copy/recreate and looking through font list websites.

Missions are really dependent on the overall scenario, and so that's really something you'll have to think about, depending on the game you're planning/organising.

Old radio kit will be steep regardless of whether it's working or not, as most of the people that collect it will be able to repair it themselves and so it still commands decent prices. You'd probably be better off creating dummy radio gear from scratch.

I assume it's not WW2 then. VRC 321s started production in the 70s.

Old "Larkspur" radio equipement pre-dates the "Clansman" VRC and PRC radios and looks a lot older than it is as well.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
