Why I Don't Do WW2 Airsoft - Q&A

All the events are really far away True, but once you've been to a game you'll see that the travelling is TOTALLY worth it Lots of people come a very long way to attend and others arrange car shares, pickups from stations, etc. (and these are from people who don't even know each other). At most game there are also camping facilities and a Social the night before the event. What's a Social? Think of it as grownup scout camp in fancy dress. You can wear your WW2 stuff, sit round a camp fire, drink beer and talk crap with lots of people who share the same interests. Are they all nerds and Walts? Nope. WW2 airsoft attracts men and women from literally every walk of life and every profession. The only common trait is that they're all really friendly. I can't afford it But you can afford a Â£90 pair of Corcoran's that will sit in your closet for 12 months of the year? OK, so it's not the cheapest hobby in the world, but considering that most games are not for profit and don't cost much more than regular open days (and are about a billion times better), why not put your next bathroom mirror Latvian Pioneer Corps loadout on hold for a few months and actually play a game? I don't have the right kit It's REALLY not about having 100% accurate kit. Playing is far more important. If you come across as a good bloke on the forum you can borrow pretty much everything you need from people who have never even met you. But I don't know anyone and none of my mates are interested What are you? 5?? If you think it's shit you can turn just around and go home. The organisers will give you a full refund and even pay you compensation for time wasted (I don't know if that bit's actually true, but it doesn't matter 'cos nobody ever thinks it's shit). The event clashes with a family thing Fair enough, family and work always take priority, but these events are advertised months in advance. If one takes your fancy then book it in the diary [edit: post modified to encompass all game organisers, not just CiA]

I am really greatful to all those who put on these events I try to attend the ones I can and have enjoyed every one immensely! I don't see the point in buying kit not to use it and I have limited chances so try and make the most of it.

I am particularly looking forward to Jedburgh and expect to do very lottle airsofting, the bist in between the battles make it better for me.

I think we need a few more Germans generally so we do need to encourage others to give it a go.
