Hi All,
I am a new member to the forum and thought it would be a good idea to first come here and introduce myself. I have followed the forums for a number of years and am pleased to say I have finally got around to moving into the ww2 airsoft re-enactment world.
I am based near Banbury Oxfordshie, in my late 20s and my airsoft/ww2 interest is mainly for the objective/role play element to the games. In short - I can go paintball or standard airsoft and go crazy on the trigger every weekend but thats boring and I am looking for something more involved and this looks like the ticket to that experience.
I am fortunatle that I have very little kit and I am in the process of trying to ascertain what is good to get and what is a waste of £. I will book onto some games and no doubt see you all around. Any advice is very welcome!
British will be my outline..... to start.....!
Regards,

Welcome to the Forum, I'm afraid I have little knowledge on British kit but plenty on the forum do, so feel free to ask
Welcome. Have a look at the kit guides. Also, many people will be happy to lend a few bits - get yourself along to an event.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Welcome to the forum Ed, don't worry about getting your kit perfect, just get along to an event & borrow anything that you need. Welcome aboard!
Hi mate!
All good advice. Most important thing is to get to games and get involved. Kit is not as critical as a willingness to partake.
WW2 airsoft is, as a community, extremely friendly. People will happily loan kit and even guns to get new players involved.
Come along, have a laugh. You won't regret it.
Hello and welcome
As said above , get stuck in asap , just borrow what you need ,every game thread has a kit loan section .

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay
The only daft questions are the ones that go unasked so ask away, you'll find most people here are happy to help, if a little mad
I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.
Hello and welcome,
Plenty of opportunity to play Brit at games in the forthcoming months, so hope to see you at an event soon.
Cheers

Since I've not finished making the stupid thing, I'll just dispense with the pretence.
Hello, sir and welcome. As you've probably heard a few times already, yes, people are willing to loan kit, since I've poured plenty of money into my own equipment I can loan out some stuff too quite happily since British equipment is far superior than everyone else's.
Plus, it's nice to see another individual willing to join the British side instead of crossing either the channel or the pond. Hope you'll enjoy yourself and maybe see you at an event in the future, sir.
