hello there!

i found the forum on ASCUK and as im trying to sort my US WWII loadout, out i thaught this would be a good place to sign up to for all the help i needed.

iv been airsofting for about 4 years now, so im not a complete noob.

my collection started last christmas when my parents baught me a thompson m1a1.

i then went onto buying a 101st jump suit and thompson mag bag.

since these two purchases my collecting of WWII kit has seized, mostly due to financial reason (im only an apprentice.. poor wages) but also because, and i hate saying this, there are mor eimportant things in life than buying just airsoft kit, guns etc etc.

being only 16 i can't drive yet and i rely on a friend to take me to games. whom of which isnt into the WWII period of airsofting/re-enactment and so iv only ever done 'regular' airsofting. but as soon as i can drive, i hope to start attending both 'normal' airsofting dates and re-enactment days, so im slowly starting to build my kit up.

anyway, thats my reason(s) for signing up to the forum. i hope to be talking to you all regularly, purchasing kit from you and maybe even 'soting with some of you in the future!

cheers.

Welcome friend

Another recruit for the allies - they need all the help they can get - :lol:

But seriously - this is a great forum - interesting and fun. I'm from Birmingham, too - well, Shirley to be precise. Since you're from Sutton C, do you go to Fireball at all? :D

as for not haveing a car, im sure if you post for a helping hand, with a lift, someone must come past BRUM on the way to an event, just meet them at a services or something ????

oh and welcome :lol:

Hiya lampitt

I've played there twice only - but don't have anything else to compare it with - I'm new to this game - :D

I can't make it for the August skirmish, but will be there for September. So far I've enjoyed it there.

If you're going to be getting the hip holster you'll need the pistol belt to attach it to, the shoulder holster could be stand-alone but its better used hooked through the belt.... either way not a bad purchase at

Don't worry about booking, just turn up on the day. All you have to do is fill out a first time player form and bobs your uncle.

See you there sometime then. :D

It sure is. Ewart is always there - he's one of the organisers - I won't be there this Saturday but am definitely going for the September skirmish. As Ewie says, attendance there the two times I've been has been really good.

BTW, good to know you support the right team there - :lol: unless you're a closet Milan fan - :wink:
