Hi everybody my names johno other wise known as Bear, I'm all brand new to this hobby, but I really carnt wait to get into it I'm from Castleford in west Yorkshire. I'm looking forward to talking to you all and getting into the hobby
Hello and welcome aboard!
hi mate welcome aboard, not too far from you myself. are you new to aisoft or just the ww2 side?
Airsoft and ww2, but after looking around at other groups and historical associations, I found ww2 airsofting to be the most appealing to what I'd want out of a hobby of this type. I love WW2 history and love the idea of mixing it up with some fire fight action
hi and welcome hope you enjoy it as much as i have.
Allo Allo

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

haha cheers, Id love to do the Bastogne event. Sleeping outside i can do!!!
i was thinking of going down the US Ranger rout with my kit. Would this be acceptable for this event? As it was mostly Airborn and infantry at Bastogne
Rangers were equipped the same as infantry. If you get the right stuff, then it is a simple matter of removing any sewn on patches to the uniform and a Ranger becomes an infantryman.
Have a look at the infantry kit guide on the top here.

quick link to closest (i believe) open day site to you, so to get some target practice and your UKARA sorted http://www.airsoftcommandoforum.com
if you follow the kit guides like has been said you cant go too far wrong, just dont get carried away and check/ double check its right before you buy it. almost everyone, myself included, has bits they bought because they got carried away
