WW2 Airsoft is exactly what it says on the tin. Airsoft in WW2 type clothing and equipment. However, that does not that mean you have to go out and spend £400 on all the equipment all at once before you can get out on the WW2 skirmish battlefield.
At many events players choose their own level of kit realism - which can be from the simple "counts as" system right up to a 100% accurate reproduction of clothing and equipment from the period. Some events have a stricter dress code. It's up to you to choose what level you want to start at, and not up to others to tell you what you should be wearing. Remember, this is Airsoft, so lining the enemy up in your sights, and fighting for the whole day is at the heart of the experience.
And don't worry about coming on your own - the WW2 community is friendly and inclusive. It won't be many minutes before you are at the front line, shoulder to shoulder with the most battle hardened! Some players choose to join groups (you may see banners on their forum signatures) but there is nothing wrong with being your own man - be a team player and that's all that matters.
