the site is key, without it there is no game. apocalypse sounds expensive and not very accommodating. there is bush valley at lenham, they might be up for it. ace combats site is very limited and probably not worth it. there is zed adventures battle lakes over at frant, though I do not get on at all with the chap running it currently.

That's quite interesting. I have played once at bush valley and absolutely hated it. A so called ww2 game I was the only one dressed ww2 and the only one without a modern gun. But i had a really good chat to the guy who owns it all, he was really interested in my gear and the ww2 scene and would be v accomodating I'm sure. Something for me to pursue I think..,. Good idea.
I meant the site itself, the site has potential. their open days are a bit mediocre. I would suggest run it with out them, potentially just see if they would open their burger wagon but the game side remove from them and just rent the site.
make tea not war
is this still an open topic, as it sounds amazing, I would defiantly drive to Kent for this, and if anyone in the Birmingham area wanted to attend i would be willing to bring them along too so if this is still something in works I fully support
it is something that may come off next year or may not. Yes it was gonna be without the families input, we will just have the place to ourselves I think if we are going to do it.
Let me see how amenable they are and how much they would want then I will come back for some ideas
The problem is that people aren't going to be so willing to drop £35 for a WW2 game on an unknown quantity. By the time you've factored in petrol, everything else, you can be majorly out of pocket for a game that quite frankly was shite.
The bar's quite high on WW2 games in terms of not only the scenario (and kit standard to an extent... though that can be overlooked) but in the standard of play. I've been to Apocalypse, it's a decent site, staff seemed friendly enough and it would probably work fine for a game. It's making the scenario pukka enough to generate enough of a buzz to get people to commit to it when they haven't done one before.
The bar is indeed high. I have yet to go to a poor Ww2 game. The effort which is put into them by the organisers is exceptional
Just go for it mate. Negotiate a price with the site owners, make a scenario, advertise it and do the best you can. Ultimately something will go wrong (it always does) and no plan survives first contact with the paying punter, but honestly there's no reason you wouldn't be able to give it a good go. I'd give it a go. 
Also as I said before spread the work with others who want to help then ask for expertise from other organisers. I will be willing to help out with that Just PM me if you need advice thoughts ideas etc
