Having seen a few other events being touted as "themed" it's occured ot me it maybe worth making a differentian for CiA events. I believe that what we do is WWII Airsoft , rather than WWII Themed Airsoft . Themed ot me suggest skirmish in silly kit , rather than really trying to capture the feel of the 1940's . The re enacting bit is what we have that others don't?
Any thoughts on this peeps ?

Aye makes sense

'themed' implies they stick a wwii battle name on it and expcte four people to turn up in the appropriate kit.

Interesting semantics!

Strangely I have been writing a press release background document (that will also be on the new web site) that covers the difference obliquely.

Your comments invited...

Comrades in Arms was set up by six like-minded experienced airsofters with an interest in WW2.

Frustrated with the Catch-22 of there being no WW2 airsoft games due to too far players with authentic kit and yet too few players because of the lack of games the CiA organisers decided to kick the WW2 scene into action. What games there were being organised by sites could best be described as

Could we mention a consistant and clear set of rules shared by all CiA and CiA supported games?

But that top stuff there Dave, nice one.

Groovy. Looks good to me. (There are a couple of typos though) ;)

Christ, I really am a grammar nazi.

Might be nice to mention that the six of us covered various fighting forces with our loadouts, so the kit diversity was there from the beginning.

I'm official proof-reader at my work.

I was bought the book 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' for Christmas.
