Hi guys and girls this is a bit of a rallying cry!

Lets support events where possible that is how the hobby will continue to grow.

San Marino is £25 the same as a walk on day so I hope no one is going to moan later in the year that there are not enough events on in their area. I have a map of most people in the South East and last count there was over a 100 :shock:

This event is a Help for Heroes fund raiser I did think there would be a few more having interest. Remember this event is also to encourage more people into the hobby and as you can see by the Squads thread there are many seasoned veterans NOT newbies. I remember my 1st event when I saw Steiner and the Boshmans in their kit that's what inspired me and others alike, but without the support then what will the newbies think they are getting into?? Lets try and rip a few away from the Call of Duty mentality modern and get them attending WW2.

:good:

Agree 101%, this is a perfect event for those starting out in WW2 airsoft (black boiler suits for Panzer troops etc) but this will also be a 'proper' event that I'm really looking forward to. Don't worry if your gear isn't perfect , don't worry if you weapon isn't right - come along & get involved! Stop buying gear & start playing!!!!!

My nagging has dragged in one fairly fresh piece of meat for the Hun to shoot. Pity two noobs had to drop out due to work commitments. Even had the spare kit for them :(

The battle continues :wink:

Sorry that I cant make this one, I can only attend a limited number of games that far south :cry:

Anyone thinking of booking on.... do so! Ford Range is a great site and Jimbo will put on a great game, best of luck with it :good:

I am trying desperately to swap/move work commitments around as Ford ranges is just up the road from me. However at the moment I am in Mumbai that weekend... Bugger!

Nice one have you booked with Jimbo (Zero Bravo the organiser?)

Ask away you and your lad will love it :good:

Sorry I cannot lend any Brit kit as I only do German but look at the kit lending thread and ask.
See you there

Modern guns aren't a problem, take off all the sights, red dots and lazors, them wrap the whole thing up so it looks like a bundle of sack cloth and shoot through that, if you can't get a loaner. The whole purpose of this event is to get people into ww2 airsofting without getting worried about not having the right kit or guns. Getting into the spirit of it all and having fun is far more important.

Good to have events in the south, some events up north are to far for me, hope the support is given to the Normandy event in June at combat south, even though its not on the 2014 events calendar. :good:

i think quite a few of us are planning on going to the Combat South Normandy game ,maybe it should be in the games thread ? it might get more notice there .

armoury
m1a1 Thompson,sten mk2,mp40,stg44,sterling,mk2 bren gun,lee Enfield no4 mk1,Mauser Kar98, Walther ppk,smith and Weston m10 and Mauser m712
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

It's in the 'Other Games' section at the moment

I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.

aha, found it. As I am at work I even checked whether anyone had booked that weekend off, only to find I booked it ages ago and I can't think why. Can't have been important though, guess I will be going to the Combat south game :)

I was always supporting this just in a non-committed sort of way. I now find that as I always suspected would be the case I am now definitely not able to make this

Hope it goes well and that I can make the next one.

Cheers

Right then.. I am sitting here getting more and more pis%ed off that after 3 weeks of trying to swap my work roster so I could be off for this one and getting no joy, despite offering quiet large amounts of money as recompense and getting no joy what so ever, I have come to the conclusion.. Sod it I will throw a sicky.. If Gordon or Jimbo are on line, please confirm there is a place available, either FJ or Para and I will pay forthwith..
Kind Regards Chris.
