[Sticky] Uniform and Weapon Requirments

also you will find for this game a lot of the marines , ie the 34th side will have some p42 ? camo tops as well just to go for the standard how we think of a marine look lol , not to mention i keep buying them for them for there birthdays so thay have no choice loooool

hell even i have them

with regard to marine kit we pretty open about what your wear apart from helmet cover etc

and you are raiders , who did nick a bit of extra kit etc as well

hbts , m43 trousers etc

gaiters on / off or on under trousers - all 3 seem to have been used

m41 jackets , hbt tops , p41 or p42

webbing anything american , suspenders on or off marine or infantry hell even medic

if anyone is stuck for usa in anyway we may be able to help , as we have some loan stuff and i wont be using any of mine and i do have a bit

Ah well if they're in the rules then wear helmet covers. Should have read them.

Oh one suggestion re: medic rules. For the Marines instead of shouting medic a load cry of 'Corpsman' would also work. For the Japanese, 'Eiseihei'.

Not that it really matters but seems appropriate!

like that idea

I like the idea of shouting Corpsman too

When I read the Japanese for medic I heard it totally differently in my head to how its apparently supposed to sound:

Made me giggle a bit lol

Eiseihei!

Hopefully I'll remember to say it instead of medic.

Heheh, yeah I was pronouncing it as 'I say hi!'

it sounds like .... wocha me old c.o.c.k sparrow. ?

Hehe, this reminds me of a Vietnam event a few years ago. The Vietnamese for medic is bacsi but some of the lads forgot and just ended up shout for a taxi! Was funny as hell at the time (probably looses something in the telling lol)...anyway back to WWII...here is my USMC gear so far...-- attachment is not available --

Blouse is an unknown repro and the dungarees are SOF repro. The webbing belt, pistol mag pouch, carlisle pouch and packboard are all original. The SMG mag pouch & pistol holster are again SOF repros. Rubber Kabar and post war wire cutters & pouch finish it off for the mo. Canteen & cover to be added shortly. Cheers, Tom

Looks good Tom, really good in fact!

Really does look good. One of the things I'm most looking forward to in this game is seeing all the new kit.

think we had that "taxi" issue at the first dust off game lol

Thank you for the kind words chaps! And that certainly sounds familiar at Dust Off lol. Happened at Dorkingnam back in the day too

Sorry for my make do kit then maybe I'll have enough funds for Tenaru

Don't apologise mate! I thought your impression was really good actually. I just love it when we all line up at the start of the day and we look like a proper platoon. And it's like Chris says, I'd rather play with someone who has a make do kit and the right attitude than someone with all the kit but acts like a cock.

Yeah was going to say the same thing. As long as some effort's made (don't turn up in DPM!) who cares?

I have to say I'm always impressed by people's look alike kit, if well researched (as it is on here) it often needs a second look to really distinguish it from pukka kit.

So my new (well second hand) Thompson arrived today. It was pretty much the last item I was waiting for to complete my USMC / USN look. I still need to get a canteen cover or two and decide if I want another M1 helmet or just use one of my Vietnam lids with the USMC cover.
