Erm... if it was the summer then I'd turn up in Jungle Greens and Slouch hat (and I'd be able to get a few others as well)... However I'm not doing that in January! Way too cold!
Wimp. Sorry Ewart, Im trying to limit my "Open Days" this year, Im fed up of the minority prats that spoil the day.
er... fair enough.... I'm all up for that, but Norway would seem a more sensible theatre for the winter
(and yes I could do a norway loadout...

I hope you have pea-green blanco'd webbing!
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
lol... no I'll just have to farb on that one... 
Disgraceful! Jankers for a week!

Again I just dont do open days anymore, especially cold and wet ones 
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I played an open day at S&S on sunday, not in WW2 kit right enough, and it was OK. I was very pissed off at a couple of guys wearing hundreds of quids worth of molle/osprey plastic loopy whatever, and probably the same in weapons, but who wouldn't take hits, absorbing Mine, Tom's and a mate's BBs from about 15m to 3m and shooting the three of us in the head. Kindof defeats the purpose. I suppose I expected more of 'serious' airsofters, especially ones in their late 30s.
Apologies for the overlong but (I think) gramatically correct sentence.

Much the same story for me at nearly *every* open day i've been to in the last three years.
I just dont bother anymore, i'd rather stick to gaming with the guys we have at wwii and nam games, its how airsoft *should* be
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
With enough Marshals and refs in the game, a firm and thorough rules briefing and intellegent missions and good open day is very achievable, just most sites dont bother with some or any of the above. Real shame!!
I look at open days as a couple of levels on ranbow6 or ghostrecon, fast 50 min missions with high impact and loads of adrenaline. Nothing more that a load of mates trying to complete the level as quick as possible!
sorry this is off topic from the original post!
