World
War 2 Special - June 29th/30th 2002
written
by Phil
Stevens (aka Pigpie)- Monday, March 18, 2002
With
increase interest in the WW2, we've decided to do
a themed WW2 weekend, using both woodland and urban
sites.
The
event will be at Dragon
Valley, and Spectre
Wargames (Cardiff and Herefordshire
respectively)
Blending
airsoft with roleplay, the game would be for all
those wishing that they could be in the band of
brothers, saving lost privates or crossing bridges
too far…

Storyline
The weekend will be base around the allied push through
Normandy, starting in a woodland setting, and then having
to assault a military camp. We'll be using SFX, purpose
built props and other stuff to ensure this is realistic
experience, relying on people getting in the spirit of
the day. Roleplay will be as important as airsoft.
Each
game will be a part of an ongoing story, telling the compelling
account of a small Allied section charged with retrieving
stolen documents from German hands. Gameplay will be ongoing,
and ensure players become immersed in the feel for the
period.
Weapons
Must be of WW2 era, with the SOLE exception of the AK47
(close enough to the MG44) for Axis. Germans can use allied
weapons etc, as there is a shortage of options for them.
Only low-cap mags will be allowed.
Dress
Must be good representation of WW2 - ie. Allied olive
fatigues, German grey/pea dot or field blue. Goggles will
be used obviously. You don't necessarily have to spend
a bomb – click here for a list of options all under £30
Cost
The
whole vent will cost £40 for the weekend, inclusive
of 2 days gaming, a grenade supply, BB's, camping and
BBq's. Players will need transport between the woodland
and urban sites, as well as a sleeping bag.
Booking
You can book here,
but please be aware that we will require a deposit of
£20 before the end of May to cover your place. If
you can’t provide this deposit, we can’t assure you of
a place.
