SgtBojangles Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I forgot what they called it during BCT, but those air operated M16's were really cool. I didn't like it a whole lot, though, because the sand bags were NOT filled with sand (they didn't like to flatten out) and hard ground sucked for the prone positions. Air conditioning was GREAT, though. Link to post Share on other sites

Gadge Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Taken during the break at Sundays wwii game. My new panzer officers kit on the right. (the allies had to capture/assassinate me to prevent an axis armoured attack in the afternoon... needless to say they failed miserably despite my being horrically conspicuous in black and pink...

nilz Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Taken during the break at Sundays wwii game. Where are those games being held? I'd love decent WW2 games, but I can't justify spending money on kit for a one-off Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't like it a whole lot, though, because the sand bags were NOT filled with sand (they didn't like to flatten out) and hard ground sucked for the prone positions. Air conditioning was GREAT, though. We didnt get any sand bags because we were only doing standing and transition to kneeling. But holy ###### the M16A4 was like 12 lbs and all of it was stuffed in the rail because of all the tech stuff they needed to make it work. But still THE BEST damned Pool Function ever, especially when I got to rock and roll on the 240! its called an "izmit" -Joe IIRC its ISMT, Interractive Simulation Marksmanship Training but what you have is the phonetic version of it.

I'd love decent WW2 games, but I can't justify spending money on kit for a one-off Hi Nilz They are far more than 'one offs' my friend. At present four UK groups run regular wwii games (averaging out at abut one game per month minimum) with a few big 'mega games' planned. These are Comrades in Arms, Poor Bloody Infantry (my own group with yith and friends), Gunman Airsoft and First and Only Airsoft. Most these games are co-ordinated on the Comrades in Arms forums (www.ww2airsoft.org.uk). To give you an idea off memory in the next few months we have a British and German tactics and training day in Jan, a similar US vs axis one in feb. Operation Varisty and 'the eagle has landed' in March and a massive Sicily battle planned for he summer. Link to post Share on other sites

Good news Time to do some research I suppose and look into the viability of getting skirmishable WW2 German kit together before summer! Or perhaps UK Paratrooper (have a 1942 stamped helmet, just need to swap out the suspension) Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 If you ever change your mind and want to swap that helmet let me know! Seriously we run a UK airborne group, we dont do paras we do 'airlanding' as they are the unsung heroes. We do 2nd Bat South Staffords, its all the same kit, just a different capbadge and we get there by glider! Be good to have you on board if you'd liek to join us for a game.

tmas Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Finally got the freedom to play for the first time since July. We were supposed to have 40 people, but the ice storm that never was scared away 3/4 of the players. Still was fun in its own way though. Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 FallenGuard. It looks like they wear the goggles over there glasses during play, and some of the photos must be posed if that is the case. great pics guys. Grim Link to post Share on other sites

Abelius Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 What I find funny is how people just insist on using boonie hats no matter how cold it is. I once had a game where a guy used a boonie hat even though there was over a meter of snow and -20C cold. Myself, I have used my watch cap since september. Boonies are tropical hats for a reason.

I'm surprised you have not yet realized that this sport is a fashion show and most gear purchases are not so much about utility. The guy wanted to look cool, give him a break. Here's a couple of my teammate and I at a Fort Ord game last weekend. During briefing, we are the two ACU guys in the center, I'm on the right.
