Bastogne Camping

ahh lol i'm tryin to pay off a truck right now other wise i would GLADLY come on over, if any reenactors from the states are interested in a skirmish i could eaily find land to do it on, i have a reenacting buddy that's building bunkers and everything this summer, so who knows, if you ever visit the states give me a call

 

Where in the States are you located 5-0??

I've got a couple starts on immersion events, but land is, well, sort of hard to come by, and those few spots I had lined up have fallen through.

 

i'm from central Wisconsin, i'm sorry if i misspell anything in this post my computer's getting VEERY laggy when i type for some reason, and the animations on teh page stop, i dont belive its my internet though i think its the computer... anyways, if you'd be interested i could see what we could get together, i have to talk to my unit commander and our sister unti the 2nd SS see if we could do anything, i'm not exactly sure how much land he told me once but i cant remember now, but i'm always looking for a battle to go to

Costs:

http://www.combatsouth.co.uk/prices.htm

Sounds very reasonable, heres the breakdown:

1/. Walk-on fee, including BBQ lunch and all day hot drinks,: £17:00

2/.Above plus: Full kit hire, gun, ammo, cloths, face protection : £40:00.

IMO about right for an average airsoft game for a newbie. Ammo costs a lot of money otherwise and you need face protection. My usual game (at Birmingham) is: £16 green fee, £16 gun hire, ammo (for a bottle of BBs) is £6, a bit more expensive than what they are offering here.

5 0 Duce. I'm not that far from you down here in indiana. Have you ever been to or heard of Rennselaer or Lowell? They're really big events down here and rennselear is the home site to my unit.

 

yea but i dont know if i'll get to them lowell i know i wont, (isnt it this weekend?) but i''m waiting on my truck if i get it i might make it for the other.

 

Lowell is the first weekend in may. To me it has a holiday ranking just because I have so much fun there every year.

 

hey long time no post on my part, yea ive got a couple events coming up, one in indiana cant remember the name i ahve to talk to my unit commander or maybe one of the guys from 2nd SS and see whats up, there's also a convoy battle that will stretch over 40 miles in Illinois i believe i would LOVE to go on that sounds like a blast

 

I'll be at the rennselaer event this April. Its the 1st and 2nd. The scenrio is market garden. If thats the same one your going to go to let me know.

 

yea i would be leaving tomorrow but i got a new computer, as long as i get another job (i quit/got fired from my other one) i can make Lowell, if i dont... i have to wait >(
