[hellmutt]

WHAT: Battle of the Bulge WWII Simulation
WHERE: Home, WA
WHEN: 17-18 JAN 2009 (1945)
COST: $50 pre-registered
FORUMS: http://www.battlesim.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=221




If you do WWII - this is the event you have been waiting for! If you've never done WWII - this is the event to start!! This will be the 4th Battle of the Bulge event hosted by Battlesim.com and we think it is going to be the best one yet! Registration will open in early November.

Set at the closing of the Bulge, Allied units will have their hands full trying to open up lines defended by pockets of German units. By 15 January, Seventh Army’s VI Corps was fighting on three sides in Alsace. With casualties mounting, and running short on replacements, tanks, ammunition, and supplies, Seventh Army was forced to withdraw to defensive positions on the south bank of the Moder River.

The temperature during January 1945 was extremely low. Trucks had to be run every half hour or the oil in them would freeze, and weapons would freeze. The offensive went forward regardless!

REGISTRATION OPEN!!!

Get in while you can! We expect to sell this one out!

Why wouldn't it be? They rent weapons and uniforms. If you have the gear and uniform all you need is to rent a weapon from them. I would go but it's too long of a road trip for us in Ontario. But one of these times I'm going to make it out to one of their events... maybe a summer event. You guys out west should make it out.

lol, I had a fight with the wife already about attending that!! But seriously, that event is on my to-do list when I get my kit together.(Half way there.) But don't feel like making the trip by my self. Having a hard time finding any ww2 airsoft prospects out here.(so far, it's me)

Methinks a Co-Provincial Effort should be made to attend this some time.

Well you're only... what... 8 to 12 hours away from them? Maybe like Sam said... maybe we could all hook up and go to one of their next events. I don't see it happening this summer but maybe next.

SOLD, maybe by then I can convince a couple of fellas to get some kits together, summer of 2010?

Not sure about that, the vehicle was almost leaving the road after 15 minutes on the last road trip, right Sam? Raaaaaatheeeeeeeer.

Though that would be a heck of a road trip, I'd be up for that as long as recording devices of any sort were prohibited.

[QuincyXavier]

It would be mondo cool to go to that. Maybe in a year or two.

Heck yes. I'll have 4 kits ready!! Let's do it!

They have some pics up if you go to their forum, looks like it was a good one, maybe about 75 people all geared up.
