Irish WW2 Milsim Event with 70 Skirmishers

RogueSpear · 12-12-2007 12:55AM #1

Hi Guys has anyone heard of the big milsim event held last weekend down here in wicklow? I’m surprised not to see any mention of it here. My brother is in the army and has been into airsoft for years. He and guys from his unit were involved in running the event in which over 70 people took part. Groups from the UK and even some from europe. It was a World War II event with proper uniforms and even ww2 trucks and other vehicles. Some of the pictures I Have on my phone of the german and US troops look almost real.
He got me in on Saturday eve to the german HQ and it was like stepping back in time. The uniforms the weapons all correct. No modern aegs, no mix and match uniforms if you were a german,army soldier your uniform was german army even helmets, your webbing was correct and you carried a Kar 98k or a Mp40. But I got to say the elite soldiers on the german side were the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. If they had not been talking in english you would have thought you were in some field HQ in Germany back in 1944.
I,m wondering if any of you were involved with this, my brother said that places were limited due to the strict milsim nature of the event but according to him that another event next summer with a scenario based on modern US UK and Enemy forces will be open to the General airsoft community and I’m definitely in for that one, got my ACU and M4 ready to go.

Apologies, but this sounds all too familiar.

i hear the keys rattling already

Masada · 12-12-2007 02:43AM

sounds like a cool event, but is this another piss take from some eejit re-registering over and over? if it is then its very childish, if not then it sounds like a great day out but surely we would have heard about this before if its not another trolling attempt,.,

go away troll...there is a damp bridge for you somewhere, go hide out there...

Wtf

thehomeofDob · 12-12-2007 08:56AM

Heh, I highly doubt something of that scale would have gone unnoticed by the many regular airsofters here, and we would have heard something about it well before it happened. There are a good few very interested in WWII, and MilSim.

Stercus Accidit · 12-12-2007 09:08AM

Ha ha, this is STILL going on!

Ah those nutty nazzys!:D

Rew · 12-12-2007 09:20AM

Oh this will go and go I reckon. Have to say I find people wanting to dress up like fascists accusing others of fascism funny. Must get some popcorn and settle in for the long haul

iceage · 12-12-2007 09:38AM

Lol that would be fun to see

kdouglas · 12-12-2007 10:52AM

I'm locking this for now as it's all a little too similar to posts by SniperWolf/BlackEdelweiss/osok, i've requested an admin look into this further

RogueSpear: if you are genuine and are not infact the owner of any of the above username's, please pm me

kdouglas · 12-12-2007 09:28PM

I've verified that this is not the same user and this thread can be re-opened

Stercus Accidit · 12-12-2007 09:32PM

So is this legit?

70 player milsim?

Was it up north maybe?

Arcto · 12-12-2007 09:42PM

He said wicklow....

Witcher · 12-12-2007 09:48PM

he said his brother is in the army and he and his unit ran the event so im

thinking, glen of imaal, maybe?

:cool::cool::cool:

im from wicklow and havent heard a peep about this! maybe it's BS

Hivemind187 · 12-12-2007 09:49PM

Unless this was a military op only thing then I'm calling shenanigans.

Firstly, if it were an international event surely someone would have seen something about it posted on some forum somewhere by someone.

Secondly, if your brother was into Airsoft for years and owned equipment, military or not he was breaking the law since Airsoft was only legalised in August 2006.

Can you provide a website, photos or any evidence of it at all?

SpitfireIV · 12-12-2007 10:04PM

And thirdly, SS dressed in black and looking like a field camp from 1944? I thought the SS had given up the 'ol black uniforms long before 1944? Unless they were panzer crews, but even they were using camoflauge uniforms by '44.

Masada · 12-12-2007 10:55PM

prob not the same fella, but i rekon its still bullsh*te.,

The all black uniform was never a field uniform. The field uniform was always feldgrau.

Stercus Accidit · 12-12-2007 11:26PM

Is this just a case of the same guy different ip?

Like home computer, office computer...

Masada · 12-12-2007 11:34PM

think the IP is linked to the internet connection aswell though? i googled it and havent come up with anything in relation to such an event though,., cant even get that many airsofters at hrta let alone some underground hush hush event down the country.,

"Wicklow" isnt quite the the countryside. I live there. Believe me, there are places you could conceivably do something like this, even do it and get away without being noticed. But not for long. And certainly not in the ways that are being suggested by this.

I demand photos!!!

Panzer crews used to wear black, so I wasnt sure if this was what he meant. But yeah, a black uniform in the field doesnt make sense :rolleyes:

Masada · 12-12-2007 11:45PM

yeah but with the mention of a group comming from britain aswell i thought their would at least be a mention of it somewhere and that someone in this airsoft community would have heard something., id love to see photos aswell, strange coincidence that there was germans at a time when we have a few controversial threads on the same topic.,:rolleyes:

SpitfireIV · 12-12-2007 11:54PM

Why hasnt this guy replied so? He's playing us for a right bunch of eejits me thinks.

Best not feed them*.......

*trolls

kdouglas · 13-12-2007 12:42AM

The original poster of this thread has been in contact with me via pm about this thread.

Firstly, I would like to point out again, this is not the same user as osok/SniperWolf.
osok has pm'd me to request that I point this out because he feels he is being blamed for all this contreversy over ww2 threads, he started a thread to ask about forming a team based on a ww2 theme and unfortunately it has opened a pandora's box on the subject

I hate to think that we've possibly driven away osok and others from having an interest in airsoft because of all the politics going on here the last few days.

Secondly, i too am skeptical about the existence of this event, now i realise we don't know everything about what goes on, but i find it difficult to believe nobody knows nothing about this event except for the OP, i'm remaining skeptical about this event until i see some proof

jinko · 13-12-2007 01:35AM

sounds more like a re-enactment event than a a mil sim one to me.

kdouglas · 13-12-2007 01:34PM

right, im closing this for now until further notice
