General Guidelines
updated 9/9 at 4:50pm
1. All
participants are expected to follow the authenticity regulations for
their impression. These can be found in the links to the left.
Please note that only the impressions listed at left are authorized to
be in attendance. Sorry NO airborne, American, or civilian
impressions will be permitted.
2. The event will go “tactical” at 2000 Fri 5. The initial
units will move into the field and take positions. Participants arriving
after 2000 will be led out to the field by someone thereafter.
3. All participants must
report to registration upon arrival. After kitting up they will need to
report back for a look over by our authenticity inspectors. They will be
mainly looking for obvious violations. Remember, If you have any
questions about any item you are bringing, please contact us and we will
help you out.
4. No
filtered cigarettes.
5.
Blatant Drunkenness and Illegal Drug Use are grounds for ejection from
the event!
6. All
alcohol needs to be in a period container.
7. All
participants will follow the chain of command and follow the orders they
are given. If you need to leave early, report to your squad leader and
let him know.
8. If you
take a prisoner, you will disarm him and do a spot check of his pockets
for Identification. DO NOT TAKE SOUVENIRS! Take the POW to your HQ for
interrogation.
9. There
will be NO KAMIKAZE ATTACKS! NO UNAUTHORIZED MOVEMENTS, RECONS OR
ATTACKS! If your not ordered to do something, don’t do it.

10.
The majority of troops hit
during combat received some type of wound from which they will
eventually fully or partially recover. The rest are either
mortally wounded or a lesser number killed outright. At this event
we are drawing our practice from groups that recreate other eras
and are asking that you, within reason, act out your hit by either
being wounded and crawling or limping to safety, even if it means
capture or lying still on the field until the action passes you by
or the medics come to get you. We all realize, especially the real
veterans among us that this is not a portrayal to be taken
lightly. We are not attempting to cause any disrespect to those
who have paid this price in life. However if it is our common goal
to portray at times the combat actions of World War Two as
accurately as possible, perhaps this will serve as a reminder to
us the gravity of the events that we try desperately to represent
and educate about.
This brings us to
real injuries. If during the event you are injured or are next to
a man that is injured please call out CORPSMAN. Why Corpsman you
ask? First we have no Marine units on site. Secondly we will have
men portraying Allied Medics. I’m sure you would see the
confusion. If you have ever been involved with an event at the
Newville Trenches then this will not be new. |
11. Each participant must adhere to the Uniform &
Equipment Guidelines set forth for their side
(German/British/Commonwealth). Links to these guidelines can be found
at the upper left of this page.
12. This is a 36 hour event that will run from Friday
night to hopefully Sunday morning! You must be prepared to live on the
frontline. Unlike most events, you will be tactical all throughout the
weekend once it starts. Rest assured you will have ample time to rest &
socialize off the main line, but it will in a secondary position. There
are NO "base camps!" You will be digging positions, eating rations, &
sleeping "at the front." What you bring, you must be able to carry in.
Over the course of the event, you maybe moved from one position to
another. This may not always be in the same place.
