I have been interested in getting into WWII re-enacting / Airsoft for about 4 years.
about a year ago Lawdog gave me some kit when I purchased his AGM StG44

This planted the Seed. Last yer my wife gave me some money to put towards gear.

And This year I decided to Host a WWII airsoft game in the spring.. Which resulted in me getting off my Butt and getting my impression together

I decided to do a German impression, as it seems that more people do Allied impressions .. and more AXIS players would be good.

I am mildly allergic to WOOl.. so this presented a problem right off as Most German uniforms are Wool .. but SS camoflage uniforms were not wool so this informed my decision to proceed with a Waffen SS impression , I know I am going to have to get into Wool eventually .. to build the depth of the impression and particularly if I want to do any Early war stuff..

Here is the Kit list

I have a lot of stuff that you probably don't "really" need to get going

I really like Military Tour as a supplier.. their shipping is high.. unless you buy a lot of stuff .. then it becomes more "reasonable" but not paying Duty , Brokerage is a boon
