Why lmao?

[@Grenadier_Medvedev]

It’s a hobby

[@SkipPassover]

@@Grenadier_Medvedev it's cool and all but is there an opposing side or are you just walking around in costume?

[@Grenadier_Medvedev]

@@SkipPassover yeah there’s a lot more to it. We use blank fire guns to simulate battles and had to take objectives during this event. There’s photos of the American side somewhere on Facebook but I don’t have them. Think airsoft with real guns and blanks with historical scenarios and impressions to go with said scenario

[@SkipPassover]

@@Grenadier_Medvedev that sounds fun honestly. Did you have Kampfgruppen Peiper?

[@Grenadier_Medvedev]

@@SkipPassover it’s fun but also really expensive. We did 18th Volksgrenadier however there were Luftwaffe and ss so most likely yeah
