Any suggestions , please post here. One reminder to myself after this weekend ... The CPs should not be more than 400 yards from each other (1/8 mile) .....
Alan, this is Daniel Maxwell (the guy you made the haircut remark to during your RETO class on Friday night) from 11.SS, Barry's group. After having played...
You guys should know that weapons fired in the semi-automatic mode or are bolt action have a near 100% chance of kill at ranges of less than 75 meters....
I would like to suggest that the Axis side have two command posts like the Allies do. There could be a German Army and a SS CP to defend. You will find that...
Well I have not been posting anything yet, but will address many of the issues brought up in individual postings. The reason for this post is the FINAL POINTS...
from my experience, the opposing CPs need to be almost in sight of each other. So that the "front lines" are very distinct and pressure can be applied...
I would put the CPs 1/2 a klick away (500) meters and give the soldiers a good azimuth and reverse azimuth with declination constants. The trouble is if a CP...
Delay the Inevitable * Spring, 1945 Fort Custer, Michigan ** March 23-25, 2007 The members of the WWII HRS Re-enactment group "WIKING" invite you to attend...
When the Allies outnumber the Axis by almost 2-1, like at STille Nacht, that is precisely WHY we separated the two allied CPs .. to give the Axis a chance at...
Bill, First off, it sounds like you are endorsing the type of "scenarios" that never seem to work in our hobby. Military training is one thing, hosting a fun...
No one, to my knowledge, has figured out how to motivate enough umpires for a re-enactment. Even with pay, the competent umpires (that's the important part!)...
My unit hosted an event and used the RETO system. We had close to 200 reenactors. We used 9 judges. The judging was to be passive but soon morphed into active....
What are you looking for in the way of judging? As an organization (82nd Airborne Division Association - Mid Mich) and we have a large number of veterans with...
Mac Who is your question directed to? or did I miss something. Harry ... From: michabnday To: WW2RETO@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 03, 2007 5:03 AM...
Anybody? We found there seemed to be a shortage of umpires and judges so decided to find out what was required. A few of our guys might be interested. Mac ...
Ok, so we are not exactly computer literate ;-0 What we meant was: Many of our guys (82nd Abn Div Association - Mid Mich Chapter) might be interested in being...
LOL ok. I thought I missed something. For our event here, we admitted anyone that voluteered to be a judge for free. The ones that came got a whole new...
This is the oportunty of a lifetime ,"Real Soldiers, Veterans, with real experience" . Who better ,to be able to bean umpire / jodge than, these guys?...
Our next meeting is on the 12th. How many judges-n-umpires do you usually need? Is it Ok to be in uniform (WW2) with an ID arm band? How strict do you want the...
I'm not sure the thread of this past conversation. Individual event hosts can adapt judges/umpires for any specific job they envision. Within the realm of...
We were just trying to help. Seems there was some question about the availability of judges and umpires so we decided to volunteer if we are needed or wanted....
Mac I don't think anyone in their right mind would turn away help at an event. The event my unit hosted could have used a few more judges. If we do it again,...
Mac, I would definately agree that help with umpiring would be gladly welcomed!!!! At just about every tactical event more umpires/judges/facilitators are...
To all: I just wanted to keep this discussion group "on topic".. This group is for the concept of RETO ... or "Easter Egg Hunt" as a single pathetic critic...
Howard and I had a great chat yesterday. His group of 82nd Airborne Veterans from Mid Michigan may participate at the March "Delay the Inevitable" at Fort...
That's great! I have a line on useing some reservists for our event. Just a possibility that may work. Harry ... From: Alan Miltich To: WW2RETO@yahoogroups.com...
We have three judges/umpires confirmed and should have more soon for a total of five or six. Uniform will be WW2, paratrooper with a white arm band. Some...
Oh MAC!! You always ask such complicated questions!! LOL .. These would be much easier to explain over the phone, and are actually outside the context of...
