User:Staggenborg/OPEaswind --- Work in progress --- Operation Eastwind is an annual "Airsoft meets Re-enacting" event. It seeks to recreate a 1980s Coldwar environment using period correct equipment, uniforms and vehicles. It also uses airsoft guns, with provide a realistic look without the cost or dangers of using real weapons/blanks.

The time frame is the mid 1980's. The Soviet Union and her allies of the Warsaw Pact are engaging the forces of NATO. Everything in this event is geared towards making you feel that you are actually there. You are a part of a history that could have happened. This event will fully encompass the look and feel of the armies of the time. Think of it as historical reenacting meets airsoft. Mess tents, fighting positions (foxholes), bivouac shelters, hot food sent up the lines in mermite containers, field radios/telephones. All this and more are the order of the day. This is an attempt to be as real as it gets without signing papers and joining!
