WW1 game coming up here in Edmonton...
 

Here is what I have so far. I know it is totally way off from being exact, but I think it will look pretty sweet when the time comes. I have some web gear and more little things coming in the mail.

Suggestions are welcome!

I am also in the process of ghetto rigging my MP5SD6 to look more like a larger WW1 machine gun, heh.

i am intrigued

got enough bolt actions?

Heh, nope. I am the machine gunner, with my MP5, and will have a pistol and a spring shottie as backups. Everyone else will just be using semi-auto.

careful with that gas mask, bbs will go right through it.

Yes, I will not be wearing it like that during the game. I like my eyes! :)

What would make this perfect (depending on what you want to look like):

- Wool puttees (long type, to the knee)
- Cheapo Sam Browne (for officers.. goes over the great coat/trench coat)
- Revolver or Colt 1911 (Americans were issued the 1911. Canadians too, however only 1st Contingent/1st Division in 1914/15...chambered to .455)
- Since you've got a WW2 Canadian gas mask (similar to WW1) you can use the WW2 Brit/Canadian bag (look alot like WW1 bags) and it'll fit in perfectly. Goes over the chest, relatively easy to find, big square thing.
- Pair of ankle boots and you're good to go!

Cheers!

that looks great! what kind of gas mask is that and where did you get it?

Bought it years ago at an antique store. I think it is stamped 1942.

Same with my gas mask. It's stamped 1942 and the canister is stamped 1943.
