Given the number of participants in period gear, photography at this event should be encouraged.

yes.. however .. Photographers need to be participants

I don't want modern clothed photographers present

That's an absolute given.

Hopefully the cameras don't have to be period correct.

Putain n'hésite plus et rejoins-nous dans le maquis! À bas Vichy et vive le Général de Brigade de Gaulle!

Ça sera a voir putain de merde! ;-)

I have a couple of period camera I could use.

sofmilitary.co.uk

They have correspondent patches, for Canada, British and US

BE960 Canada Correspondent patch.
BE959 Canadian Film and Photo unit patch.
BE028 AFPU Badge
AB090 War correspondent badge. Cloth.

It would be great to have civilians, photographers, war journalists? They can be french, german or even Swiss or Swiss red cross. I can imagine a journalist interviewing both allied and Axis troops. Imagine the videos after the game:)

Anyone like the idea of a designated translator/translators for both sides in dealing with the partizans?

I will also have my camera which fits perfectly with its case in my gas mask bag.

Perhaps if there's time, a choreographed battle can be done to record with cameras, video and helmet cams. With that many people attending it would be great to get some promotional material.

on the subject of vintage cameras I came across this the other day. For those who partake in reenactments more than once a year, it might be a good investment. However, I don't know enough about cameras to say when this model would have been made.

On the subject of weapons: was the M14 used in ww2? Wiki says it wasn't but I don't trust it. -.- (suspicious eyes). There seems to be an abundance of SMGs, and the m14 is one of my favorites rifles, so if I do buy something for this game I'd prefer a m14 or something similar (M1 maybe). Real cap mags, or mid caps loaded with 10 or 20 rnds - whatever it is - used on single shot. :) :infantry:

The M14 wasn't used, the M1 Garand was used...

wood stock M14 is certainly an acceptable substitute, fired semi only of course

yeah it's a substitute for a game, but it wasn't used in WW2

understood guys but I don't feel comfortable using something that wasn't available during that time. I just need to find something, other than a SMG, that can be used in games other than ww2 sims. Found a Karabinger but it's not cheap. :\
