Allied Army, D-Day 2012

[SIZE="3"]4th ID


A great introduction to what the 4th Infantry Division players
face as those ramps drop. Also dispells all that talk about how
the Germans are at such a great disadvantage, given they're
outnumbered and all.

If you want to experience a REAL piece of history, join the
4th Infantry Division this coming June for the 15th Annual
Oklahoma D-Day Event.

CEF beer coozies, how cool is that?

Join the best prepared D-Day unit,
join the CEF!

Sincerely,

With just under 4 months to go the Allied staff has
already been busy holding planning sessions and
one of the things that's first on everyone's mind is
how are we doing, recruiting wise. I could spell
out where things stand, but since this is an open
forum I'm afraid all I can say is that we're ahead
of where we were last year. Does that mean you
have to pick a unit and sign up tomorrow? Hardly,
but it wouldn't hurt to start looking a little closer.
We are also putting out a call for tanks, as well
as for mechanized players and tank killers who
want to see what it's like to face off against the
vaulted might of the German Armor Corps.

If you've got questions, or would just like to chat
about what you can expect when you get there,
feel free to give my office a call. I'm available
pretty much every day starting at 0600hrs and
I'm generally still here till around 2000hrs.

Sincerely,

NOTICE:

March 9-10 is the first weekend of work, We need all
the help we can get because we are going to Burn A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF THE PARK!

The local agencies are coming to train, help and burn
a ton of area such as SWORD, the INDIAN LAND and the whole 2010. You can also help tear down structures
that need to be gone and we plan to rebuild.

Sign up on the D-Day forum site if you would, so I
know how much grub and spirits to have on hand.

Once again, the Commonwealth will be hosting a military style full auto shoot at OK D-Day 2012.

The shoot will be held on Wednesday, June 13 and is open to everyone at OK D-Day 2012. It will start at about 9:30 AM and will end at about 2:30 PM. The convoy to the range will leave the Commonwealth compound at 9:00 AM, so don't be late. Please bring your own vehicle or make arrangements to ride with someone. You may also want to bring something to drink or eat. The rain date will be Thursday June 14.

This shoot is open to anyone 12 years old and older. Minors under 18 years old MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. No Exceptions. Please don't ask if 11 years and 11 months is close enough, because it isn't. Have proof of age, just in case the question comes up. A legal guardian must be authorized by law and documented by the court to represent the minor in all decisions pertaining to the minor. The father of a friend or older sibling is not good enough. The father of a friend or older sibling holding a temporary legal guardianship document from a court of law is perfect.

For 2012, the cost to preregister is $85 and you have to buy the rounds on site. The preregistration fee allows you to shoot any of the weapons offered. Preregistration will close out on May 1. If you know you’re going to be there, go ahead and register. At the event, we will take all walk-on shooters at $100 each, cash only. Please try to bring exact cash. The cost of the rounds is extremely reasonable and offsets the initial registration fee. Rounds are cash only. You may not bring your own real steel or bullets, but you can show up and take all the pics and video you want, at no charge. This year, we are offering belt fed weapons and an AR50 .50 cal sniper rifle and we are trying to offer an M2 .50 Cal. HB. We do feature various household appliances, boats and cars for the shooters to blow up. Yes, I said BLOW UP.

If you wish to do any kneeling, squatting or prone shooting, bring some sort of pad.

There will be no off-hand or Rambo style shooting. Anyone found to be acting in an irresponsible manner will have their shooting day terminated, their rounds confiscated and they will be escorted off of the range, without a refund of any kind.
These are the prices for last year, but they shouldn't be too much different for this year. I will post up the current prices on belt fed rounds and loose rounds, as soon as I know them. Please don’t comment on whether you could buy the rounds cheaper than anyone else or that you were/are in the military and you had enough of shooting. This is the man’s living. If you have a Class III license, a couple of machine guns and 10,000 rounds at $.001 each, then lucky you.

Here are the 2011 weapons and bullet prices.

AK47, AK74, M16, M4, M14, STG58/FAL, AC556/Mini14, MP5, M1 Carbine, M11A1/MAC11 with suppessor, M60, FN30/M1919, Thompson .45, RPD, Sten, Scorpion, AR50.

45acp 30rd mag, $20.00
9mm 30rd mag $15.00
30 carb. 20rd mag $15.00
30carb 30rd mag $20.00
308 20rd mag $20.00
762x39 30rd mag $15.00

.50 Cal $5.00 each

belt fed prices

Please include the names of the shooters, ages, one good contact phone number and whether you would prefer to pay by PayPal, check or M.O. All registrations must be submitted and paid in full by May 1.

Cheers

Here's some footage of an operation this past year

that involved members of our 82nd AB Pathfinders

and our 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion.

What could be better than going over the top as a

member with either of these units? If you agree,

then it's time to lace up and saddle up as a part of

the Allied Army for this year's 15th Annual Oklahoma

D-Day Event.

I wanted to take this opportunity to point out
one of the aspects which makes the Oklahoma
D-Day Event unique.

At most scenario games people show up knowing
which side they're going to be on, but that's about
it. If they've been appointed as the General, they
know they'll be in charge and there are always a
few others who know they'll be the General's aids,
but beyond that the depth of either side is left to
be determined just before the game starts.

At D-Day, at least when it comes to the Allied side,
we've created 17 unique units, each represents a
unit which actually took part in the 1944 landings
in Normandy. Each is led by a seasoned player
who knew a year in advance what he'd be doing
as the horn sounds. As the CO of that unit, he's
also determined who his XO, S-3 and so on are.
If the unit is large enough, it's also been split up
into various Companys, again just as it was in
44.

Why does all this matter, afterall this is just another
paintball game? Well if matters because when you
have between 3-4 thousand players scattered over
close to 800 acres, you want to maintain some sort
of organization. You want to know where you need
to go as you come out of the dead zone and you
also want to know if that player on the right and left
of you is going to stick with you when you make that
charge on the enemy's position.

This is why D-Day is more than just a game. It's a
chance to take part in the largest event of its kind
and at the same time it's also an opportunity to see
what it was like to be part of the largest sea and air
invasion ever staged.

Come and join us for D-Day and be a part of history.
Join forces with hundreds of others who've come to
Wyandotte for a chance to be part of this history
making paintball event.
