You got the money to build a cinderblock replica of Fallujah?

If I was rich I would love to, something like that is what the airsoft world needs, not just for a re-enactment but to hold events and not have to worry about finding a place to CQC.

You don't need any of them expensive cinderblocks.

All you need is a bunch of cow manure and mud. Make mudmen houses and walls. Things that will dry in the sun and make hard-as-shit-literally walls and houses.

The way they make houses isn't hard at all. You'll just get your hands dirty, and we need a lot of dirt/poo poo/clay and a few support wooden beams for windows and doors. Also doors we can use old rusty tin shits and put a few bars for a window.

For the ground you'll need at least three football fields worth of flat ground. We'll need to dry out the ground and pack it really hard so it won't wash out in Oregon weather. Then roll some heavy vehicles over it until it's as hard as concrete.


Then you'll need to dig some small trenches along the roads, and have us all take turns pooping in them, so that the place smells like Fallujah. We'll also need to have trash thrown everywhere, like old plastic water bottles and scraps of plastic and cloth.


Put some old broken satellites up on the roofs and get some sandbag fortifications on a few roofs for snipers, and heavy machine guns.

No

Postby RangerWarren » Mon Feb 09, 2009 1:21 pm

No, that would not be a reenactment.

The first problem is we don't possess sufficient historical context to understand both sides of this battle. The second is that there is no reason to reenact the battle of Fallujah. There are plenty of Veterans you could ask about it, plenty of video tape and no need to recreate it. You cant reenact wars that are still going on it's just silly.

historical context and understanding of both sides is uneccesary for an airsoft game. Lol hell if its not enough for politicians to learn, or for the media and hollywood to understand, why should a 19 yo kid need to do so? And while I can understand not reenacting something from a conflict we are currently in, movies, games and all kinds of other forms of entertainment have come out regarding the war.

There is no reason to NOT reenact the battle of fallujah. The biggest thing about the kids idea is that its a HUGE battle and would be on par with the Op:Irene games/Lion claws games. And hes not reenacting a war, just a battle.

I think the terms "re-enactment" and airsoft game based on real events is getting mixed up.
Yeah, pretty much

the term

Stash is correct. This was posted in the reenactment historic airsoft section if he posted it in another section more appropriate for a game that would be a different matter.

And while I can understand not reenacting something from a conflict we are currently in, movies, games and all kinds of other forms of entertainment have come out regarding the war.


Which doesn't mean any of that is in good taste.

Lol hell if its not enough for politicians to learn, or for the media and hollywood to understand, why should a 19 yo kid need to do so?


So he doesn't make the same mistakes they did.

The battle of Fallujah was over years ago. I gusse all I'm tryin to go for is a cool building to building, house to house clearing and takeing a comand until you find a better spot type thing. I guess in a unrealistic idea.
