Today is January 25th 2015. 1 week from today is February 1st 2015. February 1st 2015 is the last sign up day and final payment deadline for the last and final East Wind. After February 1st 2015 the entire airsofting world can clearly be divided into the select few who have been to East Wind and the...

For those of you interested in an attendees eye view of East Wind written in a series of stories, I recommend reading Dirt-Pro's War Stories series on his Milsim Perspective website here: http://www.themilsimperspective.com/2014/10/29/operation-eastwind-7-my-experience-part-1/ Dirt-Pro was a ratelo ...

Pictures speak a thousand words so here are a few photos from past East Wind events to give you guys an idea what we do out at East Wind.   http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8252/8609153319_e9e9b26776_c.jpg UK Infantry moves out with a FV-701 Ferret armored car on patrol.  One US squad holds a key inter...

Yep, registration opened a while back just hit up http://www.operationeastwind.com/NATO/registration.shtml for NATO or http://www.operationeastwind.com/EB/registration.shtml for Warsaw Pact. If you are headed through Tn, you could probably hit up Childers he's Scorpion1 on the East Wind forums, he's...

If you are coming up by yourself, check airline ticket prices to Joplin, Mo. Joplin is pretty close by and is one of those airports where they subsidize the landing fees so tickets are frequently quite inexpensive. We can zip up there and scarf you up then deposit you back with little to no addition...

Happens that I can help with this as I am from Kansas City. KCAA (Kansas City Airsoft Association.) Now defunct. Used to run monthly Milsim games that drew players from as far away as Chicago on a regular basis but the guys doing all the leg work to run events ended up with too much on their plates ...

@ Dom: One of the nice things about attending a smaller much more specific game is that pretty much every person attending can talk to the game organizers, get questions answered, get help etc without having to worry about there being 699 people in line in front of you asking the same things. :) I h...

Hey Dom, good to hear you are planning the trip! My East Wind talk radar was beeping (Google analytics) so I figured I would pop in here and offer to directly answer any questions or concerns you guys might have. We’ll hit a few things already mentioned first: “age restrictions: Ages 16-18 only may ...

Just a last minute reminder, we are one month out from the sign up deadline for East Wind 6. If you are planning to attend, you need to have a deposit in by the end of Feb and your full balance paid by March 1. Day Player sign ups also close at the end of Feb so if you intend to attend as a day play...

Oh good lord yes, bring what you need to stay safe and sane out there. The general rule is we just try not to make modern things intrude too much into what we are doing so for instance, if you have an Iphone to keep track of the family or work while you are there don't also use it to look up sun moo...

No SC, but I think Fallout is probably coming up from Georgia again.

There's a decent pack of guys coming from Alabama as well if that helps any.

Sure thing. In order for everything not to get buried in forumness we have all the requirements out on the main page here> www.operationeastwind.com So the first thing you need to do is select from either East Bloc or NATO then once you are in there select the nationality you are interested in and y...

16 for day players, 18 for full term. 16-17 can play full time full term with >Admin< approval but that's the exception rather than the norm. Most of our 16-17 year olds who get approved are either coming with a parent who is also attending or are Eagle Scouts, JROTC, etc. By and large, the younger ...

Cannot say anything about what’s locally allowed but I can give you a good bit of field feedback on these. We ran through 300 some odd of these at the last East Wind event and I can tell you they are real a game changer. While they are not actually as effective as many would want them to be, they ar...
