2012

 

March 3 - New!

Public Display - Chisholm Trail Gun Show at the Coliseum, Wichita, KS.  The show runs from 9am – 5pm on Saturday and 9am – 4pm on Sunday.  The WWII Reenacing Corps will be setting up a display again this year.  This is a great event to pick up recruits.  The more guys we have there in uniform, the better we do, and the more professional we look.  If you'd like to attend and help out, contact Erik Runge to let him know if when you can make it.

March 16-18

Tactical - Eastern Front Battle, Macon Missouri Army National Guard Training Site, Macon, MO.  HRS Event.  Hosted by the 38th Jäger Regiment.  This is an HRS sponsored event.  Camping is allowed on Friday and Saturday night, but it must be period-correct camping gear.  Tactical goes from 9am to 4pm on Saturday.  If you want to attend or if you have questions, contact David Overschmidt.

April 13-14 - New!

Tactical - Meurthe River '44, Ponca City, OK.  This could be an Ost Front or ETO event, depending on Allied response.  Camping allowed Friday night.  The tactical will include a Friday night scenario.  The main tactial is from 9am - 4pm on Saturday.  Historically this event has cost $15 and includes a hot breakfast and lunch on Saturday.  More details to come.  If you'd like to attend or if you have questions, contact Bob Hartung.  

April 27-29 - New!

Public Display and Battle - WWII Weekend at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, MO.  The Corps will be returning to JB again this year.  JB is one of the largest WWII reenacting events in the country.  Past events have seen 450+ reenactors and up to 20,000 spectators.  There are two battles on Saturday and one on Sunday.  On Saturday night there is a canteen dance with a live band playing 40's music.  Last year, the dinner cost $10.  In years past, we've found it's easier to get a motel for Friday and Saturday night, then to drive home first thing on Sunday morning.  If you'd like to camp out, you have to register for a spot.  Get more info at http://2ndrangers.org/wwii_weekend.php.  Contact Erik Runge if you're interested in attending, and we can work on setting up a caravan.
