Ze Soviet ranks are swelling. Soon Landrik and Ethan will be unable to resist the urge to join the Red Ranks any longer. Then, George and Joer, Vorposten and Wolfy...and before long...ZAC! MUWHAHAHAHAH

Gotta say, the greatest purchase I've ever made is the soviet field mug. It's basically blackened on the inside from near constant use holding everything from pivo to coke. Thinking of scratching the name of some lovely zhenshchina on it to differentiate it a bit but I'm torn between Zoya and Alina at the moment, and inkling on what'd look better?

I refuse...........................only because the local soviet unit are the gayest men you will ever meet.

not really though  :(  The soviet unit dressed up with 90's soviet equipment. Trust me I know that shit because I wanted a 90's impression for airsoft.  I'm going to make my German unit a secondary unit and making L Company, 16th IR - 1st ID my main unit next year.  All my 4 grandparent and uncles gonna be proud.

So are American impressions basically taboo among respectable ww2 reenactors? Seems like it's considered kind of a copout.

Alright alright, I was just wondering what the general sentiment was. I have no personal opinion whatsoever - I just thought it could be possible that some people would avoid American units because they were too run of the mill or whatever. Fair enough though, I suppose the type of people to reenact wouldn't exactly care about that kind of thing

Ohhhh I get it.  I had the same thought, thats why I did German first since I was able to find a progressive unit.  After doing 4 events so far, I finally found a progressive GI unit. Americans are easily more to be annoying than Germans. Cuz everyone is like fuck yeah america. But there is still some great GI unit somewhere, ya gotta dig around.

Ah yeah, that was sort of my impression as well. I talked to my uncle who's a reenactor in the Midwest and he said he didn't like a lot of American units because they didn't take their impressions as seriously as the German and Soviet guys. I guess it varies greatly though.
