You're out in the woods camping while using only the equipment that the real thing had available to them at the time. You're out in the woods creeping around trying to follow a senario that was developed, and shooting at Germans with real guns firing blanks who are shooting back. then you go back to camp and eat and the germans let you shoot their machineguns! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /> Both I and a freind of mine who is in the same unit are gamers and agree that the only real difference between us and fantasy gamers is that there are actual real gernades but not lightning bolts, however the actual mechanics are the same (you yell "gernade" and throw it at the person you wish to blow up). Given some of the guys penchant for authenticity, if I gave myself a British name (I play a British paratrooper.) and only acted in character and talked with a fake accent, nobody would care.</p></blockquote><p></p>
