I have been considering an impression for sometime of what my grandfather did during the war. He was a messenger for American pilots attached to a French aroedrome.
So what I have found is company that makes very early style motorbikes. I could very easily convert one into a Great War style bike used then. For those of you who have been to any WWI style events before know how spread out they are. So this seems a lodgical choice an additional impression. Now we would have to add "Down the Road" as well as "Over the Top"

Well for a vehicle type idea, Ive looked into troop trucks and there are only a dozen in the world!! Most in australia where all the armour from any war ends up. So I saw a person use model t trucks. I cannot afford anyof that so I might use one of my moms horses. I have to test how the react to airsoft guns. Is that a decent Idea?? We can find any old calvery styled saddle since they all looked similar.

be careful with the horses, if your riding them and they want you off, then you're screwed, also if they got spooked and trampled some one, i love the idea, just make damn sure you're careful

This is probably the best place to say that we are much better off trying to do what was seen the most of. The average soldier!
The G98 was the most used weapon and seen by all.
This for right now it may be expensive but this is your basic impression. The other stuff is add on and interesting only for display. In the field we want to use the most used and seen.
