Battle of the Bulge / Battle of Budapest Tactical, 11-13 January 2008 at Camp Clark in Nevada, MO
G Co, 137th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division, a unit of the WW II HRS, will host a Battle of the Bulge / Battle of Budapest tactical battle at the Missouri National Guard training site, Camp Clark, in Nevada, MO from 11-13 January 2008. This event is open to all ETO reenactors.
Camp Clark is located on the southeast side of Nevada, MO. Nevada is 75 miles south of Kansas City, MO and 61 miles north of Joplin, MO. Take the Camp Clark exit off of US 71 Highway in Nevada and follow the signs to Camp Clark. The training area is one square mile of rolling hills, woods, creeks, and trails. The site is infantry friendly and open to light wheeled vehicles. Vehicles must stay on the trails.
Event Fee: $15
Heated barracks will be provided on Friday and Saturday night. The barracks rooms have bunk beds with mattresses and pillows. You need to bring your own sheets, blankets, or sleeping bags. A continental breakfast will be served Saturday morning and a hot meal will be served on Saturday evening after the battle. The barracks and meals are included in the registration fee.
USO Club/Café: There will be a club/café open both Friday and Saturday nights offering snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. The Missouri National Guard prohibits the consumption of alcoholic beverages on post, including the barracks and the club. The club will have 40’s music, tables for card games, and an assortment of snack food items. Your registration fee gets you $5 worth of “script” to spend at the club. There are also several bars and taverns located in the town of Nevada for those so inclined.
Registration will open at 1400 hours on Friday, 11 Jan 08 and close at 0800 hours on Saturday, 12 Jan 08. A picture ID is required to gain access to the base. A member of the event staff will be posted at the front gate to help you in gaining access to the base.
Pre-Registration is not required, but unit commanders are encouraged to contact the event sponsor with head count numbers for barracks space and meal planning. Barracks space is limited to 144 bunks.
Vendors: Limited indoor vendor spaces are available for no charge. Tables and chairs will be provided.
Safety and Authenticity Inspection will be held at 0830 hours on Saturday, 12 Jan 08. WW II HRS safety and authenticity rules will apply.
The battle will go from 0900 to 1700 hours on Saturday, 12 Jan 08 only. Participants must be cleared out of the barracks by 0900 on Sunday, 13 Jan 08.

Our intent is to run several small unit (squad-on-squad or platoon-on-platoon) tactical lanes throughout the training area, similar to what we did last year during our Battle of the Bulge event. Each lane will be staffed by Observer/Controllers as in the past. We would like to have one of the lanes dedicated to Eastern Front reenactors (hence the Batle of Budapest part), but this will only work if we can get enough Russian reenactors. We would need at least 12-15 to give them a lane. More would be better. If we don't get enough Russians, we will run GI/Brit/etc. against Germans in all of the lanes.
