I've just been told one of the nordic larpers I know is running this at the end of April, aimed at an international playerbase:

any thoughts?  Would you like a larp like this?

Do you think we have larps 'like this' in the UK? if not, why don't we?

Very Robert Harris Fatherland generated

But I do think LRP is a hobby best enjoyed in a positive state of mind.
If you approach a game with a positive attitude then you're more likely to enjoy yourself there.

I think we do, and I think they're called freeforms.

Having dropped that grenade, I'll be going...

I'm on the UK-freeforms yahoogroup. In my experience, most UK freeforms don't run for anything like this length, or make efforts like this on location / set dressing. Most are short events for play at conventions rather than full length larps in their own right.

That looks very cool, cheers for posting that link up. I'm quite tempted, especially as it's somewhat similar to a Fatherland LRP concept a friend and I wanted to run some years ago, albeit that was on a much smaller scale.

Looks like it could be promising, couple that with the tantalising prospect of a long weekend in Denmark and I'm quite sold on the idea.
