As you know I have just recently become a member of the forums here, and in reading through them I have noticed that there are no events planed for around the northern Illinois are. I see that there are several people from chicago, the areas surrounding, and Wisconsin.
It looks to me that a day long senerio would be possible. I know that a huge ammount of planning is involved when putting something like a game together, but what I would like to know is if there are any games in the workd for June, July or August.
The small five minent long skermishes with my friends just arnt cutting it anymore, now that I have my Thomspon there is no more competition and Im craving the battle field.

Have there been any specifics planned for the game yet, ie Date, Place, minimum # of people, start time, end time?

We just had a failed attempt at an event, no one other than myself and five others could show up. It was quite dissappointing. If you have a field, or know where one is that we could use, then we can start to plan an earlier one. But, it is difficult.

We need a minimum of 15 pllayers to have a private field. The field also raised the price from last year. It is now $20.00 for the day and you provide your own lunch & ammo.
If we can nail down a date I'll make the reservation with the field. Let's get on a date and hopefully have an event.

Well because of My Internship at Revell Monogram, which will be Monday Tuesday and Wednessday, and working for my Father at his bussiness Thursday and Friday, any days planned during the week over the summer are impossible for me to attend.
But because I have absolutly nothing going on on my weekends I should be good for any week end past the 20th. Actually if a game could be planed for the 20th I might be able to make it, the only promblem is that I have a Cello Recitle from 10:00am to about 1:00pm. but like I said after the 20th and day on the weekend I will be compleatly free.

I just had another thought, Capt. Zak said that we need a minimum of 15 players to reserve the feild, what if we played in the woods behind my house. Its very large, about 10 acres and the senerio possibilities are endless. It has a large creek that runs through the middle of it about 5ft deep and is a perfect trench.

Unfortunetly the property is not mine (parents did try to buy it but he refused to sell to us). I do know the man and I would have no problem in asking him if the land could be used for a day. As long as he knows we ar back there I am sure he will have no problem with it.

If you don't have the waiver signed & notorized...you don't play. Try floating the idea to him. If he wants to talk legalities PM me and I'll give you my number.

Cap. Zak- Today I will see if I can get in touch with the owner and see if he will let us use the land. But I am sure if I ask him he would like to know when it will be used, so are there any dates wher we can all do a game?

Russian- I did not get in contact with him yet because I think it would be more polite and formal if I came to him with a date for us to be using his field.
Come up with some free dates guys, I think that if we had at least 6 people it would make for a fun game, and the sooner I know the date this can happen the sooner I can try and scrounge up some more people to play with.
