Hey guys, I was wondering if y'all have one of your famous Chicagoland games planned for August? If so I might be able to make it out to one. Any plans as of yet?

Plans are being made for a game possibly even earlier than that, but some stuff need to be sorted put before we set a date, thois stuff beeing were we are going to have it since as of now we dont have a field to play on. We may be having a boot camp using my actuall property to work on battle fiedl tactics seeing as both sides severly lack they field disapline of squad tactics, field movement, fire dicapline ect....

ZAK, is still confirming if the field is clear. Otherwise a new Indiana Interstate will be going through it...We are currently working on a Sicily and Anzio themed landing with actual beach. Will post more details. Sadly I do not know what lies ahead for august, but Im sure an event can be set up.

Go4Broke, would you be able to make an event in early July? You could try to come to our MTO event July 6th and 7th. It looks like it's shaping up to be a knock out event!

Haha Jul. 6-7 - that's like the worst weekend for me lol. I'm driving 375 miles down to Los Angeles for a living history event that Saturday, and driving 400 miles back up for a 442nd vet's 90th B-Day party on Sunday. Gah I hate you guys, that Anzio/Dragoon scenario sounds like so much fun too! I'm going to be out there around mid-August so like the weekend of the 11th and 12th or the 25th and 26th would be good, or anywhere in between except the 18th and 19th.

TommyGunner -
Guys - the part about not having a field to play on is simply not true. In the threads I have heard about a 100+ acre parcel in Michigan, a hunting tract of land near EauClaire, and 68 acres in Northern Wisconsin (courtesy of the ersatz brothers). Even though these things get mentioned it appears the interest is low for travel. If you guys want to have a battle the land is out there. What seems to be the hang up is that it isn't close to the Chicago area. My guess is that large tracts will tend to be more rural and available and it will be harder to play on land in a place like northern Illinois as land prices are more and the land isn't as available. If people are willing to drive for multiple day events the land appears to be north of you Illinois players. Playing on any land is great and the April event was on what, 10-20 acres? The MTO event is on how large a land area? I don't know. The Indiana field is ten acres. These tracts are close to Illinois players but they are still fairly small. They will limit manuever. You guys should think Northern Wisconsin in August.. the weather then is great and it could be right before school.

Sorry to resurrect, but do any of you have experience with Kerrik from Wolf Recon? Kerrik has access or connections to significant parcels of land in Wisconsin, and has expressed interest of holding a WWII themed game in the near future. I agree with the above point that travel would most likely be a problem, but even for non WWII airsoft games, there is nothing near chicago (short of RoR and CPX which have m-m-m-m-monster problems).
