All good points, but there are several things to consider. Hard to say if ALL players will be able to camp out on Saturday night. Piper will be assisting me with registrations on Sunday morning as I will be immersed in the AO with my fellow jumpers.
But even if all players were to arrive Saturday night, we have to remember that it will be a Sunday and waking up the whole town at 6:30AM to REAL MG-42 fire is probably not the smartest thing in the world to do. Lester has told me that we will not have any problems with the blank fire guns, but not at 6:30 in the AM on a Sunday!
As for the lights, Lester has told me that Village construction is on going and will hopefully be done by June 4th. As for walking in the dark, all players have been instructed to bring flashlights, etc. The Germans should be OK as their positions will be fixed and they can have camp fires, etc as they did not know we were coming. As for the Airborne, we look forward to the cover of darkness!
Thanks for your input and concerns.

I will contact Lester to get an update on the lights. If they are a no go, I'll make arrangements to at least illuminate the Village area.

Now with Gerhard and August Weiss in attendance, the German numbers are shaping up.
If we can only get those U.S. Seaborne Infantry numbers up.
Let's go guys.

Hello Gentlemen, Well it's D-day minus 15 and we are in the final phase of our organization and planning for this event. I'm happy to report that everything is coming together quite well and we are right on schedule. I just felt it necessary to remind everyone of a couple of points/preparations that everyone should be made aware of. 1) It is strongly recommended that everyone participating in the night mission have a period flashlight. While the Germans will mostly be sleeping at their posts, completely unaware that their fate and positions will be vanquished by end of day, they too should have flashlights with them. All Airborne and French Resistance fighters must have period flashlights with them. Safety first everyone! We do plan on having adequate lighting in the AO, but it is impossible to illuminate the entire 62 acres. Please see link:http://www.whatpriceglory.com/shopexd.asp?id=817&bc=no 2) For all Airborne troops, you must carry this item, or you risk being shot by friendly fire: www.whatpriceglory.com/shopexd.asp?id=263&bc=no3) It is also recommended that you bring with you adequate rations for this event. You can find rations for both German and Allied at: reprorations.com/index.htm4) It is also recommended that everyone carry w/ them either a FRS radio or a whistle. In case of injury, we want you to be able to notify us. Remember, we will be in the dark and you never know. If you carry an FRS radio and are not a CO or event coordinator, you can keep it off unless in case of an emergency. Hope everyone understands the importance of this. More on this at the safety briefing. So in two weeks time we will all be gearing up for our premier event, I hope you all are as pumped up and excited as I know I am. All of us working behind the scenes are putting in the extra effort to make this an unforgettable experience and something we will all fondly remember. Any critique/suggestions are always welcomed as it is not too late to adjust. But I feel we are firing on all cylinders and are ready to go. I am hopeful that we can get a few more registrations in and especially add to our Seaborne Infantry count. Pass the word Gents. Regards, Migs

Once again a superb job Migs! I am confident this will be THE premier airsoft event of the year! I regret that I could not be involved in the planning more.
Guys... We owe it to ourselves and migs to be sure that each and everyone of us do our part to make this the best event ever before, during and after the event!

On a separate note, I have noticed that some have stated on the facebook page they will be attending, but I have not received their registration. It is very important that all who are planning to attend register.
The following have stated on facebook but have not registered with me. If I do list your name in error, please forgive my mistake and PM me. I am not familiar with everyone's call sign/alias yet.
Sgt Saunders Nick Mayer Bill Hawkner
So once again, I need your registration information.
Thank you for your cooperation, Migs

Did about a 3 hour social media promotional blast this morning to promote the event and our organization. It is amazing, how well the promotional assets of facebook are!
If you guys are not registered you better do so!
