Well the last time I think we had 7 and it was a great time. So if we have 12/13, that will be just fine.
For anyone still considering coming, don't be deterred by the small numbers, this field is really conducive to a small event. It will hold a larger event as well, but it plays really well for the numbers we/re looking at.
Looking forward to it.

Yeah, we dcide how much of the field to use depending on the numbers. This time, maybe we'll try to use a lot more, so we have patrols/recon going on.

Post by brownien on Nov 2, 2013 11:16:17 GMT -5
Agreed! I would prefer to have individual missions, with breaks in between, but do a lot more recon type objectives, rather than just capture the flag kinds of objectives. I did enjoy the capture the flag games we did last time, so we should still sprinkle a couple in too!

I did enjoy the capture the flag games we did last time, so we should still sprinkle a couple in too! I agree as well. Recon missions are always fun and really keep you on your toes. But we can also satisfy our fighting needs with some good old capture the flag. Lots of shooting went on the last time. Migs

Looking forward to this too! I'll make sure to bring my bc1000. I have been having some issues with the output speaker being too quiet. I'll try to swap it out for a louder one, and I'll try to healthy up for this! Stomach bug floating around

Hey Issah,
I know you said you'll be providing sandwiches and water at the field, is this still the case?
Just trying to figure out what to bring.
Thanks,
Migs.
BTW, Me included, there will be 5 of us coming.

One thing not directly related to this event:
We are going to be covering WWII soon at the school where I teach, and I'd like to be able to show the kids both Axis and Allied combat uniforms. I have the Axis side covered (in spades!) but only have a few bits and bobs of US grear (helmet, spats, greatcoat, and... not much more).
Does anyone who is coming to the event have a US rig-- regualr army, airborne, whatever-- that they could loan me for a couple weeks? All I would be doing with it would be putting it on a mannequin and letting the kids in the classroom look at it and check it out a bit. Not particular about branch of service, but would like it to be an authentic ensemble that is consistent with how real stuff would have been worn/used in combat. Since it's a school obviously no weapons or facsimiles, just the uni and gear.
Those who've been at events with me should know there is no question of me getting it back to you quickly and in good order, but if some sort of deposit would make you feel more secure, I'm sure we can work something out. Would want to pick it up at the event, and get it back to you either in person or shipped (depending on your location) within a few weeks. If anyone can help out with this, it would be much appreciated! Just PM me if you can so as not to crowd the thread. Thanks.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Looks like good weather for us. I'm hoping all who said their coming can make it. I will be sending a PM to Issah with my cell # and requesting he gives me his in return. I think all should do the same with him just as a back up. Last time we waited around for some who never showed, this way we can at least call instead of waiting around in the dark so to speak.
Until tomorrow,
Migs

Went very well. About 9 people until the 2nd to last game, then we got 2 others. Very good combat throughout the day, went from about 11 until 5.30.

AAR and pictures will be up soon.
Great time today. Excellent field and Issah1944 did a great job hosting. Really enjoyed ourselves. Small numbers but a lot of action.
AAR to follow.
