This event was posted early in July and the response has been pretty lackluster. I received a bare minimum of pm's regarding it and it appears sensible at this point to cancel the event. The land is still there if people change their minds. It looks like we'll use it to hunt and fish until there is greater interest. Thanks to those of you who took the time to follow instructions and pm me but I don't want to wreck your weekend and you should make other plans for that weekend. Once Again - EVENT CANCELLED.

We have been looking at a winter event, what about that, your field is heavly wooded and would be perfect for a battle of the buldge type scenerio, plus since its in wisconsin there will be better snow fall there then in Illinois. Plus that would give time to prepare fox holes and positions seeing as it is hard to dig in frozen ground.
Also sorry to hear this event was cancelled I really would like to come but move in day at NIU is the 17th so its impossible for me to attend.

Mike and I would host in the fall or the winter but I believe Captain Zak (or is it Pussyboy?) has offered up his Indiana site. Yes, you're right about the terrain, its Ardennes times two - before we post again though I would like to get pm's from those interested in attending something like this. BTW, if you thought April was cold, try it up there in the winter and you may opt for a Fall event.

Thats a good point. April event was freeeezing, fun but not somthing I would reccommend trying again. I still am up for a winter game though. The problem with this Inaugeral Event, was that we just ran out of time. This summer seemed so short and having this event the week school starts for most of us, its just too much. Perhaps next summer we can try this event.

Well, the cold doesnt bug me So, im still up for a winter or fall game... or maybe both (Fall of 1943 maybe? Duking it out through Italy, or Fall of 1944 and the Mad Dash across Euroupe, or it could be the time when we were stalled in Europe due to Monty's Market Garden). Im sorry to hear about this event though, just its a really far drive for me, and i cant just ask my mom to drive me 6 hrs somewhere and then another 6 back. Then i was gonna car pool, but my ride canceled. -Cary

Perhaps next summer we can try this event. I agree, summer's really gone by quickly this year. If this event was a week or two back on the calendar, I'd be able to come.

October is a beautiful time for events. While winter events always seem like a good idea, my experience has been that people talk tough and then don't show up. Just some food for thought.
