"Delta 3 to Alpha 1, over"

"Alpha 1, go ahead Delta 3, over.'

"Delta 3, I have eyes on activity. I see what appears to be construction of a communications tower and bunker. Tower appears functioning and hardening of bunker and surrounding emplacements currently underway. Unknown number of hostiles, but definitely enemy origin. over."

"Alpha 1, wait one Delta 3, out'

"Alpha1 to all Delta elements. Please converge on Delta 3s position. Assess situation and if possible secure tower location. Enemy emplacement must be taken, not destroyed. I say again TAKE not destroy, Reinforcements are now en-route. Over'

Additional IP Camera setups to watch base perimeter and in game action.

More Artie Sims

We have run 'other' combat sports events before so we are pretty prepped for hosting, but would LOVE to hear from other players about what to add or change or improve before and after the event.

Site and house is kid friendly, so if non-player want to come and hang out there will be other here already so they wont be bored while the games are in progress. RSVP of this would be helpful as well.

SO......who can come? I NEED a headcount before the event! I have some confirmations already (you know who you are).

Thanks, Lucuis. We want it to be worth peoples traveling. We have about 15 players in the local area, but already have commitments from folks out of town so want make sure they will enjoy themselves.

It IS a long weekend, so if people want we can spread it out over 2 days of play and leave Monday...but right now its pretty open.

And if anyone wants to do a casual game here and or visit to add to field features, the field is still very virgin. I have permission from Chris to do one below ground battlement, if anyone want to lend a hand. My neighbor has a mini backhoe to aid in the digging part. That way its neater too.

hmmm...what happened to Lucius's post?

that is one of the odder things I have seen on this forum...

I think you used your admin abilities and wrote over his post instead of replying.

I was worried I did...grrrrr!

om nom nom nom, lol. no worries.

I would like to go too, but i have no idea if i will be able. I will know more closer to the date.

I know that I am working that weekend already. I would be more than happy to send anyone who wants to rent and travel down with my guns. Same rental price you just get the guns the whole long weekend.

As this is the first time we are doing MayDay, field fee is by donation and goes to event costs like tp, and that sort of thing. We will know better after first event what are the actual event costs.

If you want in on the canteen, 2 brekkies(thinking porriage and sausages/bacon, 1 bag lunch (meat sandwich, granola bar,fruit, juicebox, bottled water), 2 dinners (hotdogs friday night, saturday - burgers)

We are thinking we can do that for $15 CAN if you bring your own messkit.

Also if we are feeding you, we need to know about allergies and or vegans in advance.

The firepit is available to cook you own if you wish as well...some limited access to BBQ while meals are being cooked. Personal cook stoves welcome.

While answering a bunch of questions on another list, they also asked if I have any pics. I said yes, and I promised I would post one:

This event has been RESCHEDULED TO JUNE 18-20 (arrival and camping set-up Friday, gaming Saturday, pack up and head out Sunday) due to a lack of attendance commitment and a military exercise schedule conflict with the 4RPG.

As some of you may know, I am a proud member of the CF branch, the Canadian Rangers. The Rangers suddenly announced a week-long op (out of town, of course, and starting on the same day), after I had scheduled and announced the Mayday event, so I have a chance to go to that instead of hosting this. Despite a lot of positive feedback, though, only four people had actually committed, so I have some flexibility here.

We're rescheduling to the next weekend we have available, which is the June 19th/20th weekend, with arrival on Friday the 18th (and perhaps some evening games on Friday if people are into it). Same schedule and scenarios as on the original dates. The good news is that the weather ought to be a lot warmer (dammit, stop snowing!!), and we'll literally have as much light to play in as possible: it's the longest day of the year that weekend. So don't waste those few extra minutes of daylight doing something lame; come play Airsoft!

Our testing has shown that we can still use our smoke grenades in static positions for the assault on the tower bunker, even at the higher end of the fire restrictions, and I think we'll be able to do campfires in our brazier (which is enclosed, off the ground, and in a fire pit) with fire restrictions too.

If you're intending to come, please let me know ahead of time so we can sort out the logistics (food etc). If you decide to drop in at the last minute you ARE welcome, but you most likely WON'T be able to make use of the canteen as we need to buy supplies ahead of time. There'll be coffee though, and you're welcome to bring your own food.

Our commitment to this event is ONLY as strong as people's willingness to commit to attending, so if you want to see this event happen, let me know you're coming!

For those of you who did make a commitment, please let me know if the new date works for you. I will contact you directly as well.

See you in June.

Just a reminder, this event is happening this weekend. If anyone here is thinking of attending, please let me know.

Currently there are 16 confirmations from Vancouver, Quesnel, and 100 Mile House but ZERO from Prince George. Anyone here planning on coming?

Weather reports expect temps of 18-22 degrees, mostly sunny with a some showers. So we should not be overheating. Mosquitoes have been very mild so far as well, but bringing bug spray would probably be a good idea.

So far I have had requests for
a) a Friday night game instead of Saturday.
b) a pistols/ shotgun only scenario

I should be able to accommodate both. If you have flashlight/laser attachments, and pistol or shotguns, bring em.

Already there. Well, not literally. Like, you don't have to look out your window or anything, but, you know. 'I'll be there for sure' is what I'm getting at.

my dad and I cant make it

Work

You guys are really gonna be missin out, I'm tellin ya. The vids will speak for themselves.

Event was a success. Here is some video. Written summary to follow.
