I would love to go but Skirmish is just to expensive for me, I think a single case is like $105 and 12 or more is $75.

Ok is no one responding because i didnt put date in topic or is it just too early for people to say they are def going. This is a 3,000 player event I can't bel only one other person is going.

Oh and to chris just go in with other people and buy all your paint at once. If you dont have a group just round up people when you get there.

I'm lucky enought to be going with a group already and we only pay 50 a case. And sry but unfortuantly I cant share this price as its preregestered people from our group only. Sry. :cry:

I've been going to Skirmish DDay/ION for the last 2 years and the best I've been able to do is $70 a case and that was working with generals to get the deal. $50 is REALLY low. I would like to know how you do it.

Manike- Will you have any new toys with you this year? Last year it was the Promaster...

I will be there for the 3rd year in a row with my dad. I am German once more, but this year as a 'Sniper'. I figure if I am playing, I might as well earn some points for Deutschland.

If you do not have a big enough group to get discounted paint, then just get in on some with some people around you. Very easy to do.

Is anyone thats going to this event really good with tuning x -valve/lvl 10 and the ult trigger. I have a leak problem that I just cant seem to fix. In addition my ult is kinda setup but it could probably be adjusted a little better still.

Not sure if I will have any new toys or not. You never know... and sometimes you can't tell. ;)

Hahaha, that truly made me laugh. Thank you.

Have yo ever played as the French? I thought about it this year, but I wasn't sure how involved it was. From my previous experiences with D-Day, my guess is that you primarily do missions. Is that an accurate assumption?

I'll be there with the PBN Mod Squad, and around the NPS truck. Please come by and say hello if you get chance. It would be appreciated. I think we are playing German...

Will do, Manike, I'll be there Friday afternoon to play the castle a bit.

Playing the French is fun. You do get alot of missions, but you're usually the goal for the axis or allied missions, they're trying to get a hold of you. That leaves you in a fun position as you get to shoot both sides without them knowing whether you're friendly or not, you switch alliances on a heartbeat meaning you can get away with murder. A lot less standing around waiting for op orders, more in game action, the action is more clandestine being that you're a small rogue group for the most part.
