    Looks like SGA will have to make 2 stops at the BIG GAME. One with Al Steel and his party tent, the other with Shooter at the Camper. I am guessing thats a campsite, or a real mobile camper?

    Looks like we will be getting the whole AO experience; good to know ahead of time.

        Team SGA standings: Bassem, Benn, Marck, Robyn, Saraphina, Jesse, Myself. We still don't have transportation and Chris is unreachable. At the end of this week I will be recruiting players outside of SGA for transport, unless I get feedback from drivers!

        John Chris where are you guys? Alex and Taylor, this is your last week to join the team as well.

        Also, Lindsay got married...TO HER MARINE bf! Don't worry though, he plays the bugle. Basically this means Lindsay isn't coming. Other options I am considering are Katie (she drives a U-boat) and Bianca (with the stang).

        7 players and 3 spots open

            I'll be playing with Team PennDragon for the GWM. Look for the one German in a MARPAT digital Kilt.

            Sure Invasion of normandy sounds fun BUT IT'S BEING HELD AT SKIRMISH!!! The field looks awsome but the staff and paint are the worst around.
            The skinny on the staff is that they employ young adults (they are the only ones to apply for the positions...and for a pittance of a paycheck). It's hard to check 4008 players with 300 reffs. As previously stated, the players IN GENERAL are good peeps and follow the rules. You get cheaters everywhere and Skirmish is no different. BonusBall them if it makes you feel better.
            There are never enough refs so nobody ever calls out. I don't know how they can even tell who wins these scenerio based games when there are no refs to judge points (it's almost like the outcomes are predecided so the germans always win).
            The reason the Germans win is Team Cohesion. Don't get mad because we have our **** together and the Allies don't. That's part of the game. Follow the Commander's orders and you should do well. Go "rogue" and you lose if for your side. What I've seen in the past is that there are too many 'gloryhounds' tryng to make a name for themselves, based on some foolish maneuver or act. These people need to get over themselves because unless the SIDE (Allied or Axis) wins...they simply lost and have no one to blame but themselves.
            If anyone went to the battle of stallingrad you know just how bad the paint is. I mean seriously why would they use a paint like evil for winter play, I bought a case of paint and maybe had 300 balls come out the end of the barrel without breaking, I understand it was winter but I was using a SL-68 pump that never chops paint. Long story short, it's a beatiful field that is very poorly run, they are only interested in profit!!!
            I was at Stalingrad...and Berlin. Both times i used my Trracer (with my 114/45 ) and yes, the paint was a mismatch for the season but guess what...stuff like that happens. I had a few chops and even more barrel breaks. Guess what...that happens too...especially when running pump. I'll be running my Stage 5'd Ion as my primary and my 68 Magnum as my back up...unless I get this Mag that I've pined for and get it before the game. I may even warp feed it, idk.

            I think the overall sentiment is that with games of this magnitude, stuff is going to happen.

            On a happier note, I'll have a Civil War Officer's Tent (a white canvas replica) placed for Team PennDragon to plant their flag at. Stop by and say yo.

              The paint for D-Day has always been amazing. Draxxus brought a full semi of fresh paint last year and I would expect something similar this year.

              The vendors will probably be alittle weak, considering Boston NPPL is the same weekend.

              Should be a great event as usual. 4th year for Deutschland!
              Hey, look at that! It's Santa!

                  I wish i could get ahold of him John, he needs to know their are no spots left for Rachel. Thats why it was so important he meet with us our first meeting before we locked in Josh! If you read the forum, its all here.

                  I told John about the forum a million times: during convo, even put it on his Apple Fav's. Also, if he was up to date on our forum he would have come to this conclusion. Too bad he didn't responded early enough to my v-mails, I would have been able to lock her in. I didn't hear from John for over 2 months. Rachel's spot was given to JOSH 1 day before John called me czz I informed him if he didn't respond soon, I was going to replace him.

                  Rachel can still go, and I hope she does, for free and camp with us. But if she wants to play its past preg na dprices go up.

                    I understand there was some confusion with the last post. I need everyone to respond this this post so I can make sure there is no confusion with our team. Simply POST A COMMENT STATING YOU HAVE READ THE THREADS AND UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

                    I am going to make this clear as I can. 1 spot was open for whom ever could go last week. we agreed to give it to Josh (Iraq war vet). There are now no spots open for Rachel to play unless a new ticket is purchased for her and paint. Thats amounts to $175. Of course if she doesn't want to play and just hang, no charge.

                    If this influences Johns decision not to some, its ok, I have a back-up driver with a van.

                    Now lets go splat it up and shoot some ball everyone

                            Just for the record, people have called me personally or sent me e-mails stating they understand the situation. So just because only 2 people responded to this post, almost everyone responded to me off the forum stating they understand the situation and agree with the outcome no matter how bad it seems.

                            T.M.

                              John opted to drop out and stated "he was insulted by his treatment as well as not giving much consideration to the forum." I can only say once again the importance of using the forum for all trip concerns.

                              John's replacement will be TALL JAMES! He is 7 ft tall and is driving. He will most likley be leavign with the 4:30 convoy. I am giving out tickets tonight: 4 to Benn and 1 to Tall James (who play bball for NOVA). If anyone has and objection to this hit me up soon.

                              Now lets have some fun and can't wait to see our team at the pool get to gether at Benns tonight. Take care everyone and pray we have a safe journey tomorrow.

                              T.M.


                              PS. I just got a call from bianca and she said she could go, too bad I already gave the spot to Tall James...but well see what happens. This planning trip is not ez at all.

                              Thanks the good people at AUTOMAGS.org for such a useful tool!
