D-Day AOer's Roster

[Mega Man]

This is just a thread I thought I would make to see who alls going to D-Day since I know that their is a fairly good portion of people on AO who are going. I'll be going for sure along with my dad, a friend of mine and his dad, and maybe a couple of other guys but i'm not positive on them, anyways we will be allies, 101st, Me and my friend and our dads have been going to D-Day and a Bridge Too Far since 99 and we know the layout well so hope to see yalls their!

[CoFFeY[NiTrO]]

# 92 to sign up baby!!!!

[Doobie]

Me and my wife will be there! 82nd Airborne. We played on the Rangers last year and had a great time. She broke her leg on Xmas eve and is still recovering from it. She will not be able to do the course for the special teams. Dewayne said he would "Grandfather" us in as I am an Army Ranger and she played last year. I don't want to subject her leg to all the walking we did year! I had a great time and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of you!


p.s. Is anyone going to run the obsticle course? I need a running buddy. I'm just doing it for fun and won't be playing on a special team.

[Mega Man]

Same here Doobie, me and my friend are considering running the obstical course just for the heck of it. Maybe we can take a whack at it.

[Doobie]

We will be arriving on the 5th. I plan on having some sort of AO banner near my tent. Come over and say Hi guys!

[Tack]

Doobie, If you all don't want to be with the ranges but still on a special opps team feel free to join us as tank busters. We have been promised at least 2 full platoons worth of players to fill in. I'll be one of the platoon leaders as far as I know. Kinda got roped into it without volunteering but I guess it's cool. We had a practice several weeks back and I let my team to several victories even against dug in troops.

Anyone else who wants to join us that is playing the 82nd just drop me a line here on email [email protected] . I'll put your name on our roster so we can get a good count.

[Doobie]

Explain the "tank buster" thing more. Do you all have air cannons to deal with the Tanks? (Maybe a dumb question) 2 platoons to protect the gunners? Sounds interesting. I owe the german Tankers (spefically Tueful Schwien) for shooting me in the head last year!

...O.K. Let me 'splain. I was charging the tank with 4 balls left to distract them from the Rangers and praying to hit the Kill switch. The distraction worked, I missed the switch, and then got shot in the bean for my efforts! Left a lump on my head. Good fun.

This is one reason I resent living in the civilized regions of Northern New Jersey... Too far from the D-Day event... Plus, I'd still be in school.

mag_pbg, I just started working down at the Bunker, reffing, working on D-Day, filling up air, etc.

[Tack]

Doobie,

We are going to be carrying at least 2 if not more sholder fired air cannons with each platoon. They are sweet, The cannons we made also come with a mortar barrell so they can be set up to lob grenades and stuff into bunkers and firebases.

The air cannons will carry a specific colored paint different from the rest of us, That way when we shoot a tank if any of the paint hits the tank it is destroyed.

The Cannons are kinda heavy but not too bad. We are thinking of splitting off into gunners and A gunners with squad sized cover. The A gunner will be incharge of most of the ammo but we will probablly split up some ammo throughout the squads so if the A Gunner gets hit we won't be SOL.

We did some training several weeks ago and found that the cannons really work at a good range, unfortunatlly you have to be close enough to use them that the bad guys can shoot back. That is why the rest of the squad will be there to provide cover fire.
