So did we ever come up with a time a place to meet for going out thursday night?
Might try to get some playing time in on thursday if we get there early enough as well.

Wo Hop is an awesome little chinese food place in Chinatown in NYC.

The food is good, the prices are cheap, and for some reason it has a cult following. Its also open 24 hours a day.

Im there at least once a week :)

I have a favor to ask of anyone who lives near the area.

Jon has told me before that fireworks are legal in Illinois.

I need ones that go boom. M80s, M100s, quartersticks, cherry bombs, whatever.

If anyone who lives near Joliet or somewhere in that area knows someplace that sells the above, please drop me a PM :)

I am Driving from Indiana over tell me what you want and how much you want to spend and I will get it for you.

We want to complete as many missions as we can over the 8-10 hour period we have. That is how we whoop federation and klingon ***!

In some ways this is true Fred but not entirely. We are looking at very large teams and coordinating missions that large is going to be difficult. I am assuming that there may also be points for holding some area etc. I can tell you that since we are using MXS rules I think they may be using the same style of scenario. That means missions called in every 15 min. Now if you take out a command bunker and hold it for say 45 minutes then they miss 3 missions. Also props are worth points and power in a game like this. You find a prop stash or they leave something in the command bunker and you own it.
Now I have to agree that we need to focus on missions not taking over a worthless piece of realestate but command bunkers are a viable target with the right timing manpower and goals in mind.

Hmmmm...this is paintball right? We do still hit people with 68 cal balls of paint in hopes that it breaks on them and they call themselves out...right?

If you are refering to our scenario issues you need to know this is not just a paintball game where you shoot people. Although you hope to do a lot of that too. I know people that spend most of the time at these games without a marker. If you want to know more about how a scenario is different let me know. If not I won't bother.

If you are talking about the fireworks nevermind.

Smoke Grenades.

Can anyone get any cool burning smoke grenades/bombs that will be legal for the game? I would like to get a few but can't find anything local. I can pay at the event or we can figure something out.

I have looked around a lot and never found any. I have seen a few instruction manuals for making your own but nothing that produced enough, easily enough, to make it worth it. If you find a source please let me know.
