Subject: Kraack Attack 1
Ok, due to such a good response to Frank's email
about the subject, Kraack Attack 1 is still on. :^)
Since we've never really decided between the
weekends of August 1-4 or August 8-11, I will decide now. I think most
people responded that August 8-11 is the best weekend, so that is it. If
anyone has any complaints or really, REALLY can't make it that weekend, but
can the previous, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Date: August 8-11 (hostilities to
occur on the 9 and 10)
Place: My house, 3749 Rocky Point
Road, Springfield, OH 45502. Very near dayton, oh, the intersection of
I-70 and I-75
If it is not rainy, people will be welcome to
camp in my yard, though it will be pretty hot. I will send out local
accomodation details within the week.
I will have a release from liability that
everyone must sign. I hate to do it, but the realities of our legal
system will require it. Everyone will be required to wear a paint-ball
style helmet on the field of battle, so please be sure to bring enough for
your group.
I will work like heck to get my tank actually
running by that time - don't know if I will be successfull or
not.
I will have some recon photos of the battlefield
available soon. both before and planned layout. at that point, we
can figure out some scenarios to play. There will be a staging area for
each team, a small town (haybales or boxes) a bridge seperating the two halves
(basically unmowed area that you are not allowed to drive through), and a few
surprises.
You should plan on adding a lighting system to
your tank, so you can identify where it is, and where the barrel is shooting,
because I'd like to have a dusk/night battle saturday night ...
the rest will be team battles, one-on-ones if
people want, and maybe a free-for-all ...
I plan on having some awards (small and cheap
:). maybe for best driver, gunner, of scale, tactician,
etc.
