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.
