What happened to the little thing?

It's okay, its still parked under the house. I just couldn't get any of my team to come help me load it, unload it, act as gunner, etc this time. The tank requires a fair amount of personal effort and cost to field, makes for a slow drive over (towing it) and I'll have to leave at o-dark-thirty as it is. But ultimately it is not really suited to Blue Hole's terrain....much of the field is simply inaccessible, there are ground clearance issues, the venue is physically hard on it, etc. Finally there is maintenance (and sometimes repair work) required after every outing and I'll be tied up getting ready for EastWind5, will need the time and $$ for that instead. Figured I'd just save it for a more suitable future date, one where it will be more effective.
So I'll be running with Team AARP instead, and will get to enjoy a different experience at Blue Hole than last time.

I understand man, well at least you get to experience the full enjoyment of this field!

Will anybody be getting videos of this game?

Depends who brings a camera. Hostages may have some depending if they bring them.

My Dad will be coming doing only pictures, but Hes going to be with Gold most of the time I think.

My brother and I will both be attending in ACUs on (I assume) Bravo. I just played the Adventure Beach scenario match this past weekend, and I definitely look forward to getting into some more action down at Blue Hole.

My only concern, however, is the lack of a specific break time. How are players going to recharge batteries? I have a spare battery (that I think I lost this past weekend) but my brother does not. If there are no breaks, are there at least locations where a battery could be plugged in? I'd hate to go dead halfway through the day with no possibility of a recharge. I'm sure there are other folks with the same concern.

I'll probably be taking pictures, but that won't be my primary function for the day.

I'll probably have a camera with me, too.

I had that same concern so I ordered 2 extra LiPos for the game!

There is no electricity on this field whatsoever. Better bring a car charger or extra batteries.

Kinda a stupid question but, the deal with a gas mask. Are regular paper dust masks accepted? I have a lower half chemical mask but didn't really want to bring it out in the field.

Jaguar 12's film crew will be there to film. We're looking to get the bluehole included in our new season of videos

Yes Dust masks are fine...
