[P90killer]

will this be "milsim mags" rules or will this event allow high, mid, low, and star mags. also idk if it matters but is this game relivant to BF 2 or is this just a fun type game. also will there be breaks or will games go all day.

[Dutton]

Blade posted earlier, this event will be more casual, no mag and ammo limitations.

[Grease Man]

I believe from earlier posts Blade attempted, but got deleted, he said it wasnt going to be part of the blind fury series.

[P90killer]

yeah i found it all silly me not looking back in the post history

[Chapman]

Team B.I.C. will consider coming, we need more info before we can give a diffenant though.

[Huey]

I asked about medic rules and my post got deleted... strange.

So I will ask again... will there be the use of medics or not? Need to know what to prepare.

[Scorpion]

Something that needs to noted as well is team recognition. I'm sorry if it has been answered in the previous thread attempt, but will there be armbands or will camo pattern determine teams. If it is the latter i need to change my pattern to match my team(woodland).

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers - :)

[Armyguy]

Yeah, my team needs more information also, theres like nothing about it.

[Dougrich]

I've got to bail, because I'm going to Ball state unversity for the weekend to hang out with my cousin and look at scholarship oppurtnities.

It will be a fun game. Organized more around team work than actual mag/ammo limitation.


I believe from earlier posts Blade attempted, but got deleted, he said it wasnt going to be part of the blind fury series.

It is indeed, not part of Blind Fury sequel.


Team B.I.C. will consider coming, we need more info before we can give a diffenant though.
Details will be posted this weekend. Although, there is not much to say beside that if you want to play with your own squad, it might be a good occasion. The number of players coming will decide how the players will be divided.


will there be the use of medics or not?

I'd like to keep the medic role active for this event.


but will there be armbands or will camo pattern determine teams?
I will not have any armbands, although, I will do my best to divide the team depending on their BDU pattern.

We will run quick missions (30min to 90min max) and yes, we will have a lunch break since we would like the squad/teams to have a chance to debrief and work on what has to be corrected within their team.

Will lunch be provided, or is it just a break time to eat our own food?

[strikers_blade]

There will be a lunch time to eat your own food :D

[Chapman]

I checked the site today (sun) and didn't realy see anything new, nothing about how it was going to be or what the scenario is...

[strikers_blade]

Chapman,

I will put all the details up but again, this event is not scenario based. It is pretty much a fun game, scenario will be decided on site, as well as ROE. Don't worry, you will be busy all day as I have no intention to keep people at the staging area for too long.

That is the best news that can heard for these kind of games!:D

EDIT - I can't remeber, are grills allowed if we keep them by our cars in the parking lot? I know Wallace had one for his game.

[snipe]

are you going to be evening the snipers out between teams? i registured as niper but im not 100% sure i will be using my Kar98 because as a gas gun the weather can make or break it

[Dante]

hey blade could i still play with my squadmates if i had marpat and they have woodland or will i be forced to be on the opposing team? hopefully i wont have to do so but as of now i am still waiting on my bdu's from airsoft arms.

[D-Boy]

Guess I will be coming so it is more for fun like Wallace's last game.



Jack

[strikers_blade]

D-Boy, yes, it will be a fun game like Wallace do, but that doesn't mean you cannot get your team all together and practice a little ;)

Dante, Well, as players always want to be easily IDed, we will have no choice but to split the team by BDU...unless players start to say they do not care about BDU difference ;)

Scorpion, Grills are allowed as long as under control.


NOW A BIG NOTE: Guns above 550fps (sniper) will not be allowed. Sorry for the error on www.airsoftevents.com .

[rifleman]

i thought i was going to be able to come but i thought wrong previous engaugements.:(

[Chapman]

sorry for mentioning by team Brothers in Christ is having between 6-8 people coming to this event and when I registered I had to mark No Team because B.I.C. was not an option.

[notabob]

chapman, you have to go here
http://www.airsoftevents.com/modules.php?name=Team_Registration
to register your team first

also, blade, if you would be so kind as to delete my registration for the 101st airborne G company but dont delete my registration under the devil dogs. thanks.

[strikers_blade]

Guys, Just a reminder for those that read the rules earlier this month;

There will be no 600fps weapons allowed in the field. It was a Typo error from my part.

So if you guys are interested to play team vs team games, please register on www.airsoftevents.com .

[Veritas]

woohoo! I CAN COME!!! yeeeeehaw. now i just need a ride :( all my transport is up in MI. if anyone would be wlling to help me out, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

*note* if im signed up twice, please delete my first signup.

[D-Boy]

Ya if there is anyone that has 40mm shells i would like to see if you could let me borrow some with a deposit down on them.

Thanks,
Jack

[solution_zero]

Blade- solution_zero and PointMan will not be able to make it due to prior plans.
See you all at Blind Fury 2

[notabob]

blade, now if you'd be so kinda as to remove my registration under the "devil dogs." my allegiance has been switched to 6mm. sorry about all the switching and stuff...there shouldnt be any more of it ;)

[strikers_blade]

solution zero, I will modify your entry right away.

Notabob, I will also modify your entry.

[Scorpion]

Frank I will be in woodland camo with the rest of my team and NOT in digi as i am registered. Sorry for the extra work.

[Chapman]

I'm gonna have to bail on this one not enough money...

:(

[MCinimicus]

Hey guys...inimicus here. No one here probably remembers me however I did manage to attend Fran Bar September 25th I believe of last year (met P90Killer, Cigar, John, his girl, Dark Obliv, Prose, gawked at GreaseMan's 249, met Mojave, a few more iP guys as well as a few DNA aka DHG and DeadBoyz players). Those of you there might remember me as the only guy there with 6 color desert and a G36C suppressed packin a silver Ruger MKII as a sidearm and playin as the only non-iP member on iP's team for the most part of the day (curteosy of intelligence Plot). Anyway, I've been out of the game for awhile but I think I'm gonna make a cameo at OP:CS this weekend. I've missed out on a lot and also just now (2 minutes ago) found out about this so please pardon my ignorance but will there be any onsite vendors such as Francois? I hope to enroll as a guest participant of Team Phalanx borrowing gear and the like (since I've long since gotten rid of mine) however I still need BBs. Also, if anyone wants to go out on a limb and rent me out a sidearm I'd be ever so grateful. Web gear as well. My desperate cries probably reek of that rancid, putrid newb smell (lol j/k) but I assure you anyone willing to extend a hand of curteosy will be rewarded with a fatter wallet and I'll be sure to take care of your stuff (6 year veteran if you please :D). Let me know if you're willing to help a brother out. Thank you for your time.

[notabob]

mcinimicus, i guess that means ill get to meet you in person. if frank can bring an mk1 hopup bucking with him then you can use my KJW mk1 as a backup for free if you would like to. frank, if you still have any, then i would like to buy an mk1 hopup bucking from you at OP: CS.

[Scorpion]

Dress warmly everyone, we got rain and 40F temps on the forecast.

I know i will be there no matter what, i hope everyone else feels the same.

EDIT - Kip I have a BHI LBH suspender kit that you can use; It has two triple m16 mag pouchs.

[grunt]

Dress warmly everyone, we got rain and 40F temps on the forecast.

I'm not trying to argue but I have seen different...50s-60s and partly cloudy; but hey, who knows...IT'S OHIO!:p

EDIT: I did find this though...This weekends weather for Springfield (http://www.weather.com/activities/driving/interstate/weather/weekend.html?locid=45502)

EDIT: I guess my news channel was wrong this morning.

EDIT: Hmm...just now on the 10 o'clock news it was saying 56 degrees for Saturday. (get the weather straight!)

[strikers_blade]

Guys, until Thursday, I would not sweat on it....

[grunt]

True, Blade...We will see then.

[MCinimicus]

I'm still debating on going (gas, all the driving, no signals in my vehicle, etc) but should I attend, I'll be bringing a friend (the same as last time...the guy with the video camera) and he's been out of the game for years. Is there anyone out there that's got an extra AEG on hand?

[wormyxl]

hey... sry bout this blade but due to factors unseen i will need u to take me and my friend off the list for counterstirke..... we are combat wambat and ice...

Thanx

wormyxl

[Veritas]

one day to go! the suspense is killing me...i have to find a way to waste away tomorrow, since i have nothing to do.

[notabob]

blade, i sent you a couple emails regarding some parts i will need at the game. also, will this event be cancelled due to bad weather or is it rain or shine? i will be there regardless, but i am just curious.

[strikers_blade]

Combatwomabt, I removed you and Ice from the roster.

Notbabob, rain or shine, we will be there.

note: I will also answer your emails later tonight.

[Cullen Katarn]

Ok I have two questions if anyone can answer them.
1) Is Registaration at Springfield or is there an online waiver we can print off?...it said 7am to 9am I just want to be on the safe side.

2) Will the Weather (its supposed to rain) effect our fun? I just don't want to drive 2 hours and get turned down because of some rain. If you could answer any of those questions that would be great. Thanks.

[strikers_blade]

Cullen,

1) print the waiver and bring it to the field.
2) the game will go on, rain or not. Now it is up to you to know if you will have fun with the rain (if any) or not. I personally do not have any problem with it and I know for sure I will have a lot of fun ;)

[notabob]

last question, i promise....
if i already turned in a notorized waiver then i dont need another one, correct? i just want to make sure

[strikers_blade]

notabob, you are correct. If you turned your waiver already, you will not use any new waiver for 2005 for the Striker events in Springfield.

[Cullen Katarn]

Thanks strikers_blade I will be there rain or shine :D I missed out on the 26th of march and I cannot wait til Saturday. I have a question where is the waiver? Thanks.

[D-Boy]

YA I need to find the waiver
Please put a link on the post because I cannot locate the link anywhere. O will there be a vendor of some sort?
When is the earliest arrival time?


Thank,
Jack

[Dutton]

It was originally posted on the Striker website. If I still have a copy, I'll try to host it later for you.
Keep in mind, you must have Acrobat Reader to view.

Strikers Waiver (http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/42115ed9_117e6/bc/S4ndm4n/Striker+Waiver.pdf?BCUZVaCB2AT62.d4)

[D-Boy]

Dead link

[Lt. Corbin]

Hey Blade is their any way you could bring me a can of green gas to the event and i could pay you their, if not let me know.

[Cullen Katarn]

Hey D-boy go to www.airsoftevents.com then click on the 4/23/05 event. click on in thr right corner SPRINGFIELD. It is not a box. the waiver link is there after you click on the waiver link it should say waiver here. This is the waiver that I am using unless there is another one.

[strikers_blade]

Folks, I will have all kind of goodies tomorrow. If you want to make sure I will have what you need, email me at sales@combatdepot.com

As far as the waiver goes, there is only one available and it is attached to the field description (Springfield);

http://www.teamstrikers.com/web/docs/Waiver-2005.pdf

see you tomorrow guys, rain or shine.

[x-statix]

What kind of landmark am I going to be looking for? Will there be a banner or something out front?

[strikers_blade]

X-statix,

There is no real landmark down there beside a long drive way between 2 corn fields. If you are coming from Enon, this is the 2nd entry on the left I think....Just make sure to have the street address with you ;)

[genocide43110]

Is it muddy back at the field where we drive? Im not sure if I should take a SUV or my Honda.

[strikers_blade]

Genocide, don't take any risk and just bring the SUV....

[D-Boy]

I dont know but every time I open it it is just a blank page.....I am not sure what to do.

[onsite]

You'll need to get acrobat reader to open it. Then I'd go to 123notary.com and look for a 24hr notary near you. Go there with a legal guardian and get it notarized.

[genocide43110]

Wow I have the old waiver and so do my friends and we dont have a printer at my house. Can we still use the old ones.

[strikers_blade]

Folks, 5:44am and raining like hell. At this point, I have no choice but to cancel the event .Although, I will still be there to receive those that did not get the notice in time or are crazy enough to still play :p

I do not expect any of you to show up so you can all stay in bed hehe.....

[genocide43110]

Is there going to be a reschedule date?

[D-Boy]

rain or shine, we will be there.

Ya I am wondering what happened?
No problem because I believe we now know who is truely dedicated:D


Jack

[strikers_blade]

D-Boy,

While I did cancel the event, I also said that who ever would still show up would have game play. This is exactly what we did :D

We played from 9h30am to 2h00pm and while we were all soak and wet, I can assume everybody had fun......yeah, we can see who are the true dedicated players :p

Genocide, the next game is May 7th, hoping this time, the weather will be better.

[x-statix]

We had just about as much fun as you possibly could in snowy, rainy, freezing cold weather. I had a blast. Thanks a lot Blade.

[Veritas]

a hot shower never felt so good. thanks again Strikers and iP, it was a blast.

[notabob]

blade!! i would have come up there if i had thought you were still going to let people play. i really wanted to play in that crappy weather. you shouldnt have said it was cancelled because it sounds like it really wasnt and you just made me think it was and so i didnt go...

[THX]

For my first event ever it couldnt have been worse weather but it was still a blast. The things that stick out in my mind the most:
1) I only ever actually "saw" 1 bad guy in 3 games, but was still killed 3x
2) a full-length green parka (tarp with a hood) is great at keeping the rain off you but not the best when trying to duck and run. I tripped myself up 2x and nearly did a chimp-flip headfirst into a mud puddle.
3) ive got ALOT to learn about this great game

[Lt. Corbin]

Im still wet;)

[x-statix]

Too bad you had to leave early THX, it stopped poring later on. The last game was by far the funnest.

[genocide43110]

May 7? That is the same day as Op: Something. That sucks because I want to go to both.:D

[Grease Man]

Notabob if you read Blades cancellation post, you will notice that he said he was going to be their for those "who are crazy enough to play" That should have been a tipp off that you could have played.

[Sgt Watts]

Despite the rain/snow/sleet/cold/mud/frozen fingers and toes, that was one of the most fun events I've been to. Thanks Blade, and all at the event. I guess the reason I liked it so much, is that the rain and mud kinda added a really exiting feeling to the area we were in. And you can stay alive longer if you split off into a three man unit, and set up hillarious ambushes easier. Also,having a tent is nice in cold wet weather. But next event like that, I'll remember to bring warmer gloves and more socks, my fingers could hardly pull the trigger because it was so cold. But other than that, it was one hell of a good time.

actually, it made me think he was going to be there to turn them away. whatever. i guess ill jsut wait until next time although when i read that on my way out the door yesterday my first thought was that i would love to play in that crappy weather and it was disappointing that it was cancelled.

[snipe]

Blade so you think you could reschedule this event?. because as of now me and im sure others are kind of at a stand still. "should i got play CQB or Woods?"

[genocide43110]

You should move the game to this coming weekend.(That is if the weather will be any better.)

[Veritas]

too bad i spent the last of my money on the event on the 23rd :D

[strikers_blade]

Snipe, we finally decided to cancel the event to the public and turned it into a private event. That way, you can all go to the CQB game.

See you all at Blind Fury 2.

[strikers_blade]

Now that I got a bit warmer, I have to say that I saw true dedicated player this weekend. Starting even earlier than supposed, playing in the mud, the snow and even rain and high wind, I was honestly not expecting this at all from any of you. I can only say that you have my highest respect for such act. Team 2guns, glad to see that you made the whole trip for such crappy weather, I now know who to call next time we need real players :D

Thank you to IP for showing up in numbers, as well as bringing a chef cook (sp) with them, you just got a task for all our event now :p

I sure hope you all had fun despite the weather and hoping you did not get sick.

See you all next event.

[Grease Man]

Despite the weather, I had a good time, it actaully wasnt too bad in the field, but the between games wait was killer (since I always get out first)

Sorry I had to head out early.

[Odin]

It was a Fun Day! Maybe a little bit to fresh, but still f____ing cool! Thanks Blade!!!!!!!!!!!

[Veritas]

^excellent cook. ;)

[Lt. Corbin]

I'd also like to thank IP and the four guys in the desert camo that took all of us on in the 2nd to last game and ended up taking out half our team. Im not sure who you guys were but you were impossible to find and and impossible to shoot.

Lt. Corbin,

Thanks for the props ...We are Team C.E.L.L. from Cleveland. Though we did have some advantage being dry and all:D I have to agree with Blade on this one it really shows what Ohio Teams are truly dedicated.. Thanks for the Props guys ..you too all deserve credit for coming out and showing ur support.Everyone there showed great spirit though the weather was poo poo (We dont wear Desert B.D.U. we wear Tan B.D.U. not to be confused with Team TAC)

[Veritas]

wish i couldve played with you guys. unfortunately i had to go right as you guys were gearing up. always a blast to play with different teams. makes the event more fun.
