I am mulling over the dates for this year's summer event at Ft. McCoy. Normally we hold this the weekend following the Iola Military show which usually happens around the 7-9th and then play at Ft. McCoy 15-16th. The problem is that like last year, if we stick to that schedule we lose Troy and Natasha. Troy likes the blank-fire event in Ohio on the same weekend and likes to charge ashore off landing craft. Pretty cool and we don't want him to miss that. So I figure the best next alternative is to hold McCoy before Iola on the 1st of August (Saturday) with arrival and camping on the 31st of July and departure and a Sunday morning game on 2 August. Troy can make that. Who do we lose if we ask for these dates? We need Troy because you can't have armored clash events without (2) pieces of armor. I hope everyone will alter their schedules and consider the 1st weekend.

Okay - hot off the presses. I was really toying with the idea of moving this event into the fall since several members I felt were key to its success professed schedule conflicts no matter which dates I chose. I vacillated about submitting my request as a result. As a small group we need all hands if I have to jump through the hoops I usually have to when holding this. But Boris's plans have changed and so with them hopefully Gryphon's so that I am going to go forward now and request the dates 14-16 August with the major play date on Saturday the 15th and a morning battle if there is interest (depends on how whipped we are from weather on Saturday).
Mark your calendars and make plans to attend. Over and out.

We are officially approved for this event so we can advertise it. We have B-13 area again this year. Still lots of undiscovered terrain there. Rekkon, please post the dates on the website and I'll advertise it on the other boards in a few days time.
They were asking if I wanted the village but I declined figuring that might ruin a good thing. Did I screw up?
