Wow 17 year of being bumped with a major incident that's pretty impressive actualy.

Greetings,
Yeah, I'm kinda impressed that the aluminum tube lasted that long.....it was part of a wing spar from an early Quicksliver ultralight.
I'm sure all of the earlier bumps and hits stressed the tube quite a bit already - that's why I wasn't concerned very much about it - that coupled with the fact that it was already old and missing parts - but the look on your face when you walked into the office was priceless!

Nothing but love for ALL you guys from this end tho!!!!!

I think I am just now recovering from the heat and that black shirt!!!

Actualy Vern1 do we have an estimate on how many played the castle game?? It looked to be over a 100 but I'm not good at estimating crowds of people.

And what happened to the video that one kid was taking inside and outside the castle during the game I want to see that.

Greetings,
We had 119 players at various times.
104 was the most that we actually counted as being on the field at any one time for a game as folks would cycle in and out to reload, rest, watch, etc.
I will try to get a copy of the video as I would like to see it also.
I spent so much time on the field working _AND_ actually playing each side to try to get a players perspective on the game that I didn't get a single picture....

I have some changes planned for the field to make it easier for Defenders to be able to get back in (add a "room" at each end and some additional bunkers within) and add a couple of more articles for the Attackers to have to get to win.

Had the Scenario last weekend with about 70 players and it was HOT....played 2 10 minute final battles on the Castle field with equal numbers first with one team inside, then the other. Needless to say, nobody made it to the wall in the first game and the "Crazy Russian" made a banzai attempt to get to the wall with grenades and made it on the second try.....but we almost had to carry him off as he was beat - his first grenade didn't even make it over the wall he was so tired but the second got 3 players!
What a hoot watching that guy run like a mad man!

that's awsome for a first castle game I'm just hoping for temps in the lower 70's for the fall castle game,(still need to pre-reg

).

Making the inside of the castle deeper with several more bunkers would make it alot more interesting. But if your going to improve the defendability of the castle maybe there should be a smaller side door say on the ditch side to alow for a sneaky sneaky type attack if the defenders aren't paying attention.

or even some 3-4 foot high lay down bunkers in the open space to the castle door that the defenders could use more effectivly but would get an attacker hosed unless they lay down flat against it.

just waiting for October 27th, it's going to be a blast I'll have my pnuemag back by then
