I heard it was very wet there. Congrats to Walen and and the Brits.

Oh, and congrats to Smiley and his Merry Band of Brothers on holding that beach against those odds and the MVT. Sorry I couldn't be there.

Hi,

Wow we had a post on here for this? :0 Oh well maybe next year. Unfortunately the Germans were not as motivated as they should have been. Our team, the Predators hooked up with Zyklon B and were making pushes on the beaches but no one would come up and reinforce what we took. When we ran out of paint or air, those gains were lost very quickly.

When the rains came, the choice between the tent with heaters or wet weather play was a very hard choice. I think the tent squeaked out The KB guys are really a bunch of fun guys who have a good attitude towards playing hard. It is a damn shame the weather played such a big role in the game. I think it would have been a much different outcome if it was just cloudy or even that mist from the morning. I know when I left, there were a lot of empty spots in parking lot that was at 3 30 PM.

Otherwise it would have been nicer with nicer weather but oh well. Next year. But hey I got to bust sloonan chops with the Palmer pug.
