Op: Crimson Ghost - October 9th 2004

[Gunslinger]

Now that I got a date Ill be there!!! Ill have a set of US BDU'S so if that works Im in on the US side of things. And Ill either get with Dutch in person or just bring the 25.00 with me, Im gonna be there and cant speak for any one else.



This is the place i work and this is what Ill be dishing out for free!!!

I have to say that I am very excited about this event. I'm really hoping I get on the German team as I have invested a bit of money in a very convincing impression of a German infantryman circa 1991. Assuming everything ships on time, I'll have real German BDUs, webbing/pouches, helmet and proper camo helmet cover, and weaponry.

...and in other Op-related news:

After the failure of my compressed air-powered grenade, I have been casting about for more ideas for innovative airsoft weapons. In a flash of inspiration, I came up with a fantastic idea. It remains secret for now, because I have not purchased the parts or begun building. But there's over three weeks between now and the OP, and I hope to have created a weapon of fearsome power by then. So I shall tease you with one word: sabot.

I am back and refreshed from vacation. Thank you for all of those who have already registered. Additional information will be coming to you this week.

DIRECTIONS:

The property is located on Sternberg Rd. between Quarterline Rd & Airline Rd. - there is no formal address since it is vacant land.

I96 Westbound - take Airline Rd. Exit - turn left - come to a 4-way stop - turn right - turn left onto Sternberg Rd. (you will see a Port-O-John facility on your left as soon as you turn onto Sternberg) - go over I96 - you will see a blueberry farm on your RH side - turn right by the "Signature Associates" real estate sign.

US31 - take Sternberg Rd. Exit - head East on Sternberg Rd. (you will see The Lakes Mall) - pass Quarterline Rd. - you will see a blueberry farm on your LH side - turn left by the "Signature Associates" real estate sign.

The Great Lakes Downs is the star on the following link which is very close to the property.

Wilycyt, whatever you are thinking of, you're way off! [evil grin]

Main construction of the weapon in question is completed. I've sourced all my intended parts, and at this point I'm merely waiting for things like the glue to dry.

I'll post more information when it becomes clear whether my design will work or not. And another hint: paper cup

[EDIT]
The glue has dried and I have tested the weapon. To put it lightly, it has exceeded my expectations. It's so powerful, in fact, a mis-aimed test firing may upset a neighbor of mine later tonight!

There are more things I have to work on, though. I've gotta make some test sabot rounds. There's a whole set of cosmetic improvements yet to do, but at this point, it's almost battle ready.

Will any sort of field map be available?

[Savage]

He edited one into the first post Zorak, just page down a bit and you'll see it. Decent photo. Looks like it's cut up into grids so we can give positions on radio too...

[Dutch]

Zorak, along with the photo on page 1 of this post, there will be three full color aerial photos provided to each team at the operation.

Rock. Thanks!

SCENARIOS:

For those who are looking for more details on OPCG, here you go.

1. The main scenario includes finding aritcles such as briefcases, CDs, an M60, missiles, and more. This also includes trying to make deals with the Soldiers of Fortune (SOF) by using Polish currency, documents, ammo, or whatever else you may want to barter.

2. The second session will include handgun/shotgun/rubber knife scenarios. These will short fun games to participate in are just observe. Scenarios will include hostile vehicle takedown, drug bust, two-man-team elimination.

3. The third session will be the night scenario which will include finding down pilots, drop boxes, and jamming devices.

If you haven't registered, we still have room. If you are planning on on-site registration - I would suggest registering now due to the overwhelming response so far. The German GSG9 forces are looking for you! German or Flecktarn BDUs required.
