Well.. it's event day!! I'll see everyone there!!!

[Gypsy - King of the Gypsies]

Except I think we have our senerios backwards..... 25 degrees outside..... should be the Canadian invading.

Let the games begin!

T- 200 minutes and counting

[Grunto]

Today was great I thought, although the first couple games our TC guys got completely owned because we had a guy saying that those guys on the other side of those trees were freindly's, but really they were not, then they completely surrounded us and destroyed us.

But then the game where we ambushed them worked out pretty well, we got out about half of the team just from that small area, then they pushed through but the guys in "the hole" took care of them eventually.

I would like to see the pictures that some of the guys took, I know one from TC here took a few small videos but it was out of focus, but maybe they can get posted somehow.

But anyways it was great. Thanks to all to organized this one, we all had a blast.

Sounds like fun. To bad I couldn't go ! (Thanks Enkidu for ride offer, guess my mom has to be a little less protective )

[Gypsy - King of the Gypsies]

Thanks to all who came to our event. It was a blast. I have not spoken to Paul yet but I hope we will have the video available ASAP. Thanks to all the teams and those looking for a good time.

More to follow......

Kudos for the fun factor of this event - great guys - great times - no major player outburst which is always a plus.

It was a pleasure giving patronage to the northern Michigan airsoft community. Hope to see a lot you in the near future and if anybody finds my 5 shottie shells please let me know

...Too tired to elaborate, but it was extremely fun and my thanks go out to MTASC and SBD for throwing such a praiseworthy event.

[Firelotus]

Had a Blast! It was cold but when ya got movin it wasn't bad at all. I met some cool guys and won some BB's. \m/ Rockin \m/

[DevilDog]

My thanks to a;; those who made the journey to the OP!! It was the first one we ever hosted up here, and it gives us a baseline to move forward from! Next year, we will try to make it bigger and better!

As for the shottie shells... I didn't get a chance to look due to the darkness, but I shall go out and give the playing are a very thorough look! I should have Trauby go out and look for them... Since he is able to find a needle in a haystack!!

I didn't get a chance to view the video yet... But I will have it ready for publishing in the next couple of days!!

I'm still working on getting that weekend off of Drill!! I really want to be at the CQB event!!

[adanac]

Well, that was one event i will not forget. I am one of the Traverse City members and this was my first operation. Ususally, we just play with around 6 people... and to go to 40 or 60 (how ever many) was a huge step. It was a blast and my hats off to the people running it! I know on behalf of all the Traverse Citians, that we will look forward to further Ops. Thanks again

I'll be glad to help out Ryan by looking for the shotty shells!!! I have had good luck in the past finding crap, but I wouldn't say I can find a needle in a hay stack ;D

Loved the op, but I had more gun troubles than a person would ever want. Got a staple in one of my mags, then made its way into my gun causing a jam. Now a gotta tear it down since I've blown two fuses after removing it, yay!!! Also forgot my pistols during this op darnit!!!!

On a side note, I must say us locals got smoked. The local team had a lot more people, making it even more embarasing. First op, they had the objectives in less than 20 min., though we played for two hours. Heck, our whole team was practically wiped out in the first 15 minutes.

[Jacko]

I really had a lot of fun at this event! The games were a blast and the field was pretty killer. I want to thank DD and MTASC/SBD for putting on the event and having us out there for such a fun time. It was great meeting a lot of the northern guys and talking between/after games with everyone. I hope some more events get put on up there (Though maybe after the snow's gone! ;D ) as I know I'd come back in a heartbeat.

Here are a selection of pictures I took from the event, mainly during the second, Attack and Defend games we played Saturday.
