Quote From Dave's web site:
"Dont miss out on this years Winter Scenario Game:
Battle of the Bulge

Saturday, February 13, 2010

$29 admission & all day air, $25 pre-pay
$55 winter paint, Field Paint only "

I have swimming states that day

That could be tons of fun!

Yeah Dave said he would be having a scenario in Jan. on the 3rd, and possibly another sometime in February. I don't think I'll hit this one, due to the fact that 10 inches of snow coming tomorrow( powder day?). But I'd be down for the February one if anyone is interested.... FYI Mike PM inbound

me and alex and kyle are going.
Lets all set up together.

I'm going as long as there is no snow storm and/or 20 degrees or colder.

Should be fun....... we have a long ways to go for spring....

Hmmm... didn't know they ran winter games at OSG. Sounds cold.

I would love to go......
If someone wants to give me a ride in the trunk or on the roof preferably

so how many pepole are going ? Are you guys all gonna get together in the staging area and be set up together ? I wonder if theyll let us all stay together as a group ?

I'd love to go but the temps have been keeping me inside. Although the forecast has the day's high at 30degrees for OSG for Saturday. Not bad at all.

I'm going to give it another day or two to build up my courage then decide. Its still a long ways until the regular season. I'd hate to be left without PB for an entire winter.

Yeah, they will team us all together if we'd like. We can grab a couple tables together.

OK this is looking to good to pass up, maybe! Just wondering about any special performance tips? I'm thinking stock marker, stock bigger bore barrel or pipe kit, (any issues with air-should we attach hand warmers to tank, hoppers etc)

Masks ?????

Pods, how much paint will you likely carry with you?

how big an area are we talking to respawn? Chrono to Zombie fort (J4-A4) field51 map or chrono to back fort (J4-B1) or bigger than that.

any advise would be great thank you see ya in the snow

Ive never been to osg, so I dont know the dimensions. As for pods well, the more the better just in case all hell breaks loose, at canobie id usually go out with a full pack, 6 140's and a extra tank in case. As for markers, well im weird, Ill be taking my cocker, a pump, and at least one electro. This way when I determine the style of play I can adapt my marker and play to it. Im not really sure on the bore of there "winter paint" so I usually just take a couple barrel kits, But usually just the stock barrels are good enough for winter play. Hand warmers are a definite goodie to bring, and some warm boots for sure. Im all about comfort than speed... . As for the respawns they shouldnt be too bad, generally there should be at least 2 for each team. Hope this kinda helped.

When we last visited OSG the respawns weren't too far. 20-40 yards tops, sometimes closer. Similar to our Lost game, here and there on the field, plus the main area, and your home base. OSG is a little smaller than F51, but more hills, cliffs, 2 villages, wicked large castle.

I agree about the barrels. I'll try to get some tight fits until I start breaking paint then I'll go as large as possible or use the stock barrel. I'll lug 3 or 4 pods so I can stay in longer. They have 3k & 4k fill station so 5,6,7 pods is not uncommon of for some folks.

Sam had a good idea last Dec. Put hand warmers in the back side of your gloves. nice to have a couple in your pockets too. Dress for comfort. The wool will pad your hits and keep you warm. Eventually you'll get hot so do layers so you can cool off and then bundle up again.

Kyle and I are definitely going. Who's in?

thanks guys...I had a blast..it was good meeting all of you and ill definitely be down to 51...

It was a pretty good day for me. I watched sketchy clean out the bridge in Halo village. Shortly after that our team took the entire halo village from three sides. My favorite mission was defending the western village. They kept coming and I just kept knocking them down. Me and Norm and Sniper71 almost had something going on the last mission..until I moved too far forward and got pelted and Norm was blinded by the fog in his goggles. Oh well, next field, next mission, next time!!

Met the Misfits and other cool folks from NH. Looks like they're 100ft Pirate ship is 75% complete. Can't wait to try a few suicide missions into that dandy!.
Thanks for joining us Sniper71! It was good playing with The Maine Team.

We got lost on the way there, AND on the way home. Swahmy says theres a Garhman or Tom-Tom in my future.
