MEMBER'S-ONLY GAME
"Die Glocke"
Ludwigsdorf, Lower Silesia, 1945
Sturmbannfuhrer Rudolf Schuster was impressed with the work of his hand picked Special Evacuation Kommando. "Die Glocke" had been removed from it's specially designed laboratory, and the 62 Scientists that had worked on it had been liquidated with relative ease. Now all he had to do was to to somehow move it to the west, where hopefully the work on it could be completed before the Allies over ran its new home at a research facility in the Ruhr. He reasoned that he had better figure it out sooner rather than later, as his commanding officer, Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler, was not a man you wanted to displease...
SHAEF, France, 1945
Capt R Gregson, a Physicist by education, but now uniformed as a member of the US Army's CIC was not a man who was easily shaken, but as he strode from the entrance of the Trianon Palace Hotel in Versailles, he was worried. He knew of torsion field theory, but he thought it nothing more than a fantasy. A fantasy, that is, until he was given command of a small unit of specialists, and a mission to the Ruhr. One that, should he fail, might just change the course of the war...
London, NID Office '30', The Admiralty, 1945
Major Stevens had a reputation to uphold, and uphold it he would. With the best troops available, he would complete his mission. He was a soldier first and foremost. He didn't have any interest in science - he left that to his "technical specialists", but when Commander Flemming gave him a job, he carried it out to the letter, but first he had to work something out. How the hell was he going to get to the target area? Then he had to work out how he was going to deal with the damn Yank team that would obviously be after the same prize....

This is the official booking thread. As with previous games, once you have booked and payment has cleared your name will appear on this list.
Before you book some words about the event, please read this carefully before you book.
1. Due to the close engagement ranges in the tunnels, UCAP operates a strict maximum limit of 330fps with a 0.2g bb. Weapons will be checked with a chrono, so please do not bring over-powered guns.

Good job!
Some points:
1) We settled on £35 game fee (we need to cover paypal fees remember, let alone props and other expenses)
2) Pyro restrictions need to be stated right from the start - basically you can only use 9mm BFGs and pyro bought from UCAP shop. No exceptions so no need to ask!
3) We don't need to restrict to 10 Brits & 10 Yanks - as they come is fine, I would have thought
4) We might mention that strict FPS limits apply so punters must be sure they have suitable equipment before booking
5) The scenario is intended to be a high tension game and those expecting a blatfest need not apply
Also, I think it would be fair to pre-announce bookings launch time - say something like "Bookings will open 10pm Wednesday (or other date/time agreed) and will be taken in chronological order. Paypal payment is required. You do not need a paypal account to use the paypal service, a credit/debit card is fine."
well done , looks good to me .
Usual split for command or fancy sommit different ?
Also can we do the film thing again , thought that worked really well last time?
I'm not fussed on roles/flavour but since this is a Kermit/Headshot game I suggest they take principle roles...
Excellent
I'll play Grosser Krankenshweister then. !
PS -
Phil - bit of a nobber IMHO ...
I've made the suggested amendments to the first post. What I suggest we do is post up an announcement now saying that we are opening booking at 10am on Wednesday, text for post below.
I'd like to play German again.
Maybe Jay and I can do a kit swap....
"Dear members
As many of you are aware CiA are hosting a members-only game on Sunday 26th April at the legendary UCAP Airsoft near Portsmouth.
We are limiting player numbers for this game to 20 per side. This is to allow decent play in the narrow, claustrophobic tunnels.
We are expecting this game to book up very quickly so we are giving advance notice of the opening time and date for bookings to allow a fair process.
Booking will open at 10am on Wednesday 21st January. A booking thread will be placed in the member's area of the forum with details of the game and instructions on how to book.
All the best
The CiA Team."
Cool .....you and me vs David and Jay ...if Jays ok with that !
We did that at Bryansk from memory !
We can work that out later. Can I post the announcement then?
Make it so Mr Badham ...
.said in best Mirsfield Accent .
Any objection if I book on Pete's behalf (Sgt Heide)?? He is trying to book time of work so he can be at home to book at 10am Wed!!
Nope, was going to PM him just to say that I'd reserve him a space anyway.
I could just do that....
S
Chommers, can you correct the speeling error on the Die Glocke forum, you've spelt Portsmouth wrong.
Heh, it even had a red wiggly line under it
Places for Pete and Stu Dunn reserved - German side.
I assume you've PMd him.
Aye, he offered help at the game which I thanked him for, but that we are all sorted.
(Been corresponding about denisons this evening )
Should we post the booking thread in the member's forum or in the game thread that Dave's just created?
S
I'll unlock the section Wed morning and you can copy and paste the booking thread - if you are not about then I'll do it.
No point doing it now as we will have a tirade of posting for the next 24hrs. They can wait until Wed before reading about it!!
Also thought of another 'condition' - must be over 18 (I have no idea whether we have under-18 members??)
Erm, you have to play at one of our games to become a member, our games are over 18s only!
I'm not posting the thread until 10am on Weds, I'll be around to do it.
Recently it's been over 18's but not the first games so we might have some unders - Guy has their DOB...
