Hi guys

From a massive glut of US players in the summer, we've suddenly had a drop out for the Die Glocke game which is a real shame as the site is so good, you're really going to miss out.

Is it just the availablity, or is there another reason why people haven't booked?

Regarding travel, you could try car pooling. I totally understand on the money front though. T'ain't the best of times at the mo.

I've commited myself to a few gunman games this year, as i enjoyed Carentan alot...So will be attending CiA games later in the year. Plus i dont have a weapon suitable for tunnel playing.

I dont own it anymore, it didnt feel comfortable given the slightly longer stock, found myself stretching...So i sold it to finance a GBB Carbine. Its not really suitable to play with in close range, plus colder damp temperature wont be very kind to its power.

Im working on getting a suitable replacement.

I know i didn't attend the last UCAP game which I was gutted about too, the site looks awesome but it's travel for me as well and the fact that I'd be at uni the next morning and probably wouldn't get home until about 1am.

:| The game will finish around 4pm. Portsmouth to Liverpool takes about 4 hours. You'd be back for 9pm with a break on the way! Go on, you know you want to.....

I'll have a look at the date, coincidentally I was offered a lift off Oddball and Steve...more optimistic.

All depends on the muzzle velocity though.....

There's a good chance we'll be doing a pretty intense woodland day down south in September, near Southampton. We've yet to do a site-recce, but watch this space....this will be open to non-members.
