By 5a you mean 4a right? You say 5a, 1/4 of the folks wont show till 530, travel time is about 80-90 mins. That leaves less then an hour to register, gear, socialize, and plan. I can appreciate anyone wanting to get sack time to the last minute but if people treat this like a pickup game and roll in late or without ample time to plan we will get the results of a pickup game (i.e. chaos).

Agreed with kiley here, people will always show up late. We need to leave some time to allow for some leeway.

Thanks for the list trent, 34th spets is still waiting on Panther and David to sign up. Mahabrah doesn't have the cash at the moment.

It's strange that they threw me on the Spetz roster when I signed up as nat'l guard. And Steven is with me on Spetz, but Ben isn't.

Hawks may have a couple more late entry spetz so it might put us at 30 and it may switch you 2 over to guard Striker.

The two units they have are much to large and unwieldy. Expect to have them broken down even further by staff or by the team leaders themselves. I simply don't see value in having two 15 man squads when we can do three 10 man or even 4 units at 8ish each.

I'm probably going to start the convoy out of the Walmart parking lot (up by the old block buster video) at 0400 and take us up to Tangerine over to Oracle then up 79 to the AO. The Freeway route is out of the way and longer.

Florencestani and Russian forces,
Preliminary roster is up here:

OPORDS have been sent out. If you did not get a copy then please email me at my forum username at @gmail.com with your real name and what group you belong to and we will get you squared away.

Those who have their OPORDS, please pay particular attention to the magazine and fps restrictions. Also, you will need to have a radio and both white and red rags, please be sure to pack those items.
