Glad to hear it Maple.

the Field Access Card prior to coming out.

Why the Card:

Link to the card:

[Texx]

I don't really have any preference. If I can make it, I can bring an alterative camo or whatever.

[Kenuchfleck]

Viper,

Regrettably the date change to Memorial weekend bodes ill for the Regiment. I along with most the crew can't make it. So, it might be best to take us off the roster:(

Hopefully next time,
Kenuch

[Feint]

Can you give me a link to directions to this place, Ive never been there. Thank you.

[Viper]

Sure thing. Here are the directions. Directions (http://dragon-lair.net/new_items.htm)

Sorry to here that Pale Horse won't be able to make it. I am planning another "Nam" era game in August. Actually it will be Op : Liberty. I'll post it in the next couple months. ;)

[Roadkill]

Maybe two or three of Roadkill will make it. If anything most will probably be VC, but I am planning on being US

[Vigilante]

You mean red hawk regiment. You can at least count me and randy in for this. so 2 for the RHR. I will be on US side.

[Roadkill]

You mean red hawk regiment. You can at least count me and randy in for this. so 2 for the RHR. I will be on US side.

Good call on the Red Hawk Regiment. I do have my OD so I will for sure be a grunt on the US. In my personal opinion I think that only 1 radio be allowed per unit, but who am I to make up rules.

[Kenuchfleck]

Ya know what, even though my cousin is getting married the night and morning of this battle, I'm stilll going to try and make this and bring a few Ponies:)

[Viper]

Yeah, glad to hear it. ;)

[Beasthunter33]

Now that is dedication. :]

[Dark Knight]

Mosquito repellant will be a must after all this rain, and a life boat too... ;)

[SuperGnome]

Hi all,

Just checkin, Sunday the 28th, right?

Also, do we have an estimate on the number of players? I'd like to go, just might need to pick up another set of BDU's if you need more VC. All of my gear is OD though (vest, pouches, etc...). I still have my ACU tac vest (going to sell it) so I guess that's pretty close to tan. *8) I could go that way too.

-Gnome

[Dark Knight]

Yep Sunday the 28th is correct.... 9 days and counting down.

[SuperGnome]

Thanks DK...

I'll be there for sure, but I'm not sure which faction I'll be on. As I've said, my only camo is woodland and my gear is all OD (I do have an ACU tac vest though), but I might pick up some goodies this weekend/week. I guess I have tan pants, so maybe I can give Texx a hand if I find a shirt. I'd rather be NVA or VC just to get the numbers closer.

Any entry fee? (don't know if all your games are free or just some...)

-Gnome

[Dark Knight]

Glad you can make it, this should be fun. With all the rain if the tep get up to 75 or 80 it just may feel like nam.

[Kerrik13]

Viper and Frank,

I'm not sure where the rest of my team stands, but a few of us should be showing for this event. I will have a bit more accurate headcount pretty soon, but I am going to guestimate 4-6.

I would like to be on the NVA, because I have a new opfor outfit I would like to try out.

Also, have you considered adding Woodland camo to the US side because that is what most people have?

[Viper]

Kerrik,
Glad to hear you guys are making it. As for the uniform addition, No, we are trying (to a minor degree) to portray each side in Nam accurately. Plus it sends a clear cut image of who is who.

Frank,
Your right, if it gets up there a bit more, it might get to how Nam was. I don't know personally, but between you and my dad, I think I have a good idea. I think he summed it up best by one word, "Miserable". Which sounds like Op: Shadow last year.

[Dark Knight]

Yes I rember it well..100+ day thought I was going to pass out :(
My old body can't take the heat anymore. I'll be looking for a cool spot this summer.

[Timmay]

That Was Rough

[Texx]

I won't be making it. My job has me on and off call on the weekends.

I have to put airsofting on hold until I can get another rifle and at least some webgear. Haven't been this far out of airsoft in five yearsm I don't even have an AEG right now. :(

[Viper]

Texx,
You will be sorely missed my friend. Drop us a line when you are ready to hit the field once again, we will gladly have you.

[Texx]

Yeah, sorry Viper. We just got a new Email system up and running and I spend the occasional weekend working on reports or going through the Spam Filter. It doesn't help that we just my truck back from the shop, either. And then, tiny Tim just got his crutch fixed, Ma recently had the mumps, the hogs have a fever, my dog ran away, my fish died, my cat died choking on the fish, and my Penthouse subscription ran out... Yeah, its been tough all over...

[Mister]

I think I might be able to make this game.

[Dark Knight]

Hay SilentScope
I think you posted your msg on the wrong skirmish, or did someone shoot you at the Dragon's Lair when you had a red rag on your head?

[SilentScope]

yeaaa my bad, the game at apoc wore me out more than i thought lol, na, i didnt get hit at dragons lair. i've deleted it.

[Viper]

Okay, after recieving some pressure from not only my team, but others, I am recinding the uniform requirement.

US - OD/Woodland/Tiger

NVA - Desert / Tan

VC - Black

Thanks everyone for showing me the way to redemption. :D

[Dark Knight]

Viper for you planning 4 - 5 EDS at this time.

[Professor]

I know of at least 2 Echoians and most likely more will be there. We'll talk asap and let you know more - i.e. how many and what side.

[SilentScope]

heck yea 20 minute away i'll be there.

[Kenuchfleck]

Viper,

Sorry to officially inform yet once again but the Regiment will not be able to attend:( To many of us are going to be at the afore mentioned wedding and staying up way to late..

Hope the days safe and fun for the rest of ya'll!!

Sorry to hear that Kenuchfleck. I was looking forward to hitting the field with you guys, but I understand the reason. Have fun, and catch you next time around.

[SuperGnome]

Phwooo!

http://www.intellicast.com/IcastPage/LoadPage.aspx?seg=LocalWeather&loc=uswict8981&product=Forecast&prodgrp=Forecasts&prodnav=none

Can't wait for Sunday. Gonna have to wear my biking camelback under my blouse though. Thing's bright red and I can't wear my full OD vest setup because I'm NVA.

DK, can we get a skeeter report? *8)

-Gnome

[daemondog]

I was just wondering how many people are planning to attent the Game? I was thinking about comming out but...doesn't seem to be much interest in the game.

Also...was wondering what the field requirements/ house rules are for this field?

[Kerrik13]

Well I know Wolf Recon will be bringing probably 4-6 with us for this Weekend.

[Dark Knight]

Field Rules use link in my signature block for Dragon's Lair evething a you need to know.

.

[Doc]

I'll be there.

[Ronin]

You'll find that games at the Lair may not be as "big" as other fields (i.e. lower attendance) but you will find that the quality of player tends to be more mature and easy going and the games are always a good time.

[Doc]

Some of the best games at the lair only have 10/15 people in it :)

[Dark Knight]

If you haven't done your FEC Card (Med info) please do so.

You can check to see if your on the field access list.
http://dragon-lair.net/field_access.htm

Don't forget your waivor's - most of all Mosquito Repelent they may be active.

There will be two black drums on the tennis court .. one for plastic and cans the other for paper and debris.

If you never been at the Lair and like to take a walk around come 30 min early. If you have any question please ask.

[SuperGnome]

And another note for newcomers...

It's you actually pull into DK's home property, so don't be surprised when you see a house. The tennis court is down behind the house, but you'll need to chrono before you head down there. It's over to the left of the house by the trailer.

-Only mentioning it because I wasn't sure I was in the right place when I got there. That is, until Viper came out of the house in full camo. *8)

-Gnome

P.S. It's not like you'll be playing in his backyard either... there are 15-20 acres of varied woods/grasslands/underbrush/marshy areas/ponds all with trails snaking through it.

[Professor]

Looks like at least 3 Echoians...can we play GI?

[Viper]

Curious, I've never been in DK's house...Hmmmm, out of body experience maybe? Just kidding Gnome.

Prof, if you show up in Woodland, Digital, Tiger, or OD, then "Yes", you can be GI. But I may need to readjust the sides to keep things fair.

[Dark Knight]

Here we go again Tep for sunday 91, well it's not 100+. It will be just like Nam now.

Need to get some of the blue freezer cubes to help me keep cool.

Guess I have to cut back on the wine and Irish Mist :( and start drinking water.

Well it will be to hot maby for the Mosquito. :]

[youth in asia]

yea, i will be rolling with Wolf Recon, and i am sure Beasthunter will be too. Im also gonna try and bring along a friend. add at least two more to the NVA.

[SilentScope]

i'm officially gona be there... mark me down for which ever team needs me.... i'll bring full Woodland(cause its only thing i got) and some extra street clothes just incase u need me on the other team.

[Viper]

Due to the fact that we have to make the long trip from half a state away, Start time has been rescheduled to 10am.

The game will consist of (4) 1 Hour blocks with a game styled free for all at the end. See you all tomorrow.

[SilentScope]

ok i'll definatly be there, but i'll only be able to attend for a few hours, maybe one maybe two, on accounta my parents are in scotland, so i have to be home to help my sister take care of somethings. but i'll still be there.

[Mister]

Ah will it matter about pants, because some people I'm bringing don't have tan or desert pants.

[Kerrik13]

I will be bringing a bag of tan/brown stuff with me tomorrow. I have a few extra pairs of tan pants.

[Beasthunter33]

LOL, hope you got a shirt I could borrow Ryan, I got tons of pants, but no shirt, lol.

[SilentScope]

So who won the second round? i had to leave a little after it started, i'm wondering if my "suicide run" did any good.

[Viper]

I would like to thank everyone that came to the game, you made it a truly memorable day. Despite the heat a good portion on both teams went back out for each unforgiving phase. And despite some health scares because of the heat, everyone had a great day.

DK,
Thank you for not only the use of your land once again, but also for leading the US forces to victory each phase.

Kerrik,
Outstanding job at leading the NVA, your careful planning and your leadership out there, made my job of running the game all the better.

To every single player that attended, thank you for doing your part to make this game, in my book, the best I have ever done.

With this game going as well as it did, I wanted people's ideas on how they would feel about a Nam era game. Where you would wear the proper uniforms, to represent the different sides. I believe they are called renactments. If you think this would be good, and you would want to be a part of it, let me know.

Thanks again everyone, and have a safe Memorial day.

[Dark Knight]

Sorry I didn't get a chance to say good by to everyone, I sure hope you all enjoyed your time at the lair. It was a hot day, thanks viper for the great scenarios and the lovely temperature :D Yes you even get credit for that. That heat sure was brutal for this old dog, looking forward the next time we all hit the field together.

[Kerrik13]

Viper,

Great game yesterday! I was trying to be not quite as "tactical and technical" as I usually am because they NVA weren't trained in elaborate military tactics. I was also testing out not being in direct radio contact with my team and it worked out so-so... but I prefer having my radio on so I can talk to everyone :P It was a fun game, and anything more physical would have been killer in the heat. I hope the US forces liked our "creeping NVA attack" through the brush north of the tower in the last game :)

If anyone wants to put those towels I gave out to the test and send me back some feedback, it would be much appreciated. I can get TONS more of them too!

PS- Viper, I would be interested in a NAM area reenactment. I can get more Pith helmets at the baraboo surplus store for $10 a piece, so making more NVA will be easy :)

[SuperGnome]

Great game Viper!

Thank you yet again DK for the use of your land, though I didn't get the pleasure of throwing some plastic at you. ;) I heard you shooting once (the infamous 250 round "burst" gives you away) but I was already dead.

Thanks Kerrik for leading us to... to a well organized defeat despite all of our sneaky plans. In all honesty, I think it went pretty well considering our mixed team. Despit not seeing too much action, being a part of a cohesive team was a lot of fun. Thanks for the towel too... so far so good! Used it to keep the sweat out of my eyes half the way home and is now a permanent addition to my gear bag.

Also, I'm always up for reinactments. I think the context adds a lot to the atmosphere of the engagements and can lend a hand to how they're handled for both sides. I'm slowly assembling various opfor outfits, so you can count on me and my AK. The NVA will rise again!

And the heat... yes, it was really hot. After the third phase on my walk back I realized it was a good thing I was done. Not woozy at all, just drained far beyond what I'd have expected. Thanks DK for the cider/tea/cold stuff... Honestly I don't remember what it was, but it was cold and tasty. Glad the day went by with only one heat incident, and even more glad he was fine. Way to take care of him everybody... that's what it's all about.

SuperGnome There alway a next time, that was a low bb game for me I didn't even use 1 clip. :(

Same here, I only went through about a thousand BB's, pretty pathetic.... :(

But I had a good time, and am looking forward to the next game Viper and DK.

[Mister]

Nice game yesterday, I thought it was a pretty organized game and it went smoothly. I think there would have been more running and gunning if the heat wasn't such a scorcher.

PS: If anyone found a TM Standard AK mag please PM. My friend lost it.
