I'll throw in some money for food. I will also be bringing some snacks (jerky, etc.). I will definitely not be arriving until Saturday morning however. What are the sleep arrangements looking like? I have a sleeping bag, but does anyone have some extra room in their tent? Otherwise I don't mind sleeping in my car.

Do we have a count of how many of GM are doing the night ops game? Right now I'm probably gonna decide semi last minute, as I don't want to overcommit myself.
Last I spoke to Dan, he assured me there would be tons of space in tents, just bring your own sleeping bag/pillow, but bird might have a better idea.
I just drove to Michigan recently and passed right by highway 35. Took about 1.5 hours in fairly good traffic.
I'll be there around 6-7ish since I can't leave work till around 4, and I predict Edens/Ryan traffic to be bad.
How will I find you guys, aside from cell phones?

He said bring your own drinks warsmith.

#33: Re: CODENAME THUNDER 8/11 Author: birdman, Location: Hoffman/carpentersvillePosted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:25 pm ---- 20 bucks covers food only, i have a 4 person tent. but i will have a queen size air mattress in mine, i dont know how much room that will leave in my tent, im sure others will have plenty of room in their tent
#34: Re: CODENAME THUNDER 8/11 Author: Bleaumaglite, Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 6:21 pm ---- I had so much fun today and yesterday. I got to see a couple of you guys, if you didnt know I was the kid in Tiger Stripe with the Marui M16 Vietnam Version. I left the place with another rifle, I won the UTG M14 they had.
#35: Re: CODENAME THUNDER 8/11 Author: birdman, Location: Hoffman/carpentersvillePosted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 7:37 pm ---- GHOST MARINES WON THE BEST DRESSED AWARD, thought i would jus throw that out there. sunday was fun as hell, i hated saturday. US was vastly out numbered. 3 vehicles to none at 1 point with no way to take vehicles out, a s**t ton of cheating to the point where i was about to just leave othere then that it was fun being out there
#36: Re: CODENAME THUNDER 8/11 Author: kfc_sam, Location: SchaumburgPosted: Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:29 pm ---- The game was fun [Sorry for posting so late, I was in surgery after the game]. Fun meeting people there, Birdman sorry I didn't recognize you at first! Can't wait to play with you guys again, Ghost Marines rocked!
I was the kid in Flecktarn with the MOLLE vest on carrying the SR16
I had a lot of fun, even though a lot of people weren't calling their hits, but with 0:00:30 left in the game, I got to launch someone!
Life is good with that gun. [TM SR16 w/ 2Roy M203]
