Just thought you might like to know that as of yesterday Bear Claw is in the running to have 4 Yak drivers do a fly over during the Battle for Kursk! For those of you who have been to Bear Claw you will remember that these guys did a dog fight for us before...only now there are more of them! Sweet!

[STRIKER]

WANTED TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING TOGETHER TO MAKE OUR EVENT, THE BATTLE FOR KURSK AT BEAR CLAW, ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE GAMES WE'VE EVER PUT ON!

WITH THE YAK PILOTS BUZZING THE PLAYERS, THE FRIDAY NIGHT PLAYER PARTY & REENACTMENT SKIT, THE LARGEST TANK VS. TANK BATTLES EVER HELD, AND A GAME THAT IS SO FAST PACED, I KNOW EVERYBODY IS JUST GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THIS, OUR YEAR-END EVENT. IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE A NUMBER OF TOPNOTCH VENDORS JOINING US FOR THE EVENT ALSO; MORE TO COME ON THIS - WHEN I KNOW, YOU'LL KNOW. BOB AND SUSIE HAVE GOTTEN US FORTY PLUS NEW ACRES OF CAMPSITES AND THE FIELD IS IN THE BEST SHAPE EVER WITH A LOT OF NEW STUFF FOR THE PLAYERS.

THERE WILL BE 3 MAJOR TANK BATTLES, 1 LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, A NIGHT BATTLE SATURDAY (UNDER THE LIGHTS - PARACHUTE FLARES AND ALL), AND THE LAST WILL CLOSE THE EVENT WITH THE BATTLE TAKING PLACE FROM 12 TO 1 SUNDAY SO ALL THE INFANTRY PLAYERS CAN WATCH. BEAR CLAW PB HAS 35 CLEARED ACRES OF OPEN SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THESE BATTLES AS NO OTHER FIELD CAN! WE MAY BE LEAVING freshly rolled HAYBALES AS ON-FIELD OBSTACLES FOR THE TANKERS TO NEGOTIATE DURING THE BATTLES...

WE ARE GOING TO BE HOLDING A TANK OLYMPICS OF SORTS; THOSE TANKS VYING FOR THE "TOP TANK" AWARD WITH ITS SPECIAL TANKER TROPHY AND A CASH PRIZE, WILL BE COMPETING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER FOR POINTS. THESE POINTS WILL BE ACCUMULATED AS THEY COMPETE IN DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT WILL BE HELD BETWEEN THE BATTLES. WE ARE EXPECTING UPWARDS OF 30 TANKS AND ARE GOING TO LIMIT IT TO THAT NUMBER ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVE BASIS. REGISTRATION FOR TANKERS WILL CLOSE 1 WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT (NOV. 4) BECAUSE WE'LL NEED TO POST A ROTATION CHART TO KEEP THE NUMBER OF TANKS ON THE PLAYING FIELD TO A MANAGEABLE NUMBER AT ALL TIMES.

WE ARE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A "BEST TANK" AWARD WHICH WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE PLAYERS AND THE REFS. THIS AWARD WILL BE BASED ON THE ON-FIELD CAPABILITIES OF THE TANKERS AS TO HOW THEY PERFORM IN HELPING THE INFANTRY ACCOMPLISH MISSIONS AND COMPLETING ASSIGNED TASKS.

MIKE ANDERSON AND AL PRICE WILL BE GENERALING THIS EVENT. THEY BRING A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND THEY'LL NEED IT FOR THIS EXCITING SCENARIO EVENT!

WE WILL BE CHECKING BACK TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND GIVE FURTHER UPDATES AS THEY COME TO LIGHT,
SEE YOU ON THE FIELD,
STRIKER

I'm sorry sir, you must have me mistaken for some great big whopping tank that sits in the road making shade with exposed gunners.

I'm the little one that's only 4 feet wide and 5 feet tall. We'll leave the flag down for ya.

Hey come to Stalingrad. Me and my little friends are going snipe(r) hunting there as a tune up for Kursk.

[drewcif]

Just a quick update...Sunday Robert, Allen and I attended a "fly in" at the airport where the Yaks (World War II Russian Fighters) are based and were fortunate enough to see 6 of them (there are 8) fly over in formation! One of the pilots(the owner of the airport) told me he had taken 1st place in a "bombing" competition and was looking forward to dropping some(small flour sacks) on our tank battle!! Are you game?
