How many games & how far?

I have seen post where people say they can't make events due to the travel time or distance. Pain Cell plays 8 to 10 events each year & drives up to 10 hours to games. What dose your team or you do? How many events & how far?

We will end up playing 6 this year. This is our first as a team. Next year I'm shooting for 8-10. As for the drive I'll go anywhere depending on my schedule for a 24 hr game. The hard thing for me is my son goes to Montgomery Bell Academy here in Nashville and they really don't appreciate any days missed so after football is over I'm still limited to 4 or 5 hours away because Sunday homework is usually 5 or 6 hours.

About 9 to 10 games a year, and as far as drive time from 4 to 12 hr. You can never tell where you will find a group of Blackhearts. We are all ready trying to make plans for next year.
We will be visiting Hickory ,N.C. next year, the new field in S.C., And the big trip for some of us will be UP North.

We may be able to sqeeze in 7 - 8 this year. Travel time is not a big deal pending the event (example, we're making arrangements for the D-Day scenario in Oklahoma).

For SCRK you would have to check with Grendel and PBJunkie. They typically make most of the games. We have been known to travel as far as Florida and Tennessee. I would say, on average, we attend around 6-10 games a year with the largest number of members attending 2-4 games a year. Of course PBJunkie makes more games than the rest of us, but he has a ton of kitchen passes.

From the time I started playing big games in Michigan in the early 90's the early Wayne's World games and Blanding game were at the top of my list I've played both in the last three years now that I live in SC. But, I would travel back the Michigan Monster Game again .. and EMR and Jackfrost in Penn. are still on my list as well as SC Village in Cali. any of these games on the BLACKHEARTs list for next year?

U.S. TAC OPS will do 6 - 8 games this year, though trying to get everyone to go is like pulling teeth. Though I am glad to get some of our guys to go, and more are starting to come once they realized how much fun scenario games are. It is always good to see the other teams at events: SC Roadkill, Pain Cell, Nitro, Black Hearts, Assination, etc. and if my guys can't make it, these teams welcome what few of us can make it.
The furtherest we've gone has been 6 hours, but my limit might be test if I go to Charleston this fall (12 hours). Someone might need to pick me up at the airport...LOL
