Dana,

add Roel Vera & Aaron Arndt to the ACE member list. But both are no shows for the March event. We are getting a final head count of who is and isn't coming.
Also, who's running/going to be there on Friday ? I don't notice a lot of people saying yes to Friday.

Bill Will CO/ACE

BIll, I would expect Jersy Bob and the guys from Texas on Friday. If Bret is coming he ussaully comes down Thursday Night.

Add Doug and anyone coming up from Atlanta I expect we will have 10-12 on Friday. Since we now run till 9pm on Fridays its worth coming even if you cannot make it down until early afternoon.

James-thanks.

I know about Bret and I should have phrased my question a little different.

What I meant to say was is anyone from HEAT going to be there on Friday being it's a HEAT run event.

Bill Will CO/ACE

Hi Bill, thanks for getting me up to date. Sorry it took so long to answer. Hey!...Aaron Arndt is back in the hobby...cool!

As far as Friday attendance goes, usually a "yes" implies all three days, but I will ask the H*E*A*T guys too be specific about which days they can come. But lately Doug has been allowing us to run after dinner on Fridays, sometimes until about 9:00 pm, so even if folks trickle in during the morning and afternoon, we still make a full day of it.

H*E*A*T Members: Please let me know specifically which days you can attend. Thanks.

We (Q & J) will be there all 3 days.

Cool! Glad to hear. It's been a while.

So.... I am getting really excited about this...

How many tanks is everyone bringing?

I plan on bringing just (2)...

TAM KV-1
TAM PZIV

Maybe the TAM M26 or TAM Panther "CUCKOO"

WHAT TIME is everyone gathering on FRIDAY...we are arriving in ROANOKE,VA around 10:30 am and then getting a rental car... Erin (my wonderful wife) wants us to visit some local tourist attractions and maybe arrive in DANVILLE about 5:30
What time will everyone arrive and battle until on FRIDAY night? and then Saturday...
Sorry to post this here if it is already listed somewhere else...
Anyone have the "SCHEDULE" for the weekend??
I am PUMPED!!!

we have our TEXAS ARMOR BattleDay this sunday...
Better get a lot of practice in then...

Looking forward to engaging you all soon!!!!!

TOMAS
TX ARMOR NUTT

I will be bringing:
Pershing
Tiger set up for driver & gunner operation
KingTiger
PzIII - for sale if anyone is interested
Cromwell

Jadgpanther
and if I can finish the VVSS suspension conversion a M36 - looks like the M36 will be there ran first test of lower hull this morning..working on gearing to get speed correct.
still waiting on rear deck from Tankzone.uk so the upper hull will not be painted.

Chris Wolf is bringing a scale V-1 rocket! So we can set it up in the corner of Zone 3 and run some rocket launcher objective scenarios.

Sorry guys. Change of plans. Q & I won't be there. Have a great time. Hope we'll be able to make it next time.

Darn... I'm sad to hear that. I was hoping you guys could make it. It's been a while. Well, be sure to put the April event on your calendar. See ya'
