Bazooka Joe needs to learn to listen for the "I'm dead, I'm dead" chant recited by battlers making the walk of shame back to home base. Besides, I don't think many battlers have sympathy for the "invincible" Bazooka Joe. So be careful when asking for rule changes :-) On Aug 5, 2016 1:42 PM,

Excellent idea! I suggest the flags be easily removable so a "dead" tank is clearly identified. In the past Bazooka Joe has wasted valuable time shooting at tanks returning to base with the operator some distance away. On Monday, August 1, 2016 at 10:14:01 PM UTC-4, jvragu47 wrote: > > Maybe

Very nice camo job Paul. Great base coat. And if you're on the OPFOR, I'll help with the final coat of paint. LOL.. Looks great. Looking forward to meeting both of you.. On Tuesday, August 2, 2016 at 11:32:22 AM UTC-4, Loic atFOA wrote: > > I will unfortunately NOT participate in the

Hi folks, it is our first time at the battle. Here are some questions: How many balls should we bring? Where we get CO2 refills? How many bottles of CO2 should we have? Where do we get power for re-charging the tank? Should we have a setup to charge it from our car? Is there a local motel

Maybe something like a commanders flag? some wire duct taped to the tank with a team color at the top? say a thin piano wire maybe. Marking the operator might not work as well when the melees occur. , On Monday, August 1, 2016 at 9:35:15 PM UTC-4, RocketMan wrote: > > I mentioned to Tracy
