Ferry booked, its on now

wormbyte

Thanks for you bookings lads.

According to the database, I have 57 players coming from Ireland....that is impressive!

I did have to adjust the USMC number to virtually balance out with the Government forces due to demand.

Thanks again guys!

coys

57!?!? fair play folks!! all I have to say is Semper Fi!! wonder how many of us paddies are going marines???

Jimkil

Anyone looking for a lift? Leaving from Portmarnock and can collect on way to ferry. 2 places and room for loads of gear.

Also it would be nice to get all 57 and block book a venue soon for a face off and to share info about the event rules and gear.

delta-boy

Silly me.

Are you a Ruskie themed team? If so, I dont suppose I could join you in Wales, I mean in a section/squad with you's, as I have a feeling I'll be placed in with randoms lol...

Gatling

BioHazRd

My advice... bring both if space permits.
Last year I took a TM VSR, my G&G M4 and my CAG36C.

The last thing you want is for your only gun to pack it in and to not have a replacement that you can pick up straightaway and keep playing.

HTH

gerrowadat

Yeah, definitely bring two guns and a sidearm.

I'll be rocking the GBB co2 416, with an AEG 416 as a backup, and possibly a shotty for a while if I can find a scabbard.

wormbyte

Well according to my records that number has now up to 66 players! Good going guys...:D

As for OzCams comments on the forum. Although it would be more realistic to have the USMC formation in fireteams and squads, it is unlikely we will implement this.

Reason being:

Keeping an ORBAT intact after first contact can be a nightmare at the best of times but even more so with such small units.

Many players will not be familiar with this structure as 8 man sections/squads or more often used.

I always like to have a 4 watt game radio at the lowest unit level and such a formation will quadruple the amount of game radios needed. Which no only has a huge financial impact but will also create too much chatter on the net.

As always there is a fine balance between realism, practicality and gameplay.

Fooking roll on May!

jinko

looking forward to this one

Gatling

my curse struck again i book my place and the TA mail server crashed :o:o

super effort from Ian though phone and email alot of people can learn about true customer service ,:D

roll on may:D

Skatedude

K, marine ticket booked,
However, with over 60 peops going, whats the possiblilty of renting a coach? not sure if its even practical but worth looking into?

Ps, pm'd you Jimkill for a possible lift

Skatedude

K, marines uniform is multicam, does that mean desert multicam or can you use us woodland/digital dpm(pretty much identical)

evilrobotshane

You're thinking of MARPAT (which would of course make sense). Multicam isn't a digital camo, it's its own thing and there's only one flavour of it. Hope you've still got some credit card left.

Actually, I saw digital multicam in a surplus place in california once. Even I wouldn't.

Ditto. Ditto. Not nice at all - blocking Multicam just makes it look awful (and removes the fades, and 1/2 of it's effectiveness). I guess somebody thought they could sell it.

If God had a duvet cover, it would be MultiCam.

Only so Jay & Silent Bob could get two hours worth of film script out of mocking it. God wouldn't really need it since .. well ... he/she/it is God.

Masada

Would that not be just Jay then?...

delta-boy

Why cant I get into the sub-forums in the TA-Events forums?

My password isnt accepted. d:

No. Jay would mock it for one hour 55 minutes, then Silent Bob would look like he's about to say something profound and everyone watching holds their breath. Then he'll just shrug his shoulders and go "mmmmh" and Jay will editorialise as only Jay can for the last three minutes.

Best bet is to drop Ian a pm over at the ta forum

delta-boy

Is it meant to be our player references, or passwords?

evilrobotshane

Well, you're already signed up to the main forum. For your faction sub-forum, you'll have received an email entitled "Event Deposit Payment received" that has another password for that. (or at least that's how it went with me, and it was the second such entitled email that contained this)

If you aren't getting the emails (like if someone else bought the ticket or something, maybe) then hunt down whoever is! Or if you haven't paid yet, do that.

Gatling

there was a slight hiccup with the mail server yesterday ,so your confirmation emails maybe delayed

wormbyte

We experienced some technical difficulties with our mail server yesterday which caused two bookings to go tits up.

This same issue might of also effect anyone who made deposit payments yesterday, as our system sends out payment acknowledgements. These payment emails would have included the password to your private forum area.

I have just re-created one of the bookings and informed the owner via pm on my forum.

The other booking I have just re-created is for Shane Sweeney.

Contact me guys if you have any further problems.

PS. If there is anyone that paid yesterday via paypal and did not get an email then let me know at paypal@ta-events.co.uk and I will check to see if your payment was processed and send you the private forum password.
