[Hellcat's Doc]

The Hellcats will take the 3-4 slot.

We regretfully inform you all that the Allah’s Express has been cancelled. We have had several issues get in our way. Actor issues, timeline issues and most importantly some prop issues. We have accumulated/bought 3 garages full of props, but the most important props are being shipped to us, without an estimated time of arrival. So I apologize for this from the bottom of my heart.

My fault. This will not happen again in the future as this fiasco has re-taught us a valuable lesson…go on our own schedule do not try to rush it, quality takes time.

[Junto]

Aw... Well, when it happens, DRAT will be more than ready.

[CommieHunter]

Awwww, that's like the 3rd CQC event to get cancelled.

[Seagreen]

Bummer.

We'll show when the show goes on Steve.

I know the logistics, and sometimes conflicts happen.

[Haloeclipse]

That sucks I was really lookin forward to this

[Eclipse]

that sucks, WAR will be at PTOC to play on Sat. I suggest every also does the same. *Cough* DRAT *Cough*...

[Haloeclipse]

Agreed, we already have it penciled in, we might as well show up anyway.

For us with Allah's Express it simply comes down to not having done our part to get the props needed in time. My fault, we have vendors we use on a regular basis and I assumed we could count on them to get what we needed as we always have in the past. It is in no way our vendors fault as they get their supply from a distributer who gets his from overseas. One link in the chain kinks and we fall on our faces. This is why I will never schedule a game again unless I have all of the parts in my hand. In the future we will also be photographing our props to prove we are ready for whatever game we are promoting. We had no trouble with the venue this time just the supply line.

We tried to rush putting together this game in an effort not to schedule it on top of the other games scheduled and because PTOC is moving sometime in the undetermined near future. I just need to listen to those nagging doubts when they arise and not let the excitement of a possible game get in the way of our sound business protocols.When we found out at 7am the day of the Sudden Strike that half of Rilea had been flattened and we couldn't use it we adapted. We could have adapted the Express game but it would have seriously taken away the cool points of the game. We did secure 3 garages full of props(furniture, audio equipment, smoke machines, lights, video equipment, building materials, 100 rds of blanks for our AK and several trip wires). But the coolest stuff wasn't available to us in our time frame. I will not put on a substandard game especially when it is our first foray into the team competition realm.

We are a new and growing company. As such we will from time to time encounter "growing pains". This happens all of the time but this time we were unsuccessful from keeping these growing pains from affecting you. My apologies, my fault.


I sincerly appreciate you all(i.e. Seagreen, War, Drat) understanding the issues and your support means more to us than you can imagine. When this game does come back it will be solid and well thought out. It would work way better at Rilea anyway....

Now that it is undetermined when it will happen I will let you in on some of the game details. Have you ever seen the movie The Kingdom? If you have then you know the last half of it was as excitement packed as most action movies could be. We actually recreated the bombers house(complete with baby Hadji's packing AK's), a terrorist cell bomb making facilty(fully booby trapped) and active executions complete with hostages, live video feeds of it and even dudes dressed up screaming their reasons in Arabic and or Farsi. We had planned several "surprises" as well.

So in closing I apologize for cancelling this event for now, you deserve the best we can deliver and we will settle for nothing less.
