[OP] Vigilant Wind (JOTC Mission 001)

[Orwell]

Before I start: I'm not contesting the 25' engagement distance in general. I have a question, for clarification: Will there be buildings, and if so, will engagement distances for indoors work be different than outdoors work? I don't know the field, and I really don't want to have to put my GBB back together just so I can enter a building with a weapon. Thanks!

There are no buildings. This OP is happening in an Eastern Europe Wilderness Forest.

I know you're not contesting it but just to clarify once more:

The engagement distances apply in all cases. They do not change. 25' is close enough with 400+FPS AEGs on the field. With a sidearm you can get within 10'. Any closer than that and your just being a tool.

[Orwell]

Thank you for clarifying, Skyhawk. :] See you on the field!

[Raging Hormann]

I'll put your GBB back together so you can use it. And I'll do it for fun

You're saving me a lot of time/money, sir! PM Sent!

[Raging Hormann]

RIGHT, so I am for sure attending, have my full DPM uniform, everything is almost ready!

Out of curiosity, is anyone interested in carpooling? I can carry 7 other people with me or ride with someone else, but I certainly can not justify riding alone to the field in my Suburban...

Anyone?

[Orwell]

Red,

Kipitry and I are riding up. You pitch in for gas and we can take my Civic. Better economy.

[Ivan Daylovich™]

Yeah, If you're going through SE Portland lemme know.

[Orwell]

Yeah, If you're going through SE Portland lemme know.

Kipitry and I are in Milwaukie. Where, about, are you?

[Ivan Daylovich™]

Near 213 on 26

[Raging Hormann]

I am in Tualatin and my personal favorite way to get to the field would be up I5 to 26.

That puts me through Milwaukie/SE area. I'd be happy to give rides if y'all'd be so kind as to sling a fiver towards my general whereabouts.

[Orwell]

Wilco. We can hash out details this Friday.

[Raging Hormann]

Well it looks like I might have to back out of this event due to work schedule... I will get back to y'all soon on it, sorry if it ends up ruining anyone's travel plans.

[TheAnthrax]

Hey y'all, I would be interested in a ride. I can meet just about anywhere in Portland to make pickup easier. I'll even pay for my share of the gas!

I went up to the field today. It got hammered in that last snow storm. There is about 20" of snow on the ground up there. I couldn't make it all the way to the spot due to my car bottoming out on the ruts in the snow. I hiked in the remaining .5 Miles to the field.

I hiked around the field in knee deep snow and was wishing I had snow shoes. The parking along the road is now mostly blocked by snow banks. This was a stark contrast to my trip up there last month when there was dry ground, no snow, and not even a mud puddle in sight.

If we don't get some serious melting this week, I don't know if it will be possible to play there on Saturday. I will be making a trip up later in the week to assess the conditions.
