I call big spoon!

[Nish]

Ok but no slacking on the reach around this time

[Tippster]

Anyone gonna be playing in one of the paratrooper units? Heard it's a wild time, thinking about it.

[Grendel]

So Warsaw seems to be the MCB side, is this the case? I plan on getting my registration done this week. Last year the nights were cold as F#$k so come prepared thankfully I camp in the back of my truck topper and had a heater but still was cold.

I'm checking with the PB Charleston Pump crowd to see who is interested this year.

[cfos00]

Seems like it. I think Wade is doing AT for NATO, but otherwise looks like mostly Warsaw.

[Grendel]

Gracious, it would be nice to be on the Warsaw side, I think every time I have been to Fulda I have been NATO.

[Rainmaker]

I played Warsaw my first year, and NATO the 2nd. There seemed to be a decent contingent of MCB folks on each side both times.

I really wish I could go this year, but it looks like it will probably not work out.

Which Warsaw group are most of the MCB folks joining this year?

[cfos00]

117th for me and my team. One of the only sections of the field that I hadn't started in, so it's time.

[SuperAtomic]

I'm signed up for 117th right now but I might be swapping to 120th.

[Elo160]

I'm armor command but 117 and 120th are great units

[Archdogg]

Me and 3 others are considering going but still not 100%. If we do it will be very last minute lol. Definitely a game we want to make though.

[Carebear_Warfare]

Reporting in for the Warsaw 120th. 3rd time attending (first time back since 2018) so I'm looking forward to it! If you see a dude rocking the old JT sock hat, chances are it's me!

[cfos00]

Hey buddy, want a NATO patch? Got one for you if you do

[superman]

hmm, not sure i have anywhere to put one of those.

[Elo160]

I'm gonna need you to switch to warsaw for this one

[martix_agent]

Is this game ran like D-Day, where it's actual units ands whatnot being directed by a commander?

[Rainmaker]

Yeah, what Grendel said. Generally, there are units with commanders and such, and there are objectives, and from what i've heard from guys that actually FOLLOW the commanders, they do a good job leading. My personal experience has been: I start out with my unit, get shot out in the first 30 minutes, go back to the re-spawn point, and then have a lot of trouble finding my unit the rest of the day, haha. At that point, I just find a group nearby and join in what they are doing. I'll hear periodically something like "They want us to push up the left here", or "We are all going to push right now and try to take this bunker... 3, 2, 1..."

I think you CAN be really involved in the strategy side of things if you want, and if you can stay with your unit. But you don't have to.

[Elo160]

Grendel and Rainmaker are right, thats how it works. however the commanders and units are typically "assigned" sectors of the field. like we'll have one unit fighting in the hills, another in the open fields and so on and so forth with like one point that their unit is after. you dont have to follow them, but they'll kinda point you to where the objectives are

[Redragoon]

Like the others mentioned, finding a group nearby to help is easy. If it was just a couple of us, we would sneak into the bushes and attempt to ambush or defend chokepoints.

Super excited for this. Just registered for Warsaw, 172nd. I’ll be in one of my old MCB jerseys, say hello!

[Tippster]

Registered, Warsaw Pact 120th!

[alive]

If anyone going has an extra tank I could buy or borrow that would be great!

[Elo160]

the vendors usually bring some new ones, i have to check the born dates on my tanks!

[superman]

I I have a 68/45 tank. born 10/13. Tested 10/18 so it has another year left before it needs to be tested again.
empire bottle and reg if your interested.

[shaquille.oatmeal]

Does anyone know if there will be anyone selling 10 round tubes? I'm picking up a pump and worried about shipping times being this close to the event. Also may need a macro kit if I run my 45/45.

[superman]

message pbsports and see if they have any available. They made a post saying the cut off to bring items is like wed. They typically have a large booth.

[superman]

Well i found out Nova Paintball will have a booth so that should be cool!!

[Grendel]

Awesome! Do I need to bring my credit card

[alive]

My phantom and sniper are both cleaned and I’m working order. I’m stoked to go got all my shit packed.

Will probably buy a tank, I only have a 13ci atm. That and possibly an Etha3M if they have one and I’m feeling semi autoish

[Redragoon]

Brother and I are registered for NATO. Will most likely be somewhere in the trees.
Look for Redragoon or Doomy nametags in camo.

Looks to be good weather and not as cold as last year.
