We are camping out. Johnny said he wants to try Medic.

Hey guys, for the Sep battle coming up does anyone have extra blanks that i can buy Pls msg me if you are able too. Thank you

The best bet is to order over the phone with a credit card from Swansons (due to short time window). My next purchase will be from Atlantic Wall in a month or so.

Also don't forget to get "clips"

We have arranged for him to borrow Mexican Bob's 03' Springfield. He will not need spring clips for that.

My latest shipment of Swanson blanks just showed up. I have a large surplus of 30.06 blanks (not the BAR blanks). LMK if you need any and I can bring some. I think I paid $50 per 100 but will figure that out when I pop the box open and check the reciepts.

I'm flying out a in couple hours to Minneapolis and won't be back till late Sunday so I may be out of communication till then. PM me and I will get back to you after I return.

Ok im good on Blanks now, im fully ready for the battle thanks to Kanowarrior:)

What I plan to do is get up on Sunday Morning, break camp, and load stuff into vehicles. If enough Germans still want to fight, then we can fight from 0900 until 100 or 1200 Hrs. Having already packed up the vehicles, then all we have to do is mount up and scram. If not enough of our guys want to fight Sunday, then we can mount up and scram after we load up.

Hey guys so most of us are leaving to the battle site friday right?

I would guess that you'll start seeing people showing up 2:00 and on. The idea is to get and set-up camp way before dark. Most of us will be there by 5:00.

No fires, it's a high fire danger area>
