That would be incorrect. It is just as much a problem here as what it is state side.

Great footage, Expensive gun baggage i must assume!

Awesome footage! I'm glad that this site is finally open to foreigners not like Zussman city, and this one looks even better.

I've seen almost everyone of you had Contour cameras, are we going to see more of Irene videos?

Tnx.

One of the local guys is making another video for us. Should be up on Sunday.

This game was the highlight of mine and I'm sure the other 12 players airsoft careers!!!

The entire training facility was massive, about 1000 acres if I remember correctly. They only had a small portion of it open to players though .


I have a video in the works too but it's nothing to special as I ended up playing medic for two scenarios. so the footage is mostly just walking around in buildings.

There should be another good video coming from one of the Calgary guys like Kimbo was saying.

Gong show, IMO. Structure looked good on paper, but we didn't have a clue what we were supposed to do (objectives, missions, etc) practically the entire event. We'd get a simple "you're tasked to take XX building" and beyond that we didn't really know what was going on...so we eventually just made our own "objectives", which was basically to just push as hard and as far as we could and then it was a blast.

Every video from you guys is amazing. How did you get your blasters across the border?

So we could use our high speed gear.

At the start of the night game we all crammed into a tent and tried to listen Col. McKnight and a few other guys come up with a plan of what we were going to do. I never heard what was being discussed as we were too far but when they were all done, we left and then just pushed for the rest of the night. There were things like this that seemed to drag on and didn't serve much of a purpose. The first morning at 9am there was like a 1 hour welcome/briefing and it was cold out. That could have been shortened. My biggest complaint is the waste of time. Games lasted about 3 hours then an hour or two breaks in between. On Sunday we had a 2 hour game and then stood around for two more while they gave out prizes and speeches. When traveling big distances and spending big money to go to these things I'd prefer more time spent doing what we came to do. There was probably 10-11 hours of total game time over the two days. Too short IMO. Especially when you have this amazing facility. We should have maximized every minute we had.

interesting enough. any plans on attending any of the other OLCMSS games? or has this left a bad taste in your mouths?
