Hey just wondering what ever happened to operation capital thunder, why did it stop happening? Was it a good game?

That was one of the the coolest road trips I ever made (OCT:II).

I'm still waiting for #3.....

dutchydoc · January 3rd, 2007, 01:28

well, why no #3 damit???

The great LT Poncho died.

Just a guess, but part of the reason is planning any kind of game with a level of mil-sim depth to it, can drive a man to tears and then on to insanity. Its a major hassle, and it burns game admins out.

Kudos to Poncho and company for getting the ball rolling, and to other organizers like EAR and MAA and Wolfpack for running their big games as well. (apologies to those teams I've missed, just going off the top of my head).

And Poncho, I too am waiting for CT 3

You're going to have to hear that from the man himself...Poncho

Skruface, desert or woodland? It was my only OpCT game also. Couldn't get a ride for the first one but I swore I would not miss the second one.

I was at that first game, and it was fantastic even if my health did not allow me to enjoy it more.

Facing a large ennemy group along with Spleen and only another person was quite the bit of stress.

I (along with my buddy Sundown/Pedro) were on the insurgent/non-3-color-desert side. I spent a bunch of time with Illusion, Tru, Sea-Bass, Dragon, and some other fine folks from GTF- SpRout, DanOnymous and others. Plus I camped overnight at Foxden and hung out with Rick, Miles, and Sean.

My squad spent a lot of time near the Desert base harassing patrols, being forward observers, and putting signs up (like "Go home NATO baby killers").

*LOL. When I typed "operation capital thunder 2" in google, my pbase was the first hit! If you do a google image search, you only get my pictures.

My pics are still there: http://www.pbase.com/aiofm/opct2
I'm in tiger stripe with the P90, Sundown is in the weird Czech Desert pattern with a FAMAS.

There's another full gallery around somewhere.

Where was it held? I don't recognize the field

Greylocks · January 3rd, 2007, 18:32

The first time was in the Marlborough Forest, a bit past North Gower. Poncho had managed to get all the paperwork for it to happen.
