I went over to Denver this weekend and had a great time battling with the guys at FRAG. Everyone was very friendly, very helpful, and very kind to “the new guy”. I got to see several cool tanks and Panzerpaul even let me drive a Pershing of his in a battle. I felt honored to be included so thoroughly in their fun. I got to help set up the amazing village they have allowing me to get a close up look at the buildings. The pictures do not convey how much detail is in those things or how BIG they all are. I also got to set up my Zeltbahn camp in the village. It was cool to mingle my scale stuff with theirs and see it all combined for pictures. It was also the first time I could get pictures of my tanks “in town” and not out in the wilderness. My tank was killed in every battle. I did get in several shots and even killed a tank or two. Fun, fun, fun.

I must say that the battle that I thought about the most on the long drive home was when Bob ( I think that’s his name) was sniping me from inside the barn. I took three hits and could not figure out where it was coming from. Then I moved back into cover and looked all over till I could see a Sherman gun tube protruding from the barn. Quick, aim! Shoot true and BOOM! I think I got him… but then a Pershing is coming down the street… BOOM! He got me too! BOOM! The Sherman again, Run! More Shermans coming! Oh NO, the tank is too slow to get away… ARRGH!! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Panther died in the creek bed.

Thank You guys, I had a lot of fun, I will be back.
