Default AAF Danville Battle Day 22 May

OK folks, another battle day is coming up on the 22 of the month. If you have not attended one of these events and you live on the East coast of the USA, you need to get your posterior in gear and show up! Tank or no tank, come and enjoy the fun with us. Tanks have been loaned before and will be again.

I also hear that there will be at least one visitor from Detroit that has been running his mouth off about going to come down here and whip some tail and needs to get his tank shot full of holes. Now far be it from me to mention his name, (EOT) but I know of plenty of guys that will be more than willing to take up the gauntlet he threw down.

Guys it will be a great time to kick some Yankee butt. Come for a day or the whole weekend. There is nothing like it anywhere else.

Can't make this one. As said above, if you haven't visited the AAF tank museum your missing something special. Great venue and great bunch of people.
Even if you don't have a tank the museum has a rental and generally their are tankers that have no problem loaning out tanks for people to check out or even
get on the battlefield for a battle. Sorry I'm going to miss ya this round Dennis, Steve, and whom I won't name (EOT).

Gee Herman,

You weren't sposed to let the secret out ! Looks like I'll have to up armor my tanks in the next 2 weeks. Wait til they get a load of my new secret doesn't take a hit battle apple. And didn't you move there from Chicago??? Since you painted a target on my back I'll be looking especially for you.

All kidding aside if you can make it you won't be disappointed, these are some of the best people you will ever meet and the battling is second to none. These venues are disappearing fast so don't wait!

Mike

I have to admit that I did come here under USMC orders from the SOUTH side of Chicago. Been here longer than I was up there. Now, cannon fodder Mike, bring it on my Yankee friend. As you said, you have the bulls eye, I have the IR bullets! Looking forward to this one. ( Now where did I put that rapid fire IR cannon mod? )

Good to hear you guys are coming Steve and Dennis, it has been a while.
We were just talking about Steve's 'experiment' with using dry ice to make fog on the field.

I gave him a call earlier this week - he is a bit under the weather with the pollen allergy. He said he'd post something on RCU but I don't know if he got caught out by the log-in issues as well.

I was beginning to think I had lost my mind. RCU said I was logged in but I couldn't do anything. I had another club member sign-in and he was fine. I finally read thru the posts to see a thread on the ongoing log-in issue. What a pain. Thanks go to Herman for pulling up the slack...You can always count on a Marine.


I have sent out many invitations on RCU and NEAD is expecting some first time tankers too. My standing "Money back Guarantee" offer still applies. I will personally refund your admission for the day if any new tanker can tell me they didn't have a blast on his first day at Danville. Haven't got a IR tank. I'll let you try one of mine in battle. I am glad to see some "Old-timers" )who are cursing me right now) coming back from the Sunshine State and the Mid-West. We are glad to see you guys again. NEAD has several door prizes to be awarded and as always bring anything you have to sell. The flea-market table is always a hot spot. There will be no fan shots allowed. We will be using TFA for turretless tanks. If your tank has never been inspected before at Danville it will need to be inspected to ensure compliance. Emitter depth main gun flash/strobe and good volume. Any questions just PM me. NEAD wants everone to have a great time so lets make the most of the Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to all our Veterans.

I was getting worried Bob, you are usually so punctual with your advertising for a NEAD weekend!
When are you planning on arriving?
Are the girls coming?

5 DAYS! 5 DAYS UNTIL THE BATTLE! OK folks, we only have 5 days until the next battle day at Danville. Finish up your maintenance and charge everything up. I am looking forward to seeing everybody that hasn't been there in awhile and meeting some new folks too. Remember Bob's money back offer for battlers.
