RE: the fact is...
Schutz, you said that there are new HL clubs popping up, is this correct or not? Can you back up your statement by naming one?
When I said that our club has hl owners in it, I did say that HL tanks are unable to participate in club activities. Why should any club that has been built upon the successful concept or safe IR battles change what they are doing just to accommodate you.
Do you understand the implications of allowing projectile firing tanks to operate in a club environment , often in public. There are many health and safety, and liability considerations a club would have to make provisions for. My club does not allow any projectiles to be fired at our events as they are held in a public place.
Do you really expect that an IR combat club that spent years of hard work into developing what they have; should drop what they are doing and find ways to accommodate you?
I find this expectation totally unreasonable Schutz. If you really want to hold henglong bb battles then why don't you start your own club and put in all the hard work that's required, and make all the necessary provisions in case someone gets shot in the eye. And then, after you spent years developing that, would you then bow to some other tangent of the hobby that expects that you should do everything for them?
Try doing something for yourself instead of moaning about what others won't do for you.
