The First GReat Train Raid 2008
Well that time has come again, the next installment of the great Train Raid....it looks like its gonna be bigger and better than last year, we all had a great time with our friends in blue and hope there are more of them to kill, we have some renforcements coming up from mass this year and some friends from the 20th as well but once again its the call "we need boys in blue" the union repulsed us twice last time.... and now we are on refridgerators all over south korea......(inside joke)
let me know if anyone else is interested blue or grey so I can tally numbers and craft scenarios.....Civilians play a roll as well!
great op for the first person with spectator passengers and each other.

I will hopefully see you there, and in the meantime, have a good next few weeks.

ONE WEEK TO GO UNTIL THE
ONE WEEK TO GO UNTIL THE FIRST RAID OF THE YEAR!!!!!
Any body who is coming I need to know as soon as possible. I am working on some new scenarios in case we get expanded numbers.....
I have at least four to five union in the possible section more would be good as I have possibly 10 to 12 rebels...
but of course that could change and be more like 4 to seven...
Whatever happens it is fun and is a chance for closer interaction with the public in First person so it feels like they are there insted of watching a football game....

June 21, 2008 - Train Raid
Hi Annie,
The date is in International format in the first message and is also visible on the calendar. I probably could re-format that for the USA since I don't get too many people from outside the USA. Or maybe I need to highlight the date in another way. Sorry about that.
So how have you been? Are you back in Maine now?
