I dont see much chatter here on the forums about NATS, so I thought I would start a thread..... Who's ready, and who is bringing what? My roomy is bringing the beer! WOOT
I will be bringing my Prinz Eugen, VDT, and Konig.... After looking at the signups, I may have to build a Allied ship... (OMG! Did I just type that dirty word in a sentence.. (allied)... I so need another beer)
I'm bringing the "I" in IRCWCC, as for what ship no idea yet. I think I've been to Tugboat's shop too many times and now I'm having a hard time concentrating on one ship.
Chase, I'd bring one that's ready right now But you've been in the hobby for a long time and probably know that already But if you want to come by the shop before Nats and pick out a hull to go with, I can arrange that...
Tempting... But a one month build before Nats is a bit much. I think i will bring my Renown to put the fear into those cowardly axis scum...
Next week I will be drawing the "Line in the sand", those that haven't paid will be scratched. I have numbers to crunch and "holdouts" just make it a pain. So now is the time to cut that check and send it to Tommy Tanner.
Save me some time looking; When and where are the Nationals. What has participation been like the past couple years?
Low twenties to high thirties, this year I expected more due to the folding of MWCi. Oh well it is still fun with twenty or so, I don't qualify the events by how many come. The battlers that generally do show up are so much fun that quantity isn't needed.
I see 19 paid on the list and two on it that I know will pay... I would say there will be a few more due to the MWC not being here. There are always latecomers.
If there is a captain out there not coming due to not having a ship ready, I will have the VU, the Konig, and the VDT ready... they are more than welcome to battle one. Just let me know so I can be sure to have what I need in the boxes. All they need to bring is beer to the hotel room!
And here is the issue with latecomers, CO2, we can't order more that week and get it on site. So those that pay late cause the rest that paid on time to have less CO2, not right or fair.
Oh, I understand completely. All I am saying is even if they are late in paying, I am glad they come. I'm not talking about 15 or more people either.. LOL But if a few show up, I doubt very seriously that they would cause us to be short on CO2. I would much rather have the company of a few more more captains, even if it means they cant pay till pond side.
