24thid - I will ask around and see if I can find someone that can give you a hand man.

Teufelshunde - Well if you find a way to make it, you would be welcomed with open arms.

It would be awesome. but that is a 12hr trip via car lol. it sucks because there is no PTO tactical s up here in the north.

Start one then. I have run events for modern era and assisted in a couple of Vietnam and WWII. It comes down to land and time, once you get the land then e time part is easy. I plan to to get something started here in Missouri as soon as I can.
