DOW members, by invite, or request in advance prior to mission.

Our goal is to have the DOW session more immersive and realistic.

I will not be able to make this now. My sons coach or manager for his little league baseball team did not notify about a game that is before the mission, and I have to drive to my daughters piano recital right after it. I will not be home till at least two hours after mission start if not longer.

My family wants to have a 'farewell' dinner for me (good riddance sendoff is more like it).  I can start the mission, but probably cannot finish.  We shall see

[Lumituisku]

hmph....  alright.

[RedWardancer]

Which ones shall be used?

[Lumituisku]

If you have good eyes...  you may get idea what vehicles.

This mission was experimental.... and so far most funny one I have ever played. I have never had this much fun on steelbeast before. And with such good company. Thank you for all those who came, and truly I'm hoping to see some of videos you guys took. 

End of next month well play next part    This time perhaps we get to fire some rounds as well.


This was first training course for 1st platoon of cadets.
Of whom some performed extraordinary well. 
I'm personally most pleased with good attitude of first platoon! Good job guys! 

John "ladybug" lightow___
Jarod Gamba Obote_____
Creighton "smash" Abrams
Andre "Scaramouche" Moreau
Capt. Michael Wittmann__
John "Commando" Matrix_
Antonio "El gamba" Recio
Stanislaw "Stach" Skalski
John Watson__________

All of these fine cadets showed ability to think fast on extraordinary situations, and I have good faith on them going to perform well on training and possible future battlefields.

Special congratulations for Michael Wittmann for extraordinary resourcefulness and bravery against the man eating bear.

[Cougar11]

Glad it was fun. Sorry family life excluded me from being part of it.

I did well, good thing I'm familiar with infantry.  Had no idea there really was a bear so I didn't shoot, thought Sgt Cliff was making it up.

Yes it was made up. I described situation, and you all were supposed to react to it. Same way as you were supposed to react to incoming artillery fire, and gas attack.

Similar training is to come in the campaign. Some to do as infantry but most in the AFVs.

Though I should have mentioned that you were not supposed to have any ammunition at hand. Still... good reactions from most of you. Also I think next time I will put you all to civilian clothes so I can recognize you some way xD

For some reason you all looked identical and I had to figure a lot from the radio only.

I'm thankful that you guys actually recorded this to videos. I have found lot of things that are worth to put more attention to.

Also it became quite clear that many times, things that were perfectly clear to me, were very difficult to understand. So I have to find out good ways of explaining myself so that I will get understood better.
