Talked to Chuck (Kees) & Richard (Dood) this eve, and finally building a combat village is closing on reality. What this post is for is to put the call out for help.
Dead End is a laid back field and we want to keep the field fees at $5 so if you can chip in some cash, bring some tires, got some treated lumber, labor/skills, or saw something on craigslist, whatever just check in first we don't want it to turn into a tire dump or something lol. Plans aren't final but treated 2"x4"/4"x4", treated 4'x8' plywood sheets, corrugated metal, tires, 55 gal drums, etc are the prime ingredients (like what we have in field 1 but MORE!). We will also need sandbags and sand. Wheel barrows/carts too as right now the site will be on the other side of the creek so it won't flood.
What is combat village? Combat village is an idea we've been kicking around for ages, and with the impetus brought by Richard's (Dood) request for Dead End's help things are moving forward. It will be a roughly 200'x200' simulated village made up predominantly of "huts" with various & sundry obstacles/cover to break up the open areas. For those familiar with Dead End, imagine multiple "bunkers" about 40' apart with more stuff like barrel stacks etc. I will post a sketch later.
