well, i don't think we'll have to worry about snow...however, it's dumped at LEAST a ka-zillion gallons of water all over the Jackson/Beech Bluff area today. now the ground on the field is very hardpacked due to the drought this summer...but not THAT hardpacked. i just got home and tried to walk up there and it's impossible. due to the constant, hammering rain ALL DAY LONG (and still going on, i might add) the field and everything around here is a slurpy quagmire of quivering mud.
though surely realistic as far as combat simulation goes, i don't think any of us would enjoy sloshing thru that mess. i buried up near to my knees trying to get up there... so,
unfortunately i sadly have no recourse but to call off the game. i just can't see us having any fun in that mess. and on top of that, it does NOT seem to be letting up one iota!
i hope this does not unduly upset anyone of the fine players that had intended to come...and i hope we can reschedule this ASAP after the first of the year. in fact...out of my appreciation for your backbone and gumption, you guys that stuck with me on this will be in for a "special" surprise the NEXT time we get to play together! (can't tell...it'll be a surpise!
but i hope you like Jim Beam or Jack Daniel caps or shot glasses! nice collector's items!)
anyway, thanks again, guys and salute! hope to play "with" and "agains't" you all real soon.
Beowolff...Jackson Field
