Hello fellow members, I am back! I should have been clearer, I am not abandoning the hobby altogether just the winding down my kit sales, inventory etc... but still going to be here doing the field and keeping some interesting tanks to kick your asses....So with this Covid-19 going on thought it would be nice to look ahead to our season of fun! Hopefully with the measures implemented by our governments this thing will burn out by the end of April. If not some changes will be made for early season but hopefully the rest of the year will be fine.

Welcome to 2020 season! So let’s get the KW Garrison membership out of the way for this season. The cost will be $60.00 this year to battle on our field. And what do you get for that $60.00 you may ask?

2.        Entry into the Aquino weekend a $40.00 value!
3.       3 tickets in this year’s new 50/50 draw a $10.00 value! ($5.00 a ticket or 3 for $10.00)
4.     Proceeds also go to field upkeep and maintenance

As always there will be work to do on the field and many hands will make light work! Watch here for details of work days.. Also anyone who has a battle idea or some type of competition for us to do by all means post it here for discussion. We are always looking for new ideas!
Any questions at all shoot me a PM. 

I think I can get third!

I should amend that. If the border is still open, I think I can take third.  

Don't worry Chris Ill hide you in the trunk and bring you across at the secret crossing 

The exception is Americans... you are good to go!

Could you imagine the LED if I have to use indirect fire from here? Everybody would get a sunburn! 

And now you are not good to go... 

An FYI. Heritagecon has been postponed to an undetermined date currently...

I will return. I will require your surrender.

Good Day , HaritageCon at the Hamilton War Plane Museum is postponed for now . That is what I have been informed.
I hope to be good to good to go this year. I will pay you when I see you, money well spent and I appreciate what you and Team Ed do for us.

PS I am building a new main bridge for the field this year. As soon as its warm I will have it painted.

So, here is what I was thinking we do. We will hold a Battle day on the Saturday June 6th? in place of Aquino and lets add the new Aquino weekend in Sept which will make that month a busy one1 what do you guys think?

Looks like a good option.
Keep May 23 open assuming this clears up by then.

Yeah... Schedule is all akimbo with this outbreak...

Sounds good. Already requested days off work in September. Maybe just maybe I'll have the IS3 ready by then. 

Is April 4 still a go???

Unfortunately we will have to pass on this first one....

I think this year is gonna be a bust until Summer...

i was handed a piece of paper today that said i'm essential worker just in case i get pulled over. somehow i dont think i can us that on the weekends but i'm willing to try. I just would need a little help paying the $1000 fined
