Andreas Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 If so, please email me. There are seven of us going, and we could have a get-together over sandwiches alround Also, your chance to see not one, but two beta-testers in the flesh, and hear us answer your questions about CMBB with 'I could tell you, but then I would have to ask that Tiger driver to run you down.'

Panzer Leader Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I wish! Hey, Andreas, I heard they will be unveiling the new Merkava IV soon. If they have anything on it at Tank Fest, would you try and take some shots? I would greatly appreciate it! Otherwise, from the looks of their web-site, you'll have a great time. Good luck!

Holien Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I shall bring my fleece and a flask of tea and a blanket.. See ya on Sunday.... Hmmm I wonder if I have enough chains to strap you onto the Tiger until you talk. Remember there are only two of you and if the other chap stays stum you will be on your own with some fanatics who want to know more.

Louie the Toad Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Drat !! I'm going to miss this. Have theater tickets for Sunday. I saw the news about the big Chieftain 800 /900 scandal. Its amazing what some people try to get away with. When is the next one old chap! I will have to ring up Mole, Ratty and Badger.... Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Museum Bovington Email me if you are going, to co-ordinate. Remember, being an anorak is only fun if you are amongst other anoraks.Sorry, wrong side of "the pond", and all. But if anyone has a chance, don't forget us modders. Some nice detail photos of appropriate tanks would be quite nice. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Juzzy Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I'll take my camera - any particular requests for photos (tanks, anoraks or beta testers? Take your pick . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I won't be going. Just thought I'd mention that. I do have a request however. It would be nice for you to take some pictures for the modders. It would only help them to help us by maybe getting more ideas for mods and all so that would be great but I personally would greatly appreciate any pictures you guys could take of any pretty girls you happen to see. Thanks. Oh and - you lucky guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Who's interested in girls if there is a Tiger about? That's what separates the Grog from those with a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Nice to see you all again and I am happy to say the beta testers said nothing at all about the new game. They are now minus quite a few finger nails but they held out under intense torture. The Tiger was not running but there was plenty to see and do and they had some great tanks up and running. I have photos but no place to host them. E-mail me if you want them sent through so they can be hosted somewhere. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Juzzy Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 We were careful to try and take some pictures that might interest CM now (and in the future). Plus we've pictures of the Big Cat herself. I'll develop the film tomorrow so we can post them here in the next few days if I can find a scanner. If anyone wants to see Germanboy being 'camp', you'll know where to come .

Mattias Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I hope the sun burn didn't get you to badly Justin. I stalked the streets of London this morning terrifying people with my boiled lobster like complexion It was a great weekend from beginning to end tanks and a fabulous group of people to share the experience with! And thank you Andreas, your cheerful hospitality was the real foundation for making this a truly memorable experience I'll leave my film for development tomorrow, hoping for a few good shots of, perhaps, the matilda I "rushing" by or the Comet negotiating the sharp edge The whole forum takes on another dimension when you meet your fellow CM:ers and realize they are even more, eh, what that word, eh, ah never mind, you know what I mean, in real life Hope to be back sooner rather than later! Now, time for bed! M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 M, I will send the digi image of the Maltilda to you. I am red in the face too and did not realise how hot it was. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurely the words 'cheerful' and 'hospitality' in conjunction with my name must be shome mishtake. Was good to see you all, and we should repeat this next time, when hopefully they will have fixed the Maybach. Highpoint of the day - seeing a Crusader being historically correct, and breaking down in front of us. Absolute highpoint - seeing the T34/85 running over the knife-edge!

James Crowley Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 It was good to meet a bunch of fellow CM'ers and put faces to some of the forum 'sigs'. I didn't, however, expect the "cooked-face" syndrome - was it really that sunny? Or was one of those Russian tanks nuclear powered? Looking forward to kicking-off a few PBEMs in the near future.

Andreas Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 First pictures by Holien, taken on Canon S40. More in the next few days, when I am no longer so tired that I post Betaboard threads in the main forum.
