Welcome to both of you. A lot of our players are at LCV right now.
Stick close to the forums, you'll get a heads up when the games are. Come out to the official games....they are a blast. Definately at the next level of play. Don't worry about having all of the gear. Get some good boots, eye protection, a set of BDU'S, a hydration system or canteen. That's all you need. The rest can get pimped out later.
