General Airsoft Game Discussion / Re: Has there been any large scale milsim or combatsim in AZ?

BTW - Before you go criticizing a person's capabilities other than your own, consider what you say. The largest event Mike has put together was Red Dawn, with 105 participants, most of them paying customers, at the old Southwest Paintball Headquarters. He worked with Gearbox (Jungle Toy at the time), Arizona Paintball Depot, and countless of others who volunteered time and resources to make a large scale game like this happen in Arizona. Now I'm not saying Mike should be responsible for making a large scale games in Arizona, but before you go criticizing other peoples suggestions without being constructive, and making a better solution, just say nothing at all. Let those who want to talk about making a large game happen brain storm and come up with viable ideas. Don't bring them down with your negativity. It's ugly. But don't worry. That's why I'm here to patch things up and show you what real ugly can look like. Below is a list of the games and events Mike has put on over the last three years at the MTT UAC and few other locations. Most of the participants are paid participants, which is a lot harder to achieve compared to the free events that AA puts on.

Now that's what I call a consistent track record, considering he puts on most of these events at a location that's an hour or more drive for most people for a game they never played, or on a field they've never seen, and have to shell out $10 to $40 to participate in. Now here's where you respond with a list of games or events you've put together with substantial proof to back it up. You know dates, locations, player count, etc.... I eagerly await your response.
But who needs a committee? To put something grand on, you need a dictator. I nominate Vince. Clearly a man of vision and leadership. Hail to the Chimp!
