Howdy MTT,
Please count Drew W. down as one of the OPFOR / Civilian / Afghan roleplayers. I have not sent my costume pictures in to you yet, so I have yet to recieve a Tier rating.
Rest assured, I'm putting the finishing touches on my costume (and getting a cheapo AK-47 from the internet), and I will have all of them done and submitted well ahead of the game date.
I can't wait to finally put the OPFOR training program to good use.
For those of you that don't know, this event will be the first that fully utilizes the above-mentioned training in its entirety.
For OPFOR, it means we get to perform some very interesting techniques that actually provide a storyline, as well as simulate an enemy / indiginous population that actually ACTS the part of a guerilla force / local afghanistanis (rather than OPFOR that act like a Ranger Platoon).
For the honored guests / Western military forces: It means you get to experience the full deal: Guerilla ambushes, interacting with civilians, fighting within a lived-in-village. Not to mention the awesome pyrotechnics, military vehicles, and IEDs.
The training provided prior to the missions is worth the price itself, as you get to learn applicable tactics, and apply them to airsoft.
One final note: The Coordinator who just returned from Afghanistan as an EOD Technician, is the brother of the MTT Staff (Mike, Victor, and Ziggy Simpson). He's been greatly missed, and this'll be a great opportunity to throw him a welcome back event. He's earned it.
Anywho, sign up for this event guys. It's more than worth the price tag. See you there.
~ Drew W.
