Well, thanx to everyone for their kind words. I'm tickled TanK KluB has been so well recieved and that everyone is having a good time. As for my patience, you should all know that it is artifically induced through a very large IV line in my arm, contineously running horse tranquillizers directly to my brain.
Actually, though I know it's been disruptive to some, we've had far less squeaker action than I might have expected. And, generally, most don't seem to be making a career of messing up TanK KluB every week. There is one in particular that is not really trying to be malice about it, like a couple others we've seen, he's just too impatient and unmannerly. He may or may not be welcome as we move forward into
THE SPECIAL EVENTS ARENA!!!
Nothing is a done deal yet, but as I mentioned over the last two weeks, I have had contact with a prominent CM who wants to see something like this as a fairly regular event in the SEA and is willing to help out to make it happen.
Additionally, at this last TanK KluB yesturday, another CM who shall remain nameless, but if he was standing in a line for movie tickets he'd probably be the 4440 -th in line.
Anyway, he came out to check us out and see how serious it all was, and was impressed enough to join in, then later tell us that he too would like to see TanK KluB develop into an event in the SEA.
We had so many players this last time, I couldn't count them using the roster at first. We were having teams of 17-18 on a side. Massive battles. It's reached the point that I'm going to need to start recruiting additional referees to help out, and maybe enough to take over once in awhile so I can play too.
TanK KluB has definitely started to out-grow the DA and the only place to go ist up, to the SEA. Once there, we can regulate the squeakers and disrupters, and just have a great time tanking. I'm busy working on the first major tank battle. It's all still "two weeks" away
, but it will happen fairly soon, I think. Probably soon after the current Scenario Rangoon is completed.
And I'm working on the website, which I hope we'll open up, at least for the forum, sometime this week.
Glad everyone is having a great time with TanK KluB and hope more people keep checking it out. This could be AH history-making. A grassroots effort gets a new event into the SEA and out to the community.
Keep 'em Rolling!!!
