Hey Guys,
I am posting this to see what feedback I get as to whether you feel this is something worth pursuing.
A while ago I had the idea that I would like to put together and fund a fun event to commemorate BG and the DOGZ on an annual basis. This was for many reasons not least of which the time he put in over the years for the Dogz and how personally grateful I was to him for introducing me to the game and you guys. There were certain goals I had and I quickly realised it would have to be an event over at least 2 sessions and maybe more. I wanted it to be fun and enjoyable for people of all skill levels and abilities and so designed it with different types of mini events. All the events would be one life but MDS activated to allow for the repair, re-arm, refuel features on RC4.
For a couple of months I have been putting together some events which are now ready to test, discard or add to:
An air race with limited ceiling, hidden objects, balloon shooting and graduated point scoring,
A jeep obstacle race again with hidden objects, one life only.
One hour, one life only, Multi engine dogfight with MDS.
One hour, one life only, fighter Vs fighter dogfight with MDS.
One hour, one life only, train and vehicle ground attack with MDS.
One hour, one life only, fighter Vs multi engine aircraft with MDS.
The concept is that I will sponsor a shield or trophy and we would run this as an annual event on his birthday, day of passing or any day that was felt appropriate. I will engrave it with the winners name and callsign and get it delivered. All they would have to do then is get a pic of them with it and this could then go into a gallery.
I am looking firstly as to whether there would be any interest in doing this and if there is then:
Name of the event, The B.G. Memorial Trophy? The Danger Dogz / B.G. Memorial Trophy?
Other ideas for events.
Anyone else interested in helping in organisation etc...
Test pilots that would like to meet up as a group and test these events for problems.
In general any suggestions or comments.
It would be nice to see some of the older faces return if only for an annual thing like this and also give less skilled guys an opportunity to be competitive.
Anyway let me know what you all think guys.
