DO I need to remind everyone that we will also be rolling TANKS and other Military vehicles this year? Saturday at 1100 and 1300 there will be a demonstration.
Also, the 420 wing will be doing a “Battle of Britain” ceremony on Sunday…. Marching Bands, Vetrans, etc…
Lots of great “Extras” to see during your breaks from Battle.

Do the tank rides cost more than just the 5$ admission to the museum?
I’m bringing both my Global games, one will be Oztea’s 41, the other 2nd edition. Check with me when you get there and I’m sure we can find a game to step into.
Who’s going to show up in garb?

S.A.The tank rides do cost extra. Jeremy at FMG can answer the question better however as he his the one that brokered that deal with the Ontario Regiment.

Just booked a hotel and registered for the conference, meeting up with two Toronto pals there. Pretty stoked to do the full convention–last year I just poked my head in, as I was enroute from Toronto to Montreal that day.
If anyone from Montreal wants to ride-share, drop me a line via e-mail at raymond@fifteen.ca. I have an eight-seater van that’s currently just seating me and a Larry Harris autographed copy of AA50. I’ll be leaving Montreal early-ish on Friday the 13th, coming back late-ish on Sunday the 15th.
Yrs.,

R.Thats great to hear big R… looking forward to seeing you. I know that Axisplaya is from Montreal and might need a ride, but he won’t know if he can come 100% until this weekend. If he is coming I will let him know about your offer for transportation.

The TANK RIDES are not cheap!! They are POSSIBLE (they were not last year). It requires a “donation” to the Museum. I negotiated $50 a person but we can get this down if we have more people interested… I will negotiate on the spot :-D
I paid $300 last year for the demonstration at FMGC 2012… so it is actually a much better deal.
Watching the Tanks is just as fun for FREE.

Getting your picture, or a video of yourself from the commander position of a rolling tank, is a rather “priceless” moment.
Splurge on the $50 and Get-it-done.

Pictures, like this one (well, ok, you can probably get a better picture with the tank unobscured but it was the first one found in our files here);

Whats that plumber doing on the road?

@Young:

Perhaps he’s the peacetime equivalent of a Combat Cameraman lining up to get a good low-angle tank photo.
-
I thought he was hard of hearing, lost and had inopportunely dropped a contact.

Here is another great one of me commanding…. This is an M60 Patton. This was not running but was there last year.
