Dave is enjoying the stay at the O'Neil's as we have the proper condiments.

[rhodie80]

Took Dave to the rifle range today. I dug out my FN Fal, Glock 17, and Browning Hi-Power. I not sure if he liked it. I will let you judge for yourself by looking at this picture.

All great pictures Phillip!!! Thanks for sharing, so we can live all the fun again!!!

[rhodie80]

Dave's flight got delayed for a day. I took him to the Century Bar, a well known bourbon bar in Dayton. I did not have to twist his arm very hard to get him to walk in.

Thanks for this mammoth bunch of photographs Phil.

thanks rob. ive actually taken more pics in the past. it just seems like more because ive broken them up into more manageable bites by scenario due to the limitations in uploading pics. uploading them all as ive done in the past would be an absolute nightmare!!!

The ways of the spirits of the Game are capricious and not to be understood. At least you weren't using dice
I think you only drew 1 in staaken attack. And to be fair to them, the decks in the invitation were weighed

Second attempt to escape the clutches of Dayton will commence later this am with a long layover at Chicago before the afternoon flight, have my Kindle so will read the day away.

I think it is retribution for a past life. Glad I didn't know you then!

Have a safe trip home. Hope we get to see you again.

[matt56]

Perhaps you should have stuffed your ears with wax and had Jim bind you to the mast, Dave...then the siren-song that is Dayton would not have called you back...

Have a safe trip home with minimal interruptions! Hope we shall meet again

Always the best,
Matt

I think we need to appoint Phil as Regimental Photographer. He has done a fantastic job letting everyone see what a fun event it was.

Agreed, have it imported to France as their culinary tastes are not up to it

[tikkifriend]

Excellent photos Phil

Are you sure his flight was delayed or was Dave "delayed "

felt like they all were weighted to me.

well, i do have distinct disdain for tight collars and turtlenecks. just think how much fun i was back then lol.

Finally home after a 24hr delay due some cluster-f with computers and (allegedly) weather - It's good to be home.
Big thanks to the BGiF, it was wonderful to meet you all & I will cherish the memories, including the game with the chaps at Epic Loot in Dayton.
Huge thanks to Jim for looking out for me and facilitating the extra curricular activities - Top bloke - and Matt for organising so much and providing me with that epic counters box.
It was very special to meet my OTT wingmen Peter & Eric - we had some laughs during the week.
Thanks to Robert (Bobsalt) for his generosity - I managed to pay it forward in another way on the way home. (He knows what I mean)
And a special thanks to Phil (MilColl73) for taking the Bullet Magnet and running with it - that was quite something to see and raised a few cheers at the tables. Well done mate for ploughing on regardless.
And thanks to Karl for the MAD moment in the Tournament when we took each other out simultaneously enabling me to come home with a 'kill' coin - it was quite a hard fought battle.
Finally thanks to Ken (The Cowman) for founding BGiF without which none of this would've been possible.
Pics will follow once I'm more than semi-conscious and can work out what they are !

Thanks all again

[Marechallannes]

Made it save home, Dave.

I'm shure the farewell wasn't an easy one beside this uncomfortable delay.

Origins is an unbeatable experience.

[milcoll73]

glad you made it home safe and sound dave! just think of it as some extra vacation courtesy of ohios unpredictable weather lol!

well, one of my sayings is that the worst day of playing wings of glory is better than the best day of many another thing!!!

"At least you weren't using dice " true that!
though curiously, at ricks tanks game, my dice rolling was much better than usual.

[tikkifriend]

Welcome back home Dave.
