Sweet.

Well if Kevin is in the real man list I won't be able to push him out, will have to try a new trick

Asbjorn, thanks for continuing to do this kick-ass event each year. Some day I'll make it to see the fun going on.

*Bump* Very much looking forward to this. Thanks for taking the initiative.

I know it's looking a bit forward, but please, please, please do these next year, I can't go this year...

Orazio, since this series has been a brilliant feature of the War for the past (??) five years, I'd say the odds are good that you'll get to play next year!
