Ok so this isn't the first time I've posted something like this I'll admit, but as my last project basically died I'll start again.

I'm looking into setting up a woods event that's a little different, and I want peoples input into the format. Any sensible suggestions are welcome, non sensible only if they make me laugh :p

My first thought, and my personal favourite (to date) is to make the event a mech-only event, no electros.
Obviously this presents problems for some, but there are still a lot of players with an automag, 'cocker or pump in their gear bags (Or in the wardrobe with the mothballs).
My reasons for this are
a) Bringing the speed down will change the game completely
b) It will save you paint, meaning money
c) Mechs are ace

My second idea is a little bit more basic, a Koth style event, in that the team has limited paint to use during the day. Possibly allow electros for this one, but limit ROF at 12bps or something like. Again this will save paint/money.

I intend to hold it at a site in Staffordshire (TBC), which is pretty much central for most people.

No idea about entry fee/prizes at this point, the first job is to get people interested.

As you may have guessed I'm not a huge fan of high bps, personally I don't believe it's needed to have a decent woods game, but that's just my opinion :D

This is on walkonzone as well

I've been floating the idea of buying another mech cocker for a while now cos I think there damn accurate, sound sweet and I had one as my first gat:)
So I for one would deffo be up for a 'mech' only tourny, would be a laugh if nothing else.

that would be so cool to have only mec i just wish i could come and bring my automags.:D
Why can't you? What's stopping you, other than the event not actually being set up yet....

if you do prises for first second third - i think 3 of us is fine :D
nah, need at least 5 or 6 :p

I'm sure we can sort out some sort of prizes, but before that happens need to know what people think, how much interest there is in the format etc.

This is something I'm serious about doing, even if it takes me all year to sort out it will happen.
