ROCKETEERS! TO ARMS!

Howdy.

Bulldog is fast approaching and I want to remind players who like to use rockets - you know who you are! - that rockets will be welcome and crucial for Bulldog.

We will be using vehicles in the game this year. The US/UK side will have the use of Humvees supplied by the USMC.

The Humvees will be a powerful addition to the US/UK side arsenal - but they'll also offer juicy targets to insurgents with rockets!



And, as always, US/UK players can use rockets also.



The WARORD will be sent out soon, and it'll outline things in more detail. But, with this post I hope to jazz up some interest in rockets.

If you have a quality, mil-sim Nerf launcher, bring it!

Even without vehicles in play I can assure you, vortex footballs work wonders in this AO. We've had great success with them in the past and plan to continue to do so.

Glad to hear it.

I'm looking forward to the op. I think you guys are gonna have a ball. The addition of the vehicles will be a big boost - should be a lot of fun.

I hope you bring lotsa rockets!

The rules state only "unmodified" nerf rockets. I have a short M203, and have some Nerf Mini Vortex rockets that have been simply cut down aprox 1 1/2 inch to facilitate use in the short launcher. Would these be considered allowable on the field? I will bring them with me, but I would like to check prior to arriving. Thank you.

Cut down Nerf Mini Vortex rockets will be fine.

One more addendum -

Due to Nerf rockets being scarce in some places, we will allow foam golfballs:

to be used in place of Nerf rockets in 203 launchers.

These balls are all foam, and have less range than the Nerf rockets.

I've actually used these before and they aren't really that bad. I really didn't get a chance to use them in windy conditions, but I think they shoot pretty straight. I think they go as far, if not farther (50-70m). The only thing I was leery about was since they are smaller, they can be harder to find, escpecially in wooded areas, but at $2-3 for a pack of 6...I don't care. I found mine at Walmart in the gold section back when I was looking for my nerfs. I'll be getting a few more now.

Family Dollar stores, about 2 bucks a pop, thats where I've had the best luck obtaining the mini Vortex footballs if anyones looking to find some, best of luck.
