Leadfarmer (one of the Planet Eclipse Emortals) gave us a bit of a lowdown about the first 'Gulag' event. Commando action Centre my homefield, allowed me to host a new type of event.

The EMF100 proved to be the weapon of choice for many of the participants. Reliable, great performance and light weight...it is now a Speedmag tournament marker :-) First Place went to SAS Ottawa (Murdoch, Hammer and Bender)... Congratz.
