Subject: Off with a Bang Hi Peter, CWLS is up and running. We've had our smooth and rough patches as was expected, but we're now well on our way to paying back our loans and other business obligations. Battlefield LIVE has proven to be a big hit in the central west, with gamers coming from every town in the area, and having a great time with CWLS. The staff are paid well, and absolutely relish the opportunity to tell people that they make most of their money from running around shooting people in the head with gaming guns! Myself and my two partners have found Battlefield LIVE to be incredibly easy to run smoothly on and off site. The equipment has functioned well. We've found that the long guns are wonderful player attractors, and the moment a new customer's jaw drops to the ground when we show them the weapons is just great! Battlefield LIVE has also proven to be incredibly flexible, while I have read the book from cover to cover over 3 times, we tend to base our operations loosely upon your plan, allowing us to experiment and do things our own way, and if ever something goes wrong, we can just revert back to the tried and true method you guys have given us. I personally feel that CWLS has been blessed, as in our battlefield has been flawless, out of all the sessions we've run, the worst incident that has happened has been a single ant bite, we've just been so lucky to find such a perfect battlefield. I can't go without mentioning our wonderful staff, while we're only small right now, with 3 casual refs, all have gone beyond the call of duty; all looking after each other and the customers, doing everything with a smile, which has been invaluable for taming some of our less obedient groups, I have lost my place or omitted something important during a briefing, but every time that has happened, one of our staff have picked up where I left off, making things totally seamless."
