Another month, and another contest courtesy of Tactown Gear. This time, you can win a RECON 5 sleeping bag. This baby is good to -20... and just in time for summer!

As always, each proficiency level you gain with the contest mission earns you one 'ballot' for the prize draw. So if you make it to proficiency level 20, you have 20 chances to win the prize. It's not as easy as it sounds though... with each level, proficiency is harder to earn so the higher you go, the longer it takes to get to the next level. Check the Stats tab at any time to see how many ballots you have earned, as well as the top 10 players for the contest. All you need is one ballot to win!

The new Establish a local presence via a long-range foot patrol mission is located in FOB Martello, and is clearly marked with (CONTEST) in the title.

On Monday, July 4th at 4pm AT, the winner will be chosen at random.

At proficiency level 1, the mission stats are:

Rank 22
Consumes 22 Combat Readiness
Provides 83 Combat Experience
Equipment needed:

1 x Desert Boots (8)
1 x C7A2 Rifle (40)
1 x Vulture II Backpack (20)
1 x RECON 5 Sleeping Bag (28)

Enjoy!

Thank you to Mike and Tactown Gear for another fun contest and great prize.

Well worth trying for and fun at the same time.

This looks like fun! I'll probably be away for a bit this month so I can probably get a few ballots in

Thanks again guys!

Looks like this sucker will be easier to stow in the rucksack compression bag...here's hoping for the win. Thanks TacTown and Mike!

Such a sweet piece of kit!!!! Time to up those levels. Wait, what am i doing? Time for less typing, more for playing the game!

Sapperian · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:36:49 »

Sadly, so far looks like JohnTBay has this one in the 'bag.'

NinerSix · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2011, 12:43:33 »

Don't despair.

JohnTBay · « **Reply #12 on:** June 07, 2011, 13:54:17 »

Don't worry, I'm going on course towards the end of the month so I'm just trying to get ballots in while I can

still plenty of time to get ballots in!

Also, I just realized July 4th is a Monday, not Sunday

Ah! Yes. Independence Day. A nice long weekend.

Didn't want to do the draw on Canada Day... With any luck a draw will be the last thing on my mind!

NinerSix · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2011, 10:17:22 »

Common BABY!

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #16 on:** June 24, 2011, 07:44:14 »

Just a reminder there there is a little over one week left to get your ballots in! I've also pushed the time back a bit, as I may be on the road at noon AT.

NinerSix · « **Reply #17 on:** June 24, 2011, 09:52:01 »

I don't think I will be able to make another level in time. It is a slow process 1% at a time.

kawa11 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 24, 2011, 22:27:10 »

Rank 17, almost there!

.... I will get a ballot in damn it!

FoverF · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2011, 04:21:26 »

Man, oh man, I needs me a new sleepin bag...

FoverF · « **Reply #20 on:** July 04, 2011, 13:28:30 »

I swear, I can almost taste it...

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #21 on:** July 04, 2011, 15:07:49 »

...and the winner is...

Exarch, who had 17 ballots in the draw. Congratulations!

Curses! Foiled again!

But congrats to the winner, and a huge thank-you again to Tactown for sponsoring this great game!

Dear Exarch,

I hate you.

That is all.

kratz · « **Reply #25 on:** July 04, 2011, 20:00:30 »

Good job Exarch.

I figured I had 3 ballots and that was enough for a chance at winning.

Exarch · « **Reply #26 on:** July 04, 2011, 21:35:59 »

Whoa. This is, quite honestly, the first time I have ever won any prize when there has been a chance of not winning.

Thank you Mike for your time and effort and TacTown for their sponsorship of the contests. I will have to make a few extra camping trips this year to make good use of the sleeping bag.

Also thank you to everyone that uses and contributes to this site; I may not post much at the moment but I have been reading it regularly for a couple years. It is my mission to find a solution to my chronic pain and join the CF, so hopefully winning this will give my morale a little needed kick.

Next up, bumper sticker..

Congrats man!

Also thanks again for an awesome game
