Author Topic: Afghan Ops Contest: Play and win a 1495 Pelican Case! ($289.99 MSRP) (Read 7051 times)

Once again, Tactown Gear has generously sponsored a contest where you can win real prizes for playing Afghan Ops. This time, you can win a 1495 Pelican Case. This beauty is all black, comes with a full foam insert (which you can mold to match whatever you put in the case) and a combo lock to keep it all safe. Keep your iPad, camera w/accessories, laptop or Army.ca login information safe from prying eyes!

Just like last time, 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.

The new Escort sensitive documents back to KAF mission is located in FOB Khakrez, and is clearly marked with (CONTEST) in the title.

On Friday, April 1st at noon AT, the winner will be chosen at random.

At proficiency level 1, the mission stats are:

Rank 38 Required
Consumes 37 Combat Readiness
Provides 298 Combat Experience
Equipment needed:

3 x LUVW (G-Wagen) (200)
3 x POL (2) [Consumed]
1 x 1495 Pelican Case (30)

Let the games begin... again!

Cool got a couple missions in and it got me my 100 Unique Equipment Owned which got me my.........

about 2 weeks earlier than I was expecting

Yay, I have a ton of POL and finally something to use it on. Boo, only saw this post now and have to wait for my CR to build back up after spending it on HVM to level up (and then spent all of that too!).

What an amazing prize though. I happened to look at that a couple of days ago when Tactowngear posted about the new product and was thinking to myself that it would be great if he donated something like that. Never thought it would happen with the MSRP $$ on it. Definitely going to get some missions going on this one for sure!

I'd finally stop smashing and denting my laptop in the field! Definitely going to pour some CR into this contest. Thanks to Mike and Tactowngear for hosting another great contest!

If you don't happen to win it, buy a Pelican 1090... same great pelican protection, 1/3 the pelican cost.

Doh, sorry folks... I had today as the closing date, but that wouldn't give folks much time to work on the contest. I meant to put the end date about a month out... Apr 1st, not Mar 1st. Sorry about that!

Thought it seemed like a quick one this time when you first posted it. But figured our chances might be better for winning! Nice to know we have another month though too, for a great prize.

Winning this would make me feel a whole lot better about the MilPoints I bought...

Heheh, bribery (although welcome) won't affect your chances.

kuchunwah · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2011, 07:56:23 »

rank 38 is soooooo far away...

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #16 on:** March 02, 2011, 08:46:08 »

I'll try to make the next contest more accessible.

NinerSix · « **Reply #17 on:** March 02, 2011, 13:08:30 »

Back on top! YES!

(I am not doing anything else than that mission until the end of the contest)

I feel the same way about 200.

SevenSixTwo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2011, 16:04:08 »

Hey Mike, just for clarification:

We can go above 20 tickets right? :-)

Mike Bobbitt · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2011, 16:21:32 »

Sure can. You can go as high as you please.

NinerSix · « **Reply #21 on:** March 27, 2011, 16:50:32 »

Well, I am done. I don't think I can get to level 17 before the end of the month so lv 16 is where I top out.

Good luck to all.

JohnTBay · « **Reply #22 on:** March 27, 2011, 20:14:40 »

Good luck to all,

I'm kind of surprised there doesn't seem to be a signifigant correlation between top players and most ballots

PuckChaser · « **Reply #23 on:** March 28, 2011, 00:42:34 »

The ratio for CR to CE isn't high enough. I'll probably get myself onto the leader board for the ballots, but not do any more than that. At the top of the highscore sheet, if you miss a day, you may fall behind a couple hundred CE which is hard to make up once all the int missions are completed.

NinerSix · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2011, 08:15:34 »

Yeah, I dropped 6(I think) postition focusing on the contest. So it depends on your priorities. If you were on top and wanted to stay there, putting CR into that mission did not help much.
