I have regular conversations with John Lu about this potential op. No one said its not going to happen (no one who really knows anyway), but its not likely to happen in February.
Marauders Airsoft doesn't make statements about such things, although some of us Marauders are in the loop. Only John Lu makes statements (official ones) about his ops.
MANY people from all of the different faces of Arizona Airsoft groups are working towards getting a National Op here, and now John Lu knows the response will support such an op. It will happen.
And Pilz, before you say anything to Kilo, just don't. He has earned the right to say the things he said.
