Last years veteran kit came with regulator, relief vlv, etc. But no compressor. Little bearing on what is in this years KOP I know. I wonder if the published variation list is complete.
In any case if you do not get a compressor, you can use last years or buy one without it counting against your spending limit. This is assuming that pneumatics are legal in 2013.
Yes I know the implication of First choice selections is that they will be.
