Re: Practice field building - Yes I know we are late ;)

Great to hear about the continued improvement! Keep it up!

Defenses: I was not part of this, but as I understand, it was a few hundred dollars worth of wood and hardware for the "team versions". Unless you're planning a scrimmage, you only need one tower and one bank of defenses. We backed our tower with a few pieces of pegboard and some built-in cabinets in the room (though if we had a wall that would have done it by itself).

Carpet: We were fortunate enough to get half of the 2015 Bayou blue field carpet that we used this year. Previously we used a piece of carpet that was donated. Check with local carpet vendors (especially if one of them is already a sponsor) to see if they are willing to donate the last dozen feet from a bolt of low-pile commercial carpet.

We're planning to do at least one post-season event, and we're a bit far away in any case. Actually, we anticipate keeping both T1GGR and R00 and the defenses for demos for the whole year, and maybe beyond. Stronghold has all the elements to make a good game for demos for several years.
