i have to say an amazing game Shep created. this was the UConn Airsoft Teams first big event and it was just amazing. organization and thinking that was involved was great and squad movements where nice. rolling with a good Recon Team was cool too (hence the scrape marks on my chest and stomache). i hope the UConn Airsoft Team can go more games like this and i hope you all enjoyed having the UConn Airsoft Team there because we did our best to get our full team there, even though we didn't. but again, great game shep
Having organized squads like yours and Filforce there made all the difference in good game play. Gives us a challenge, and it should give you a challenge.
My Recount:
I rounded everyone up for the briefing then non-chalantly disappeared down the trail and made my to alpha. I was informed Black ops was looking to secure me while Rangers and Seals were sent to being sent on a seek and destroy to find me. I meant not to be found unless I wanted to so I found a nice little rock ledge with ample foliage cover and down low enough to not stand out on a ridge line. Fireteam Alpha ended up walking almost directly to me along the tape line, and sure enough, that's were I got rescued. I was left with Victor, Noodle and Ritz and as Ritz pointed out, they couldnt keep up. Charlie fort needed to get me in so Victor escorted me there. Chris, if you read this, the Tape lines are extremely convoluted down along Bravo into Charlie. Very hard to distinguish actual boundaries when theres two. I got spotted once or twice and had to back up and circle around, but I refused to engage in a fire fight as that would have pretty much ended the game for me right there if I was hit or captured. Long story short, I made it into Charlie. We got points, and all was good. We got new orders to take and hold the village, so the entire team short of 6 who were ordered to attack tombstone (only to get annhilated) did just that and never came under attack. I unloaded on a couple guys near some rocks, and got one of them in the back. 5 minutes later, I got tagged in the goggles by that same guy, lol, I guess who ever he was with tagged him back in once his 5 was about up, lol. I laughed.
The rest of the day, and game, was wrought with back stabbing, pay offs, negotiations, mag dumping fire fights, a brutal hold on dogs leg we could not break, lots of safety kills, hunting down shep only to get caught defending Meko from a side fire fight with rangers. I took out three before getting taken out by quite a few more people filtering in. Got shot in the arm that time and still have the mark, lol.
Sundays village battle to find the nuke was insane. We high tailed out of alpha with a large force, and took out all the opfor on the hill behind the G&L Murder house before taking heavy losses to capture that. For at least 15 minutes there was heavy fire coming in and bags worth spraying out of Noodles SAW until someone started laying BB's into that window to shut him up. I saw that that was pointless and bolted out to help our fire team in the village. I must have healed at least 5 people, some on many occasions and got shot myself once to get healed by Ferrari that time. I bolted across when I saw that the ridge was taking heavy fire and was told to do a binky special, so I backed out, loaded my mags and went on my way. I passed a dead sniper team heading to respawn on my way out, cut through tombstone down through charlie and stopped when I saw a 2 man team reinserting. One walked through charlie fort which was about 20 feet in front of me. I waited for him to get out in the open again and fired at his back. I bolted for charlie fort after he put his hand up, and moved on the second guy who was behind some rocks. To that guy, I'm sorry, I honestly could not hear ya over the mech box on my gun. He apparantly tried to call hit 4 times while I was firing. Again, sorry.
By the time I made it up top, the entire Rangers/Seals team was wiped out and sitting there in respawn. I watched them with Caelus until we captured thier CO and high tailed it out of there. Meko located the nuke but failed to locate the laptop at that time and hi-tailed it out. We took Alpha and secured it after hiding the nuke. At that point I was told I had to double cross our entire team, capture our CO Pops, kill the rest and bring the enemy CO back to Staging to meet with shep. I forcefully recruited Meko and Budda with Sheps son helping to make their decision an easy one. Then off to Ritz who was already with us. I had my gun on everyone just in case someone caught on. We called pops over to discuss the next mission and at that point Ottoman radioed into pops that I was acting fishy and to watch me for a back stab. Pops had his radio on loud enough for me to hear. Every man up there had a gun on them, so as soon as Shifty heard the same radio message (the look of shock on his face was f'n great, lol) I safety killed all of them. Shep's son safety killed Victor. Ritz waved by by to Shifty, and I shot Ottoman and PhotosbyMike to keep them out of it. We moved both commanders, decided capturing the only demolitions man was a good idea as well and severly set back the teams ability to move on thier next mission. Had I been shot doing this I would have been worth a hundred points to the team, but no one bothered and I managed to escape. Shep allowed a release of Ottoman and Pops for me, and they went off to find the laptop which they did. I wasnt in the rest of the game at that point so I can't comment on the rest. To those of you that won the raffles, congrats. Both teams played well and I had a blast hanging out with and playing with everyone.
Edit: To the staff of SP and the G&L/KS staff running the event. Thanks. The game went smoother than any of the others I've played and seemed better organized this year as well. Issues were handled promptly, the building donated by G&L, Deception and Ottoman, changed the way the village games run, and the game was just a great success in my opinion. If theres to be another in this series, I'm definitely looking forward to it.
