All our premium camp
sites were reserved two weeks in advance, as over 130
Players attended this event with half arriving early on
Friday night. Most players had read the game rules
online and were ready for a quick start - quick starts or
continuous play in future games is our goal.
Sides were chosen to
reflect a David against Goliath challenge.
Red Team (represented
the smaller force) and was made up of Team Trespasser,
Sabotage and Lock On, with Dennis Riggs of Team Trespasser
as General.
Green Team
(represented the larger force) and was made up of Team Swamp
Rats, Alpha Dogs, Young Guns, Scorpion, Vandals, and Xile,
with Scott Evans of the Swamp Rats as General.
At the start of
Saturday play, the Green team moved slower as they had
smaller trails through the tropical brush at their South
Base. This allowed the more experience Red Team to surround
the green teams re-entry area which forced Green team
to use 3 Helicopter re-inserts in order to break out.
This blitzkrieg allowed Red Team to score all of the
points in the morning section. At restart after
Lunch, General Scott Evans had 5 times more players
ready to go.... It was now pay back time, and
now Red found itself trapped in the South Re-entry
area. Now Red was forced to use two
helicopter assaults to escape. At the end of
play on Saturday, and even though green team had a larger
force, Red was dominating with a score of 56 1/2 to 7
1/2.
Sunday's weather lived
up to its forecast with all day light showers. But
neither team faltered, as both were eagerly standing ready
in the drizzle as the starting horn sounded screaming
"thank you mother nature!". Immediately
David, from Team Lock On, raced around the
No-mans zone and took up an excellent covered position near
the Green team's re-entry boundary. He single handedly
removed 15 Players.
It appeared for a
while that the red team would dominate again, but
Green Team was reinforced with new arrivals, and most
of green team speedily readied themselves for re-insertion
every 15 minutes, Green was able to take the lead by
1/2 point with only a half hour remaining in the game.
That's when General Scott Evans, gambled away his half point
advantage, on another helicopter landing behind the
red teams base.
Meanwhile General
Dennis Riggs Red team was on a roll, with the exception that
one of his tanks was too badly damaged too move.
General Riggs, now felt his
contribution would be better served as a psychological
warrior, he loitered in the communal re-entry staging area,
confusing the Green team players about the objective and
re-insertion times, to some effect. In the final
minutes, all 5 remaining tanks had arrived at the final
objective. Some of the tanks were so weakened
from abuse, that numerous shots were able to penetrate the
walls, and eliminate the tank drivers.
In the final
minutes, General Evans sacrificed himself by
charging forward with a grenade in order to
eliminate two Red tanks, unfortunately the crews had
just evacuated. The seasoned Red Team quickly
re-manned their tanks in the final seconds. Green Team's
Helo assault force fought through well positioned tank and
infantry fire to also re-man their tanks, this after red
team sappers darted out of the steady rain to bunker the
fogged and blinded Green tank defenders.
In the end, nothing
could stop the Green team from a come from behind
victory, winning by a single tank over red.
Special thanks to
Players Bones, Randy & Jeff, and the judges who
endured the numerous hits and soaked clothes, keeping the
games safe throughout the weekend.
All players received
the "Rolling Eagle" Patch at the end of play
Sunday, and Once again, Tony Flagg of the Vandals won the
marksmanship trophy with his ancient
pump-gun. Congratulations to all!
