before the game
|
Skeeter put this together - 2004 Oct Waynes World - from the
old school, Thumper, Keith, Andrew, Grendel, Wayne, Rich, Squeeks
and Skeeter then around 25 more misc. Nick & Jim made our
radar this game - solid guys.
I think we has 33 packin with us. The game has something to do
with the two twins, one being a clone. And we had the south base.
Around 220 players shows up as it was still pretty hot,and Florida
had just been hit with 5 hurricanes in a row. The north end of
the field around the bridge was flooded, and lots of trees were
down. Just before the game started our previous ally "Mark"
can to announce we with with his side, then 20 minutes later we
get the opposite news

Saturday

As the game started, our general walked on with no staff or experience
being general. He was picked because he was the twin. Apparently Wayne
didn't get the walk ons he was hoping for as stuck our side withe
the weaker general, and front loaded the other side. To make matters
worst, the north got the tank and made excellent usage of it. We begged
for volunteers from RK to be XO and Radio operator, and BRAD and some
girl that came helped bail us out. We spent most of Saturday running
a few missions, fighting the tank and swapping back and forth on sinker
town. (Unremarkable). Rich and I did find ourselves a neat hidey hole
up north on the only passable north trail in a pair of yellow huts,
with blind curves on each side of the trail. As the bad guys would
wander the trail - POP goes the weasel. After 45 minutes of ambushing
passers by a tank came to visit with Mark (our previous general) walking
point. We pop him and he wanders back down the trail towards the ref,
walks back toward us still plugged, pulls his plug and throws a card
at our building blowing it up. We walk out like good sports. Later
we find out Jackie spotted a number of counterfit cards being used
and produced by Mark's team. Later that day I pop the law rocket operator
of a squad of 15 and he proceed to keep coming at me. No ref in site,
I pop him 6 more times, not missing once. He is unloading w/ his semi
and apparently getting mad that he cant seem to hit me and I haven't
missed yet. The bastard then punches me with his whole team watching
(and the video guy who was there said he didn't get it on tape. Jim
was with me and saw the whole thing. I commented "Its just a
game till you start swinging". |

Saturday Night
|
Saturday Night we grabbed the same old hotel, hit the pool with
malts in hand, to be followed up with steak galore at the Road House.
Rich, Grendle, Jim swap in-services stories and try to think myself
out of leg cramps. (oh, but the fooseball table there rocks!) Sunday
we return bright and early

Sunday
|
Sunday we had about 10 decent RK and told the general we would
manage the east road, and we did with 5 LPs and a series of less
disciplined roving patrols. 80% of the walk on guests of RK proved
near worthless unless you count fodder factor. Anyway we picked
up 6 genetic props and ran 5 missions between 8:00 am and 11:00am
all on the east road. In the kids favor, I will saw it looked
like we had a decent showing at night.
Grendel has had enough of the scenario stuff that causes the
poor attitudes that seem to be running rampant in Ocala, and he
let Wayne get an earfull. We split, and later phoned Skeeter who
reported we walked with MTV and BRAD our walk on radio operator
got MTP. I think skeeter has the certificates. This is likely
our last venture to Ocala for paintball. The attitudes are out
of control and the old school players have left. I guess we were
just slow figuring it out.
Wayne, Ben : It's been fun. Call us if things rebound : john@hgwt.net
