Present for SCRK - Rich, Jami, Brian and Yolonda O., Jim F., Jeff
B., C.J. (Jeffs Friend) and ME.
We were put on the French Team with our Captain (TB) being the
publisher of Scenario Paintball news. Some of the teams we ran with
were:
1) Wild Cardz
2) Hardballers
3) Doom Troopers
Mr. Brian Odgers was awarded the Sportsmanship award for opitimising
what a scenario paintballer is (We think it is because he went face
first into the swamp in the middle of the night )
During both Saturday and Sunday play we [RK] were all about getting
missions run. I have know idea how many we accomplished but it was
a bunch.
When the horn blew for Sat's start our General attempted to use
us to hold the middle of the field below the "Nam" with
Harballers on the right at the dog leg and Wild Cardz to our left
in and above the "Nam". We did our job well but attrition
won out. Thankfully the Wild Cardz extended to their right and hooked
up with some stragglers and Hardballers to fill the gap. At this
point when RK started coming back onto the field our general started
using us for what we do best, RUN MISSIONS.
We found bodies, shields and rings; held territory, clomped around
with coconuts, said lines from the movie and tried to remember movie
trivia. We did a great job (mainly Brian and Deep) of giving intel
to our general and staying in touch.
Rich barrel tagged Ben T. (XO for the English) in the Swamp; Brian
O. put a clear pink SPLAT in the middle of the English Generals
Back; I snuck into the English's base listened in on their missions
for 1/2 hr then barrel tagged 4 security and eliminated both the
General and XO in their command bunker.
While working with Rich, Jeff and C.J. up the Managed woods next
to the dog leg mid afternoon Sat.
I hunkered down behind some barrels and drainage pipe in front
of our lines. Some Hard Ballers and Doom Troopers were maybe 10
yards behind me holding off the approahing English. The English
had no idea that I was there and when they engaged the Hardballers
and Doom Troopers they would have to expose their sides and heads
to me. According to the judge who was there (laughingly I might
add) told me that I'd eliminated 6 out of the nine english involved
in the assault. I always waited to take my shots when my guys returned
fire to mask the fact the were getting hit by me.
We quickly moved forward to the "Castle" near the English's
insertion point where I took a shot at an English guys head nearily
missing. He ducked then came back up blind firing, so I quickly
moved in and to the side rapid pumping the trusty Sniper II landing
two shots to the cranium. Said player came out complaining to the
Judge bird-dogging me that I was over shooting. The Judge's Response
was, with dripping sarcasm, "yea right with that auto cocking
pump, get off the field"
At this point I seperated since we [the French] were assaulting
the English base. I decided to try getting behind their base (our
old clap base) through the swamp. As I slided past their insertion
point, I saw and offered Ben T. and escort to his base but for some
reason he turned me down. I cut across the swamp at the tape line
and was nearing the other shore when I heard some English Scum approaching
from the front. That Bastard Ben must have told them I was coming.
I crouched down and did my best to imitate a stump and it must have
worked since they walked past me by no more than 10-15 ft. I decided
I should follow them to ensure they did not back door our force
assaulting their base. I trailed them back across the swamp and
up to a smallish clearing off their insertion road. I was not in
position yet to take them on when one of the casually turned and
looked in my direction. Since I did not know for sure if he saw
me I decide to attack any way. I missed my first shot but got the
second guy with my next. At this point the 4 other friends opened
up in my direction and caught me. Unknown to me Rich was walkin
off the field there and saw it happen. Not knowing it was me Rich
told my back doored opponents "you need to go shake that guys
hand". They all came over and we had a good laugh and traded
a couple of tales. (( Rich comments on this:
This was a riot. You could just tell these kids were all speedballers
with absolutely "0" scenario experience. A couple of them
were so badly that I thought to myself "If I was taken out
next to my insertion point, I would definitely shake the opponents
hand" so I told all of them they should go see who that was
and shake his/her hand. Come to find out, it was Grendel!))
Well these were some of my better exploits.
