Makes most other airsoft look frankly embarassing...

[sigma3]

Wonderful stuff as usual, man. Even if this movie thing never happens, I need to join you for one of your games!

 

There's a brave man, risking an M6 out in the field of combat. Do me a favor and grab that for me so I can do a better job of keeping it safe.

up and running with a pro upgrade;)

Awesome photos as always appslap, but really tell me what do you do for 96 hours? Can you right a short review?

[appslapp]

here is a debriefing of the game from diffirent groups within the platoon. i used goggel translate.....so it may have som spelling flaws;)

 

platooncomander:

 

I want to thank all friends who participated in this game. It was really fun game and it was fun to work with gotha ​​friends(1 platoon) with RI in the lead. Without the cooperation and Osito I had it would have been very difficult to get up fraction. As the appointed leader burst into his ability to even play airsoft, the situation was critical for us initially. After the attack on the telecomarea, we had created a unit of the fraction and then ran everything smoothly!

 

The routine that we have as an organization was worth gold. The game had become much worse without it. The attack we carried out was also the very routinely. It was very rewarding to set up plans and then implement them with great results.

 

Assignments completed:

 

1st Find RIB boat READY

2nd Marine sales and find aviator on one of the islands READY

3rd Find the injured airman and escort him so he can defuse the bomb READY

4th Aggressive patrolling of the roads with vehicles READY

5th Attackers and defenders must be clarified

6th Attack and secure the missile vehicle READY

7th Escort of vehicles to missile sandpit READY

8th Searching battle for touch to gain ground READY

 

Not completed missions:

1st Defend the base (this we gave up and rolled the whole fraction)

2nd Reconnaissance ops against the enemy base Not started

 

3rd Defend Missile vehicle in the sand pit.

Here were the odds against us. The enemy recond our positions with several people who were offgame (cheating in my world), they attacked our position 3 to 4 times by sending people to a nearby respawn. I think they used a respawn to participate in the same battle / mission which is also not allowed. We had a lot longer in our respawn and therefore had no chance of winning the battle. This was very strange because this mission was so important. I think because of the above reasons that we draw a line under that mandate.

 

 

I feel that we were second in the ambushes, that we run into. When we attacked we did so routinely and with great punching power. Believe that these attacks we were clearly won.

 

We also made the day after you (1 team) left, a large attack with vehicles in a FAP.

 

The vehicles were a strong advantage for us.

they were protection and contained ammunition, water and food etc. They made us resilient and provided offensive punch in attack. R.I. monstertruck was impressive in many battles especially in the battle of the telecom pole. Both in attack and defens mode during the fighting.

 

We learned a lot about fighting with the vehicles, and develop our cooperation further.

 

Thing that we leard

1st The distances between the vehicles 50-100m

2nd Drive through at high speed and shoot at everything at a small ambushes without landmines

3rd At a stronger ambushes with mines.... Shoot all targets and suspicious items, dismount and take the fight on foot.

4th Using the vehicles machineguns were very effective if you had dismount troops on the sides that could protect the vehicles, They were very vulnerable to enemies who ran up and blasted them.

 

 

 

Mission 1 RIB boat

 

We rolled out from our base to sandpit at where we assumed that the boat was, the boat however was not possible to find. We drove past a real civilian in the sand pit that had seen the boat north of the sand pit at a turning / tractor path. We went to this location and found the boat.

 

The boat was escorted along the most eastern road to the game area, south of the eastern Laxsjön(lake). The escort consists of gbg platoon, while Encino man aka Romanian aka Chris the Platoon commander led the rest of the force against another target.

 

In double-crossing parallel to the gravel pit encountered machinery(1 team) + antagonists(1 team), which was first vehicle in line, some mines and took fire from 1-2 a clock. The enemy was on a small hill. Dräpers(1 team) last in line did dismount and flank the enemy firing position through a wetland. We had to cross a stream at down treetrunks. Then we went out on the line and pressed up to the small hill. We arrive at the enemy firing position undetected while the machinery of blasts at the enemy from the road. Dräpers swiftly defeated the enemy on this position and we can see enemies fire from other positions, which turns south.

 

We take over the pursuit to the next intersection where Alex get shoot. We gathers the team and storms this position through heavy fire. We also use the vehicles that can add fire with vehicle-mounted machine guns. The position is cleared. After respawn vehicle continues the march south towards the road 205th On several suspicious points, we dismount and go in front of the column, go throu these suspicious areas and searches. The rest of the march passes without remark. The boat is launched and a mix of volunteers from the dräpers and the machine sits in the boat to search the island for flights.

 

 

The rest goes to a nearby turning zone with a beach, where we rest and eat. We hear when the boat set off. Approximately one hour later, we hear the boat coming back. We're up to meet them at the boat launch site. Aviator found. We return to the vehicle and return to our base. Here we leave of pilot to Encino Man.

 

 

 

 

The booat ride

 

GBG friends amfibiegroup put full speed towards the southern part. We wanted to start with the small islands, but because these parts were not plotting trade, we decided to start Storön, the largest uninhabited island in the lake. We dismount on its east side and five of us started to search the island while Alex watched from the boat. After about 20 minutes Alex calling us back and says that he picked up the pilot on the radio.

 

Around the same time, we could see a canoe with the coastalhunters(Swedish Seal..ish) due south of our position. We did not know the pilot's exact position but he descrition sounded like it was near where we could see the coastalhunters. RIB'en thrown away and we run anti-clockwise around the island and on its western side. The canoe will disappear without a trace behind a small island and we will judge that they had seen us and hiding there. While Alex is talking with the pilot on the radio and his position becomes more o more secure. In the end we see him waving a white flag on a promontory.

 

Here we go in to unmarkt area which meant that the boat had to keep a low speed. While we knew that the coastalhunters had eyes on us and could easily defeat us with their AG90 (50cal, that had special rules) .

 

We are faced with several choices here. Should we pick up the pilot and drive straight back at the risk of being displaced by an AG90 shot? Should we leave the three men to secure the pilot while the boat gets a car that can escort us back but the likelihood that there is an f-group around that can beat us out? Should we leave a man with the pilot while the rest goes to the island to take out the the coastalhunters? We chose the first. In the pilot, and full speed for home.

 

Because of that it was so shallow, it took a long time before Zoltan dare turn on the engines at full speed. First we had to drag us out a bit which was a thrilling moment. KJ had always shot mode on us and we just wanted out of there as quickly as possible. Finally pulled the engines running, but it was not until we could no longer see the island with the the coastalhunters did sat on that we could exhale.

 

At the beach where we launched the boat was a car and people who were waiting for us, but no car from GBG friends, we were somewhat nervous but soon saw that it was Whiskey car standing there * puh *.

 

 

 

 

Assignment second Find aviator and defuse the bomb before 6:00 pm

 

Suddenly in the middle of the night Alex storming into the tent. We have been ordered by the district to find aviator. He has info about a nuclear-bomb to explode at 06:00. We have an approximate position of a reconnaissance unit has seen the pilot and blood trails disappear into the terrain.

 

The murmur of tired soldiers in tents, but Alex is persistent. Bomb explodes, the game is over. We take out and kit up. Encino-man announces that there is no point in even trying, so he goes down to the lake, light a fire. His leadership skills left much to be desired. I will take command.

 

The plan is to drive as many vehicles as possible to the aviator. We will not stop for anything but mines. At contact, we let all weapons systems firing and increases the speed.

 

As we approach the place where search should be, we make combat contact. RI's monstertruck engage the enemy and their squad is off to take the battle on the road. They take some losses, but can hold its position. Down on the right seems the enemy is concentrated. Machinery run down the right flank to take up the fight. The battle is furious, but they are moving forward slowly but surely. Dejan and Marcelo goes out left on the road to protect the vehicles. Dejan shoot one or two shots to the ground and an enemy shouting hit. He was a meter from the road and we had driven past him but he did not do something. Good to Dejan got him.

 

The battle try and calm down and the only thing we have is one enemy thats hide on the left side lying in undergrowth. We shoot supressing fire on him. Aviator is found down on the right side and he turned over to the antagonists(1 team). He is very messy and it gets very "drama" in antgonisternas truck. As this drags on, we become stagnant for too long. We send R.I. further south to meet up with the Swedes to keep an intersection. With these, we will negotiate the bomb.

 

When the rest of the column starts to move, we still have sporadic contact on the left side. We roll slowly and take cover on the right side of the cars. We fire on the left. When we come through this hotspot we sit up and connects to the RI . The Airman handed over to the Swedes, in return to take us to the lake to defuse the bomb. The rest of the night floating on without comment. Bomb defused and we will return to base with over one hour credit. Check on the mission. This was a turnaround. A redemptive mission with everything to loose. We let go of inhibitions and stormed off. We went to bed tired but very happy.

 

This is not all stuff that we did under the 96h.....
