Last week I sprained my knee. No tear, just a hard pull which had no inflamation thanks to the tight knee pad.
Note: BoyP was there running the place. They Open at 9 now!
Ish is a friends wife who wanted to try, now that my other friend could not make it I had a spare gun. I told her it was just going to be the two of us, cause my captain is also sick and another player won’t play without him.

1st Game. Attack.
Starting form speed ball area, Most of everyone took the high road. Some guy we met and introduced to, tool the middle and we stayed on the rightmost wall.
Crawled down the left side, of the field along the wall. Ish was with me, I feel I was able to sum up ever situation very easily every step of the way. Every time I would move, I would tell her what I will be doing and why.
I will be going to that mound over there. I will craw and hopefully they won’t see me or be too hard for me to hit. I will take my time and you should just watch if anyone shoots at our general area. When I get there I will signal you to follow me and where you can stay.
That pretty much what I did for every action. It was, I will take the first risk, when I leave take the position where I was standing and watch the direction I was watching. It was a lot of crawling and we got REALY close to the fort.
If I could have just sprinted it… but my knee is still bad. If Rj and G-m was there it would have been a simple: suppress and maneuver. Heck G-m would have told me to suppress the fort guy while he would rush in and coup-de-grace the inside of the fort.
Lessons Learned. I am very aware now, more able to realize and figure out the nuances of the situation. I can spot more competently. What was different was that I was forced to be on my own, because of that I took my time watched my breathing and did everything according to what I knew I could do in the given parameters. Better fit, I was able to hold up and keep my concentration.
The weather was better. I think it was 6 degrees cooler so that was a bonus. It will just keep getting cooler till christmass. Awesome.
2nd Game. Defend-ish.
Everyone was tired and it was near 12, so many took the fort. I was finally able to check that high ground area and was suprized to see the barren and craggy killing zone. It was HIGH ground with a good vantage point. The property is much larger than we last remembered it.
Ish and I basically went all the way back, to the wall where there was a house under construction. The Cover and grass was a simple puzzle of move and over-watch. With my bum knee all I can do was walked.
At first I advanced pretty far but lost contact with Ish. So against my nagging feeling I went back, after all she was my responsibility. Again, a repeat of the first game I talked her through every step and I was surprised at how I was able to keep it detailed yet short.
Cover to Cover, then caught one. He didn’t see me because I was higher ground and he was expecting them to be below. Brrrt with 420fps at .25 and a 509mm tight barrel carefully polished every game precisely calibrated and got one easy! Whoo hoo! I didn’t let up and made sure the heat was on till the gun was raised. Fearing more we moved cautiously forward.
We kept advancing. The terrain puzzles were plenty and with the bum knee it was some serious processing. I would look and tell Ish to watch where I opened up my vulnerabilities. Wow, the terrain was made up of small ravines carving out 3 paths. I could see the marshal and could tell there was tangos.
De-ja Vu. It was the Last Game all over again. When we were at the other side, and G-m told us to watch the flank I’m attacking with Ish. Everyone was keeping their eyes on the battlefield instead of the vulnerable flank, they were picked off one by one till it was L1 and me.
This time, it was Me and Ish and we were picking off the same guys who failed to watch their flank. It was Piao Liang!!! Saw one bending over to sit down, aching and tired at about 20m. When I was going to Ish to relay the information Another one I could barely see except for his red highlights on his multi-cam (RED!!!). Anyway, it was two more minutes and the equation was simple-ish. Shoot the closer multi-cam tango.
Brrrrrr that was probably 50BBs in a stead stream and the guy JUST buckled under what was not even cover. Then I took cover. It was a DEAD hit, the 1st guy I shot was Farther and he admitted, this guy is just a DICK. A few minutes later, end game was called.
Felt awesome… in hindsight I should have told Ish to start shooting when I stopped. But damn, I was too excited, and it was their freaking backs! Like Critical Failure in your tactics roll open. No place to run, but same with us if they decided to shoot back. BUT they can’t because they’d have to turn around.
How Ish did. Well for starters as an newbie, great. Although the gun was too big for her. She got tired easily and this was with crippled me. Still, the camelback capable backpack helped her last. At least the work invovled wasn’t so much and she could take her time and initiative.
It will be next year or if I did something worthy of a bonus could I afford to buy my 3rd gun. Ideally it would be a AK beta specs for $3600! even at 300fps at 0.25 that would still be usefull. It would take 5k to upgrade it to li-poly, metal bushings, o-ring and hi-speed dynamo. No need to change the spring, just 300fps but squealing quadruple the standard ROF
