RAID OVER HANOI

I had to wait at the diesel pump behin 4 VW's.

That was very well organized and proffesional event. I had alot of fun for a few bucks and thought every one was a good sportsman out there.


Too bad we couldnt rescue John McCain, looks like he will have to wait for a diplomatic solution.

He looked pretty comfortable for a POW.

Did you guys get hit with the rain or get lucky and get missed until later? How many ended up showing?

We ended up with ~15 NVA and ~25 americans, the rain on the radar looked like it was going to miss us, but then it swept in and poured on us for 45minutes. i left as the rain stopped and they played the second half.

We played in the drizzle like last game. Everyone remember to clean and oil your parts! Don't want rust setting in on your screws.

That doesn't sound too bad. I was watching the band of storms and it looked like the worst of it hit north of the field. Good turn out. How did those numbers work with the size of the field? Was it annoying or just intense? :-)

The first skirmish was intense, you had to hold a central building for 10minutes...

The second skirmish was more spread out.

It was great except for the rain . We could have easily had double that number of players on that field. Bob.

Game was great. Im glad i got a little bit of footage and photos (which will be up later today) while i could while it wasnt raining. I didn't expect that so many airsoft players had short term memory loss, because as i stated at the beginning with the ghillie suit on and my mask, i was the photographer, but i still got shot (which as expected) but what really got me hot was, it was the same people shooting me over and over again, and i would go to someone who shot me, and tell them "hey im the camera guy, dont shoot me" and 5 minutes later i would find myself getting pelted and look down range to the very same guy i just talked to with me dead center in the cross hairs.... lol glad i had the mask though!
Too bad i only played for like 30 seconds of the first skirmish, but my bro looked like he had control of it... lol
The game itself was great shar and tedder and bob really seemed like they knew exactly what needed done. the rules were a nice twist and mil simish, and it seemed pretty solid. The only problems i had were the rain, the fact that the numbers were so uneven, but i know you cant control that. And i dont know who it was, but while i was up top of the spot light tower, trying to light and throw some grenades, some kid took my gun, and started spraying with it. I sorta understood at first, but my gun has a high ROF, and the gears, gear box and motor should be respected, and taken care of, but when he held down the trigger for what seemed like 30 seconds straight, i wanted my gun back, but when i asked (politely) for it back, i was still standing there without my gun, with some kid spending all my ammo across the field. It took a forceful grab to get my baby back. Respect a man, respect a mans gun.
On a side note, i got a good 11 kills that game with my M14 baby which will also most likely be the last time i play with it, which i also lost a Mag for... so if anyone finds a Classic Army M14 mag Pm me please. Also sense i will be leaving for basic soon, i lowered the sell price for my M14 to 300$, its negotiable, but its my baby, so respect it =D But i would like it gone soon

Yeah that kid did a long ass burst with your gun because I was the one he was shooting at . Lol. Bob

This has happened before to shar at the first Ft Pierce game. Perhaps we should make a list of everything to cover at the briefings and this will be on that list: Get permission before you pick up a rifle that does not belong to you, and respect the owners decision when they ask for it back.

HEY everyone this Chris from PBW. yesterday was my first airsoft event. It was awesome, even in the rain. Those of you guys who left or could make it you Definitely missed out. I am hooked for life! I thank you guys for setting this up, and having such a great turn out. The players were awesome, great sportsmanship!

We are going to try and do an airsoft night on friday or saturday nights? Let me know what night would work better for most. That way if there are no events or anything going on, you guys still have a safe place to play! THANKS AGAIN.

Friday night thing would be cool. Much of the time large events tend to be held on Saturdays so if you did a Friday night as a regular thing you'd have less chance of conflict. I'm sure this would equate to more attendees to PB world games.

i think we are going to do a late afternoon to night game this coming SAT at firezone field. are you guys good for that?

Maybe. I'm still drying my gun.

Hell yea, I can actually make it to this one.

BTW it will be a free game.

LOL Yeah I think I might have shot at you a few times.. It was just so hard to tell who was who with the rain and fog in my goggles lol.

I'm up for it! I just have to see what else I'm doing this weekend.

We have that picnic Sunday, but we should be good for Saturday.

What picnic??

Ridvan?

move it to sat afternoon. we can have a fire too . with smores. and chicks.
btw . what was everybodys general impression of the pbhub field yesterday (other than the rain ofcourse)

Maybe better lay out the boundaries. Towards the end, we got shot up a bit because we weren't sure what was out of bounds and what was in. I went ahead and took the hit. Not a big deal. It is a great place and just needs a little tweaking to make it perfect.

Also, the US side probably needed some similar structures as the NVA side. The NVA side could also use a few little safety precautions like some non slip stuff on the stairs if we're going to play in the rain and a few hand rails. And maybe some tents at each respawn... but that's not really necessary if it isn't raining like that.
