OP Fueling the Fire

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D/5

This was by far the best airsoft event I have ever played at!!!

The weather could not have been better.

Me and my bro had a blast and I'm glad I got his gun fixed so we could go. I would have regretted it immensely if we couldn't go.

All players played awesome, the role players were awesome, the guys that got this event going did an awesome job.

All around a awesome day and a very well put together airsoft event.

P.S. Can the organizers get the final scores up, please? I really want to see what team won!!

To everyone involved, thank you for a kick ass day!

Tan team: You guys were bad ass. You accomplished everything we set out to do, you made my second time being a CO a great experience.

Goldwater crew: You guys played your rolls perfectly! I'm glad I got the chance to work with/against you. Team RFA, you are a bunch of BAMFs. 'Nuff Said.

Green Team: Piper, it was great to finally get to meet you, and thanks for the non-stop pressure all day. You and your team did a killer job.


Special shout outs:
Mikey our "Sheik" roleplayer. You did an AMAZING JOB! You were an absolute blast to play along side of all day.

The Green team sniper who relentlessly picked off our medics. Seriously dude, I don't know who you were, but you had my team in a rage. Bravo to you sir!

Again, I'd like to thank everyone involved in today's game, I for one had a truly great time.

I didn't actually get to play since I was reffing, but I had a blast! I was truly impressed by the sportsmanship of all the players there. Everyone was calling their hits and the game ran pretty smooth. Thank you Tino and Mopedman for letting ref with you guys today Next time I'm playing though because that splatmandu's field is absolutely sick!

My hat goes off to all you who came and enjoyed this event. You were an amazing group with tremendous amounts of sportsmanship (which made my job as ref that much simpler) and to anyone who missed out on this you don't even realize how much fun this milsim was.

Thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible. It was honestly the most fun I've had since moving to Michigan a year and a half ago, and the most fun I've EVER had playing airsoft.

The communication, field, sportsmanship, all of it was top-notch. It was worth every bit of the long drive there and back and I look forward to seeing you all again very soon!




I'd suggest using imgur.com for images pertaining to this. You can upload whole albums and view the pictures in their proper size. Photobucket and imageshack are unreliable and shrinks the images down

Where to start??

First, thank you Splatmandu for hosting the largest airsoft event held in Michigan. The owner and staff of Splatmandu are the real deal. I don't know how to put into words how great (yes, I mean Great) you guys are. I drove two hours to attend. It was worth every minute. I can honestly say that I was disappointed when the event had to end. The entire experience went so fast. I was impressed with your field. It was obvious you have spent time and money creating a player friendly course. Thank you!!!

Congrats to AoK for organizing an outstanding event. Top notch!!! The event was well ref'd. The maps were helpful. Having the vendors and repair services was well thought out and extremely helpful. I personally had three rifles repaired. Under normal circumstances this would have been a disaster. (Thank you Steve and Crazy Cromags very much....) The raffle and event give aways were another great touch... Those were outstanding prizes.

Now to the game:

I played on Team Mad and Pagan was our CO. I think we started slow. We were the last team to walk out on the field and Pagan (in my opinion) wasn't given enough time to get squads organized. Mad was also hampered by the fact that most of the team didn't have working comms. We had little radio communications as a team and it cost us points. By contrast, almost everyone on the Contractors team had radios.

Despite this, Pagan adapted quickly and got us rolling, especially in the second half. He let us squad up, told us where to go, and got the reinforcements where we needed them. Good job Pagan.... Mad kicked ass, and we rolled over the objectives. As a team, we had good firepower and balance. We needed it. Dealing with the Contractors was, well, lets just call it an experience. One minute they are attacking a position with us, the next, I getting tagged in the ass by them. You guys have a great future as protection for some "Banana Republic" or some other Third World dictator. Contractors, you gave, "I am right behind you" a new meaning. Good job....... Piper, I can really feel for you. I promise I will light Spaz & company up for you at the Airhouse (I have nothing else to say). Better yet, come on down with us & I will assist you as you light him up....

Before I forget:

There was a young man on Mad wearing shorts and a white shirt. Don't know your call sign. Just want to say you were a hell of a medic. You have balls and brains. Big time props.... You kept a few assaults rolling.... Thanks.

I would also like to mention the team members that executed the text book withdrawl when we were done assaulting the Contractors respawn after lunch. That was excellent teamwork, especially under fire.

Thanks to Trae, Lars, Gimpalong, Spade, Trigginometry, and Kargoth. My sons and I enjoyed rolling with you and your buddies. I had good moments with each of you. Spade, also great medic work. I love working with you. Seriously, if you guys can make it to Breedland, we could really raise some hell.

Finally, Tino & Munster:

Thank you for organizing the event. It was obvious you put the time and effort into it. You made Michigan airsoft history. More than that, approx. 300 person from refs, players, and hopefully vendors had a good time, the chance to meet new people, and great memories.

I know it sounds cliche, but everyone there was a winner.

One Shot One Miss

I agree with every one, it was the BEST game I've ever been to. I would love to go to another game like this. I'm speaking for me and the two spectators that came with me.
Awesome game!
