Operation Island Thunder

[trustkill]

I had a blast today! My only true gripe was the time frame around lunch that seemed to take way too long to get the ball rolling again, but what can you do?

[cqbr]

We're glad you gents enjoyed yourselves today.

First off, I've got a black shrinkwrapped battery here. If you can ID the voltage or connector type, shoot me a PM and we can arrange to get it back to you.

As an overall summary, the Government forces were cleary the victors in this one gents. (Sowwee U.S./Rebels) As admins, we seemed to notice that the Government team did a much better job of maintaining squad structure by sticking and operating together, while organization on the Rebels seemed to linger throughout the day. In the end it just seemed that the Government forces wanted to crush your rebel opposition as well..Haha. I tip my hat to thee, Government forces.

I also saw a few more players on the Government team that took it upon themselves to print out all the necessary player maps which seemed to be quite scarce on the Rebel team. (Unless you were just hidin' em' from me )

Either way, if you have any criticisms be they good or bad, post up and let us know.

Here's a few pics I took while walking around. I'll work on the video hopefully soon-ish.

SUCH A GOOD FIRST GAME. I feel my first true large scale airsoft game was awesome and a huge success. Had a blast and cannot wait to do it again. Thanks again to Fugazi for getting me into this and for Pagan who let me borrow some gear. Met some awesome people and had a great time. No complaints from this guy.

Loved the game today, just freakin awsome out there. Glad it didn't rain all day, that helped. Got some great shoots in with the SR. Only complaint was I ran out of bbs to quick. I will definitely be comming back for the next Milsim or any game there. Atmosphere of players were great I found. Thanks to PT for hosting the game and Special Thanks to "Guy who pulled my friends car out the ditch" and "Gal that had the tow cable" Girl, you was rockin it with that M6!

GREAT DAY BY EVERYONE! Thanks!

I got a few pics in too.

Came after the game was done, but me and Devil had a blast playing some 2 on 2!

I'd like to thank everyone that came out today, and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

As US Commander, I feel partly responsible that the US/Rebels didn't put on a better showing, but from what I did see and hear over comms, some of you were really getting out there and kicking ass, so don't feel too down on yourselves. I think both teams played very well overall, with only one or two minor issues, but those things happen from time to time.

I really enjoyed meeting all the guys that I did on the tan team, my only regret is that I didn't get to see more faces from green, but odds are that would have meant I had been captured and that just wasn't going to happen. ;D

Again, great job by everyone, I'm glad everyone that's commented so far had a good time, and we look forward to doing more of these games in the future. Next time hopefully I can move around a bit more among all the players and get some pictures, I only managed to snap a few in the second half.

First off, thanks for having us.

Great playing with everyone and it was a great day for the game. The game wasn't really a milsim but it was pretty fun.

Hellfish- always a pleasure rolling with you guys. Looking forward to next time.

ODA, thanks again for having us!

Had a great time today. The morning was a blast. No hit calling problems at all.

Thanks to the ODA guys for hosting the event. The medic system was very quick. The objectives were clear. Comms were awesome. The Pyro was a nice touch.

Thanks goes out to Jay and the PT guys for the field. Props to the Suicide Kings for the Hawaiian shirts and cigars. Special thanks goes out to the Selfridge boys for the A10 fly by's. Even though not planned for the game. I thought it was cool.

Vampyre. I was the one who blasted you in the tower. I did not know you were there until I heard you cycling your blaster.

Overall great game, and your welcome to the guy that I pulled his car out of the ditch.

Id like to thank everyone who came out, I couldn't ask for a better group of players.

The prelunch was dedicated more towards MILSIM. After the lunch break I could see players getting quite tired and logy, so we switch it up a bit.

It was great seeing all the old faces and meeting some new ones.

My only true complaint was I couldn't pick up a blaster and send some rounds twards the Hellfish (you boys were kicking ass all day)

[Sidewall]

To quote a certain movie hamster "That was awesommmmmme!".
I had a great time all day. It was nice to finally put some faces to the names here on the forum. Thanks to all the ODA guys for putting in a great OP. Hope that there will be more milsim/scenerio games out at that field. As always, Black Talon it was sweet rolling with you fellers.

[Crux]

I thought it was really awesome. This was my first milsim and my first organized airsoft game. The day didn't start off to well for me but i had a blast the entire game. Thanks again to everyone who helped me get my car out of the ditch, and sorry I couldn't get on the forums earlier to say that.

[King]

Had an awesome time. Mortars and objectives were great. Would have liked to have stuck to the story line after lunch, but it was still a good time. The medic system worked great and the game was extremely well run and tidy for having only 3 moderators. Excellent Job guys.

[oldmanjay]

Thats what you get when it's 18 and over.

I to had fun, glad I finally got to play on my own field. JD and the guys did a great job. Props made the game that much better.

[Fugazi]

I know this is kinda late, but do we have videos? A buddy asked about the game and there's no better way to show him.

[Thor]

I thought JD took some video, perhaps he's not had time to edit it yet?
