Well I figured I would share one of the stories from the game we ran last weekend. Understand while reading this we had prepped for this and we're ready let alone safe. Also explosives are illegal in Michigan(most including firecrackers) anyways onto the story.
We had 5 players since a large portion had backed out the night before and some people we plain could not seem to find(come to find out passed out from the night before) so we decided to do an attack defend rather than the scenario I had planned(dammit). None the less the teams were me, and Doug against my brother, amber, and Jon(destruckto). We were defending an area near our poll building with several cars(12ish), so as we planned out defense we came up with an idea;) Doug had a couple packs of 100 firecrackers(they seriously didn't exist:)), so we grabbed a couple metal trash cans and brought them over behind the cars where we were defending. As they attacked I took down my brother and several seconds later took a headshot from Destruckto through a Jeep door(open) and called out, leaving Doug against amber, and Jon. Doug not certain where Amber was he opted to fall back where we had planned in the start. When he did he lit a pack of firecrackers, waited for them to go off and bailed. I have to say it was funnier than hell, the two people who were advancing hit the deck yelling various things like "what the hell" and ducking:) The one thing I forgot to mention is that Doug is a gun dealer, who this was his first time playing with all of us, I've known him for years but I'm sure for a second the people on the other side were wondering what the hell he was shooting back with:) In the end Doug got Jon out, then the sneakiness of Amber prevailed and she got a blind shot on him as he tried to discover where she was hidden. None the less it was an entertaining game, and the addition of the firecrackers(in a controlled environment) was very funny. Near the end I lit another pack in another garbage can for atmosphere as the game was coming to a close. It did add some interesting sound to the normal boring sewing machine gone bad we're all used to.
I wanted to add though, be aware this is not something that is safe enough I would suggest anyone else do it. I didn't tell you to do it, I'm not responsible for you hurting yourself or others. The plain and simple fact is that we all understand the risks we're taking and it was as safe as it could have been.
