Hooray for a pixpost! Chronologically: That blue water tower in the distance signals the location of thousands of square feet of CQB heaven. It is like a beacon that calls to those of stout heart and charged battery.  Once there, it's time to gear up. This was taken in the loading dock adjacent to Bay 3. It was very cold on Saturday. Shown here are the backs of most of GK.  Here some filthy Chechen rebel scum gear it up. Filthy though they may be, worthy opponents they certainly are.  The main scenario started off with a furious three-pronged assault from Russian troops and Spetsnatz forces. Assigned to Team Delta as a medic, the Team broke in to Bay 1 through an exterior door. Helena, TV, and Bigmack were cut down within a minute, perhaps blinded by the transition from snowy conditions outside to the dimly-lit interior. Moments later, observing their predicament from outside, Mooch and I resolved to revive Team Delta. With Mooch providing covering fire, I sprinted into the bay and behind a stack of boxes, safe from withering fire raining down from the top of the staircase. One by one, I healed most of the wounded (with, I believe, one instant death card drawn). As the rebels filtered down the stairs, Delta gave up a fight, halting the advance long enough for the other Teams to begin achieving objectives. Our luck did not hold for long, and soon, I was hit. Unable to heal myself or others, after five minutes, Helena, Mooch and I made the Walk of Shame© back to our respawn zone.  Much, much later, Russian forces were attempting to advance down the long hallway near the offices. For those of you who have not been able to play at ACO's facility, this hallway is simply murderous. Perhaps 100 meters long and 10 meters wide, it's a tactical nightmare. Stacks of boxes peppered along the length of the hallway provide cover, both for assaulters and defenders. Multiple entrances and exits along the ends and sides give opportunity for flanking manuevers and risky gambits. At this point, I had just presided over death of Firelotus, who (according to the medic card he drew) was hit in an artery in the leg. Despite my efforts, he bled out and headed back to respawn. Determined to at least hold the hallway, I rushed forward. Suddenly I heard a terrific clatter of arms fire from some undetermined direction up ahead and I was forced to cower under some scanty cover. To my right, an unidentified Russkie komrade dishes out some retribution.  Pinned down with nowhere to go, I attempted then to perform a little remote surveillance. I placed my digicam on the ground as far away from my cover as I could reach, and thumbed the shutter release. I was hoping to capture our assailant on "film" and view his location on the camera's tiny LCD screen. It was not a success, but gave this pretty interesting picture. (Lack of flash gives a very realistically lit, even overbright, photo. The previous picture was taken with flash, in order to freeze the action as well as allow a hend-held shot, but it gives a very bad rendition of the lighting conditions) That's all the [decent] photos I took, but the day was far from over. Enjoy this spectacularly bad and not-too exciting movie footage of people standing around after the game on a huge sheet of very slick ice (4.6 MB, XviD format). |

This event was great! Good job guys putting it all together. I really loved being part of the sniper groups up in the windows. The best part was when you guys(the Russians) were moving from jeep to jeep but couldn't make it and you all got nailed.....ahh the sweet smell of fresh kills. I will admit, there were some VERY close calls when it came to snipering up in those windows. You guys did a hell of a job keeping our heads down as well. I did get hit a couple times. But thats how the game is played. Calling all my hits. Hope to see some pics. from this. I saw people with cameras toward the end there during the last couple of small OP's.

Hehe. Thatsa me crouched at the corner.  After that pic was taken, Enkidu fell back from across the hall from me... presumably to the office where a couple of our teammates were slugging it out... I remained at the corner there for about 4-5 more minutes...i then moved up to a pile of crates on the same side of the wall... poked my head out, took fire... traded fire for a bit with the guys at the end of the hall (They were basically shooting through holes between stacked boxes) i brought up the MP5K, and darted across the hall as i let a full 50rnd mag down at them... reloaded...traded fire with them for a few more minutes from behind some stacked crates... Couple BB's slipped through a gap in the crate... nailed me.. brought out the rag-o-death... ACO member booked it down the hall to across from me... traded fire... Then two rebels came up the hall behind him and forced a surrender... (ACO man couldn't hear them coming due to the buzzers going off, and i couldn't say much... dead can't speak. ) I waited my five, then hiked it back to bay three... While Helena and the rest hiked back with their dead rags, i think i was the only member of the breach team left inside the bay... I crept alongside the boxes, moving twards the stairwell... I couldn't see the rebels at the top, but i could hear them moving and hear their AEG's firing off rounds... I slung the SR-16, drew the MP5, and started slowly creeping up the stairwell... When three rebels came down the opposite stairwell, flung some BB's at me, and scored a couple hits at me back. Good shooting...probly a 50 yard shot...and i didn't hear it til the BB's hit my back... |

Where to begin...  Had a helluva time, was a very, very well organized operation. All of the games kicked, not just the main scenario, although it was obviously the best. The level of sportsmanship was great, also... I was using DevilDog's MK23 Socom (Thanks DD! Sell it to me!) most of the day, and expected for people to not call their hits because it's so quiet... but, I never had that happen. That's my first thank you, which goes out to everyone that attended - Thanks for your good sportsmanship! Honestly, I typically don't like CQB... I don't feel that you can simulate the correct conditions, typically. That said, however, this round of games was.... intensly fun. Everything from the boobytraps, to using multiple entrances, vehicles, etc - worked great. It was great seeing those of you that I havent seen in a while, the people that made the day enjoyable. Jacko, thanks for being my big guy and protecting me when i was scured... Munin, thanks for... um... killing me. Must buy flak jacket. Redneck, thanks for the lighter ;p. Savage, It's always a pleasure talking with you, even if you were a filthy chechen. Trauby, Twitch, thanks for coming down, even if you were.... filthy... chechens.... Ryan, Bishop, Kung Fu, Wolfe, and the rest of ACO, thanks for hosting, and putting the time, trouble, and money into the building. The ammount of effort that you guys put into the place is astounding, especially when you guys arent even pulling a profit from it. Class act, there. And, lastly, Xaos, thanks for payin my way in.... I honestly hadn't even planned on making this op. That makes it all the sweeter. And for those of you that didnt get your name mentioned, you're all still great players, and great sportsmen - but i've gotta go to work and the boss will kill me if i'm late! |

Hey, as one of the "filthy chechans" I take offense to that remark....NOT!! We kicked butt!!!! Thanks to GK for providing all the targets we needed! By the way..who was that in the long hallway when the rooms were dark, that was the pointman who took fire from the black room to the left??? hmmm......gotta give us chechens some credit!!! I have nothing else to say When the age limits drop both my son and myself will be waiting to play again!! THANKS EVERYONE!!! -CP (a dirty chechen at heart) |

and then there was the knife fight between Gary(GK) and myself, he opened a bathroom door in bay 3 killed the guy infront of my with a knife kill judo chop and started to hack at me when i blocked it with my knife(hand) and finally slashed him across the chest, it was hiliarious one of those moments that i wish were on videotape. it musta looked like a girly cat fight the way we were flailing out hands towards one another. thanks Gary that made my day. and i wanted to apologize to the guys in the bathroom(GK) that i made drag my dead fat butt outta the doorway, just try'n to keep it real. Our knife fight was pretty frickin cool. Respawning and coming back to defile... um.. I mean move your corpse was enjoyable too. ;D |

I only saw one side of that knife fight. It was funny, but it looked really girly too.

I don't know if you meant that as criticism or not, but in case you did, let me ask this: How else do you simulate a knife fight without making serious contact with one another? I know guys like Munin and Kung Fu have advanced martial arts training, and I'd very much prefer that any "fight" I get into with one of them be "girly" instead of remarkably painful and brief.

I think wookie was joking. Besides, Hawkeye and I got into a "knife fight" at the open game a few weeks ago, and "advanced martial arts training" or no, that one probably looked pretty girly too.  |

Right - I was trying to say that if you used real moves, not girly slap-fighting moves, there'd be a high risk of some serious physical contact.
I don't envy my odds in a close-quarters slap fight, but the idea is funny as hell.

I was merely joking Zorak. We don't need any karate type attacks or anything of the like. I personally wouldn't like getting slammed to the concrete on my back.

I got slammed to the concrete on my back - but it's because I had an unfriendly encounter with a patch of ice in a dark room. Yowza! Fortunately, I get slammed to the ground so much in the dojo that I'm used to falling. I landed pretty well, with only a minor bump to one elbow. |

I too met the ice in a falling fashion, twice as a matter of fact. It didn't hurt much until the next day. Oh well, I'll take the fall over any day I'm roofing. ;D
