I thought I should make a new one, so it's easier to find/read it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, let's get this started. I was very excited for this game. I had figured out that I could wear 1 tight shirt, then a normal shirt over that, and then my bdu shirt. I also wore a pair of paints under my bdu pants. It worked very well, and I only felt the cold on my bare hands.
-------------------------------------------------------------
On arrival, I was relatively confused by the layout. There was no one outside in the prep area, and the large door to the shed was closed. It looked very different. I was planning on being a camera-man, so I had very little gear to haul. I had an echo 1 m4 cqb with an m203 with me for jedi as well. I kept the m203, though. I might want that later.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I said my hellos to Judy and Jason. They were very glad to see me, which is good. They didn't hide behind the counter and pretend to be gone. That was good. I hung around for a while, took a look at two of those POS jls scars, yadda yadda. When the AASA members started showing up, I have to admit I was a bit intimidated. I'm very antisocial and there were a lot of strangers there. I got over that pretty quickly though. It was also a moral boost to catch a few admiring looks at my m4+m203 combo. I met Alex and his friend, and also caught up with Ryan, Hans, and Nick.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Once we started getting the guns together, it was pretty much a stampede. The atmosphere was very energetic, although I may be overstating it. Sgt. Schultz (sp?) let me help set up some of the guns, which was actually either difficult or really easy. I had to have Vedi help me out getting the battery in an S-System. I hung around inside for a while, helping AASA's with their guns here and there, and occasionally stepping outside to take a few pictures. I'd like to note that I took more pics of WOLF members. No offense, but they're way cooler :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
After what seemed like a rather long time, we finally got started. I hung back, because people left at different times. I eventually left with Ryan, his awesome German Beat Boxing teammate, and two AASA's. Or at least I think they were. It had been a while, so while we were back at the safe zone, everyone had been turned to one team. We had NO IDEA. The group at first encountered to resistance, but they saw a group of four to six tangos up the hill. They took cover in the pit and laid down some fire. The group seemed to have retreated, so the four man team advanced. About halfway up the hill, they started taking fire. They took cover behind some trees, or no cover at all, and returned fire. They were doing pretty well at first, but then the rest of the 20 players showed up. They fought them off as well as they could, but they were no match.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I just realized this is going to be really long. I'll wrap it up in a paragraph or two. Or three...
-------------------------------------------------------------
After that, everyone headed back. They rested a while and then started another battle. This was capture the cqb house. Or something like that. I got some pretty nice pictures during this battle, but not a one of the people inside the house. The camera just doesn't work in low light settings. This was really a stalemate, as both teams had infinite respawns. I think...anyways, that ended. They had a few more matches and everyone left.
-------------------------------------------------------------
On a more (if possible) personal note, I bought a sweet multicam plate carrier, a kwa usp, and a cool but trippy acog. Also, I decked out Jedi's m4 mid-day with the acog, m203 and a socom silencer. It was AWESOME. Anyways, I'm going to upload a few pics, just as a "sampler" I took about 130 pictures that day, but I don't have a good way to get them to Jason and Judy so they can put them on the ABZ site yet.
I had a great time, and I'd like to thank everyone for making it a really fun day. Even if I'm not hosting the event ^^
