    love it
    so much for all the those US Marines with their "we were the dominating force and how they had the event won half way through the first day"

    makes the VICTORY even sweeter ha ha

    what a load of crap!!

    usmc/cdf held 3/4 of the village for the 24 hours and completed every task put to them.. ask any one in 1st platoon.. ran out of stuff for us to do..
    so straight forward we all got our heads down at 4am because the rest gave up.

    Completed every task except retrieve the gold.

    If you were in 1st platoon or better yet 1/3 we got the gold out of 15 and bought it all the way to 12. from 9pm to 2am not one chedaki made it upstairs in 15. After that for ****s/gigs they made us bring it to 6 and pick up more comm's while they (HQ) tryed to organise another ambush on us..obviously running out of ideas.. it was becoming a joke at this stage. No more troops allowed..no airstrikes/choppers.. while chedaki was given everything to fight back with.

    By the time all chedaki gave up on building 6.. walking off in disgust/throwing there weapons on the ground after they were wiped out.. gold was handed back to hq.. most off to bed for a few hours cause all the greens had given up.

    Now clearly the Tigers (u know who you are and fair play to them) managed to crawl there way into hq early on in the morning looking for it (only ones with some balls...so our british counterparts told us) but wasnt pk there waiting for them.

    If thats the overall result then fair enough.. im not one to throw the toys out of the pram... but the stats are there plain to see.. kill for kill...objective for objective..asking both sides on the boat home most had already given it to the cdf/usmc

    Can't speak as to the rest but that just ain't true. Six of us Chedaki cleared every single house in the village - every single one - and they were ALL unoccupied. If we're guilty of chucking in the game when it got late then so's everyone.

    I don't know the higher-level picture regarding who had what objectives and what was completed and what wasn't, but it's worth bearing in mind that the Chedaki were, as far as I've heard, outnumbered by around 30 players, to all intents and purposes a full platoon.

    The end result story that I was hearing was that our building with the gold had been bombed by fast movers and the gold grabbed by Dessies immediately thereafter, which was why I thought the Dessies had won. Stories like that were going around, I wouldn't put too much stock in boat talk.

    Finally, two points to make regarding the milsim-lite as opposed to skirmish nature of the game. One, in war you can complete every objective and still lose, and the story-based nature of this game can reflect that. If you're happy you personally kicked every ass with green trousers on it that you met, then that's all that's important. Two, just because you're not being frontally assaulted doesn't mean we're not out there. :)

    Sorry mate didn't mean to imply the marines were muck by not getting the gold. I was in 1-3 and personally I think the marines were excellent. What I meant was that we were never tasked with retrieving the gold. At least 1-3 wasn't. We stuck with our orders as best we could and went where told, held whatever building we were told and attacked where told.

    im sorry but i think people have completely missed the point hear, the result are as much a result of the story than anything else, there is not points system there is no score board, this is a multi part story driven event

    if people want a call of duty or modern warfare style scoring system with clearly defined winners and loser then go and find another event

    the fortunes of both sides went up and down thought out the day, the events staff used controlling of air strikes and events to help both sides because the point is to make 24 hour constant action, if you think it is anything else then you need to open your eyes

    this is not capture the flag, this is not about win loss, this is not a 'sport' you can not boil it down to a clear defined 2-1 result this is about the experience, and if you want anything else then you maybe need to reconsider why your turning up

    YOu can kill more of the enemy, but if they achieve more important, strategic objectives than you .... they'll win, not you. You remember that thing called a storyline? Yeah. But do you know what? So? F*cking? What? You had a fantastic weekend experience and suddenly it's all crap because you didn't "win"? An expression of Woods and trees springs to mind.

    There is indeed time for revenge in September!

    Pudding: I could not have said it better myself, thanks mate.

    Feedback from the survey is rolling in thick and fast and some very good points are being made.

    Approximately 25% of the participants have responded so far, with a pretty much equal spread from all factions. 25% may not sound alot but it quite a good response as far as surveys are concerned. But there is still time left if you have not completed the survey yet.

    Thanks for all those that have already completed the survey. :)

    As far as i remember the reason that you had no airstrikes is because we nuetralised your ability to call them in by completeing an objective. Again a Tiger team member was set a task to deliver a laptop into your the basement of your main building with you all in it "asleep" this in turn caused you not to have airstrikes all that night and following day.

    Have to say moggser is right on this one in my opinion its ancient history, what I would say regardless what side you were playing for, I think that ALL the Irish lads that travelled made a huge impact on the weekend and without everyones contribution sennybridge wouldn't have been half as good.

    there were great feats of bravery and exceptional playing on both sides

    there were really cringe worthy moments of play on both sides also

    but the most disappointing thing for me is to see the goodness and crack being forgotten from the weekend and a sourness starting to creep into the tread.

    come on lads who cares who won really it was a wicked weekend and here is to many more.
