Any player who is shot out must return to a specific location at his own teams end. If at this location, when a whistle blows, the player may rejoin the game. The whistle is only blown at the 10 and 20 minute marks. Each team, plays each other once in a league. |
First Game: TMF (pillbox) versus BUSHPIGS (Bear B) The Whistle blew: TMF planned to dig in for the first 20 minutes, assessing the game. If a chance appeared, they would go for it. Chopper went to the gorse bush, Dodger covered the ditch treeline and open field. Stinger was near the pillbox and Striker was nearby. As soon as Chopper got to his position in the gorse; he saw Lonepig move up the East treeline. Apoc and Android moved up the right side of the trench. Faceman was backing up Apoc, in the central ditch. |
Chopper then opened up on LonePig, giving his position away, then FACEMAN pushed up, and let the BUSHPIG go wild, bbs sprayed everywhere. Android moved up and started to take rounds from Striker on the west flank, eventually being hit. Faceman withdrew to a fall back position, still in range of the gorse bushes. Chopper managed to keep LonePig pinned on the flank. While exchanging rounds with FACEMAN, for around 14 minutes. Apoc had moved along the ridge in front of the pillbox and fired at Chopper from 30m away. "HIT!" LonePig dashed up the now open flank and began to skirmish from around the gorse, picking off Stinger. Then Striker moved in from the far flank towards the bunker, but APOC opened up on full auto, eventually hitting Striker as he ran. Leaving Dodger defending the flag, alone. After 19 minutes, APOC crawled up to bunker and snatched the flag. Then he sprinted off downhill, towards his own bunker. Once there, the whistle blew (all players rejoined the game). TMF regrouped, as most of the BUSHPIGS had retreated with the flag. But LonePig remained to cause chaos. He got into the pillbox and opened fire on the opponents. |
