I cannot wait to get back to it, got some new kit for this game, nothing exciting though, but Viper brought out some new tactical gloves which I am looking forward to using and would recommend, they are basically the only ones they do that do not have padding all over them but they are supposedly a tactical glove.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

that was me for a few hours, imagine what I would have left behind had I been there the entire exercise lol

Cheers again!

OK this is the Battle Picture for to-morrow's operations

The THEME is Marines -vs- Mercenaries and pirates. I don't mean Pirates of the Caribbean, so no Cap'n Jack Sparrow look-alikes, please - read on!

Sunday's Op will take place in and around the village of Killymurphy, in the Kingdom of Islandmagee. The Kingdom has a long sea-faring tradition and has always had a reputation for piracy. It's rumoured the government makes a tidy sum in backhanders from the modern-day pirates who prey on shipping, operating from the many bays and coves along the Irish Sea coastline.

On the other side of Larne Lough lies the People's Republic of Antrim. Their trade has suffered from pirate attacks but so far they've not gone further than sanctions and sometimes closing the boder.

On Sunday, the People Republic is expecting to receive a secret shipment of Investment Bonds and diamonds, from a disguised courier who's on a trawler coming up the Irish Sea from Bristol, on its way to dock secretly in Portrush. But informers in the Kingdom report that pirates plan to seize the vessel as it passes near Killymurphy. They also report the pirates have brought in some mercenaries to cover their overland escape route with some extra firepower, and deal with anyone who gets in the way.

It's too late to divert the trawler; the People's Republic can only hope the Special Forces team on board will prevent the heist. In case that goes t*ts up, a team of Marine Commandos from the People's Republic has been infiltrated by road over the border into Killymurphy. Their mission - to close the back door and deal with the mercenaries and the pirate leaders ashore.

The scene is set for a desperate clash; the fate of nations may hang on the outcome!

very topical, I love it, the marines have to win hands down

depends what marines though

I thought you guys only won the first match because the SF base was not taken in the second hehehehe, bloody pirates lol

meeeeeeeooooooow

Well done both teams. I unwisely changed the regen rules for the defenders, first game, at the last minute. Original intention was for one life in each position, the way we played the second one, to ensure it would not get bogged down. Result - first game got bogged down, tho the defenders didn't complain Good game anyway and very well defended anyway, high point for me was when we finally managed to ford the stream and gain a bridgehead, only to be wiped out by a well-executed counterattack from two directions! Well done all concerned!
