I've played in both Shatnerballs and I'm tired of seeing those hacks win. Yes, I'm talking about Bill and Mancow. No theatrics, no prisoners, everyone gets smoked. Honor is on the line. Not to give them credit... but from what I saw last year at EMR, elements of Shatner's team, possibly COL Hunt or even Pac man, were well organized. I not going to give the other two any credit. This year, I'm lean, mean, hung up my Tippy and have a smokn' new RT Pro Warp with a RogueRail and several rounds with 'Cow's name on them.
It would be ideal to form a large platoon sized unit from about four to five 6 man teams that work in concert. All with radios, supporting each other's movement and taking direction from Tom. Some could do sole recon or even direct action against Shatner's command; others go after point opportunities with the rest of the teams helping them. Tom, ...it behooves you to organize and leverage all of the resources you have; i.e. your loyal AOers. We have the rollcall list, let's start using it and breaking down into teams and establishing our chain of command with an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).
Regardless, are there any AOers in the Chicagoland area that have or going to sign up on Tom's team up for some practice or training? We already have a team of about 6 experienced, former military, players (AKA... The Primitive Screwheads) that play Scenarios in the area regularly. If you're interested we could meet up at the below games. Tom, you're welcome to join us. If anybody is interested, email me at [email protected]
Oklahoma D-Day (Germans, 21st Panzer) - The Bunker (OK) - June 6th to 13th
Project Blue Book - Paintball Sam's (WI) - June 19
Old Chicago - CPX (IL) - June 26
Balls to the Wall - Blastcamp (IN) - July 18
Tournament ball is a different world from Scenario. If you don't know anything about... patrolling; wedge formations; movement to contact; essentials of fire and movement; proper employment of fire teams; withdrawal under fire; rallying and regrouping; hasty fighting positions; fields and sectors of fire; light, noise and litter discipline; ambushes; sniper actions; effective use of paint and smoke grenades; DA missions... then you need to train with us. I'm not saying you don't do any of this during tournaments, it's just a little bit different in the field. Do yourself a favor and search for small unit tactics or the Ranger Handbook out on the Internet. If anything, I highly recommend you play the Old Chicago game at CPX to familiarize yourself with the field. It has several areas that are choke points and others that afford undetected movement.
Bottom line - Tom, our team wants in on the action!
AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!
