GARRETT wrote:Wow what a game. Several months ago when this game entered into my mind, I would not have fathomed such an awesome turnout. Props to GA and SC for bringing it hard, and for some of the best fighting I have been a part of. To many epic moments and great firefights to mention any one is particular, as so with the teams and individual players I had the honor of running with. Mad props to my boys AIRCROSS.
I started the game as leader of 3rd platoon along the creekline, that's why you peacheaters couldn't advance.....lol . I am very proud of the teamwork by 3rd for the first 4 hours of the game as not one time did we get pushed back even an inch along the western border. That changed around 4ish as GA plowed down the road from center of the field, and from the north with a tank and infantry striking a hard blow to Lincoln's Hold. I personally was blown away here cause I thought SC was still in control of both locations. Shortly after that I find out that our tank was down due to a crazy rogue driver. Something had to be done so I went back found us a new driver. Things got funny here.... As we entered the field of play we came head to head with a GA tank right at I-8. Somehow he missed us with his AT and started chasing us across the field....lol. At the time we had 3 AT guys in the back, and no one could get a shot off as we were driving. So we took off toward Camp Wounded in hopes of gaining enough time for our guys to get out and set up. That's when this happened..

The rest of the evening game we spent in GA HQ dreading the Bronco that we knew would get there eventually...
I have seen a lot of guys complaining about the safety kills. This is a problem at every game I have been to. If a guy gets shot in the back, he cries why didn't you just safety me. If you safety him, he says no way and shoots you instead. It happens. But respect to the 3 GA players who I safety killed in J-9 somewhere around 3am for being champs about it. Myself and 2 other SC gents thought we would try to raid the J-9 base. I decided to take point on the approach and got popped just a few ft from the base. Pulled out a menthol and my glow stick and thought to myself this isn't gonna end nice. A few min later I feel Sacarus grab my foot for the medic, as the GA guys kept firing on Vemois. Very calmly I lowered my glow stick back into my pocket, walk around the GA players right into the back of the base and one at a time I call the safety kill. No problems, the guys took it like champs.
Hey Garrett! I was the one in the back of the Red and Blue truck carrying no guns (nothing) but your Big Bertha v3. That run off to hold the Georgia HQ was the most fun I had all day!
So what happened to me to get me there was, everyone was sitting around the SC HQ with not much to do, so we tried to rally some people into the deuce and a half to take back Lincolin's Hold, so I'm sitting in the deuce, when a guy with the Big Bertha v3 is getting in, he slides the rocket launcher into the deuce and starts to get in, when suddenly, a GA tank rolls in and he runs for it, leaving the Big Bertha behind! So I grabbed the rocket launcher and hopped out of the deuce ready to take out the tank, but it was already hit...
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/sad.gif)
So I figured, no worries, so I decided to hold on the Big Bertha until another tank rolled in, or someone else needed it.
Again in the SC HQ sitting around, when people start piling up into the technical, and start asking for an AT to come up with them, still carrying the Big Bertha, I run out of the place where I was resting with my team (accidentally leaving my G36C behind) and hop on the Technical.
So now, we're driving off in the technical off to camp wounded, (this part's been covered already), we get to camp wounded, I set up with the AT waiting around, when someone says "Hey! For the next half hour, only the HQs are getting scored till the end of the game!" So everyone starts leaving, and I asked someone (Garrett I think) if we can pile into the Technical and head back to HQ and Garrett says that we should head up and take the Georgia HQ, and boy, was I psyched for that! So we pile into the Technical and ship off to the GA HQ, and right outside the GA HQ is a large electrical tower, and there's a squad of Georgians standing around under it, and we roll by them, and even wave to them, and they waved back, no shots fired, but I'm pretty sure they had no idea why we would be in their HQ, so they figured it was admin business or something and ignored it. So we get to the GA HQ and completely and totally
EMPTY. There wasn't a SINGLE person guarding it, we could have SWORN it was a trap, but we wandered in and settled down, no one came out of the woods attacking, no tanks rolling in, no anything. So about 10 minutes passes, we're sitting in the GA base, Garrett and the other two (they had guns) sitting in the HQ base, and me in the technical, watching for tanks with my AT. When a dead Georgian comes walking down, uh oh, trouble. We tell him he can't spawn here, he nods, and walks away.
At this point, we know he's going to run to his team and tell them all that SC's in their HQ, and as Garrett said, we were just WAITING for the Bronco to roll down. I'm sitting in place with the AT completely ready to take down anything that would come our way, and Garrett and rest of the squad hiding in their HQ. At that moment, about ten minutes later, what'da know, the Bronco comes rolling down the hill, and the driver of the Technical just TAKES OFF driving with me in the back, we circle the Bronco once with no problems, and I take a shot at it, and unlucky me, it curves off SLIGHTLY to the right and just misses it, so the driver gets us away so I can reload since I had another rocket, I reload, we roll back, I take another shot, but apparently I hadn't pumped it up enough! At which point, the Technical and I have to retreat, since there's nothing we can do. Leaving Garrett and the rest of the team behind.
Anyways, story time over, Garrett, what happened after the Technical and I rolled off?
Oh, also, I had a great time at the game, no problems with not calling hits, but did have a few problems with people shooting WELL over their MEDs, while we were in the Technical (with Garrett) headed towards the GA base, we made a quick run by of Lincolin's Hold, and the Georgians there thought it'd be funny to shoot at us with their 400 fps AEGs on full auto, well, to say the least, we were stinging all over, and pretty pissed at them. There was also (Again, in the Technical, same story, from SC HQ going to Camp Wounded) while we were driving by the exit to our HQ someone LOBED AN EASTER EGG GRENADE INTO THE TECHNICAL. It landed in my lap without me knowing, and when it blew up, my ears were ringing, and I literally couldn't hear for about 5 seconds. Also from that same grenade, a piece of shrapnel (sharp plastic) from the easter egg shot off the nade and gave me a bad cut on the chin. But, other than those two experiences, I had an amazing time. Great fun.
