A unit of terrorists have been sent out to place a timed bomb at the refinery to destroy a section of the pipeline to disrupt production and spike oil prices to the US. They must retrieve the bomb first from a bunker, then proceed to the refinery target. They have also been instructed to kill all American personnel including a Blackhawk Security Force that has been contracted to provide additional support to the Marines.

Scenario Completion: The scenario is complete either when time expires or when the terrorists complete all their objectives. Marines/ Blackhawk must defend the pipeline until time expires to win the scenario

The teams were Itsahak, Skibum, Chemdog and Eric as the terrorists, Stealth and Sgt T as the Marines, and Berkelsk and Ryan as the Blackhawk operatives. Chemdog lead the terrorist group up the side of the ridge towards the pipeline. Shortly before encountering the pipeline itself he spotted Stealth defending the pipeline. Skibum sent Itsahak and Eric to the right flank to draw attention. Soon, ‘Hak and Eric were engaged with Stealth and Sgt T.

Skibum and Chemdog were engaged with Berkelsk an Ryan on the other side, and after taking them out, began to engage Sgt. T at the pipeline. They were able to eliminate him, allowing ‘Hak and Eric to double team Stealth. During that time, Ryan had respawned and showed up to support Stealth. Suddenly, Ryan moved out behind Stealth, just about the time Stealth and Eric were both hit. ‘Hak moved up and shot Ryan between the trees only to find out that Ryan was having trouble with his AEG. ‘Hak was able to plant the bomb, called for the extract over the radio and then ran for his life as fast as his stubby legs could carry him! Unfortunately, he forgot they had to secure a hostage.

Thankfully Chemdog and Skibum remembered and zeroed in on Stealth. With Chem, Ski, and ‘Hak moving in on him, Stealth put up a valiant effort, actually taking out ‘Hak in a blazing rush forward. Soon, Eric respawned as did ‘Hak, and Stealth found himself facing all 4 terrorists. Shortly he was taken hostage, and as he was “wounded” ‘Hak threw him over a shoulder and took off for the extraction point. Stealth decided he’d had enough bouncing around and decided to walk, about the time the terrorists encountered the rest of Stealth’s group. They had all expended their respawns, so the game was called.

This was Chemdog’s first foray into scenario writing. He did a good job of keeping the game rules interesting and on point. B.R.A.S.S. looks forward to more good things in the future from his efforts!

Next a “Capture The Flag” game was played. The flag was placed in the bottom of the small valley just off of the staging area. Skibum, Chemdog, Berkelsk, and Ryan started off on the staging area side, and ‘Hak, Stealth and Eric began on the far side. Sgt T had already left for home, as his WIFCOM is due to give birth any day (Congrats to Sgt T!!!). This game lasted all of eight minutes with so much action it is impossible to recall it all. Suffice it to say that Skibum and Ryan set up on their top side and provided cover fire while Berkelsk and Chemdog maneuvered in to grab the flag and bring it back to their AO for the win. It was noticed after the game that almost every player had expended at least a high caps worth of bb’s! Not something B.R.A.S.S. does very often, but it was fun!

After this Skibum had to leave, as he was still feeling the effects of his bout with the flu from last week. Chemdog and ‘Hak decided to take on Stealth, Eric, Berkelsk, and Ryan. Chem and ‘Hak started out down the road and the others started at the staging area. The two man team soon found the larger group moving through the woods. They dropped flat to the road and watched as the foursome moved past. They briefly shadowed the larger group until they moved up toward the top of the ridge. Chem and ‘Hak moved out down the road toward the staging area. Half way to the berm, they heard Stealth and crew moving through the woods up front and to the right of them. They also heard Stealth’s allergy issues as he began to sneeze several times! Attempts to find and engage them were unsuccessful though. Chem and ‘Hak were all the way at the top of the ridge when Stealth began to talk “poo-poo” over the common radio channel. They moved back down the trail and finally encountered the 4 man assault crew on the main road. After several minutes of intense firefighting, that resulted in one of the larger group being eliminated completely, Chem was hit, and ‘Haks battery died. As the other three combatants were moving in, that was the game!

Overall it was a great day of games! B.R.A.S.S. is on the verge of becoming the main force for Southwest Virginia airsoft!
