The morning started with check in, waivers, and the chrono station. After a Safety Briefing, teams were divided and sent to individual staging areas. After each team was briefed on their mission specifics, the first scenario, Operation Pipeline, started. This one featured The B.R.A.S.S. Raptor Squad, with a few additions, along with the TFB guys against the B.R.A.S.S. XRay squad, plus a few additions.
Raptor held the Pipeline while TFB patrolled the wooded areas. XRay soon ran smack into the TFB contigency. For CQB players, with all but one being in their first outdoor game, they did extremely well! TFB used elevated positions, SAW firepower, and good tactical teamwork to completely shut down the entire left side of the field. The XRay squad had to shift to the right side to punch through, plant the bomb and win the scenario. The end saw Itsahak sprinting up the Pipeline with the bomb, waiting for SGT T to spray him down with plastic death. Literally two steps before SGT T had a the shot, someone from the XRay group nailed him! And to date, no one is really sure who! That player saved that day though!
There was a break between scenarios while the second scenario was set up, and lunch was grilled. The break lasted longer than was planned, as did the scenario set up. However, in due time the Meltdown scenario began.
This one featured TFB, Itsahak, Samson, Berkelsk and Bishop against the others. Their objective was to hold the base and its two missiles from capture. Hak and Samson moved over to the right side to scout and ran smack into the entirety of the enemy. led by SGT T and Skibum! With Brazzle backing them up, they laid some good smack down before fading back to keep from being over run, and in an attempt to lure the OpFor in. The OpFor, being smarter than that moved out to the left, leaving the others to wonder where they went. Soon, Skibum led the group completely around the field and initiated an attack from the base rear. This gave them superior positioning from an elevated position. The TFB and friends contingency held the base well, the presence of the SAW gunner (Mr7Q) was definitely felt here. Though Hak and Samson had to move across the field while trying to do an end around and get behind Skibum and his group, they met with no success. Hak ended up going to the respawn while Samson was left in unfamiliar territory on his own. After a long, furious battle that saw both sides taking casualties, and ammo supplies running low, the TFB group grabbed the missiles and ran for an extraction, ending the scenario.
All teams converged back at the staging area for the raffle and debriefing. Though some things did not go as planned, this was a good, solid event. A huge thanks to all those that attended! B.R.A.S.S. looks forward to hosting the next one!!
