Date: Friday,
December 19th, 2001
Location: Clayton, NC
Attendance: 6 people (3 vs 3)
Type of Battle: Team Soakfest
It was a Wednesday in mid December, the 19th I think. Yet,
this was not your standard cool late autum/early winter day in Clayton
North Carolina. It was the day o the final waterwar of the
year. Six Red Scorpion members came, well seven but Tiger offered
to take the pictures (thats how we got the charge picture because he
was nutral or else they'd have shot him). Other then that various
other people (which you'll see in the pictures) came and formed their
own Vermin Team.
At 16:00 we engaged in the initial plan. Seperating into two
groups of 3 we headed down two paths that parallelled eachother with a
good space of about 300 meters in between through the woods. The
enemy was dug in on the opposite side of the creek and were not
moving. Now, the creek is only about two meters wide and one
deep, but the banks are very steep, and there is much foliage on each
side. Yet, it being December there was alot less areas to hide.

Squad A under me went down the left flank on the main path
to the creek, while Squad B under Hellbringer took a side path down a
hill from Fort Salamandastron along the right flank. Patriot had
not brung his CPS 2500, so aquired Buccaneer (who wasn't here)'s CPS
1000 for the events (if you look close enough it still has the black
duct tape from Dominator War 2). My squad crossed an ungaurded
ford along the creek before the enemy could react and overpowered one
gaurd stationed nearby.
While that was happening Squad B rushed down the path with
warcries and started a waterfight across each side of the creek.
Squad B was holding the enemy in position while we plowed down their
flanks taking out two enemy units. Yet, we met a stubborn
resistance when we encountered a natural makeshift bunker which
contained an artilleryman baraging us with CPS fire.
We were forced into hiding because we couldnt knock out the
bunker. Big Mike got shot by the guy and had to sit out and
watch. This left us with a man less, but still with the same
number as the enemy. Pinned down in the drab grey/brown brush of
winter we struggled to fire back against the enemy's constant shots.
Patriot took off, leaving Hellbringer and Black Hawk in a fight to the
death with the enemy across the creek. Coming across the ford to
meet us Patriot dropped down into the brush avoiding a shot from a CPS
1200. Now we made a plan, we would jump up and fire covering
Patriot while he ran to the bunker and knocked it out with his CPS
1000. On the count of three signalling, 1, 2, 3!
Psycho and I popped up giving a good fuesalaide from our assault rifles
into the bunker. Just at that time Patriot took off to the left
behind the enemy, rolling over behind a log he crawled towards the back
end of their base. At the given signal Psycho and I charged
forward without any waterballoons to hit the enemy from long range, but
we fired towards them. Before reaching the next set of cover
Psycho was gunned down by the guy with the 1200. At that very
moment Patriot was lining up the sites on Buccaneer's modded CPS 1000
for sniping he picked out the guy in the bunker, it wasn't really
artillery, but a modded CPS 1200 that was raining death on our
squad. Taking careful aim down the handel he pulled the trigger,
whoosh splat! That was it, he was out. Without further ado
we charged over the bunker (see picture"attacking through the
woods". It was easy knocking out the two guys left in the fight
against Squad B as they didnt know we had come from behind.
With that settled one guy was left in a trench with his XP 270.
He dropped his gun and cried out that he wasn't playing anymore raising
his hands. Now, one thing in the code of honor (modded from the
original GNG version) states deserters will be treated the same as
traitors, and we respect one who fights against the odds rather
then quits. So with that we took his XP 270, but pushed him
back into the ditch (see picture "executing Vermin"). The picture
explains the rest...
The war was fun, it was also the only war I used Kryptonite in; now
that I have the pictures scanned I can upload this war story.
