The game was scheduled for Sunday, 29 August. The SGS clan servers were up but nobody was able to log into them. Due to all the chaos on Sunday evening we had a practise session on the GRRR server. Which was pretty good as it turned out. We’ll definitely have sessions like that again in the future. The game had to be postponed to Monday. During Monday the game was again postponed to Tuesday night @ 20:30. This was a bit frustrating as we had to omit a core player from the infantry squad, Bushweasel, as he was unavailable for that night. Psychosis filled his position.
This map is quite balanced in that the Russian side can get to Flag A first, but it takes them longer to get to Flag C. Whereas the US side can get to Flag C first, but will take a bit longer to get to Flag A.
The first round we played as the Russian side. The armour squad got to Flag A before SLS did. There was a brief skirmish with some troops who had arrived on a quad, and then we were free to take on the APC. Which obviously didn’t last. We then got settled in at A and remained there for the rest of the round. Fighting them off in waves.
The infantry squad capped B Flag and then faught over Flag C. They were forced to move between flags due to the advantage that the US side have on that side.
Inbetween rounds the server died and came up again without a password, but we didn’t care and just carried on.
The second round was the opposite of the first round. With the Infantry squad having the advantage, and the armour squad having a bit more of a struggle at Flag A. We lost the initial fight on Flag A and were kept busy there for the remainder of the round. They used AT mines, which actually worked more against them than it did for them.
All in all we were too well organised on the night. The practise sessions that we had, left us in good stead to deal with most teams that we could come up against on that map. Well organised squad work, and a good understanding of the map secured us the win on the night.
Thanks to all involved
