RG15 AAR

[smokingpancake 25]

Alrighty AMS and fellow players, here's a short rundown of my experience this past weekend; I'm not really a fan of writing long breakdowns of how each engagement went, so I'll make it brief.

 

To AMS,

 

Pros: Awesome AO, thank you guys so much for working to get us onto Fort Hood; from talking with Alex and JP, it sounded like a monumental amount of work and last minute frustrating changes to pull this one off. Despite the weather, I still had a great time. Props to y'all, I really appreciate it!

 

 

 

Cons:  

During the safety brief, a big deal was made about making sure to wear the registration and safety brief bracelets. However, neither myself, nor the 10 guys in my group were ever checked for these on the field. Enforcing having these on your person on the field would help cut down on the dudes skipping safety brief and not knowing basic rules (as I mention below).

 

 

To the AMS player base (both sides),

Know your damn rules! I chewed out a fellow tan dude for telling other players it was okay to shoot through murder holes. He said he hadn't gone to the safety briefing, thus he didn't know they were off limits. I also had to correct a green guy for yelling at 3 tan players who were within 15 feet of a grenade det outside, but didn't get hit by bbs (I was dead 20 feet away and watching closely). He also had not attended the safety brief.

Another instance occurred where bleeding out green players were getting heated and caused a scene because they were getting shot while a green medic worked among them. Apparently they didn't get the memo about moving out of the line of fire, which was mentioned several times during the brief, and is common knowledge.

 

And finally, there were multiple accounts of CDF (or whatever the black top faction was called this event) shrugging point blank hits from the back and hosing dudes with a SAW within 30 feet. I saw this twice in person, as well as generally bad sportsmanship from several of them (blatant overshooting of dead players with red rags out and held high, for example). Maybe this behavior is part of their "special rules" clause they're allowed. I'm not a fan, and would like to know what they can and can't do so there isn't a misunderstanding.

 

I don't want this to come off as bashing AMS for a bad event, because it was pretty good.

The cons section is longer because I feel like sportsmanship at this event has dropped significantly from previous ones. Let's do better, guys. The game is as good as you want to make it, and it takes stand-up players on both sides to make a successful event.

Entering the OP we were greeted by a sign stating DANGER Live Artillary Overhead, Proceed at own risk. After entering the facility a convoy of Abrams, Apache, Humvee, and other support vehicles were passed on our way to the AO. With the windows cracked the ring of gunfire and mechanical sounds of military equipment flooded the silence of the plains surrounding it all.

 

Check in was smooth and painless as always, had the rifles chrono’d and on to the safety briefing. Walking into the Eligiah Mout and standing down the streets of a worn torn city block it was evident regardless of the weather this would be good. Briefing went fast and we were allowed to walk the streets of what appeared to be the remains of a WW2 city. Half Buildings and remains open to the elemtents. Tight neat corridors open to city streets, and at opposing sides two gas stations that would serve as the FOB.

 

This facility played well allowing you to attack head on through the streets, disappearing in and out of buildings with multiple angle of engagements possible. Sneaking into the woods gaining ground to flank your enemy from behind while your remaining team pushed forward. High perches offering over watch platforms and the shadows to fall back into for those well placed shots from above.

 

Actual play was awesome with both sides pushing forward to be pushed right back. UFS command was excellent and kept us on our toes and getting us into the action. Top’s Mortar gave us an element to destroy from afar while units gained the ground they could. CDF was constantly roaming and in their mostly all black garb like ninjas attacking when they did. The screams from Kaid while Delbs destroyed him from every angle chanting F* you Kaid. PSA played great but it was our pleasure to snag your flag and deliver it to command for ceremonial photos of it hanging in the Crappers.

 

UFS War Machine for the win, but Kaiju you brought the fight and in that thanks to all who played UFS and PSA for a great weekend.

 

Pros

 

AO was sick and hope everyone had an opportunity to play all of it. Lot of ground to cover but something for everyone.

AMS staff ran smoothly and even with setbacks because of location at Ft. Hood well organized.

Good sportsmanship amongst most and as always it’s a game. Die, Repeat, and have fun

 

Cons

Weather sucked but Mother Nature is cruel

People complaining about not knowing rules…. ATTEND the safety briefing and ask questions. That’s the time for it not balls deep on the field causing frustration.

WEAR your team colors, Headwear most MATCH, Outerwear most Match. I get it was called but come prepared. The Gray jackets also need to go they don’t fit either faction and with both sides wearing them made it hard in low light to make out faction.

 

AMS staff as always the event was great and thanks for the many hours you put in to make this fun for us. To the Marines that sponsored this event I thank you for your service and for the assistance in obtaining the facility. To all the players thanks for sharing the memories and as always keep slinging BBs. To the person whom was injured and left the game speedy recovery.

Lol. Yooooo. Delbs got the upper hand once. ONE TIME. Ok. Maybe twice during the majority of the event.

 

And then at the end maybe 3,4,5,6,and 7 times while we "defending" the mosque What can I say. Dude is a ninja himself. Always a pleasure.

Kaid, thanks for the compliment and my AAR is about to drop here around 9pm tonight! It's a really good read and I dedicated a nice section to you! This weekend was tons of fun playing against you and Yuk!

[jdelbs18 97]

Okay, here it is! It's a long read but totally worth it!

The real world injury was a guy in my squad. He lost balance coming out of a building and ended up dislocation his elbow with a radial fracture.

Has to have surgery next week. He is in good spirits but bummed of course.

Sincere hopes for a quick recovery.

Hey Yankee, Please extend our prayers and thoughts of fast full recovery!
