Since this was technically my first skirimsh anniversary (3rd March was the day which is a mid week this week) and based on something Nonex said to me in HRTA today, I thoguht I'd dig these out for the craic.





Group shot of everyone who played that day


I think this was also the first day the back field became open to us to use too. I remember something about walking way too far back in a "Rescue the Pilot" game and returning to find the game had ended without a shot being fired.

Enjoyable day today, decent turnout and lots of active games which kept everyone moving.
The smoke screen looked great, must try and add colour to them next time.

Honestly for quite a few here that would be an improvement

Great day yesterday, had 2 newbies in tow (they will be back). Aches and pains today and my face looks like I caught measles only got hit in the face and hands all day LOL

If played correctly that rolling retreat base game is brilliant (and knackering).

defenderdude

Fantastic games yeasterday indeed. Really knackering but great fluidity (spelling?) to them.

The charge you led through the lane was awesome. Sure; you fell in a hail of bb's (about 2000 I'd guess) but that was one hell of a sight!:eek:

Wear them with pride:p (and germoline)

Great day!

Yeah.....'er, sorry about that. But on the plus side, a tight little pattern of welts in the center of the forhead is all the rage these days.:D

LOL that was my own fault, the real sore thing about was you weren't even aiming at me I just got tagged cause I raise my head over the barrier :P

And yes I can confirm you are getting a nice tight pattern on your shots, 3 shots in a 3 inch area on my forehead lol.....

Great day!

there much of a problem people not taking there hits on saturday ,alot of poeple are claiming hits arent being taken when alot of people are out of range ,i marshalled for most of saturday very few incidents were brought to my attension,

have to agree with aiden the fighting rear guard ,it was a great game (good idea paul)
tactics and team work came to the fore as demonstrated in the 3rd running of the game ,

Gandalfs solo charge againgst the ghosts and a few others including a well placed 249 ,was quite funny to watch as myself and simon had a great view directly in front of his charge ,leading from the front is the way Gandalf,

Hey that was a pistol charge as well

Feck it no point sitting back and being scared of getting hit !!!!

Yes the phased retreat game is good but I think there should be a max timelimit that the defending team can hold each base, maybe 5 minutes. Otherwise it can get bogged down when you have organised team on defense against a weak attacking team. At least that way things would keep moving and be interesting for people of all levels.

Gatling

i think on saturday we will try it without 249s and the like unless both teams have a support weapon,

the best shot gandalf was during the 1st morning game when you were behind the the new structure and the guy attacking curled a bb around the wall on to your face ,

strangest angle ive ever seen anyone get hit from

I've been to HRTA this weeked first time since October.
There is one thing that I think changed.

It's amount of time it takes you guys to dress up! :eek:

Game didn't start untill 12 while at least 20 people was there at 10:30 getting there cammo right.

I think games where slow with long breaks in between.
Nevertheless a general impression - Good fun it was.

Boston

Talk of people not taking hits on the forum is getting old, real old. Its either a big enough issue to say it directly to some one, or not at all.

Thats fairly common. To avoid it you have to motivate yourself and not sit back waiting for someone else to start a game. I've gone into the field at 11 playing 4 against 4 while a dozen odd sat up at base talking, and if thats what they want to pay their money for, then fair play to them. Its the same with getting a quick turn around in the games.

very true it seems a new social scene has grown in the safe zone and game area ,nobody is ever in a rush to play anymore ,

gaps in between games need to be shortened ,even worse is people coming with no batteries charged or when the leave the game zone to play they only bring enought ammo for 1/2 games and walk out of a game to get more bbs ,grrr
