URBAN ASSAULT 12.04.08 - A SKIRMISHER'S REVIEW
Update from Urban Assault Saturday 12th April
MY thanks to Embryonicboy for writing and sending this report
and here is what he had to say:
'I feared the worst with rain forecast for the Saturday. Woke up to
find bright sunshine. Lots of wind though, but this wouldn't matter
would it, at a mostly indoor CQB environment like Urban Assault? Hmmm
well, more on that later.
After a rather chilly gear set-up and a much needed brew we paid our
dues which is gone up a fiver, we all stood around having the safety
briefing. Pretty much a full house again and lots of banter and good
fun was had. I had a chat to a mate of FT's who was telling me about
falling over last skirmish and damaging his SCAR. Sounds painful!!
Anyway, game on and as usual it was a semi auto in the Casino and West
Wing. Last time I played this game they made the teams start further
apart, which helped, but this time normal service was resumed and it
became a battle of the corridors. I have some battery issues in my UMP
but still managed to get some good fire down on the red team. No score
draw, moving on...
Next up both teams had to capture canisters. Blue team attacked this
game like they were possessed. Stickymonk and my original idea of
defending the west wing was soon made pointless after our team
hammered through the reds until we were camped outside there respawn
point. At this point we had control over the whole site apart from the
Police Station and we were giving it plenty! The reds tried to break
out but it was to little and too late. Game ended with the most
comprehensive win I have ever had!
By this point the weather was getting rather warm, no worries, we
would be inside defending a building surely after fighting down the
length of the site?....erm no. We had to attack a landrover defended
by the red team. So we set off and attacked. But it was too well
defended near the Garrison and by this point, I was knackered!
After lunch we had our go at defending the landrover, which we did
although Reds made a good effort. Next up we played a game, moving the
'executive' to different points around the site. These were usually as
far as you could get and all the fighting was once again outside. Bit
disapointed as we walked past these great buildings, not being used
for skirmished. Hmmm, not much 'urban' at urban assault.
We called it a day when our next briefing involved blues attacking the
police station for a third time! To hot and too tired we headed off
after a good day, but wishing there had been more CQB and indoor
battles...

All Work and no Play :-(
How time flys when your - WORKING!!!!!! - I have not had a moment spare to make any Airsoft Videos so far this month -in fact I have not even been out for a Skirmish this April (YET).
We are all over our few weeks of the Flu, the new garden fence has been put up, and all is well - work is up-to-date and I'm back in the UK for next weekend - so with any luck I will be at Urban Assault on 26th April :-) and I will be using the TYPE 97 (I'll take the Trusty CA SCAR as backup just incase the battery does not hold out on the TYPE 97 or god forbid something goes wrong inside it.....
I have not done any more work on the BFG Armour - I have a helmet ready to paint and fit a Camera too - but as I keep saying these days - too much work - in short its a classic case of too much to do and so little time to do it........
Well I hope that i have better news next time I post here and some new photos to show.
