Well, it started last Saturday, after accepting the fact that due to the marker you own puts you in the advanced games. I'm in my early 30's and thought that if I am to invest in this sport, I might as well buy what I can affor, instead of starting with something new and pore money into upgrades. I ended up buying a 2002 Angel LCD with Cobra Mods. This is my second time out, the first time wasn't pretty, had many marks to prove it and this time I tried a different tactics.
I met some new friends, so we met up at Jungle-Islang in So. Corona, CA. It was a cool morning roughly in the mid 60's and high humidity. The games started at about 9:15 and my friends and I were ready, my group of three included my Angel, a Timmy , and an E-99. We started in Trenches and these were advanced games. It was about 15 on 15, both teams had mostly cockers, bushy, and even a couple of pumps.
The game was capture the flag, to me in trenches it would probably be total elimination. Anyway we worked up the trench, eliminations were few, both Teams were pretty good, I find my angel to be very accurate with the helpful info on this board with the paint to barrel match. I was able to eliminate one player for sure (evidence on his mask). As we advanced, I find myself going through a lot of paint, I had three pods, my prior experiences, 3 pods would have lasted 3 games and you can refill during a break, I am half way up, about 10 minutes into this game and I had one 150rd pod left with half a hopper. After emptying the hopper and eliminate another player (hit him on the foot). I loaded the last pod. As the games progress, I'm getting sprayed all over my goggles and can barely see. Then the refs said 5 minutes left. There were at least 7-8 players left for both sides. I'm surprise my friends and I are still alive, but before we can decide if we can rush the other team, the other team overtran the trenches, I was able to pick off two before I got splat on tke mask(yes paint is bitter). In the end, Our team won and one of my friends survived the ordeal. It turns out, the other team thought there was only a few left and not expect there was so many left.
I didn't play the second game because I was very low on paint (half a hopper, 0 in pods), so we decided to go back for reload.
As the day progress, and we went to field of tanks, helicopters, cities and barrels, I find that team work with flanking manuever work bests, my old strategies of making barriars larger by being further back (woods tactics of 15 years ago) doesn't wook too well in todays arena. Working a squad of 6 is best with cover fire and out flanking. By the end of the day, I personally went through a case of paint. But the day was a different day, I ended up with very few bruises and a lot more experience..confidence. It's all coming together. Well, thanks for your attention, I just wanted to share.:|
