limited video for this battle, forgot to turn off camera while waiting for OPFOR to get ready.. The day began quietly enough. Tanks being unloaded from their carriers, commanders preparing their palaver for the days events, you know, the normal stuff. But some of us forgot one ritual.. Burnt offering to the overseer of markers. Joe had fired up his stogy, guess we should have been downwind. Two markers gremlins appeared pre-battle. Paul's Patton was misbehaving, not sure what was wrong as I came in at the end. He had dismantled the marker and upon reassembly realized that 2 springs were missing. Luckily a strong magnet was at hand to retrieve both springs from the forest floor. Meanwhile, Frank's Semovente kept misfiring. No amount of gun oil or changing of o-rings worked. And the gun had been torn down in the off season and bench tested perfectly.. Our first casulaty of the day. Doug's Tiger decided to imitate his Axis compatriot during the first batlle, Zombie War II. Never did find out what the gun malfunction was, but we had another asset down. During the final battle, which involved controlling a river crossing ,controlling the artillery and having to capture the OPFOR flag, my Panzer II marker joined the rest. It started just after Joe"the Jersey Kneecapper" took out my left leg at 5 feet. While awaiting the medics, who never arrived, I heard some gas leaking in the turret. As I drove back to base, cold CO2 came rushing out of the barrel.My shooting part of the battle was ended. At that point I could only hope to rush the flag if we controlled the river crossing.. Vieo and pics to follow.
