OP: Steel Talon - March 14 - 15th, 2009

[LieutenantChau]

I ended up having to carrying the crate when I was on the USSF team. My fingers still hurt.

[Deliverator]

Man, really too bad that I couldn't end up making it. I like the idea of having no hicaps, and restricting camo options. I do not like the idea of 18+ games, as it would take those of us who would be dedicated enough to meet uniform/equipment requirements out of the equation. I think you should just limit it to 15+ and have the uniform/equipment restrictions set so that it would leave all of the random backyardsofters at home.

Or we could leave it at 18+ so that we have only people who can sign their own waivers showing up...

Maybe have some games like that, but don't make all of the super awesome amazing games be 18+ so that the 16 year olds end up with not so awesome stuff.

One thing I feel compelled to note:

During phase 2 or 3--I can't remember--a group of US forces was organizing between Hamburger Hill and Khe Sahn, and I heard one of them say "Hey, somebody up there just threw the US flag off the hill..."

It went over pole and all down one of those greasy, muddy slope. I'm sure it was an accident...

I'm equally sure that there are a whole lot of people there that would have willingly left the game and relinquished all future field privileges in response to the person who would do such a thing. It may seem silly to some, but, Old Glory is not a thing that gets thrown down a muddy slope merely for the sake of entertainment.

I'm not advocating violence. In America you are free to do such a thing. Please don't.

[REDZAW]

Thanks Top for an awesome game. Ivan: it was great running w/ ya. Would love to do that again. In case you're wondering, was the one w/ the REDZAW sweatshirt.
My arms are sore from carring my rifle for hours.
A piece of advice for those who slipped in the mud frequently, try to keep your balence while going down hill. And if you slip going up hill, get your other foot on the ground asap. I've been hiking trails since I was born. Also, stick to more firmer ground if possible. Best thing to do is keep your body straight and feet flat on the ground. Hold on to something if you need to ...a branch, tree, bush, ...whatever.
I had a blast! The US/Brazilian Team fought valiently!

LONG LIVE CARTEL!!!!

I can guarantee that it wasn't the Cartel that did that. First of all, I would have never let that happen, and second of all, when I saw the flag it was flapping in the breeze, that was until we captured it. Even after that it was tightly secured to someones back.

[Ivan Daylovich™]

Yeah I remember you, glad you found us I totally forgot to look for you before the game. You were great to have with us.
Also the Farther/Son team (I assume, sorry if I am wrong) that got put with us you guys were great I'd like to find out who you are.

[CBeran]

Ya Peaches is right I was sitting half way down Hamburger Hill on the US side watching the guy holding the flag through my scope...They took care of it.

[v frost]

that was my first op (although i play in skirmishes about once a week) and i have to give a huge thanks to airsplat and top for throwing it me and the rest of 1st cav had a blast the night game was soo fun ill definitly show up again

and to lords legion i met up a couple times on the field with you guys and ill go into batte anytime with any of you again

[league 4]

Almost forgot.... who ended up carrying the Nerve agent crate? I bet that was some serious "fun" wasn't it

That was mean.

[SilentStalker]

All these complaints about the light ammo box. At least to the SF team that carried it, it seemed light. The two SF guys assigned to carry it took their orders and marched off HH and in to Star Log and never once complained.
Great OP TOP. Hope to see a more MILSIM type event hosted by you and APST in the near future. If my two cents are worth anything I would vote for real caps for all battle rifles and a total ammo limit on the support gunners so that they also have some sort of limit. just to try and keep it more real.

Again had a great time thank you all that were there to make my first OP TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!:)

[cptchimpo]

good op. US did get there asses wooped, i know since i was on that side. The one thing that really bothered me is that everytime i went to respawn there was around 20-30 people just sitting there or hanging out. a shame in my opinion. Thanks for a fun op though.

[Easley]

American,
Thanks for all the help on HH during Phase III. Without you as the Medic I would have lost my entire team in minutes. Also way to help us stay alive during the search for Juan. Would be honored to fight along side you again.

Thanks dude, I'm glad to have had such a good team covering my six. You are an excellent leader and showed great professionalism. I would love to fight together again.

[6 barrel]

Hey guys I was the dude with minigun. I just want to extend my thanks to TOP for an excellent game. I had an absolute blast with my team and the entire Cartel force. There was excellent structure and command in our group and we took our objectives quite well.
Thanks for the U.S. team putting up a good fight, trying to take the village was damn near impossible during Phase II, I must have walked back and forth from the spawn point three times trying to push up.
Hamburger Hill was quite literally hell on earth for me. Packing that damn gun up the hill almost killed me and that was just Phase I. Props to the sniper for that shot to my face, that was comedy gold at it's best, a real gusher.
I must admit there were a few times I "sprayed" my gun when we were on HH, I just couldn't help it. I've hardly fielded it since I got it and it was great burning through 8k of bb's and an entire battery. Sorry if I pissed anyone off, but my orders were pretty much to suppress as my team pushed.
