Wow - I'm tuckered out. This was another great event. I'm getting so spoiled. What can I say, thanks go out to everyone that had a hand in putting this together. To those who traveled great distances (Rekkon and Godo and the tank crew) I hope it was worth it. Thanks especially to the organizers, Troy and Gryphon. Troy (BA64) outdid himself again with relentless effort and it was visible in all the neatly painted signage for the camp area, for his armored car build and to the creation of a herd of pigs. See below. Will (Tank Commander) and Steve (Driver) and Matt (Gunner) made the long trip from Michigan to debut the metal tracks on their now famous U-tube Tiger and it operated well for most of the day. It did break down later but their tank is a learning platform and is still undergoing teething pains as they attempt to perfect it while on their shoestring budget. Ingenious design was on display and more than a couple of our mechanically inclined members were quite impressed. Later when the Tiger was kaput they fought on with pistols alone. Quite aggressive too I might add. Neoptolemus was the lone known injury of the day (except for the normal bumps and bruises gathered while traversing raspberry thickets and forest territory.) He caught one in the forehead from a sniper well within the 100-ft min engagement distance. He didn't complaint but took it like a trooper but the offender lost his right to play the remainder of the day and became an observer. I liked this result as it showed that we do enforce the rules and play no favorites and that's what leads to building a great group of players. The offender will be welcomed back and given another chance to redeem himself at the next event. I really was excited to hear that Jason at Airsoft Battle Zone brought some modern airsoft gamers to watch and they evidently caught the bug. Great! They already have five members that look to become interested in doing a US team and together with the three US players already with MOA we might need to add a US web page to the site. The more the merrier. I hope they can even work out all getting together but if not, it wouldn't be a problem having different US units. I for one have been itching to have a West Front themed game. That's it for my pictures because the rest are on a regular camera. But I did manage to take some videos during the second skirmish. See below: German advance s125.photobucket.com/albums....703.flvSoviet advance s125.photobucket.com/albums....705.flvSmoke screen s125.photobucket.com/albums....707.flvThe attack s125.photobucket.com/albums....708.flvIn the third video you hear the tank shoot at the beginning of the tape. I'm talking, Duh... and you hear smack, smack which is the shot and the tree getting hit. In the 4th video, you hear the headlamp breaking on BA64's armored car. Will's tunic got caught on the regulator in the tank and spun up the pressure from 10PSI to 30PSI for that shot. Now we know what a nerf rocket looks like once it is de-constructed. No laughing matter really. Will felt bad about it, but Troy has a replacement headlamp at hand and Will vowed to design in a relief valve with the gun pressure system. Thank goodness no people got hit with that shot. I had several highlights. All in skirmish one. I managed a panzerfaust hit (admittedly the second - but I think that still counts for a tank destruction badge, right? ;D) on the armored car advancing. The Tiger spun its turret in time before the AC could launch it's AT weapon and I fired a split second after that (thump.. thump). Way fun! I had acquired my position in a pistol charge on Morkova's sniper perch and after the AC retreated killed Ivan in another pistol charge around the barn corner. Then I proceeded to do my share of dying for the rest of the day. Still with no injuries except sore joints, I rate this event one of my favorites. Group shots and other great pictures I know will follow as Cpl Mills was taking pictures too. Since AAR reports are supposed to look for areas of improvement I will just say that personally, I felt that the German team seemed a little less intimidating on this outing. For whatever reason, we seemed less effective. Leadership or is the enemy just getting better? Time will tell. Oh and I'm not lobbying for command here, although January voting is just right around the corner. Looking forward to the next event. If nothing intercedes (other events) it will be in February in Pickerel and this year I plan to offer a flexible scheduling date so that if the forecast looks unbearable on one weekend we can switch to another. The event will be locked in stone however by Wednesday of whatever week is chosen so that folks can take off if desired. I figure we'll rely on the 5-day forecast for a more pleasing weather result. Well, we have some down time ahead to improve our impressions and language skills. (Language only if you are so inclined )

No pics from me but here is an AA. I arrived on Saturday morning for this one as time is tight for me with the new job but I really wanted to be at this event. The weather was terrific. A little cool in the morning but great the rest of the day. The Tiger was a big hit and this event was different from the many others that we have had because of the armored element that each side possessed. Not only did each side have armor but each side had ample anti armor weaponry. We had the two panzerfausts, Gryphon's new small anti-tank, mortar conversion, and Rekkon's bag of tricks that included several pioneer tools of destruction. I thought that the way the armor rules and weaponry mixed that the Event organizers and players used the vehicles and special weapons beautifully. The vehicle sounds, the confusion, the added realism, ... it was awesome. Udo and Garrick brought smoke too and when it was used it was pretty neat.
As usual, the group of players were friendly and played well together. Only one instance of poor judgment when a sniper shot neoptolemus in the forehead from too close up and the event organizers handled that incident quickly and ended that gamer's day.
The Russians had a great event and won two of the three scenarios and surprisingly, the partisans won the second scenario leaving the Germans licking their wounds.
First battle - Ammo airdrop - This battle was a lot of fun. The armor saw the most action for this one because it was in more open areas of the field. The Russian (U.S.) side got to the ammo crates first and shot up a good portion of Germans while doing it. Nevertheless, the Germans came back and doled out some good punishment to the Russian team. Gryphon took out the Tiger with a side shot from his new anti-tank contraption and that was the only time in the day that the Tiger died. The Armored car was taken out numerous times in this action and the Germans were pushing on the Russian HQ to retrieve the ammo when time ran out. I spent most of this battle alongside the Tiger as spotter. The nerf rocket cannon on the Tiger was very effective.
2nd battle - Polish art treasures. - This battle was very interesting. The Germans started on one side of the field, the Russians on the other, and the 8 partisans (polish) were in the village guarding art. The Germans laid back initially and after seeing a number of Polish and Russian casualties we assaulted the village and took it under cover of smoke rather easily. We found two art treasures and started to curse the Russians for having looted most of art which in fact they had not. After that there was a total loss of unit cohesion apparently among both sides and the battle ebbed and flowed with the village remaining in German hands. Towards the end we pushed on the Russian HQ hoping to find art but found none. Nor, did we capture their HQ. Turns out that most of the art was still hidden in the village in places that neither side had found and so, the Polish partisans who essentially had ceased to exist as a fighting force were awarded the victory. Very weird but very fun scenario.
Third battle - porkers - The battle started with a mad dash for pig meat in an open winter wheat field. The Germans grabbed two and the Russians nabbed three pigs and the remainder of the battle had the Germans trying to assault the Russian HQ. By this time many of us were tired ( I know I was) and our repeated attacks were beaten back again and again. There was no armor in this battle as the Tiger had broken down (something that Tigers did, you know) and in the end the Russian defence held pretty easily and was never under any serious threat.
The event was really fun and capped off a great year for the MOA in the midwest. Each event brings new premieres and new weapons. The Tiger's appearance was a real treat and the organization continues to thrive. Word has it that a new U.S. team may be incorporated into the MOA by early next year and there are already some new premieres being planned for the next event which could be the winter event in Nashville. Last year that event was sparsely attended but hopefully there will be more at the next cold weather Nashville event. It's a lot of fun fighting in several feet of snow and cold. Bring a back up gun if at all possible and dress for the weather. It should be in early to mid February. Thanks again to Troy, Todd, and to all who played with such a good sporting attitude.

Well it was a great event. The usual thanks to participants, organizers, Tiger crew, etc. etc. On to the usual lengthy personal AAR.
I had not gotten a good look at the map for the first scenario, so I was somewhat off-put when we all ran to a corner of the field that we had not used back in April. Gruppe West went right and ran into stiff opposition immediately across the clearing. By getting into position opposite the brushline first, the Allies gained better visibility while we advertised our advance through the vegetation. Alban, Godo and I went down when we started taking fire. I was trying to locate something to shoot while our whole flank was decimated down to the sniper and pioneer. I went to ground, knowing that with an absence of resistance, our foe would move up and hopefully reveal himself enough for a shot. Sure enough, I pegged Oleg this way. However, someone with a rifle made my position. I could hear them quite close, working the bolt and putting shots through the brush, but it was a tough shot against a prone target. After a few rounds, the rifleman switched to a pistol and fired at me before changing back. I knew the enemy was pressing, but by that point I had few options. I put shots on the rifleman finally before getting eliminated from 20 feet or so. On respawn, our point was getting flanked, and sneaky Russians were crawling through the weeds (and glass). Several of us spread out and I started counter crawling. I made my way up, hearing movement but not getting any visuals. The partisan with the MG13 joined me. He was standing directly over me when Troy’s brother popped out from behind a tree and banged him. I went to fire back, but was bitten by the battery switch again. By the time that was fixed, the target was behind enough brush that I failed to get a BB through. Shady managed to eliminate him though. By now the Tiger had respawned and was advancing on the barn. I moved up with Udo and Wellnitz on the left. Natasha came back and was killed. We traded fire with Russians in the tree line before assaulting them and pushing them back completely. I raced across the opening to join Garrick and Udo and a partisan and we pressed into what had been Russian territory looking for the ammo crates. A thorough produced nothing, which meant the Russians already had them all. We moved back to the front lines for further skirmishing. Troy’s brother went around the far side of the barn to flank our forces, prompting me to get to the corner of the barn to return fire. He was eliminated, but then Natasha rolled back into action, pushing Neo and the rest of our infantry on that side to the east side in a hurry. The Tiger promptly dispatched the armored threat however, and Otto had to throw in a "me too" panzerfaust shot on the smoking wreck. I advanced around the side again with Neo to clear the corner but got tagged in an exposed leg just before lobbing a grenade. While discussing our next move, I spotted Gryphon trying to sneak up from the left. Knowing he only had a panzerfaust and a pistol, I rapidly moved up on his tree while he wasted shots on an unarmed partisan. He futilely tried to flee when he realized the proximity of the threat, and I relished another officer kill. We began an armored assault on the Russian HQ, but the game ended before we got there. At one point I moved to help an assault on the village, but whatever happened there has blended with all the frantic CQB action in the second scenario. I do recall turning around to look out another window and seeing a partisan at close range. There was the whole ‘lock eyes’ moment, before he dove for cover while spraying wildly. However I could tell from the sound of his MP40 that he was dry firing. Heh, heh. I had hesitated, not being entirely sure which team he was on since he was solo, but that was cleared up quickly enough. I lobbed a grenade toward his bunker, but it hit a tree and went awry. He lobbed one back, but it was deflected by a branch. Seeing the danger, I quickly vacated the building and went around to get a direct shot. We exchanged shots, but he was still firing blanks. Easy to guess the victor. Turns out he had gone to ground when our Tiger and infantry had gone by and no one saw him. Good thing I was there.
For scenario 2, we sent some skirmishers up to keep eyes on the village while advancing leisurely hoping to let the Russians and partisans thin each other out. We successfully assaulted and mostly took control of the village. I think here I was behind the west buildings when I got lit up from behind. I turned around to see the 2nd Rangers. However as I walked off to respawn I passed Neo and another German behind the Amis in turn. Ah poetic justice. We recovered two paintings, thinking the Russians had the rest. My memory of the rest of the scenario is pretty fragmented. There was plenty of fighting in the village in any event. At one point Garrick and I went through the seemingly abandoned village. I asked him to check the last building on the northeast while I went through the ones on the southeast. I finished first and while I watched, Adam jumped out from behind Garrick’s building and bang killed him. I had a perfectly clear shot, but hey, battery switch again. I put a few rounds on him when his head came around the corner again. Then Alban shot him in the back (wait, I think this was first scenario). In another event Otto and I were in that northeast building, defending the grounds. Natasha was creeping up so Neo took the panerfaust and got a good position. As the BA-64 entered the town, I killed one or two gunners foolishly exposing themselves, clearing the way for a failed panzerfaust attack. Otto was eliminated, leaving me vulnerable to infantry coming from the back of the building since it lacked windows on that side. I heard vile Russian footsteps on the other side of the wall. I bolted outside and tried to clear the corners, which resulted in Adam and I getting mutual bang kills. Somewhere mid scenario, I respawned to the sounds of battle at our nearby HQ. Wellnitz and I and a few others moved up to hit the attacker’s flank. I eliminated two unwary partisans, one of which was Robin, but got bang killed by someone as I came around a building. A quick respawn and I was back in, sweeping the area for threats. I got a default bang kill on a partisan that I unearthed when he said his weapon was not working. I will take it. After one respawn, Udo came back and said Natasha was inside our base. Alban and I moved up to flank the likely escape trail. Unfortunately I had loaned out all my panzerwurfmines, leaving us with just grenades. We attacked when Troy drove between us, but I stepped wrong, hurt my knee and basically just flopped. Curses, another tank destruction badge slipped through my fingers. Revenge was had however. Neo grabbed my magnetic mine from the base and went panzerjager. I happened to be approaching the village as Natasha drove through it. I spotted Neo slinking along the opposite side of the buildings before charging around. There followed a satisfying clank of magnets on metal. Our C&C and organization seemed relatively non-existent in the second scenario, and from what I heard we lost one piece of art to partisans and another to the Russians. Kerrik came back saying he had taken, searched and camped the Russian base, finding nothing of value. Thus we had to hit the village again to search it again for artwork. I think it was sometime around here, late in the scenario that Alban and I wound up together and decided to hit the village. Much fighting ensued, though Alban did most of it. I went around the left side of the buildings and blindsided Gryphon. I recall not if I there was more firing on my part, but I think another German had joined us by then. I set about sweeping the buildings. Entering the barn, I swung up my weapon to cover the loft and saw only a backlit human silhouette, which of course led to the “””accidental””” bang kill of Alban (yes those are quotes around my quotes, thus cancelling them out. If I were to deliberately kill that sniper, do you not think I would want the satisfaction of actually shooting, or better, grenading him. Hmmm?) Hmmm, what else. We were holding the village when partisans attacked it at one point. Godo and I traded fire from opposite sides of the barn. I tried to flank around the side, but was eliminated by another partisan’s reflex shot.
Easily my best moment of the event came near the very end. Somehow I ended up alone behind the outhouse west of the village. Being paranoid, I constantly shifted from one side to the other, keeping a lookout for threats. I watched a Russian through the lattice on the barn, but he went down just before I opened fire on him. Just as well because there was a whole bloody lot of Soviets there. I popped around once to see three of them north of the buildings. Two dropped quickly, but one (Adam I think) made a break for it. He did not make it far. A quick check of the other side, and when I came back around I managed to tag the guy I had seen first at the south barn corner. Earlier in the day he had nearly killed me with a grenade (I remain free of such deaths thus far). I had hesitated for fire on him through the lattice, letting him dive to the ground and chuck an explosive. Fortunately I was in the open and immediately displaced (after shooting him). There was some confusion over the grenade rules, but it was handled without incident. But back to the initial story. With many dead Russians at my feet, I moved against the building next to the barn. I figured my best bet was to move quickly and quietly. I would either die in short order or cause all kinds of havoc. CQB is a fickle mistress. I heard movement inside and chucked a grenade. I had yet to get any grenade kills in all that village fighting and was more than a little unhappy about it. As I circled around to the doors, I heard Gryphon ask several of his troops were still with him. Of course they were all dead, as was he, which I politely informed him. However as he walked off to respawn, he was talking to someone, which told my paranoid self that there were people in the buildings I had yet to clear. Grenades and corners later, those (empty) buildings were clear, but Gryphon and company came charging back down almost immediately. I shot at there feet under the truck, and beat a hasty retreat so as not to be caught in a building with no roof (yay grenades). No doubt intimidated by my previous effortless village clearing, the Russians were slow to pursue me, and I made it back to the outhouse from which I had started the episode. Always trying to maintain situational awareness, I glanced behind me. I saw nothing, but it prompted shots to my back. At first I only saw field gray and thought it might have been friendly fire, but no, Godo had killed me and all his partisan friends were there as well. One pioneer can only do so much. However, I had unwittingly denied the Russians a win (or at least second place). Gryphon had been holding two or three artworks when my grenade ended him. Oh well. It was Polish art after all. I mean, come on.
Third scenario, aka quintuple center swine-flag. The Rush-ians got three in the initial… rush, and that was pretty much game. We were tired and a little demoralized, and the respawn system, though improved, still made it nigh impossible to assault the enemy HQ when they all bunkered around it. Godo and I were ambushed by dug in defenders early on. Garrick and I (later joined by Neo) did ok trying to sneak in along the north flank a while later. The swamp sucked, and when our cover was blown, the other two were quickly eliminated. I got tangled in hidden barbed wire and bogged down in the morass. I kept still, hoping the enemy might go back to their previous positions and overlook me. Unfortunately I was spotted and had an insufficient tree for cover. I was not about to go prone in water for a hopeless position, so I hunkered down as best I could and returned fire. I figured I just might be able to tie down enough of their forces to do some good. I think I eliminated one of my assailants (there were like six) before my inevitable death. Walking back to spawn I saw many Germans pressing across the field. One of the tankers charged Gryphon with a pistol and managed to eliminate him (and not die in the process).

I had a blast at this event. I got more kills and died the least at this one than the last three I've been to. 1st scenario: Tom and I lead a squad toward the back corner of the field through the swamp, as we were making our way through we received some fire that killed one of our men. Tom and I quickly returned fire into the bushes, after a few bursts we heard the satisfying sound of "hit". we started on our way again hoping to flank the Germans, but, one of our men(I cant remember his name for the life of me) spotted the parachutes. we quickly gathered up 1 ammo can per person and made our way back along the fence. We came up to Natasha, loaded the ammo up and headed off toward our HQ. There wasn't enough room in the Ba64 armored car so I had to hoof it. We hid the ammo cans and Troy left to retrieve the rest of the ammo cans. Tom and I stayed to guard the objective. An hour later the allies won. 2nd scenario: Our squad was to flank the German HQ, we made our way behind the German HQ, two members of the squad stayed behind in the HQ to ambush the Germans. Tom and I pushed on to the village hoping to get some krauts from behind. We came up to the village, Tom got 2 Germans right away, I ran forward to the barn, exchanged some fire with a partisan inside, when I got shot from behind. After respawn, I moved up with 2 others, Killed 2 Partisans, and made my way to the creek. I started walking up the creek spotted a German making his way toward me, after we exchanged some fire I believe I killed him, I didn't see him any more. I began to make my way back up the creek when I started to receive some fire from the village, the creek on the left side was blocked my fallen trees so I jumped on the right side to run around it, as I was making my way back to the other side, Alban shot my in the chest, he was very surprised to see me. I walked back to my car and picked up my Camera through the duration. 3rd scenario: As a combat photographer I'm armed with my camera and a pistol. after we all Charged to the field, the Germans took up positions in the field and us in the tree line, but it was of no use because of the wind neither side was getting kills. most of the Germans went back into the trees, and a couple of krauts stayed behind as a diversion. A comrade and I charged Alban, he died well. I ran out to snap a picture of some Germans walking back to respawn when I noticed a German in the field, I was prepared to run back to our lines if he fired at me, I wasn't worried about getting hit he was far enough away, the wind would've assured my safety. As he was engaged in a fire fight I charged and killed him. He turns to me and says, "you taking pictures or playing?", "both" I said. I made my way back to our lines, I ran into Tom, and there was some Germans making a push on our lines. I walked out and fired a round a a German but the pistol fired short, a little cold for the Gas. Now aware that of me they fired back. Tom popped out and killed him. We made our way through the woods, Tom just about killed the entire German squad that made the push. I decided that I wanted to get back in with my Thompson so I pulled my kill rag out to walk freely about the field to take pictures. After the last shot, I got my Thompson. I walked across the field, spotted 2 Partisans in the woods, killed them both, right when I bb wizzed right in front of my face. I ran toward our lines for about 20 feet and ducked into some tall grass. I spotted some movement in front of me. popped up and shot at Mike, he did the same and we killed each other. He got me good in the lip, causing my eyes to water up and burn. After I respawned I came into our HQ. I started off toward the village when I linked up with Tom. supplied him with some ammo and moved out with him. We right away took some fire. I got down and crawled through some tall grass to get a better shot on the Krauts. with 3 of us there we were able to move and shoot our way closer to inevitably kill the enemy. I heard someone call for help so I ran back to the HQ to help, there were 3 Germans making a push, I called for Sarge to make his way back to help. Gerrick and his buddy were gunned down quickly. I made my way towards the 3rd German that turned out to be Rekken. After a few short bursts he was Swiss cheese. Somebody called out the Germans were pushing again through the field. Tom and I made our way back to the HQ. I spotted a Kraut making his way toward the HQ. But it was a futile attempted with 3 of us waiting for him we opened up, he beat a hasty retreat after several bursts. We won the battle shortly after that. and some Hi resolution pics i240.photobucket.com/albums....5186093i240.photobucket.com/albums....5186096i240.photobucket.com/albums....5186101The rest are here: s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff92/2ndrangers/Autumn%20Advance/

This was my first-ever opportunity to go Tiger hunting, and it was a blast! Special thanks to the crew for humping it up here, and for playing with skill and panache. Just for the record, as designated Soviet tank hunter I scored three hits on the Tiger, not just one - one with the Panzerfaust by the barn early in the first scenario(shot by infantry seconds later,) another with the Faust on the southeast corner of the village early in the second scenario (and was soon grenaded by Udo for my trouble,) and a final one by the Griffin Gate with the AT mortar about halfway through the second scenario (survived this one because the tank had outrun its infantry support.) The Tiger crew played tough - they know their machine and keep a good watch. That main gun is a real killer! TJ Alcott would be proud. I could almost hear the gears turning in Beegs' head as he was examining the Tiger's running gear....
The personal quality of play from the entire group was outstanding, with one exception that had more to do with inexperience than carelessness or malice. The Soviets of the 198th fought in disciplined fire teams and followed orders throughout the day without complaint or hesitancy - I salute you with pride, Comrades. Our partisans were of exceptionally high quality, and I look forward to "encouraging" some of them into "volunteering" for the privilege of glorious service with the Red Army at future events.
As usual, the Germans fought hard and extremely competently on the squad level, especially when probing. Once the 3rd becomes more used to coordinating infantry movement with armor, life will become harsh for the 198th.
Thank you all for making this my personal favorite MOA event thus far (#2 is our fight in the deep snow last winter.)

WOW we east coasters so have to some out to one of those events! -Gordak Well so far overcrowding has never been a problem and you know we'd love to have you. I can't promise a Tiger at every event but we do generally have a great time. Not as immersive as some of BattleSims offerings but fun all the same. This event had the Germans on their heels a bit and we didn't win any scenarios but it was about time. The Soviets handed us some humble pie and even the partisans joined in serving up a helping. I can't say I enjoyed the taste. Uggh! But there will be other events and that's what makes this so much fun. Nice pics again Cpl Mills. No AAR is complete until you post your pics. All hail Gryphon the tank killer. ;D (I'm just jealous) Next regular MOA event in February. But you never know what might happen between now and then.

As the host, I want to say THANK YOU! to all who came out to Autumn Advance. There were no big problems to deal with which gave me plenty of playing time. Everyone put the trash in the cans and not on the ground. None of the props disappeared, in fact, there were a number of items left behind. 16 total Lost & Found items that have been posted to www.ostfrontairsoft.comAutumn Advance AAR. I have been hosting different events on this property for more than 15 years and know what it's like to be forced to remove a whole group from the site...NO FUN! These are FREE events so when I stop having fun, I'll stop hosting events. I do like suggestions both Neg. and Pos. They will only help make the events better. Troy aka: Boris

I like this small video that came out from a couple of observers at the event. Jason owns Airsoft Battle Zone, and Bear is one of his trusted unit members. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSwjpTzv7E0They caught the action around the barn which was my favorite battle of the day since it was tank country (as it was).
