Who was the stud on the .30 holding Mclovin's CP?

Another great set of videos Sean. You captured a couple big happenings. One was the direct mortar hit on the tank at the bridge crossing and the other was ersatzjack2's long range hit on biged at the same crossing. If I had to hear that story one more time... (just kidding) at least he can claim video proof with biged yelling "nice shot". Sure brightened up a dreary February weekend. Maybe we can return the favor in the following weeks. Watching Josh with his sniper rifle is always fun too. You could really hear the bbs zipping across by the bridge filming.

The axis force certainly had a marriage of marksmenship and good weaponry that day. I remember I got eliminated at "mclovin's CP" by taking two direct shots to the helmet. There wasn't any large amount of BB's wizzing by between shots, so I think its safe to presume it was someone with a k98, very likely a sniper.

NOT to blow my horn but that was me by Eds 60mm popping you guys in the CP with head shots..... with my very trusty KAR 98 springer ("Enemy at the Gates" Version) from Ersatzjack and some strong modifications from me.......... JUST LOVING IT.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

burt's right. I didn't long range shoot biged until the final defensive battle for Noville. The video in question was much earlier in the day than that. Josh gets all the credit. He deserved it for his contributions on that day.

I close it but it doesn't load...I give up. I'd put it on a site where you have to DL nothing.

I will try to get it on the ww22aa through the ftp network because I can't fit my videos on youtube. I'd have to re-compress and that would result in horrible audio and video quality.

Ok thanks. I'm not just saying for me but it would be easier just to watch without having to download anything.

First off, Good footage!!!
Second off… Hey, I don’t know what I was thinking charging that bunker… I mean; I didn’t even have my bayonet fixed. *sigh* LOL!!! I think that was the second most time I’ve ever eaten BB fire in my six years of Airsofting.

It is nice not having my teammate shoot me in the rear yelling move up for a change… Since… I think there wasn’t much further than ten feet to move anyway!

Another mouth watering video. And another one yet to go? Wow! For those not in the know, at this battle, the Germans did not have unlimited respawns so once hit they weren't coming back. We didn't want to stray from history and actually take Bastogne unless the American defenders were completely inept which of course they were not. It helped that you guys were dug in and we had to cross open field. Anyway, another fun video to watch. Thanks for all your hard work on this. It really makes events last longer with a video record.

Haha! Thanks Ersatzjack. I will admit, the Germans were attacking over the worst possible terrain. Just the fact that you could not advance along the creek bed off to the Allied flank (the stream was frozen, it was too dangerous to allow) really hindered your advance. Plus your flanking assault that came around behind Bastogne failed, which didn't help!
Well at least your brother now gets to see a bit of the Battle! ;D

Well at least your brother now gets to see a bit of the Battle! ;D Yeah, thanks for the video. After the battle of the two bridges, my back spasmed so bad I had to sit this one out. I came back later in the defense of Foy and Noville because I wasn't going to drive all that way and sit out so I roughed it. Funny too, because I really haven't had back problems. Nice video. Looking forward to the counterattack. Those defensive battles for us were a lot of fun.

Yeah, we got our butts kicked in that Battle. I was taken out again by mortar fire along the hedge near the “stream”.
The original plan was to keep the Allied defenders busy with our slightly longer ranged K-98’s. It was in hope of allowing a couple FJ guys to drop in at the flank of the town. However, the Allies were not sleeping and were very watchful. Kudos to the Allies for a well rounded defense!

Well this is just GREAT. Looks like I'm going to have to migrate all of my videos all over again. www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/technology/article/divx-announces-plans-shut-stage6com_492151_12.htmlFor some reason or another DivX saw it fit to shut down Stage6 just out of the blue. "By no longer expending resources on Stage6, we sharpen our focus on creating a global standard for digital video while building a business that maximizes shareholder value. " Right. Now I have to find a new place to upload the content from the game. Unusually, if you search google for "ww2 airsoft battle of the bulge," some third party sites oddly still have the same videos from the game. I hope that entertains you until I find a new site to get them all back up. And I just finished a new 14 minute video too! Sorry everyone.

Well...that sucks but it surely isn't your fault sean. We can hang in there until you find a way to get them back up somehow.

Yeah, I know. I'm just bummed because of the loss of ease of navigation thats all. I should be able to find another site to host one. I'm actually looking at one right now. Looks promising.

Eh..we'll let it slide.
Sean will keep us updated when the next event comes up. I talk to him frequently and he's keeping the next event information top secret. As soon as he's ready to announce it, he will. Loose lips sink ships.
