After Action Report:
Our family arrived at the field as planned at 11:00am despite some traffic difficulties. We unpacked and waited for everyone to arrive. The first battle started around 1:00. We did an attack and defend skirmish. The American team got to defend despite their higher number of players. One of the player's Thompson started to act up. I missed the first battle as I was helping him fix it so I don't know how it went. The Germans lost the battle though.
For the 2nd Battle we did the same thing except the Germans got to defend. I am not much of a defense person so I left the fort area to wait in the grass hoping I could catch someone sneaking around. I heard my uncle get somewhere in the grass and I knew they were coming. I could here them talking as they approached. When I saw them on the other side of the grass I popped out and nailed one of them with my K98. The other guy blasted my with an automatic and I was down. After re spawning I went back to try and take my killer down. The American got to cover behind a wall ahead of me. As the bunker behind me laid down covering fire I popped my head out to see if I could get a clear shot. Unfortunately I got hit in the back somehow and I was out for the game. It must have been a stray BB from the other end of the defenses. The Americans did a good job breaking though the defenses. The battle ended in a stalemate with the remaining US team having surrounded the last 3 Germans who were in the tower.
The next four battles we had either side come in from opposite ends of the tower area. I had a few great moments when I flanked their positions. Unfortunately my K98 wasn't working to well so I didn't really hit anyone a lot of the time. I got ahold of an MP44 at one point and did pretty well with that. Ended up flanking the US position at one point and taking down 3 guys before one of them turned around and nailed me(my little brother ;D).
For the last battle we did another attack and defend. The German got to defend again. Unfortunately my K98 really started acting up and I had to use an MP40. The bad thing was the MP40 broke down too . The Germans won this time non the less .
After talking to the players it seems everyone had a great time. We got one new German who came with a full kit which was very impressive at the age of 13.
Some things I'd like to do next time.
1: Get some referees. I trust everyone who plays with us but I think it would help as everyone always complains about hit taking.
2:Make the rest time between battles shorter.
3: Continue to tighten the authenticity
4: Do some video and picture taking myself
5: Get all my weapons in working order ;D.
I got so hot and tired I took my tunic off .
Next time I am just going to go without the undershirt. I need a bandanna for my neck too.
