Let's hear it- the story you always want to tell. What was your best moment?

Good ole guerrilla tactics... and I wholeheartedly agree, it is great when the enemy is oblivious to your whereabouts and they think they know where you are.

 Right. Over a hundred players have viewed this post and nobody has any bragging rights over anything? You all must be some sorry payers... just joking. Look, posting is easy, it goes like this:
 
 Not too long ago, just after the major floods a few months ago, we went to play a game at our home field. Much to our dismay, when we arrived we found that the bridge to our field had been washed out. Determined not to loose a day on the field, our captain made some phone calls. Minutes later we were playing at our CQB field. It's a hunk of borrowed land with unused chicken houses, generally produces 15 to 25 metre engagements.
 One of the rounds we played a basic two vs three elimination match. My wingman got caught in a fatal funnel and that left me verses three. We had already played several rounds and I was running on a low tank(lower than I realized). At the end of one of the oversized coups, I involuntarily engaged all three opponents at approximately 15 metres(not how I wanted to do it, but what can you do, holler "Hey wait a sec!"? I don't think so). I exchanged rounds through the open double door with the first two while one pour it in the side window. All this, and my only cover was an 8"x8" post(that was an 'AWE SH!T' moment).
 Then, the familiar 'PLUNK' of my barrel turned to 'SNAP'. I had ammo and air, but I didn't have the PSI to cycle the Cyclone upgrade on my 98C. I was between a rock and a hard place. Stuck resetting the Cyclone with on hand, squeezing the trigger with the other and trying to draw a Tac 8 somewhere in the process. When all hope seemed lost, I got a break for about four seconds, I dropped my rifle and yanked my sidearm and set it to the 'Fire' position.
 I then saw why there was a lapse in fire, I was being rushed. My pistol replied to my adversary's action with the resounding 'PLUNK' and then came the most relieving sound of 'THWAK' followed by a lovely orange mist. Tango neutralized. A breath of air, a sigh of relief and near loss of focus.
  Fire through the door replaced my sense of accomplishment with a sense of awareness. Again my Tac 8 responded with the standard battle cry of 'PLUNK, PLUNK, PLUNK'. It was rewarded by the answer 'OUT... '. Two of three walked out. The last decided to call out instead of face me with low air pressure. Three of three walked out, and I the beat the odds of a 300% chance of losing.
 Outside: "Pro, did you shoot me with that pistol?!?" "Yessir", I replied, grinning ear to ear," I shot both of you with a pistol... still on first mag."

Luck, It's an Irish thing

I guess I'll take a stab at this...

 

Red text is for Team Red Dawn and Yellow is Alpha Force Wolfpack (AFWP)

 

Well, it was a couple of years ago, our first team challenge against Alpha Force Wolfpack. We were playing a small Hunt for Bin Laden mission (one of many missions for the day), at our homefield. AFWP was the Taliban and we were the U.S., we infiltrated hostile territory in search of the elusive Osama Bin Laden. Immediately, my Alpha squad hit the enemy head on while my Bravo and Delta squads flanked wide. The field we were using at the time was a large wooded valley (called Death Valley) and the enemy had taken the high ground. My Alpha squad immediately climbed the left side of the valley while the other squads overwatched. After Alpha squad was in place, the rest of us moved for the wide flank. Alpha squad almost immediately engaged their strong defensive front and dug in to keep them busy. Bravo and Delta moved silenty along the river side to the east side of the valley killing a few snipers along the way. We finally made it to the east side of the valley and our Alpha squad was still keeping the enemy on the left valley side busy, when we crested the incline of the right valley side and surprised an AFWP squad with a silent deadly flank while they were observing what was going on on the other side of the valley. We wiped out about 6 at this time, then I sent Bravo squad down the middle of the valley to flank the enemy that Alpha squad was keeping at bay. My Delta squad and I moved around the high right side in search of Bin Laden. There were only 3 of us left at this time, and we encountered a small resistance toward the back of the field from a low postion. I had my two men suppress them while I flanked, then I commenced up the very back of the left valley side. My two Delta members remained in overwatch position while I traveled. Upon arriving at the high side, I came up behind Bin Laden and his two guards who were under attack from my Alpha squad which now placed them in a pincer attack. While they were busy they had no idea that I was behind them as they left their rear unguarded. I timed my shots carefully.... BANG BANG BANG! One shot to Bin Laden's head, and one in each guard's back. The mission was over, and I succesfully completed the task of Ghost Flanker for the day.

Here are some photos from that day: http://teamreddawn.webs.com/oldgames.htm

 

Since that day, we have played many games against and with AFWP. They are formidable opponents and great friends of ours.
