You guys did not have to take the "walk" to the North German Base. That or wait long periods for a tram.

Not exactly a huge advantage compared to the German South base. I made the walk too many times to count, and I exercise frequently 2-3 miles 2-3x a week, and it got OLD. If you were not in shape, you would have been "burning" making that walk, so I assume many Northerners were delayed in transport.

Also, as Havok so kindly suggested, you did have a distinct advantage in armor. Sadly, it seemed as they did not have dedicated teams walking those tanks which could have blown the whole game wide open.

Great game nonetheless. Very hard fought battles on the Northern Side the whole time. We would make a very hard push, lose reinforcements and have to battle back again. There were a few times I could reach the Roman Fort with my paint, but had no forces to really help out.

Jedi and the Gun King$ did a very good job of leading and general kicking tail so others like myself and other RidgeRunners could make big pushes into their lines. Gangster (James) and Jason, when we all got together during that one push it was simply amazing. Very good play from many of the teams on the NG side. Never got much action into the south until the final battle, where I come down from Bastogne and was picking off Americans like crazy while they were completely consumed with the GS team. Too bad I did not have more paint, was about out with 5 minutes and it was such a target rich environment!

Damn straight bro!

Im sitting here on the couch with my laptop watching keen eddie and after reading this my mind flashed through just 5 mins of the final battle.
I snapped back to what i was doin and realized how true this is.

It was definitely a great game! To have the margin of victory be only 4% is amazing.

K Guys, I'm about to start upping the photos. About 445 shots of play and overall camp and activities. I didn't get as much action shots as I'd have liked to, but the way my camera was taking hits made it justifed to me... (BTW, Suicide... you are the man... the spirit is there! Thanks)

Here's one more warm up... This is probably the coolest shot I took. One hit to the hand and tank cover at the same time another ball hit the...



Watch all the photos closely. There are paintballs hitting andbreaking, spinning fill and coming from barrel tips. Thsnka for letting me get in there!
