Airsoft Action - December 2023

AA LEGION
PORTUGAL
up the dam to stop the Marines from advancing.
Knowing the terrain and collaborating with the other
team leaders we charted our course and headed
toward the mission location, avoiding the areas with
the most confrontations. Along the way, the guys
and I, who were on the left flank of our formation,
spotted a jeep moving closer and stopping; we
quickly identified it as the jeep used by the leader of
the Marines, so we moved in as fast as possible and
successfully captured them, getting more points for
our faction in the process. Even further ahead, we
found the location of the enemy command centre, but
for some reason it wasn’t an objective, so no points
gained (buuuhhh), we photographed everything and
moved on…
Soon after, we spotted the dam wall and moved
into covering positions while our Kommando Charlie
advanced to retrieve the explosives; although there
was some resistance in the area, we were able to
complete the mission, and that was the end for our
morning AO.
We got into the helibus and headed toward the
second AO, and this time it was an urban scenario.
Our main mission was to produce “Anthrax” using the
chemicals extracted in the previous AO, but first we
had to establish a laboratory where Pestawari would
start working on the production, then every package
produced had to be delivered to a drop point.
Unfortunately, that was pretty much it, and soon after
the AO became a huge stalemate with no faction able
to move in the field. Maybe it was because the field
wasn’t big enough for the number of players and
the game staff had to be divided because the Marine
Airborne group was also doing another mission away
from this AO.
The situation left many players with little will to go
on, and many Salamandras even complained about
the use of pyrotechnics (illegal here) from the Marine
side. Not wanting to lose control of the situation, the
organization ended this AO, and knowing that some
players were already tired and kind of demotivated,
they offered two options; those who wanted to go
onto the last mission would get into one helibus, and
those who wanted to get back to the FOB would get
into the other. Since Section Bravo was still going
strong, we headed towards this new mission.
In the helibus full of players willing to fight for
the Salamandras, Pestawari briefed us about our
objective. The Airborne Marines were being dropped
and were on the way to buy Pestawari’s “Anthrax”
formula from traitors within our faction, so our goal
was to stop them. When we reached the new AO,
we joined with the Drone Crew (a group in charge
of recording the game via drone) and with their help
we were able to recon the mission area. Luckily for
us, the Airborne Marines were still regrouping, so we
moved in fast and set up defensive positions. Not long
after, we got our first contacts, but the enemy had no
chance against our entrenched positions. So mission
completed; time to head back to the FOB and get
some well-deserved rest.
Back in the FOB, we got some grub, mingled a bit
more and went to rest. Just like last year, there was
an optional night mission, but this year we found the
mission a bit too penalizing to the Salamandras, so we
decided to rest.
“WE ESTABLISHED A PERIMETER AROUND THE TOP OF THE HILL AFTER ACTIVATING THE ATB
TO OUR FACTION AND WAITED WHILE RESTING (EVERY BIT OF REST IS IMPORTANT IN A
GAME LIKE THIS!). SOON, REPORTS OF ENEMY ATTACKS IN THE OTHER TWO ATB STARTED
ARRIVING”
