I want to be the first to give a Shout Out to Werewolf "You are the man! The Boy was everywhere, he brought in the shipment, he helped take the Airport, he brought in the Pilot and believe it or not I looked up one time and saw him jump over a fence and then right into a window. Way to go man you sure brought a lot of points to our side and fought well for our cause." (not to mention the launcher, lol)
I want to thank Dread, although I didn't see you on the field much the enemy know the meaning of dread, lol and I know for a fact you and your group held down your sector "all day long."
Big shouts out to Krisis and the Rats, great job on that first assault on the Airport(American Base~Fire Base Alpha) it was nice having you guyz holdin down my flank and shootin over my head while I lay on the ground catchin my breath, lol. Also thanks for running missions for us and hittin the enemy when they least expected it.
Team Boxer and FireTeam: Phoenix, thanks for sticking to the plan I know it got boring at times, hopefully the fire fights you got into were worth the wait! "Great Job Guyz I'm proud of you!"
To the Walk-ons and Conscripts, every Army needs someone to do the dirty work, to be the good soldier and you guyz did just that. "And believe me the Command Staff saw it!"
Over all I had a great time(even if it almost killed me, my whole body is crampin, lol)
Thanks Again Team!
XO Somalian Army ~ BHD

Wow, It's tough to follow-up on Runaway's comments but I'll try...
First A BIG SHOUT OUT to Rogue Cell.... Runaway has all ready extolled the exploits of Werewolf so need to recount them here... But those were big points he brought in,.... what can you say... but he also did some things that are needed to win but dont get noticed... Like establishing a security perimeter aroud the CP and taking rear security himself during the final battle.... had our opponents been a bit more determined that would have been one of the most critical moves of the day.... So thanks man!
Dread, I know your impulse is to mix it up but you stepped up in taking charge of Team Dread... you know a brother has got it going on when people start using extensions of his call sign.... I had to chuckle when two of the walk-ons that were on your squad started calling themselves Dread-1 and Dread-2, but it said a lot about what you were doing on the field. You know what the biggest testament to your leadership was? When you left the field that squad continued to function as the Dread squad. Even though you were gone THEY STILL CARRIED ON WITH THE MISSION ASSIGNED TO THEM! Think about that? Were not talking about a formal team or even a group of guys used to playing together, were talking about a bunch guys thrown together for the first time (conscripts as Runaway calls them). That struck me as something very interesting to note.
What can I say about Saint, Otto, Team Krisis and their allies the RATS... Them cats lived in the American base... I have to admit they were up there so much I was wondering if they were going to switch sides! I guesse since they originally wanted to play on the American side they figured that's as close as they could get to it... But as a general, having an experienced team like Krisis to work with is a blessing. Especially early in the game when we were still getting our act together, you guys were critical in helping us to stabilize out defensive lines as well as getting that first mission under our belt. Man I hope we can team up again in the future because I'd sure hate to have to play against you (all though it be a great challenge!).... One last thing, I have always been aware of role playing at scenario games (not my thing) but you guys showed me how it's done... Thanks for bringing your ideas to me and working out a good plan, especially coordinating with the Refs... While your gambit did not garner us any additional points it sure was WAY COOL! Outstanding and job well done!
Team Boxer and Pheonix! What can I say. You are definitely my PEOPLES! You guys were the glue to eveything we did. Without your help and leadership there is no way we could have maintained as cohessive a force, especially with the walk-ons. Your dicipline, communication, and attitude were THE critical element to our sucess on the field of play. Just a few shout outs!
Marco, you are a one man wrecking crew! The thing is, you don't shoot much paint with those two pistols but you are everywhere on the field. You were my deep recon and was feeding me great information all day.... 6 feet from the enemy general and they dont see you.... Man it doesn't get much better than that... You were the trigger for the first take out of the American base. It was you intel that drove me to launch that attack. Then you got your hands on the American pilot.... Then your positioning in around new town, sneeking and peaking, feeding me info on the American movements allowed me to quickly reposition forces to blunt their pushes... Hey man you ever spent any time with Marine Force Reconaisance? If we had a Most Valuable Player, you were it!
Dana, you and Pheonix were doing it all. What ever role I needed you guys to play you made it happen. I know it got crazy for a bit with me having you run here and there but that's part of the FOG of WAR... Be advised (and I know Runaway feels me on this) Pheonix is going to be the fulcrum around which Boxer revolves. So you, Killa, and the other Pheonix guys got your warning order: Be prepared for heavy action in the future.
Bam Bam and Kong, first Kong let me apologize for repeatedly calling you Bam Bam, you know how you guys are so much like twins.... But when I needed ad hoc field commanders you guys steped up and held it down up near Spool Town. Great job!
I can't remeber all the names but there were a few others, like Motrin Man, who just stepped up and stepped in when we needed it. Thanks to all of you!
Let me just say one thing about the walk-ons. Often, those of use who play who are fanatics and obsessives about our game sometimes forget that we were once walk-ons to. But this game proved to me that when you make the effort to get them involved in the game whether running missions or just making sure they understand whats going on, it makes a big difference. In my eyes, the players we had on our side were haulin and ballin just like everyone else and WE COULD NOT HAVE PREVAILED WITHOUT THEIR HELP.
Let me bow down to my XO, Runaway. Man you were shoulder to shoulder with me on this thing from day one. The prep work you put in with me, mapping and walking the field. The time we spent discussing strategy and tactics, your organizing of Boxer and Pheonix in support of the effort, working with Clyde in getting thr pre-regs done. Then on game day it was game on. Bro I KNOW I had you running, but every good commander needs a second that is willing to do the difficult unpleasant things. I know running up and down Buffalo was a b@$%!!, and I know you sacrificed your game to make it happen (not to mention a few gallons of sweat) but you were my ROCK, when things got tight I knew were I could turn to to. I look forward to our Partnership in the future. I think we can do some great things together Bro, THANKS!
I have got to say thanks to Clyde and his staff at Gold Diggers who were very helpfull. Especially letting Runaway and I walk the field one Sunday while the field was closed.
Thanks to the Hun (Recon-1) for the recommendation to EPIC.
Finally, thanks to EPIC UNIT for the opportunity to General my first scenario game. From were I sat you guys ran a great production. Especially hearing our feedback on the helicopters and taking steps to make that particular part of the game more fair.
I had a blast, especially since we won!

Well it seems that I've been saying this a lot over this past weekend (only I'm not speaking into a radio) "No Problem, Command!"
It has been an honor to serve with you, your willingness to listen to all people great and small was the difference. We had spoken on making sure that every asset (my conscripts/walk-on) should be tested and used to ensure one that (and most importantly) they had fun and two that with proper leadership they be trusted to hold the line at the most difficult times. That was a stork of genius when you field promoted people like Dread, Kong, YellowJacket and BamBam and had them command or trail other units and groups so that at least if you had people who refused to follow the plan you would at least know where they were so you could use that Intel in your overall plan. "Beautiful!"
It seems we spent many nights playing mind checker, coming up with attack and counter attack plans with one another but it was all worth wild and I enjoyed every moment of it. By the way thanks for the exercise of Saturday as well, LoL.
