HARDCORE

CHOPPER spotted them and signalled to STRIKER to open up. Breaking the silence, heavy automatic stratled the BUSHPIGS. CHURCHILL was "HIT!" (1:15) and then STRIKER pushed wide. CHOPPER was still firing at FACEMAN's position and after a few seconds he was "HIT!" (1:15) aswell.

DODGER closed in on the flank and spotted a BUSHPIG. Firing a burst, he tagged ANDROID (1:15) with his MP5 SD5.

Moving in carefully, they checked that the camp was indeed secure and organised their equipment.

Flanking around camp in the dead ground, TMF moved in. DODGER stuck to the DAY/NIGHT boundary while CHOPPER and STRIKER moved through the gulley. Keeping low, they crawled into position. Nearing camp, they waited to listen for signs of the BUSHPIGS.

35m away, CHURCHILL and FACEMAN were reloading after several waves of BRAVO had run down their ammo reserves. They passed a bag of pellets between them.

PHANTOM and PAPABEAR set off from the SAFE ZONE, as independant SNIPERS. Wanting to cover the low ground quickly, they ran along the river bank towards the East.

ALPHA had now left the PLATEAU with all their equipment. SPECTRE was covering the rear and heard movement behind the team.

Indeed, STINGER began to follow ALPHA down the steep hill towards the river.

Once at Bears Bunker, Wraith signalled PHANTOM and SPECTRE onto the flanks to secure the entrance to the SAFE ZONE. SPECTRE spotted APOC 40m away and closed in quickly. As APOC ran to get his gun, SPECTRE lay down rapid semi auto and scored a "HIT!" (12:58)

STINGER had closed in now and got the drop on ALPHA wearing their bergens. 1 was "HIT!" (12:59)

SPECTRE and PHANTOM heard the firing and quickly responded by homing in on the burst. Seeing the long grass move 5m away, they both fired into the grass. SPECTRE scored another "HIT!" (12:59) on semi-automatic. Wasting no more time, ALPHA ran the last 40m into the SAFE ZONE, covered by the SNIPERS and exited the game.

Meanwhile, CHARLIE were still holding BRAVO camp and had repelled more attacks from uphill.

DODGER and RAZER had set off with their BERGENS to move them closer to the SAFE ZONE in preparation for the EXTRACTION task. Nearing a stream, they saw movement ahead and wondered who it could be.

PHANTOM had borrowed WRAITH's M4SR and suddenly burst into the treeline, 10m away from DODGER. Opening up, DODGER was "HIT" (2:33) followed by RAZER (2:33). Setting off again, the SNIPERS headed off into the undergrowth, near the GORSE BUSHES.

ANDROID had set off again, in an effort to infiltrate BRAVO's camp. Moving along the top fenceline, he approached down the DAY/NIGHT boundary. Moving under the first tree, he suddenly saw BRAVO's FLAG and stole the TAG unchallenged. With a smile on his face, he carried on downhill.

Keeping low, he approached BRAVO's camp. Seeing 4 of his opponents, he held his fire and stalked closer. Once within 5m he opened fire!

STRIKER, STINGER and LEMING were all "HIT!" (2:35) before CHOPPER managed to spin around and "HIT!" (2:35) ANDROID in the nick of time.

CHARLIE team had reorganised and moved into attack BRAVO again, this time from SNIPER POINT. A skirmish erupted, with DODGER, RAZER and STINGER counter attacking. Yet APOC was "HIT!" (2:40) by DODGER and the other BUSHPIGS pulled back.

PHANTOM and PAPABEAR moved into the GORSE area quietly. PHANTOM covered while PAPABEAR set up a trip wire booby trap, on a trail before pressing on towards BRAVO's camp.

CHOPPER had been on sentry and suddenly noticed movement 15m away, "CONTACT" he shouted, alerting his team mates to the new threat down hill. He opened fire and was supported by STINGER and STRIKER.
