24 Hour Tournament

BRAVO's intitial recon teams radioed to base. Section 1 had spotted movement on the PLATEAU and suspected it was a camp. Moving onto the hill near SNIPER ALLEY, O.D. was ambushed by Section 6. Monkey opened up, scoring a "HIT!" Dodger withdrew. While Section 2 had spotted movement near the SAFE ZONE. Section 3 moved down to help.

To page 4........

CHARLIE had adopted a defensive posture holding a wide perimeter around Scarey Corner. FACEMAN settled into the trench, near the SAFEZONE, with APOC 40m away on Bear's Ridge. NAPOLEON and CHURCHILL held the woodland area covering the fenceline and Foxholes area from the low ridge.

ALPHA were offered chance of a FIELDCRAFT or RECCE TASK. Choosing RECCE, they were informed that they would score 3 points if they could give a 4 figure GRID reference accurate to 50m of their opponent's FLAG.

Deciding to take the entire team, all 6 of them saddled up. They had plenty of mags and some water too.

BRAVO's section 2 (STINGER and STRIKER) moved in towards SCAREY CORNER. Using the low ground near the SAFE ZONE, they moved across the target range. Section 3 sat and waited in the treeline.

BRAVO were first to require a new TASK. Offered FIELDCRAFT or RECCE, they decided to go for the FIELDCRAFT TASK. This required the team to build a defendable position, which would be scored on cam and concealment, as well as how many players could defend from it.

ALPHA moved down to their old campsite (2000) sticking to the large trees. They looked around the FOXHOLES and could find no trace of either team.

CHARLIE lay in ambush, watching ALPHA 30m away. They kept still and held their fire. ALPHA finished their local recon and headed off east through the central trees. CHARLIE stood down and resumed their vigil. NAPOLEON was listening in to BRAVO's radio comm's after they had both switched to the same channel coincidentally.

CHARLIE's FACEMAN popped up from his hiding place and let his "PDW piglet" go wild. Firing on auto, he laced the target range with fire.

STINGER was "HIT!" (2:19) although STRIKER fought back, reacting well to the ambush. Getting a bead on APOC, he opened fire, scoring a "HIT!" (2:20) before bugging out along the ridge.

Section 3 moved forward and signalled STRIKER to back them up. CHOPPER moved into Bear's Bunker and kept FACEMAN covered while the others moved in along the ridge. After a heavy exchange of rounds, STRIKER (2:30) was "HIT!" before BRAVO withdrew towards their camp.

BRAVO had finished building their defensive position, in the gulley, near their bivies. it was a large wall of logs, 8m long, covered with ferns and other local cam. However, it was on the treeline and could still be easily seen. They were awarded 4 points by the Marshals. The RECCE team returned to camp.

After patrolling along the centre of the land, ALPHA moved into position on SNIPER POINT. Intent on their RECCE, they were ready to move in towards the GORSE BUSHES

BRAVO decide to send out another team to the PLATEAU. Section 1 were up for it and set off. DODGER was on point with O.D. second man. Seeing movement 20m downhill (a beany hat), O.D. signalled DODGER to take cover. Moving in to attack, O.D. opened up scoring a "HIT!" BRAVO grabbed their guns and came hurtling out of camp, moving towards Sniper Point.
