The bushpigs followed up with FACEMAN in the centre and APOC, with Lonepig swinging up the west flank. Making it into the gulley, APOC sighted PAPABEAR and opened up, hitting him.

Wraith replied quickly, hitting APOC. But was pressured by Lonepig, high up on the boundary. Wraith moved around behind the bunker, putting down some rounds. All of the shot out TMA players watched from meters away. Discussing a plan, they chose which way to move on the whistle.

Wraith had done well and held the Pigs at bay. The Whistle blew and the TMA players scattered in all directions. Wraith had locked onto Lonepig and now got the tag. "GO! GO! GO!" APOC had failled to make it back in time, so was now out of the game. Although ANDROID rejoined and set off to flank.

Lee pelted headlong down the east flank, for the last time. Suddenly, he spotted ANDROID, 40m downhill. Android lay down some rounds, forcing Lee behind a tree. Just like encountering MADMIKE here earlier, Lee watched the shadows in the grass.

Spotting movement, he leaned out, seeing Android sprinting forward to a tree. He let off a snap shot. "HIT!" said ANDROID. Not wasting anytime, Lee charged down to the bottom of the treeline.

The rest of TMA moved down the trench, looking for FACEMAN's Bushpig. Lee saw movement in BEAR's BUNKER and sent in a couple of shots. "He's in the Bunker!" yelled Lee, "Move up!" FACEMAN lay down an accurate burst on Lee, forcing him down.

Moving from the bunker, FACEMAN moved into the deep trench 5m from the flag. "He's in the trench." advised Lee. Moving down, Wraith spotted movement and fired some suppression of his own. "Move in!" shouted Lee.

SPECTRE and PAPABEAR heard the call, so pushed up quickly, covering the trench.

Getting up from his position, Lee sprinted over the field, to within 10m of Faceman's position. Faceman was in a deep trench, so all Lee could do was hold his APS above his head and try to fire over the ridge. Faceman was returning fire up the trench & Wraith. Lee fired.

"GUNHIT" shouted Face. Lee couldn't believe it.

"Get the flag!" shouted Lee. Spectre carried on his attack and snatched the flag. SPrinting uphill with a minute to spare, TMA had won the game and the Tournament. What a climax?
