| Stinger was in a good position to cover the gorse, from behind the pillbox. Lee was pinned down by the arcing bursts of his M655 Carbine. Keeping low, he left the MP5K and returned to the treeline to pick up his SPORTER. Meanwhile, Wraith and Spectre had advanced up the centre trench, engaging Striker and Dodger. Lee fired over from the flank, forcing Striker to withdraw. The whistle blew and Chopper quickly rejoined the game, taking cover behind a large tree, behind the pillbox. PAPABEAR was just below ridge taking aim. Rounds were exchanged in a mad frenzy, Chopper squirmed to stay clear of the BB's. Wraith was lurking in the centre. Then Dodger signalled he had seen movement to the west, so concentrated on that area. In fact it was Spectre; he had moved into a holly bush 15m away. Chopper opened up at him, forcing him to retreat and keep switching positions. |
| Striker withdrew again, leaving Stinger on his own. Chopper was running out of ammo, his 2 X 600 mags where nearly empty. Dodger covered him while reloading. He only managed to reload 1 mag, but then TMA pushed up again. Striker was out of rounds as well, so Chopper threw his speed loader to him. Lee had got through the 240 mag and was just swapping to a 200 when PAPABEAR made a run for the flag. firing on the move, he was hit as TMF all turned their attention to him. Lee was now fairly pinned on the flank, so switched guns to the APS. Finding a bush with a hole through it, he lay prone behind the bush. Stinger put down a rapid series of bursts, yet his arcing pellets were only landing inside the bush. Lee took aim, missing Stingers gun by a couple of inches. Stinger took cover. Dodger signalled that he was going to try a dash down the west boundary. Striker moved to cover him and he set off. Getting level with Wraith, before he was spotted he sprinted towards the Bear's Bunker. |
| Followed by Wraith, at full tilt, his over trousers came loose and began to drop down, slowing his run. Not stopping to look back, Dodger, grabbed the flag from the bunker and jumped bahind the embankment. Dropping behind the ridge, he was safe from Wraith's burst, but forgot the bank dropped 3m sheer. Landing in the bog, he took cover. Meanwhile, Lee had dropped his APS and without warning sprinted out into the open, closing to within 15m of the pillbox. Hearing the chatter of Stingers AR, Lee broke fell, into a low dip in the ground, behind a stand of dead ferns. Saul had seen Lee make the move and closed in too. Reaching the pillbox, he leaned in and snatched th flag. The sling on his gun caught on the bunker but he fired 1 handed at Stinger (point blank) before managing to free himself. Dashing full tilt down the field, Stinger opened up, hitting SPECTRE, as he exited. Lee saw he flag laid in the middle of the field, but had no chance of leaving his position to get it, as Stinger loaded his last mag and finished off his 900 BB's. |

| GAME OVER. TMF 1, TMA 1 point. A DRAW. The game had been a nail biting 30 minutes, with both side getting a well deserved 1 point. TMF swapped ends and KK moved off to the Pillbox. grabbing some water and BB's, the TMA players congragulated TMF on their performance. At least both teams now had got off ZERO points. |
