You guys need to play Russian with us so you can be on the winning side of one Lion Claws event before you die.

LoL, I don't go to John Lu Ops any more to win or lose, I go to kill people and all that matters is I killed enough Russians to be classified as World War III : )

Seriously though, you guys did a good job of keeping up the fight in the latter stages of the day.  All those guys who wanted to pretend they were US Special Forces/Super Rangers couldn't hang in the latter part of the day and it showed big time. 


Review
My Biggest Gripes are:
1. As always with these types of games, after the first 30 mins we never know what our status is on mission objectives.  The game eventually turns into, lets just shoot some people and forces are squandered fighting to take areas that have no mission value.
2. On Sunday Russian Command gave orders to troops to ignore the use of 858 grenades which we were utilizing, calling them distraction devices only.  The Warnord/rules clearly defines them as a live action grenade and approved for use.  Not sure where the confusion was had but it puts a damper on the game play.
3. If you go to a game, you better be ready to hang for the whole weekend.


Pros
1. Had fun shooting at friends all day long. 
2. AO is still unique. 
3. For a change of pace had fun playing airsoft and not milsim.
4. I saw a lot of honest players out there and one hilarious not so honest player who was promptly called out by game staff for being invincible. I'll have to post it, got part of it on film.

Here's that video, it's a hoot!  Even the CO was like, "dude seriously?"  The guy was duel wielding pistols the entire run. You just got to laugh at the how comical the whole thing was.
