So yesterday a few of the boys and I hit FTF to play a skirmish/mil sim style game and I have to say, rain sucks ass lol! For the most part it was raining fairly hard and everyone got soaked, luckily the crowd that showed up is a bit more experienced and everyone had their wet/cold gear. We didn’t do as well as I had hoped but that’s how things go sometimes. We lost the first game and the second one was a draw but I think everyone had a good time. I especially enjoyed the flanking mission Chris and I did, lol I got close enough that I could have thrown a rock into the opposing spawn point. 😉 I was pleasantly surprised that the repro PCU top I was wearing was waterproof, that’s quite handy.
I wore my helmet for the entire game and found it quite comfortable. I’m not usually a helmet guy but this one isn’t bad as it’s not bulky or heavy. The Wiley X glasses worked about as well as I could have asked, even though it was cold it was also very humid and they fogged up like crazy but then again everyone’s goggles/glasses did too. The Lipo batteries I picked up for the PTW and M249 also worked very well, I had no problems with the PTW and Chris/Marci had a blast with the M249.
Good game but I didn’t get to shoot enough, I want to play again already…

Playing with GoogleEarth and my Garmin ForeTrex 401, this is the path I walked. Yeah I got lost even when using the GPS unit, lol I shouldn’t trust my gut. 😉
