i'd like to thank everyone for making my first general role a great one. i'd have to say i left the game taking tylenol for the severe head ache lol. this was unlike anything i've ever tried to do but there is always a first for anything, and i'm glad i had to go against slinky for my first general as well.
first off i'd like to thank my teams A&B, SOVA, SSK, and any other teams i forgot to mention. i really could not have gone as far as i did without you. thank you for your hard work
id like to thank my XO Trapper Davis for being such a great help, giving me his 25 year of expertise, and letting me pick his brain about every single rule before the game.
next my refferee staff. you all did a great job without you i would not complete my mission, get the op for called out, run into striaght solid ropes of paint the help people, and all the work you do on the field.
my opfor, you guys gave me hell all day, staying at my CP intercepting my mission teams and most of all blocking my forces to get to YOU CP we got through any way but the fight was valiant.
general SLINKY, you are a great general, great tactics, and over all a great player, it was an honor to fight against you and hopefully you could be my xo at another event or vise versa. congrates on the win.
this was a great game for me and if asked to do it again i'd say yes.
thank you, traffic

Can anybody believe how cold it was yesterday? Having grown up and cut my teeth playing paintball in New England I can honestly say that was one of the coldest days I have ever spent on the field.
I can honestly say that were we not the "House Band" we probably would have spend the day INDOORS! Those high dollar electros did not like sub freezing tempratures.......
I will say that the Premium paint shot dead on all day. Great stuff. It wasn't the paint that let A&B down, it was the guns. How do we know? We would put the guns in the running cars for a half hour and they would shoot great. A half hour after we took them out........Gummed up junk piles. Gun lube just doesn't like single digit temps!
LOL, we did the best we could. It was a very hard fought and back and forth day and a fun game, all things considered,
Ronn and Don, Great game and Well done. The production and management of the Classics series will be just as good as the RAW series was. My thanks go to the worlds greatest sponsors - THE SPLATBROTHERS!
Jessie, Justin, William, Dylan, Duct, Ronnie, Joe and the rest of the park staff. Thank you so much for braving the cold alonside us. The ref crew and park staff are unsung heroes of these events. We appreciate all you do!
Traffic you did a fine job for a first timer. I hoped you enjoyed the edperience. We'll run with you anytime Chase.
Slinky - Nice job! Well led and a well deserved victory. Hope to share the field again with you soon.
To the French Army and Huron Indians- We look forward to playing with all these teams again soon and if I apologize for not remembering all the teams but between some short range shots to the noggin and freezing my ample butt off my memory is junk!!
To the British Army - Nice job and well done. Can't wait to play with you all again
With that, Assault & Battery puts another 8 Splatbrothers scenario game in the books. We've made all of them and we think you should too. Great games and great times. Thanks everyone!

Traffic....I must say whole heartedly, "Great job!!!" I was impressed with everything you did as General (...and trust me, I hung pretty close to the CP just in case!). Very nicely done! Congratulations on both yours, and Slinky's first General role. Both were played well, and both did well under pressure. I would consider Mohicans a "Win" for both of you.

I would like to thank EVERYONE who came out this last weekend to endure what was the coldest day, I have ever spent and intend to spend on the paintball field!
Good Friends always equal good times, no matter the situation.
Hats off to Traffic and Slinky both, a well fought battle throughout the day. I personally made multiple treks across the field in both directions.
My hat in particular goes off to the players on Rats I ran into. Stand up ballers each one! Not sure thier names, but one got me from behind as a pilot and the other two I took out from cover behind the towers. These guys showed great sportsmanship in every encounter I saw and both times they could have easily taken advantage of the situation and didnt.
Ronn & Don, thank you for providing a well played game and going the extra mile with the paint. You can't change the weather.
All factors considered, I personally had a great time and will look forward to slinging paint alongside of any of you, next time out!

Paint was great, I used My old 68 AUTOMAG and broke 1 ball on the other hand I can't say anything good about my hopper it acted liked it wanted to freeze up, should have used my old view loader that's about 15 years old, it would have worked, Thanks Bobby Weeks for selling me the Automag, many, many years ago it worked well in the cold. I didn't even try to use my E-Mag all though I think it too would have worked just as well. As I said kotos on the great paint. Great job by both of the newbie generals. maybe the Feb. game will be a little warmer, Yea right. We camped out Friday night 4 degrees, now that was cold. Great job Generals, 2 more generals to add to the general pool.
