First off I want to apologize to everyone for Casey's actions (although he wasn't the only one). This WILL NOT happen again, mark my words!!!
Jumpout Boys 2 was awesome. I would like to personally thank everyone who attended. This was our one year anniversary event. There were people out there who said we wouldn't make it a year and here we are!
So what were your highlights of the evening?

I would like to congratulate Tino and Bill for taking something good (CQB Airsoft) and making it great! I have enjoyed every moment of airsofting and just shooting the breeze with you guys and I see good things ahead!
Jumpout Boys 2 was AWESOME! You guys never disappoint. Besides the unfortunate location of our first respawn and the side camping that ensued, the game moved seamlessly and NAUM never had a moment where a mission or objective was in question. Communication was great between the squads we assigned and that was KEY to complete our objectives! When Administrators (Tino, Munster) saw the action dying down and NAUM forces being bottlenecked into our main respawn, we were given the option of sending an insertion team behind enemy lines to mix it up (which worked quite well I might add). Later on NAUM was given information on a secret passageway taking us from a relatively safe location to nearly the rear of the building. All of Cry Havoc made runs back and forth all the way to Romeo section with what we called the "Underground Railroad" to sneak in all 4 money bags and numerous kilos. Later on we relied on the same passageway to flank enemy forces and attempt to capture T.E.A.M.'s C.O. a second time.
I loved the warehouse!! Perfect size for the amount of people attending. Not too little that people camped all day long and not too many where people would feel as if they couldn't move. Altough, MIKE section was a deathtrap coming from NAUM's side.
the NAUM/TEAM ratio was 1:2 and T.E.A.M. forces sure made us feel the pressure. I remember Chapel and I sneaking around Romeo section for some kilos and after being sighted we were greeted with 3 waves of 3 enemy squads trying to flank us. We hauled it past the enemy respawn and eventually behind the remaining enemy forces to take out a couple and even get a C.O. capture.
I had the pleasure of not personally coming in contact with bad hit calling although I heard it was rampant.
Although I am biased towards CQB games, I am going to call this my favorite "OP" of the year even above SW:2. I love playing with and against teammates because after the game we can all laugh about and chat about what went on as friends. This better be a yearly KZOO CREW exclusive event!

Ok...as commander of the Police Squad(SWAT)..i would like to thank all my team members for attending this event with the threat of bad weather and being brave to attend(you also TEAM and FED members) all you guys preformed your best under the circumstances that arrived. I have NO ONE to blame for my CAPTURE 3 times in row by TEAM&FED members(way to go guys) I got a little ahead of myself and did'nt stay within my Squad assist range to bail me out, Although i did notice one of my team members firing(SEV) at a certain someone who did not take their hit as he was dragging me to their Spawn point while i saw bbs bouncing off him as he was subduing me. Hit calling was an issue, but, i remedied some of those problems as i ran onto that situation again. I'm proud and glad that WOLF and CRY HAVOC was a force to deal with, it was an honor to play with you guys today. Team&Fed forces came out strong also and was a challenge to put them down. The scoring system was new to alot of players, but, i thought it was very fair and exact because it came from a diffrent perspetive than from the engaging teams. All in all, it was a great way to end the AofK anniversary year. Thanks Tino and Bill for allowing us to help your dream come true. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!!!

A little rain and snow won't keep Cry Havoc away! I finally made it home at 12am with a 2 hour drive that normally takes 45 minutes!
Also, My one regret is that we didn't have a camera/video man recording NAUM's first breach into the warehouse. EPIC stuff! 3 squads of 3. 2 squads stacked on doors and 3 of Cry Havoc taking the van to hit the main entrance. The synchronized breach will give me wet dreams for weeks.

This was one GREAT adventure and everyone who did not attend must attend one of these events. It was truely a fun time with great people. The whole Breech and roving guards was a great idea. The only one concern I had was certain people not calling there hits. But as the mission went on I heard more people calling there hits. I need to get myself on a team where we all communicate and use some better tatics when moving....communication keeps people alive. Even with it snowing outside it was warm in the building! Great JOB TINO and whom ever else helped to organize this mission. Cant wait to play again with you guys.

Ahhhhh, I love that place. I totally enjoyed this Opp.. Even at the start where my team got "stuck" in our respawn, there was enough cover to advance in some way, though death was probably coming soon. But hey, whats the fun in not taking the risk. I didn't notice hit calling being a huge issue. Me and I believe Chavo had a mix up with Maverick and Elmo but it went both ways and everyone was super cool about it. The communication on SWAT's side was rather amazing, I seemed to be the only one having to ask what was going on because my radio took a dump on me but that's my own fault. I liked how many objectives there were, there was always something to do.

Thanks for the kind words!
Winter games at big fields are always somewhat problematic on hit calling due to a few factors: 1. People are wearing layered clothing 2. People are taking longer shots on a big field..
Some of the judges also discussed that having full-auto helps to eliminate hit calling issues, which I agree with entirely.
But in my opinion, a good, sportsmanlike attitude is what goes the farthest in eliminating hit-calling problems. Giving the other guy the benefit of the doubt, having courtesy, and keeping a positive attitude...
We saw the good, the bad, and the ugly side of AofK at this event.
The Good: There were some epic firefights, constant action, and insane tactics being employed. It was "our brand of airsoft" all night long! I witnessed many instances of players resolving disputes peacefully. I only had to call 2 players out all night long and had to call zero parlays. The majority of players were gamers, came to play, and brought a great attitude!
2. The Bad: There were many players who were shouting obscenites and challenging opponents verbally. Thats a no no!
3. The Ugly: Casey
In my opinion, alot of the verbal stuff was a result of players being in an unfamiliar environment, after driving in harrowing road conditions to get there, and otherwise just being a bit stressed out...
But that is what a real combat situation is like..Stressful and unfamiliar. Extra Kudos to those who kept cool under pressure, fo, sho.
The Scoring System, I thought, really gave us a picture of the entire game. Its not perfect, but once everyone gets familiar with it, we will see improvements in all phases.
I am very glad to have been able to share "Our little secret field" with all of you. Thanks for playing.

Everyone my video is up! It may not be the greatest and lacks action scenes but other duties were called upon, like reffing. I tried putting everyone in the video but I couldn't because there was too many disputes/hit calling issues which I don't want to put in my video. But thats the great part of playing with the Crew even if you have a issue you can talk about it in the end! So next time lets just settle down and call for a ref www.youtube.com/user/crockettKZOOCrew?feature=mhum

I, personally, had a blast! I felt that, for the most part, it ran smoothly and the problems seem to be solved rather quickly.
It was also fun being a squad leader even though I was pretty nervous and part of that was because only me, Maverick, and a couple others had radios, but only my batteries lasted and no one told me lol.
I agree when Bill said at the end that TEAM/Federation stayed "dug in" more than be on the offensive side. We seemed very focused if not alittle paranoid (lol) about NAUM taking the warhead. I think we could've improved on that.
In the end, it was one of my favorite ops. I think that some of the best players at AofK participated in the event. So if you guys are running more ops like this in the future I definitely wouldn't mind coming back up to attend them!

I would like to say I am so glad I cam out. I wish I would have played but I enjoyed reffing very much! I want to say congrats to NAM, you guys did amazing. I was mostly reffing on your guys sided the while time and thought you guys worked so well together and kept pushing. Fed/TEAM you guys did great also, I just wish I would have seen you guys moving around more. But I did enjoy your guys trash talk to me The not hit calling and agrueing wasnt to well and I saw it on both sides so that we all need to work on. And remember boys its a GAME, just be glad you get respawns and arent really dieing. (Sorry if that sounded mean just saying) Also I hope you all enjoyed the cupcakes and the presents. I will say though the end to my night was the worst, seeing I crashed my jeep into a light pole when I got back. lol But I think the game made up for that. Again good job everyone!! Oh and Legend thanks for shooting me in the head in the game in the hallway of death, and to who ever shot me in the chest very much appricated lmao

I probably ate 7 of your cupcakes. I was very thankful for them when we got back and were half-starved! Thanks for the gifts, too. I am really glad you came out because we needed the reffing staff!
