Thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible. It was honestly the most fun I've had since moving to Michigan a year and a half ago, and the most fun I've EVER had playing airsoft.
The communication, field, sportsmanship, all of it was top-notch. It was worth every bit of the long drive there and back and I look forward to seeing you all again very soon!
For posting images for the images thread and future image threads. I'd use imgur.com. It allows you to post up full albums and lets view the images in their correct resolution. You also won't run out of bandwidth like you do with imageshack and photobucket.

Wow frickin Wow, What a great milsim event!!! I was running with the Goldwater Security Team. Kudos to everyone that had hand in running this event. All of the role players really added to the realisim of the event. The oil executive that we had to protect was awsome. He played the perfect arrogant Texan oil tycoon. I think we aligned with and back stabbed everyone on the field including the villagers and their banker. Hit calling was awesome. I didn't hear one argument that I can remember. The field and terrain was perfect for advancing and sneaking around.
It was amusing how our team could walk in and out of the other teams and talk our way right past them. Hehe
Thanks to all of the sponsors and venders. I came home with some cool stuff from Crazy cromags traveling candy store of airsoft.
I am so sore I can't hardly move today. I guess that means that I played hard. A lot of running, crouching, shooting and running some more for a guy almost a half a century old. Can't wait to do it again.

That was the best game of airsoft I've ever been a part of. Thanks to all of the refs, we knew you were there but you did your jobs so well that most of the time we didn't notice you. I'm not sure if that's what you were were going for but it was awesome. I can't speak for other players but to my squad it felt like we were actually fighting a war for the most part. The villager players were a nice twist on our expectations coming in. Thanks to AoK and the Fighting Tacos for putting on the best event I've seen or heard of. As has already been stated the lack of problems between teams was awesome. I saw people calling hits when they were alone and that's part of what made this an awesome game.

What can I say besides WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank to all who attended. We definitely set a record and a standard in Michigan, 261 people. You guys (and girls) played with the most honor that I have ever witnessed at an event. There were (literally) only two times I had to resolve a conflict and they were both towards the end of the day when as we all know tempers can start to flare due to exhaustion and irritability.
Thank you to Moped Man and the Fighting Tacos. All of you guys are awesome, anytime I needed something done all I had to do was ask and I could consider it done. It was nice to get to know some more of you.
Thank you Iron Angels for your superb role playing actions and capabilities. The Road Crew were completely mind blowing. I felt like I was stepping into a different world whenever I ever entered the village. Good job everyone!
Thank you Crazy Cromag's for coming up to your first Michigan event. Hope you had a great time and maybe next time you can get some trigger time in. Thanks Dr. Die for the awesome, awesome raffle prizes, it's not everyday that you see a Magpul Masada in a raffle. The MP44 was sick as well.
Thank you Ted and Cathy for allowing us to host at your awesome field, it was a pleasure and an honor!
Thank you to all the moderators for helping to make this event run as smooth as an event could possibly run in my opinion.
I will post final results today. I have a lot of notes and paperwork that I have to dissect in order to figure out the victor.
Out

this games was awesome. my first big game and my first mil-sim. i loved the civilians, they were so funny if you just sat and listened to them. gold water turned on us killed 3/4 of our entire team and captured piper. being one of the like 5 ghillies was pretty cool. i got off some pretty cool shots too. my two favorites were a quick scope on a M.A.D. rushing one of my teammates. my second favorite was in the second half i took out a goldwater member in the church in the mining town from about 70 yards. overall this was 10/10, need to have another big game there again.

I didn't actually get to play since I was reffing, but I had a blast! I was truly impressed by the sportsmanship of all the players there. Everyone was calling their hits and the game ran pretty smooth. Thank you Tino and Mopedman for letting ref with you guys today Next time I'm playing though because that splatmandu's field is absolutely sick! My hat goes off to all you who came and enjoyed this event. You were an amazing group with tremendous amounts of sportsmanship (which made my job as ref that much simpler) and to anyone who missed out on this you don't even realize how much fun this milsim was.

Where to start? ? First, thank you Splatmandu for hosting the largest airsoft event held in Michigan. The owner and staff of Splatmandu are the real deal. I don't know how to put into words how great (yes, I mean Great) you guys are. I drove two hours to attend. It was worth every minute. I can honestly say that I was disappointed when the event had to end. The entire experience went so fast. I was impressed with your field. It was obvious you have spent time and money creating a player friendly course. Thank you!!! Congrats to AoK for organizing an outstanding event. Top notch!!! The event was well ref'd. The maps were helpful. Having the vendors and repair services was well thought out and extremely helpful. I personally had three rifles repaired. Under normal circumstances this would have been a disaster. (Thank you Steve and Crazy Cromags very much....) The raffle and event give aways were another great touch... Those were outstanding prizes. Now to the game: I played on Team Mad and Pagan was our CO. I think we started slow. We were the last team to walk out on the field and Pagan (in my opinion) wasn't given enough time to get squads organized. Mad was also hampered by the fact that most of the team didn't have working comms. We had little radio communications as a team and it cost us points. By contrast, almost everyone on the Contractors team had radios. Despite this, Pagan adapted quickly and got us rolling, especially in the second half. He let us squad up, told us where to go, and got the reinforcements where we needed them. Good job Pagan.... Mad kicked ass, and we rolled over the objectives. As a team, we had good firepower and balance. We needed it. Dealing with the Contractors was, well, lets just call it an experience. One minute they are attacking a position with us, the next, I getting tagged in the ass by them. You guys have a great future as protection for some "Banana Republic" or some other Third World dictator. Contractors, you gave, "I am right behind you" a new meaning. Good job....... Piper, I can really feel for you. I promise I will light Spaz & company up for you at the Airhouse (LOL). Better yet, come on down with us & I will assist you as you light him up.... Before I forget: There was a young man on Mad wearing shorts and a white shirt. Don't know your call sign. Just want to say you were a hell of a medic. You have balls and brains. Big time props.... You kept a few assaults rolling.... Thanks. I would also like to mention the team members that executed the text book withdrawl when we were done assaulting the Contractors respawn after lunch. That was excellent teamwork, especially under fire. Thanks to Trae, Lars, Gimpalong, Spade, Trigginometry, and Kargoth. My sons and I enjoyed rolling with you and your buddies. I had good moments with each of you. Spade, also great medic work. I love working with you. Seriously, if you guys can make it to Breedland, we could really raise some hell. Finally, Tino & Munster: Thank you for organizing the event. It was obvious you put the time and effort into it. You made Michigan airsoft history. More than that, approx. 300 person from refs, players, and hopefully vendors had a good time, the chance to meet new people, and great memories. I know it sounds cliche, but everyone there was a winner. One Shot One Miss

I gotta say my favorite part of the day was taking a fire team of about 8-10 people and going in deep behind enemy lines(I think it was to the Devil's Soup Bowl). It was great being able to lead a large group without being noticed and finally attacking when we were ready to. Thanks all who were in the squad, I didn't catch your names but it was fun rolling with you guys Now if only we had a damn medic... EDIT: My unofficial favorite part was when me and Munster got a hug kill on Blue before the game ;D I have never seen a person so scared of a double hug

Toe-Knee:
That was harsh!!!!! LOL, LOL, LOL.
To everyone else:
I was unloading gear when we first got to Splat. Toe-Knee snuck up on me and wrapped me up and said: "Knife kill!!!" Scared the crap out of me.
Somehow some way, I will get revenge.............
Thanks Toe-Knee...
P.S. You do have an addiction........
