Feedback from Ben Op Phoenix Ben Harding mentioned Airborne Airsoft on Facebook in a post in NATO forces Ben Harding 22 June 16:27 Just echoing what Jeffrey Brouwer said earlier, many thanks firstly to all the Nato troops, whether as part of our own individual teams or split up on the battlefield after contact with the enemy and finding yourself next to an unfamiliar but Nato face we all to a man and woman mixed in superbly and did what was necessary to get the job done. At first we were confident that due to our group agreement of where the grid coordinates where and due to our prior planning we would quickly be in possession of the drone needed to secure our objectives, after visiting and searching these locations as well as gaining pretty instant Intel on the Jafar respawn it was surprising to hear back on the comms that the drone had not been located, what followed was an inspired re-search of the locations under heavy contact and a beating sun for our objective. This lasted over 2 hours but despite all adversity what we never did is let our heads drop and we all focused on the mission whilst at the same time inflicting a savage kill ratio on the Jafar leaving them struggling to regroup, at 1pm a strong force that had moved as a squad for an hour battled through ferns, hills and reached the perimeter razor wire before locating the drone in a spot not located by prior Intel but fed through in tiny drips by Kenny Airborne Nato Command and sadistic ringmaster that he is, you were cursed many times but without you as command it certainly wouldnt of been the day it was! What followed was a change in leadership due to my failing physical condition and a forced break for an hour as i felt as sick as a Jafar dog at that point, i left my faithful 2IC in Mark Collins in charge of the Barbarians and a vital comms point between the new Nato Zero Simon Lamb who took the reins superbly and confidently and made sure the drone Intel was secured by a snatch squad of Smoking Commandos and others from a dead drop secured by Intel, what followed in the afternoon was a re-energized Nato force that just said no to any Jafar requests of giving an inch and victory was secured by moving and securing the drone under constant fire for over an hour, at the end of the battle we secured most if not all of our objectives and inflicted heavier losses on the enemy than they inflicted on us and thats a great day at the office in my book! Going forwards to Op Firefly we welcome the return of Stuart John Usher and Tony Usher as Nato Zeros and we have drawn the game back from a 1-3 deficit to level at 3-3 and full of confidence and are primed to take an advantage in the Total War campaign! Lastly many thanks all the other guys at Airborne Airsoft John Fleming Matt Yates Arthur and Escher and the other new chaps and not forgetting Kieran Smith Jafar Command as it must be hard seeing your boys smashed twice on the trot and knowing its going to happen again at Op Firefly, get planning mate because we are starting to gel as a big unit and with the other guys we had yesterday who blended perfectly and had not played Longmoor before soon we will ultimately victorious!!!! P.S. We did tell you the night before how it would be, we never take the enemy or mission lightly but are confident if you give us a job it will get done!
