After a non-vacation at the in-laws, last night saw my return to gaming. After getting pummeled in the year 2142, I decided to try my hand at POE. That had to be my best decision of the night.

Round 1 - Assault On Odessa

Hard liquor sounded good so I hitched a ride in the 5th's own cptCuervo. Joining us was the 12th's jb4, Jimmy_Jr, Ristin, & thagoat. We spawned "Apartment Building" and headed out to take "Housing". When we got to the flag, the USMC had already moved on. We capped the flag a set a defense. All was going well until Whiskey showed up in a tank. Whiskey's tank kept us tied up long enough for his squad to take us down. We spawned on the flag and recovered it for a time. This time the USMC brought more armor that spelled our doom.

We spawned at "Junk Yard" and repeatedly tried to make our way back to Housing. Armor resistance and persistent sniping made the road dividing Odessa a death trap. We successfully got the SL across once and momentarily capped the flag before being thrown back.

"Junk Yard" fell under fire and we were forced to stay and defend. After repelling the attack on the flag we set a defense forward of the flag and attempted to intercept the enemy's approach.
This defense concluded the round with the UKR winning 65-0

Round 2 - Dnipro

Followed an unknown SL to "AA Nest" and defended it. We got knocked off the flag a number of times and finally lost the flag near the end of the round. We lost, but I still had fun knocking some Hind's out of the sky.

Round 3 - Raid On Kerch

For this one, I decided to SL. Following me to victory was newmilleniumchrist, the 12th's jb4, thagoat, bucky_fn_dent, & rich73. I instructed the squad to spawn in at "Slums" and defend. The initial landing brought a fully loaded Little Bird. We repelled the attack and were feeling pretty good. Our team lost "Keep" and we turned our attention to it for the impending ground assault. An assault came and was repelled. A squad attempted to flank us on the SW by landing a boat, that too was repelled.

Our team retook Keep, but lost "Distribution Center" at the same time. We began to turn our attention to that direction when an attack came from the NW. Fierce fighting ensued on our West and a few attackers slipped in the front door to neutralize the flag. The invaders were swiftly dealt with and the flag secured. We were able to quell the resistance on the NW and went about re-setting our defense.

A few times, the choppers dropped some troops on the roofs to our NE. These grenade chucking annoying "nats" were pretty easy to deal with and thanks to revives, not to costly on tickets. One poor troop was dropped on the roof of the "Slums" only to fall victim to the BF2 game engine. All I can say is, do not go prone unless you want your feet to stick through walls. This made for a nice comical kill.

Our team traded "Keep" & "Distribution" a few times during the round, but the "Slums" never fell. Great job squad! UKR wins 143-0.
