July 19, 2008 - Battle of San Juan Hill @ SplatBrother's in Virginia
Hopewell, Va. Battle of San Juan Hill, Splatbrothers Park
Awards: SOVA earns Most Valuable Team & Most Valuable Player awards
Event Pics
During a day frought with twists and turns, Southern Virginia Special Ops (SoVa) definately had
their fair share of them. Starting the morning of the game we found that what we thought to be the opposing team had just lost their general, due to a loss in the family. We went on to find that not only did they lose their general but also the centerpiece of his command, his own 20+ person team.
Shortly, after this becoming known, SoVa team captain "Aldva" was approached by Park officials to switch to the American side to help even out the playing field. While playing paintball is a great time, having a rout in the game, makes the game no fun for anyone. Paintball first, team SoVa accepted and was switched to the American side.
As the morning wore on, It became increasingly concerning that the American XO had not made it to the field. Player briefing was held, still no XO. (With the loss of the American general, it falls upon the XO to step into the generals shoes) Once again, team SoVa stepped up to the task and vonunteer to fill the generals shoes should the XO not arrive and to XO for the new general should he arrive. Luckily, just prior to game on, Pickle (OFU) the now American general did arrive.
While, drama like this is rare, it still does take a lot of adaptation to overcome. However team SoVa stepped up to the task. Although totally unprepared for its role in this event, fighting on the opposing side for which we had intended and fielding only a limited number of personnel for the event. SoVa and their American allies fought the entire day neck to neck against the adept Spanish army. To the point that just prior to final battle the point spread was only 30 points differance between the opposing forces.
The final battle, however did seal the fate of our endeavors. Although heavily outnumbered ( a large group of American players left mid day), the American forces staged several epic attempts, to win the battle. Courageous advances by "Bee", "Guppy", "Scarecrow", "ScubbaSteve" and other members of the American army were thwarted. Lending the final battle to fall into the hands of the Spanish.
Our hats go off to the members of team Anarchy and Enterprise for standing alongside of us once again. It was a long hot day and as in the past they once again have proven to be our brothers in arms. We shall look forward to many more events fighting alongside of them.
Many thanks to our American general "Pickle" for bestowing upon team SoVa the Most Valuable team award and the Most Valuable Player Award to our own "Scarecrow"
