I finished "Patton, Montgomery, Rommel" late Saturday night, which was one of the best books I've read due to how many interesting details it puts in while still being highly interesting and readable, instead of just droning on.
Add on to that how on Friday we got the first actual snowfall of the year, and today I finally got up to Mercer for a wonderful winter match after a multi-month airsoft drought. Oh how I missed crawling around in the mud and snow and brush and... everything, trying to find a way to flank, a way to ambush, a way to outwit the enemy in full German winter kit complete with snow camouflage (recently dubbed "my Arctic Fox kit" as a play on my callsign, "Desert Fox" hehe). After some adjustments my MP5 was shootin' good out to about 40-45 yards, though when the wind picked up it would curve slightly, but even then it grouped all right. The third round was the only one we lost, but it was the best one to me. Lying motionless under a bush for 40 minutes waiting for the right moment only to have to get up and run 250-600 yards because the enemy squad's point man and medic had gotten taken out by my fireteam, thus leading to them cutting through the brush to avoid us (which they shouldn't have done since it was VIP escort, but who cares) and was making a break for staging. After taking out the two guys holding up the rest of my fireteam I almost caught up to 'em, but they simply had too much distance on us. Again, despite losing it was just great. Forty minutes of waiting, five minutes of running and gunning (mostly running). The reinforced, padded KSK combat pants I got for Christmas really came in handy when I had to take cover in the mud/slush/snow/anything really, haha.
Damn, I guess this became a miniature AAR, and I tried to keep things in a nutshell. I need to stop rambling so much.
