The Team play a domination game mode to control the map via domination points. Structured as 2 4-man fireteams, we play a very coordinated and tactical game with great success, winning both rounds by securing 2/3 and 3/3 points each time.

There's a lot of tactical gameplay on show, including fire & manoeuvre with the whole squad and within the 4-man teams, peeling along a battle line to better engage the enemy, and at 18:46 in the video a rapid assault into an enemy force that tried to sneak up behind us! Quickly pinning them with 2 shooters, the other 2 fireteam members peeled around to the right, bounding around the back of each other constantly, to close with and destroy the pinned enemy players.

We get into the Christmas spirit by playing Christmas-themed games!

First up, we successfully escort Santa's presents from their staging area up to his workshop for onward delivery, keeping the Grinch team at bay for long enough to successfully shuttle all Santa's presents in.

Then, we swap over, and lead a vengeful Grinch attack that interdicts the Elf team's efforts to move their presents up, before then launching an attack on Santa's workshop itself, overrunning it and claiming all the presents the Elves had managed to get in place.

That's a wrap on 2024 for us! It's been a huge year for the team coming together, learning and employing a new, more cohesive and more tactical, way of playing the game. Here's some highlights, and some bloopers, for the year.

We're looking forward to 2025, with plans to attend some more milsims and to keep working on our teamwork and coordination.

We've also written a blog post about our journey this year!

We're back in action at Section 8, playing a VIP extraction game.

A 2-man element succeeds in delaying the enemy team for almost 40 minutes, by really listening to the game brief and devising a plan that blocks a vital part of the enemy team's progress for as long as possible, and it shows what creative thinking around the game mode can do: we didn't just follow the order of the objectives set for our team, we intentionally set out to instead disrupt the enemy fulfilling their objectives instead, in order to buy our team a decisive lead.

Ultimately, this handed us the game, with our side securing both win conditions before the enemy could secure either of them!

Back to our home site at Section 8 where 3 of us seize a critical objective, only to find the rest of our team hasn't got the memo and has left us facing almost the entire enemy team, determined to take it for themselves! Good communication and teamwork sees just the three of us holding out against overwhelming odds for far longer than we had any right to.

The squad was in action at Area 66, playing the defending side in a game of "hold the downed pilot hostage".

Using a sniper positioned in a church tower to the rear of the front line, we were able to stay in constant communication about enemy movements. This allowed for the team to rapidly deploy against enemy build-ups and resulted in all the enemy attacks, including a major flanking attack, being turned back.

Good communication was the key to victory in this game!
