Realvapejay Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yes, you read it right folks! This was a 1000+ troop Naval/Air battle of epic proportions! After the 3 big leagues had allied to take out a major player in isles,.. we had 3 days of clean up, arts'n'crafts, knitting and maybe some bbq'ing,.. life got a little boring so we all decided on one giant naval/air battle. leagues involved: YeOldeGuys (450+ units), 64warriors (250+ units) and Jedi (300+ units) (can't forget the honorary OldeGuy for this match - Mabus from GODz - 50ish? odd units) so, we had 3 days to build a massive naval armada, air included. So we built! settled for a location and a time: 0d21h was the start time, so we had to declare war at 0d22h on the game timer. Jedi was running late; when the battle started it was just YeOldeGuys and 64warriors. Huge props and respect to 64warriors for toughing it out against overwhelming numbers! Pics 1-10 Out of no where there's a 64warrior flank that took a chunk out of the huge armada that faced them. Pics 12-18 It was amazing to watch even though they were outnumbered by 2 to 1 All the meanwhile with Jedi, (late to the party) was setting up "The Wall", which consisted of many, many higher level troops than what we had. Pics 19, 20 & 21 we were running with Quantity in mind, while Jedi was building Quality. We were mostly lvl 1, some lvl 2 and a handful of lvl 4/5 units. Jedi had many lvl 4/5 troops with a good mix of other lvl troops. After the battle with 64warriors, we jockeyed into position to face Jedi and see once and for all if Quantity will outmatch Quality! The reference to the movie '300' came out. As they were outnumbered still by at least 30-40%. One of our guys was really excited, or the brakes stopped working on his power scooter... and well, he lasted about 5 mins up against "The Wall". The rest of the Armada followed and clashed up against Jedi! Their higher lvl troops where picking off our units off like a carnival game! Pics 22-31 They also played very smart,.. made sure all the cruisers were gone, then unleashed every bomber they could carry on the rest of our ships! Pics 32, 33 & 34 It was nearing the end and was looking like Jedi was going to win over this battle when the late-comer-honorary-OldeGuy Mabus swoops in for the final blow. Pics 35-41 In the end, YeOldeGuys was left with just a handful of ships... EPIC! Mabus came out squeaky clean, lol. Why was Mabus an honorary OldeGuy? Well, he ended up on our isle and was completely boxed in,.. and he's also Canadian,.. and we're nice guys and like to help people Instead of playing solo, he played as an OldeGuy helping where he could and we helped where we could, definite team player! Mad props to Jedi for putting up the wall and smart plays! - shows that Quality and Strategy can out play Quantity in the right situations! Mad props to 64warriors for taking it in the chin like men and falling with absolute grace and dignity! Outside of the boring 3 days after taking out the biggest threat; being able to co-ordinate 3 leagues to work together, and how we worked together to take down the lead threat was amazing. The incredible sportsmanship to have an amazing big battle was just EPIC, and made this BF, one of the most memorable ones we will ever have! Thank you to all who took part and I hope you guys can live through our experience with the pics I took! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 This is one field that we will never forget. Shout out to the guy from Jedi who proposed the idea and to the guys at YeOldeGuys for organizing it. It's true we were late to the party but hey, the battle was well worth it. It just goes to show that alliances are not strictly for the purpose of not getting attacked, or helping each other out, and that there's a lot more to blow up than cities. I also got some pics from the Jedi vs. OldeGuys battle. I was the guy in the back lauching level 5 strategic bombers at OldeGuys, they don't call me CommanderAirborne for nothing but it just goes to show that with enough firepower, cruisers and reinforcements, even navies on the verge of collapse can win. I thanks every participant for making this battle one to remember and I hope to see you guys again on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
