5th Paintball Battle (OPS BAMBOO RIVER 1) - 18 May 2008 - Tanamera

This operation was carried out in order to harrass our enemy at all their vital grounds. its basically a covert op with minimum number of personels and limited weapon capabilities. this small group was lead by Maj Icecool and consisted of 8 elite members frm the Thundering Bamboo Squad and 2 other fly-in scientists with no battle experience but they did carry weapons. Preparations had been made since H-6 where logistic unit back at home base busying preparing rations and troops had their final check on equipments plus transport mov to the RV point, way front.

Battle ration (soldiers can't fight with an empty stomach)

The ops started at 11am with 2 assaults onto enemy 1st vital ground. the 1st and 2nd battle took place in a virgin jungle with lots of cover where good communications and coordinations are the key point of success. the battle took around 1 hr to finish. both side suffered heavy casualties and basically it's a draw! we went back to our front base to reorg n refurbish our ammo. 3rd n 4th battle took place on an open area where we fought the same group of enemy again. they had retreated to a new location where it's their 2nd vital ground that they must hold to ensure their success in this whole campaign. we fought well and many of the enemies dropped like flies. flanking assault proved to be effective and so did the sniper team that are deadly and headshot all the enemies.

The sniper team (the dark glasses is top niche bino, 10000000xx optical zoom, frm earth can see ant's teeth on the moon with night vision capability plus distance reader, and gps locator ofcourse)

Covert team (flanking) and sniper team

The 3nd n 4th battle also ended up with a draw. its a tough fight for both sides and the enemy been forced to withdrew again ... into a new defensive posn which is at a hill in the ops area. we call it ramleeburger hill. went back to front base n reorg again. frm our intel, we got to know that the enemy had also reorg their personals and structure to suit this new ground. so for us, we broken down the sniper team where we sent our sniper to infiltrate the enemy. one of the team sniper guy became a spy for us. Thumb up for trooper Mocha for his courage! we managed to kill all the enemy in this location that involved 2 main battles in it. mocha sacrificed himself for our victory (he got killed by us during the crossfire). we manage to take his remaining back and clone all those parts that are needed to revive him back. he's now 100% his ownself again. purple heart for him!

Ops Bamboo River 1 is a big success for us. this is our 1st major ops together and most of us speak in the same frequency and we were able to bring down the enemy which are much stronger than us in term of combat experience and equipments. but one thing for sure, we do have better ration (thanks to the battle chef back at firm base, keep up the good work!) and its more relaxing and fun to play alongside with all the ppl that u know. our next bamboo ops will most probably a mechanise battle which Maj Icecool had written to the top ppl to supply us with our assault vehicles (4 in 1 vehicle). our assault vehicle will look something like this.....

Its going to be camoed
