Tonight (17may 03) we played a "Friendly" with SS|DR. It was agreed to have a mix of standard Obj & a couple TDM.
The results went like this

1 Hunt: Won by ~RS as Axis, no deaths (prob cos I sat this one out)
2 Hunt Won by ~RS again
3 Hunt SS|DR get one back
4 & 5 Extra maps of Hunt than agreed to, but counted em anyway, went one each. The last SS|DR won very well.
6 & 7 V2 Went to SS|DR, some great work by General Specific taking out 3 ~RS to win a map on his own.
8 V2, ~RS getting one back, mainly due to fB

9 Destroyed Village, TDM, ~RS take it 96-63. Didn't note the main scorers here, but recall I came last for ~RS, and being taken out by a TK nade from Rifty

Half time score: ~RS lead by 5 to 4
Teams swapped sides

10, 11, 12 ~RS Take out as Axis on The Hunt, some excellent sniping by fB and team work in general.
13, 14, 15 ~RS Again clean sweep as Axis, the last map due to sw cleaning up on his own.
Last map, Stalingrad TDM. Unfortunately some of the SS|DR guys had to go, so I called it off early. Score at that time was 42-4 to ~RS.
Final Tally: 12-4 to ~RS

Took a long time to get this match going (initially planned for three weeks ago lol), but finally we made it happen.
Thanks to our team, fB, sw, SaSSy, Rifty & Horvath
Big Thanks to the SS|DR guys, especially God for making the match happen.

Well it seems <|SS|DR|> have been beaten by the very well organised ~RS boys. We had some major issues with teamkilling with all of us involved with some tk or another

So in summary

<|SS|DR|> As Axis -

The Hunt: Couldve been a little more organised but still we managed to get some of our only wins here with GS, RedFred me DB and Scruge each taking kills. I think ~RS won this map by 1.

V2 Rocket Facility: RedFred organises us into classes and giving orders on where to go - signs of a true leader. DB sits back with MG giving Allieds a run for their money and me just looking like a fool again. We took a few rounds with an EXCELLENT performance from GS and his MP40

Destroyed Village: For the first 5 minutes we held a solid defence against the ravaging hordes of ~RS. Myself getting 4 - 1 in the first few minutes. Scruge with 6 -3, and DB with 3 -3. This was about the time their organisation and training took over and they became unstoppable. Bodys falling left right and centre to fB's Garand and many others perishing from fB and sw's SMG. Final Score 96 - 63 to ~RS. Special congrats to Scruge for leading the pack.

<|SS|DR|> as Allieds -

The Hunt: Me RedFred and Scruge inadvertantly all go sniper and leave GS and DB to fend off the enemy with their SMG's. After deciding the streets clear I cross on one side and spot sw who gets a bullet through his heart. Soon after about 20 bullets peirce my clothing and kill me instantly - dead. GS killing one or two before he too falls to the unsucumbing opposition. Next round see's us dug in and waiting for signs of enemy movement to draw a bead on - no such luck. The ~RS'ians are rooted to the spot and dont fancy moving. So on the assault we charge forward only to have our morale smashed like a antique vase by fB's unseen sniper rifle. Soon another falls before I finally spot him and charge him. Unknown to me he was covered from behind by sw and I get the old backdoor intruder in the form of an SMG. Last round we have a run of despair and throw nades at anytinhg that moves. Unwittingly GS throws a nade to where he saw some movement - bad idea. Doggy and Fred are caught in the blast and are blown to kingdom come. Soon he too falls to the sniper rifle of fB. ~RS cleaned us out and take all 3 rounds

V2 Rocket Facility: Now with ~RS morale at the highest all game they clean sweep us 2 rounds in a row. Nothing gets by the ravaging hordes of ~RS who can almost *taste* our blood. Small corridors make for alot of TK'ing and I kill a few teammates before the map ends. ~RS wins decidingly with all 3 rounds under their increasingly large belt.

Stalingrad: Morale breaks - we start raving and killing in between. Tis a disturbing sight to see good men driven crazy to the point of twirling round shouting "Hooraay!" and throwing smoke grenades at each other. Naturally I put them out of their misery and sought to continue the job at hand but soon the MG fire all around drove mt crazy also. I was soon down there shaking my ass in a cloud of smoke with DB, GS, Horvy, fB, sw, RedFred and numerous others.

Final Outcome: Score Unknown but it was an arse raping

Good work putting up the resistance we did though. Those were some of the finest lads ~RS has to offer and we were completly out classed

I'm going to organise clan practises every week now so we can eliminate these TK'ing issues

Great game dudes - and great game ~RS

Hello, and welcome to the ~RS Clans MOHAA Spearhead (SH) column. This will detail the happenings in New Zealand SH scene, as we've seen it, hopefully updated regularly.

Although highly anticipated, the pre Xmas online play in NZ would have to be described as disappointing. However, the SH diehards have enjoyed seeing increasing numbers of players attracted since, including some MOHAA regulars.

Since the 2.11 patch was released, only two servers were available in New Zealand, GamePlanet A & B. Both these servers are limited to 16 players, which usually make for good matches but can be restrictive on some maps.

Last week we were happy to see the return of Xtras SH server, finally updated with the 2.11 patch. This server can hold 24 players, which as we found makes for some real tight Tug of War matches when its full. We think were going to have to get that teamwork going guys & girls!

One of the best nights enjoyment we have had playing SH was when a group of regulars decided to have a night out from the "action", and muck around taking screenshots. Many humorous antics followed for example suicide by barbed wire, execution via AA gun, Charles Manson style schooling, schoolyard brawls, the list goes on. Even a new one to us, we found the hangar doors on Flughafen map ideal for squishing players Certainly a nights entertainment we must repeat!!!!!

Last Tuesday night saw a great FFA match, mainly regulars from MOHAA on one of the Gamplanet servers. Although played hard, it was in a great, friendly atmosphere, to the point a certain regular allowed his 4 year old to get a taste of the action. During the next fifteen minutes that followed, this young player even managed to get two kills. We wont mention who these unfortunates were (eh Axio aka Charlotte???).

This last week also saw the appearance of a very well known ex-MOHAA NZ regular, whom seemed to enjoy himself and promised to return. You know who you are please come back, youll be gladly welcomed among the SH regulars!

On a more general comment, those of us regulars whom play both MOHAA & SH see one great difference between the games regarding player behavior. In our opinion, apart from the very occasionally exception, abuse of players is virtually non-existent in SH. For those of us getting sick and tired of some of the antics from more immature players in MOHAA, this is a refreshing change. Whether it is the threat of a more robust voting system or something else remains to be seen, but long may it continue.
