bam4

The first map played was bam4, 8 v 8. Playing for Loki were Victim, Grimm, Fenrir, Hetzer, Goo, Strafe, Proto and Zel. The game started late as we had to wait around while Fang tried to get their players. Unfortunately they were only able to muster 7 people, so played 1 short. This meant they were never going to find things easy. Playing the game on One.Net meant that we knew we were going to be in for a laggy match, and it certainly turned out that way.

We got off to an early lead with a capture to Goo. We then scored a few more times during the game, but it wasn't easy. We got to the flag quite a few times, but we often could not get it all the way home. After 6 caps, we touched the flag a number of times again but couldn't come up with any more caps.

Our flag was also not as secure as we would have liked. The Fang attackers got to it a few times, but we were fortunately able to protect it until it returned to base. Near the end of the game when we were up 60-0, Fang did manage to get through our defence to come up with a well-deserved capture. Hetzer caught 11 Fang players in the game trying to use his big boom-box. :-)

This was an extremely laggy game making gameplay quite awkward at times, but nevertheless it was still a fun game and Fang did well considering that they were one player down.

Map score: Loki 60, Fang 10.
