2fort5

After the game had initially been called off due to a lack of server, it was eventually decided to play on Zip's clan server. FtB were somewhat reluctant to do this, given Zip's reputation for unreliablity. :-) In any case, the game went ahead, with no spectators allowed (at FtB's request).

The first map was 2fort5. Representing Loki were Fenrir, Grimm, Z, Victim and Hetzer trying out our slightly different defensive strategy, amended after we were beaten by XF; and Karl, rj and Mic on the hunt for FtB's key.

It was a closely fought battle, with our defence doing a superb job. FtB never even got a finger onto our key. Our attackers were finding their defence very tight as well, but did manage to get the key a few times. Mic was the first to get a hold of it and took it to the top of the ramps, where he found himself on the wrong end of a pipe bomb trap. FtB went all out on defence at this point, keeping us well away from their key. Karl was the next to get away with it, but was unable to get it out of the basement. rj then did a good run and got the key out of the basement area, but couldn't get home with it. Karl followed up and got the flag, ready for a quick getaway, when the map finished. One more minute and we would have had them. :-) Oh well, them's the breaks!

Map result: Loki 0, FtB 0.
