Welcome all (who have signed up on the roster) to the First Annual War Games!
They will consist of many war-like games, and the first competition is a paint ball fight. Foot soldiers only in the fight, and weaponry will be provided. The weaponry provided are small, semi-auotmatic paint ball guns. Each soldier is issued 100 paint balls, and can have no more then that. The game will take place in and around the long destroyed city of Saznak. This is home to many ruined buildings, providing great cover. It is surrounded by plains on all side, which provide next to no cover at all. In the very center of the city, there has been built an information tower. It has cameras which can see the entire playing area, and this is where any soldiers who have been shot have to come. The Emperor of Veranon, who goes by the name of (you guessed it!) Veranon will watch peacefully from this tower.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

All armies have exactly ten minutes to get away from the tower, and get to wherever they need to be. The last nation left wins the gold medal. Everyone, GET MOVING!

The Special Forces of Veranon bolted out of the tower the moment the timer started. Xander, the leader of the special forces, switched on his walkie-talkie. "All men. Repeat all men. Move out and away from the tower. I want Squad A to take the center ring of the battlefield, and Squad B to take the second ring. Squad C, you take the last ring. And Squad D, you reinforce other teams as needed. If I am taken down, the Squad D commander will take over command. Good luck everyone. Just remember. Squad A has channel one, B has channel 2, and so on. If you want to contact everyone at once, then dial yourself into Channel 5. Alright everyone. Over and out."

The 100 strong Calizorinstan Marine's bolted out of the tower with Col.John Macked, they got down behind a fallen section of a wall and said "Listen up lads, the Special Forces of Veranon are probably going to take these key point's, the center of the city, and they might try and take some of the ring's, but we must flank them, and thus we must get to the center of the city from the south side, Squad A follow me, Sqaud D, take those houses to our left, and Squad B, take the old factory 1 mile in the city from here, good luck men, and godspeed." He got up, grabbed his paint gun, and the walked/ran towards their desistanation, but he kept aware of the surroundings, cautioning his men to run from cover to cover, so that they could get their without being shot, and being quiet as they could.

Xander took a few glances around, and then quickly jumped behind a crumbling wall. He switched his talkie to channel 1, and began speaking. "Squad A, this is Xander. I need a status report from your commander." Xander then paused. The speaker crackled to life. "This is Squad A Commander Neiro. Xander, according to me, this is going great so far. Everything according to plan. The game hasn't started yet, but we have already placed our men throughout the center ring. We're ready for anything. Neiro out." The speaker faded. Alright. Stay put and wait for the horn." Xander replied into the microphone.

When Macked in Squad A took cover in the old building he radioed Lt.Ernie Mackintosh for a radio check, and status Erine replied "No enemy force's seen yet, although we think they could be in the center ring, we're all fortifed in the building." Macked said "Good Job Ernie, you've checked on all the squads?" Erine replied "Yeah, they're all in there spots"

John replied "Good, we're preparing a defense, so that we could have a good offense."

Emptying the building just seconds after Calizoristan's Marines, the Gurkha Guards strode, taking a nonchalant, but relatively fast pace. As they came to a halt, the leader of the group, Captain Kapadia gruffly barked his orders, in the Gurkhali language.

"Alright, boys. We've got quite a few competitors, so here's the plan: Each of the four platoons splits up, finds a different area in the city to wait out in. We'll try to let the other groups fight it out first, then attack them when they're worn and have taken casualties. Keep your radios on, but only use them if your location has been discovered. If a platoon is discovered, the closest platoon to them will come to their aid, but nobody else. Understood?"

"Yes, Captain!" was the resounding reply, as the men loaded their rifles with paintballs, grasped them tightly, and broke off into four groups. "Lieutenant Kupwara," the Captain shouted to the leader of the 2nd Platoon.

"Yes Sir!"

"I am joining with your platoon,"

"Understood, sir!"

John Macked attempted to look for the competition, from his well hidden vantage point in the old, mostly rusty house, he looked from the scope on his paintball gun, and then lay prone, for he knew that if he saw the Veronian force's or any of the other compeitor's first, he and he squad could seize the advantange of having a good hiding place. All of his squad's had loaded their gun's with paintball's so he didn't worry about that.

Laying down next to him was his friend Lt.Bob Bastelo who suddenly said "I am not seen, but I think I might see one of the competion's squad's walking down the lane, looking cautiously about, but didn't see them ." John cautiously peered and lay back down and so did Bob who whispered "Your order's sir?"
John signaled for 3 member's of the squad to come crawling to the window, and said "Bob, wait until they come nearer, pop up fire, and then lay down again, they'll be confused, but they'll figure out we're in the house, so Troy, you take the other's and guard all enterance's intot he house."

Bob peeked up, and the unknown nationality troop's came nearer, Bob and John popped up and fired their paintball gun's, and then popped down, and rose back up fired their paintball gun's, and popped back down quickly, and saw the paintball's fired from the unfriendly troop's splatter on the wall behind them, and they gave a breath of relif, and John radioed to Troy "We have a wild cow at the fence, herd him out." What this meant was ("Keep a close guard on the doors, we're on the second floor, just ambushed the enemy over.") Troy acknowled this in code "Roger, getting the whip and the horse) which meant "Okay, we'll guard the doors.", but they talked in code letter's so if the enemy was listening.

Squad B was heading down through the center ring and out to the outer areas when they were hit by the Calizorinstan men. "AAARRRGGGHHH!" Shouted one man as he saw the paint splatter on him. "EVERYONE, DOWN!" shouted Squad B commander Neiro Taklon. The troops flattened themselves on the ground, but too late. They were hit twice more.

CURRENT VERANON TROOP COUNT: 97

Then, when Commander Neiro heard the enemy rise, he got up quickly and got off at least 5 paintballs at them. Unfortunately, he had no idea whether or not they hit. At Neiro's hand signal, the troops wormed their way across the ground until out of view of the enemy. "All right, let's go!" whispered Neiro, and Squad B of Veranon sprinted off, into the second ring.
