Operation Counter Strike

By: Zulu

This was a war that took place on October 3rd, 2003, the tenth anniversary of the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) and this war had the similar effects. After the last battles of the summer, the neighborhood had been tense. No one had offical control over the park and everyone held small sections. All of the enemy teams would always follow behind their leaders, armed with CPS 1000s, and act as bodyguards. Although it’s cold in October (I live up north), we planned an operation to ensnare the enemy leadership by launching a surprise attack. Members of the Delta Group (Me, Viper, Hawk) would capture the leaders while the rest of my team would hold a perimeter defending us. Continue reading Operation Counter Strike

This was the first real combat for my full team. We had prepared for months for this fight and we started setting up. We have a park in Natoma, and we setup tarps to defend the tree area of the park, also bringing a 28 gallon tub, 100 water grenades, and a water grenade launcher. We had all prepared. The enemy used their leader’s back yard as a base, complete with a wicker fence guarding the hose. They had also barricaded the other entrance, which was a fenced gate with a shed. The battle soon began. Continue reading Showdown of Natoma

We had assembled a base out in the park and covered it with tarps and had refilling supplies in it. Continue reading The Battle at Torkarsk

This battle was sparked inadvertently by my teammate, Snake. Snake had taunted how weak they were because we had supremacy for four years. They all quickly declared war on us at the wrong time. All the rest of my team was at camp, so it just was me and Snake vs 10 angry enemy. Continue reading The Battle of Natoma

Night Fight

By: Mitchell

(Based on a true story)

I was at Nick’s house with Aaron and Ricky when we decided to have a water war. I had to equip all but Aaron and the teams were an even 2-to-2. I had the only CPS and it was a Splashzooka. The other person on my team was Nick who was equipped with a MaxD-5000. The other team however consisted of Aaron and Ricky: Aaron had his XP310 and Ricky had all the waterballoons.

Independance Day

By: Rich

It was a hot summer day on July 4th… Yes, our Independence Day. Me <Rich> was at my friend Matt’s house for a BBQ. His little sister’s birthday was yesterday so there was a party. My family and his grandparents were there. Me, Matt, and his dad had just filled 200 water balloons without his sisters knowledge. Continue reading Independance Day

The French and the Germans

By: Frances H.

These are just 2 main actions which took place during this water battle. First thing to point out is that none of the people who played in this battle are really french or german and the teams weren’t picked out for any reasons of racism. Second is that both actions happened around my house which is built on a hill so there are 2 ground floors. OK, now the teams.

French:

Me(Martin): CPS1200 and a shield
Matthew: SC600
Lionel: SC600 (broken pump though, obliged to use QFD)

German:

Scott: xp240
Giacomo: xp310
Adam: CPS1200 (argh, I thought he would have used one of the weaker ones) Continue reading The French and the Germans

War Story

By: ctownsoaker

Every year, on the 4th of July, our neighborhood gets together and has a huge water fight. There are usually anywhere from 2-5 teams willing to play. The teams can range in size anywhere from 3-15. My team, with three people, has won the last four years because of our better tactics and firepower. WE usually win easily within a period of 30 minutes to an hour. But my story is about what happened last year. Last year was different because two teams combined to give us a huge battle. Continue reading War Story
