This was my earliest recorded battle's peroid of events it was a hot June day in 1994. My cousin (Who is now Commmander of one of my current detachments of 6 men) had us all gathered at his house a block from mine.


........Being only 10 years old I couldn't hold any more than a SS 200. Mostly every one had SS50s except myself at my Cousin. He had a new soaker. It was part of a new series called Xtra Power. He had an XP 75 and an SS 300. I feared him but since he was on my team I felt strong wielding my SS 100. I was ready. The teams were as follows:
Red Team:
Nate my cousin: XP 75 SS 300
Me: SS 100 and SS 10
Roberto: SS 60
Yulta: SS 50
Thomas: SS MDS
Blue Team:
Wank: SS 40 (ROTFLMAO this guys name LOL)
Rett: SS 50
Johnathan: AK Center fire and RPG water laucher
Trevor: SS 50
The battle started when as we were taking our positions Johnathan shot and missed Thomas and Nate asked me if my 100 could hit I said maybe and fired. Complete and utter miss. That guy was fast. I couldn't hit him at all. But after Thomas ran up behind cover and accuratley knocked Rett out. But not much later Wank's (LOL!) SS 40 had him out on his exodus. Nate ran up to Wank and got him with a chest hit with his XP 75; he then cleared out or should I say scared out the 3 guys who were mad at him for gettin their leader with his 300. I gave him some covering fire with a pulsing stream from my SS 100. They started to move closer in. Because water balloon warfare wasn't fully developed yet there was only soakers. Jonathan had an AK Centerfire from Entertech I envyed him because they were discountinued before I could get one. Later Jonathan and Trevor doubled teamed Roberto and we lost another higher powered soaker. Jonathan knocked Yulta out with his RPG and I wanted revenge I told Nate " I'm going to go get Jon for knockin out Yulta" he nodded in agreement. I jumped up and sprang for the tree nearby. Jon had around 4 clips in his pants for his centerfire and mean't biz. I knew that. I decided to just go all out and shoot as I ran across the street. It worked. Jon was reloading his Centerfire as I ran and before he knew it my 100's stream along with a few small streams from the 10 nailed him. Nate and I charged at Trevor and he put his SS 50 down and we soaked him. It was fun and I hope this survives for the years to come.............

Well it did and this is only one of the storries in my collection. My favorite and the most popular among my recruits is the story of team Red's first 2000. I even have the story of when we went to the store and got it. But still I love doing these kind of things and next week I'm posting a story of when The Full Force of XPs came out in the late 90s.
Thanks for Reading and forever...
SOAK ON!
