Awards and Recognition The Capital Offense Praise Continues!! The Capital Offense competed in Splatbrothers' Battle of Okinawa this past weekend and rolled over the competition., winning the "Most Formidable Opponent" award. 6-21-07, 15:00 EST, Washington, DC The Capital Offense is enjoying some well deserved R&R this week after steam-rolling the competition at Splatbrothers. Playing for the Japanese team, TCO laid seige to all corners of the field, earning the ominous "Most Formidable Opponent" award, which is given out by the opposing team's general. TCO was tasked by its' General, Rusty Lloyd of Old Man Militia, to hold the left flank of the field for the first half of the day. The Team stepped up and successfully held the flank from constant enemy bombardment. TCO was so successful that by lunchtime, the Team pushed beyond the city on the left flank and entered the enemy's Command Post area, the famed Towers of Power field. After lunch, The Capital Offense carried out their only special "frag" mission of the day, which was to blow a building within 30 minutes. Astonishingly, the building was destroyed by Capital Offense personnel in just 2.5 minutes after receiving the orders. It was the fastest "mission complete" of the day. After this victory, Capital Offense went on a seek-and-destroy operation on the right side of the Splatbrothers field, which is extremely dense underbrush. Operating in perfect harmony, TCO advanced in 2x2 cover formation with a sniper detachment some 20 yards in front on point. The Team flushed out enemy snipers and demolition teams and circumvented the enemy's CP once again for a major push that culminated in the entire Japanese forward units over-running the enemy base. Led by Capital Offense, the Japanese team continued its' momentum all the way through the end of the game. At one point, it appeared the US team would rally and catch back up in points, but the offensive was quickly quelled as Capital Offense worked with other excellent teams on the Japanese side, including OMM, Anarchy, and others, to push the enemy back to their starting station. Capital Offense starting shooter Don Berthiaume had a particularly good day as the Team's medic. His performance was invaluable to the Team's efforts. The Team's newest starting shooter, Andrew Dornhecker, brought his brother Kenny and friend Craig, who also proved to be excellent players for the Team. Andrew and Mike Smith of the starting roster also played "Pointman" during the day and did an excellent job. Capital Offense Command Post Journal June 21, 2007 More Praise for Capital Offense!! The Capital Offense has once again gained praise for its leadership and play in the recent Vietnam Patrol scenario game.  5-16-07, 12:00 EST, Hickory, NC The Capital Offense went to battle at the Command Decisions Wargames Center in Hickory, NC this weekend, playing the infamous Viet Cong forces in CDWC's Vietnam Patrol. The Team had another outstanding performance, executing the same tactics that made the real enemy a success during Vietnam - sabotage, ambushes and assassinations conducted through a hit and run insurgency. Two Capital Offense shooters, Jonathan D. Fazio and newcomer Andrew Dornhecker both won Most Valuable Player for their incredible play at the field's largest base. They both won the award because they took over the base together and held off over 30 of the enemy for more than 20 minutes, allowing the rest of Capital Offense to complete a secret mission without having to worry about enemy reinforcements. Congrats to both of them for a job well done. Team Captain David C. Thompson said "Both teams did extremely well and played with the utmost sportsmanship. It was great to see everyone playing the game the way it is supposed to be played. I especially want to thank members of Shadow Company, Rogue Cell, Lethal Paintball, Team AFC, and all the others who helped make it a great day!"  Capital Offense Command Post Journal, May 16, 2007 The Capital Offense Takes Top Prize From Blackcat Productions Capital Offense went home from its season opener with a big win and the coveted "Best Supporting Team" Award from Blackcat Paintball's 24 hour GI Joe Scenario.
4-5-07, 15:30 EST, Strasburg, VA Capital Offense kicked off 2007 with a bang by helping lead its team to a major victory in Blackcat Paintball's GI Joe scenario at Skyline Paintball in Strasburg, VA this weekend. Over 40 scenario teams were in attendance at the game, but it was Capital Offense that took home the prestigious Best Supporting Team Award for its work carrying out the scenario and supporting the "General." The victory was decisive, with the Cobra Team (of which Capital Offense was a part) achieving over 100 more points than the Joes (this is a major point spread for a Blackcat game). Although the score was tied at the end of Day One, Capital Offense drove hard throughout the night, accomplishing takeovers of every major base, fortification, and flag station of the opposing team by 1:00AM. The momentum continued on Day Two as Capital Offense acquired a special prop that, once armed and set, would eliminate all players that came within a 30 foot radius of the device for 25 minutes. Capital Offense wisely held onto the device until the final battle when the Joes had precisely 30 minutes to put themselves in a position to win the game. Capital Offense charged up the main valley of the battlefield, pushed the opposing team back under heavy cover fire and armed the device in the exact area the Joe team needed to reach - the result was that the Joes were cut off and strangled from their mission objective and could not achieve victory in the final battle. "It was a hard fought 2 days and 1 night," said Team Captain, David C. Thompson, "I'm just really happy with our Team and the effort they showed throughout the entire game. It was an incredible display of paintball skill, leadership and teamwork, and we just feel fortunate to get the recognition [Best Supporting Team Award] from the game's producers." Capital Offense is now in the pre-game development of its strategy for Vietnam Patrol, where they will play the part of the dreaded Viet Cong forces. More details to follow...
