The ancient war between light and hidden power raged on in Northern Maryland October 10-12, carrying on a war that has been raging for more than a decade. Last year, the Illuminati emerged victorious, and on the battleground of Outdoor Xtreme Chesapeake City’ s 40-acre domain, the fight against the Knights Templar was reborn in autumn’ s fire.

The Templars( Red Team) was led by the returning commander Chase“ Traffic” Morris. His XOs, Matt“ Suicide” Santos of East Coast Hunters and Rei“ Green Eyes” Arroyo Jr. of Select Few brought their own heavy-weight followings. And for his core squads, Traffic drew on The Stud Muffins, and the veteran conglomeration of Barney’ s Roughnecks.
On the other end, Donald“ Sasquatch” Davidson of Angelic Rage, commander of the Illuminati, took on his first major command role, and received phenomenal support in the recruiting department. With XOs Mike“ Whitey” White of 13th Legionnaires and Joe“ Bones” Berneck of Sloppy Dawgz as his support, they wrangled the likes of New Jersey Aces, Assassins Alliance, Elite Assassins, Soup Can Cocks, and the Quackers as their pillar squads. A tough collection of guns to contend with.
Friday started with the commander’ s game to determine the spawn points. The producers set up a target shooting course along the main road of the field for the commanders to compete for speed and accuracy. The Blue team won this by default, and thus, they were chosen to start the game at the far base: the Fire Base, dubbed as Philadelphia.
The Commander’ s game was followed by a magfed-only game on Saturday that allowed the First Strike players to run their full kits. With Elite Assassins and Assassins Alliance both running on this squad, it was little surprise that The Illuminati took this one home as well..
