The Sunday game was a four hour game on
the same terrain, to be honest we had a wild
long night at the hotel so our brains were a
bit foggy to say the least and we arrived a
half hour late and the game already started. We got our gear together and just
jumped in with the other UK players and started to do the same as
we did at the game yesterday and
systematically clear the terrain in
front of us…. Murphy’s law of combat has a rule which says “when
the attack is going well then it’s
probably an ambush” and that was
not far away from the truth. We
pushed onwards to find ourselves
surrounded by our opponents. But
for us this was just making things
interesting, so we went for it and
counter attack the players trying to
surround us. Unfortunately at that
same moment rain started to pour
down on us and the game was called
due to a slippery and dangerous terrain and some rumor we heard about
Portuguese not liking rain….
After the award ceremony we said goodbye
to our friends and we got ready to fly back
to the Netherlands and leave a very wet
Portugal behind us…
Overall we had a great time, just like last year.
The Portugal Big game is run by volunteers
with a limited budget, with that in mind the
effort they put into this game is evident.
There is no lack of gracious hospitality, a
well-planned out and executed game even
though they have limited resources. We thank
Portugal for their amazing accommodation
and event, we will see you next year!
