Our team activity level suffered somewhat near the end of 2009, but we've started 2010 right! Here's a quick recap:In October about a third of the team showed for the glorified skirmish "Faction Wars 2.1" at the T1T field in Keizer. It was good times and of course we rolled the enemy hard wherever we went.
In December a couple of us played at OP: End of Lies at the St. Paul field. For the most part the game was a disorganized clusterfuck with a large portion of cheaters. By noon the Op had completely fallen apart and we hung around until 3pm when the 'copter finally showed up (3 hours late). At this point Amos got to ride around in the R44 shooting at the people on the ground skirmishing with his M249.
January 2010 brought us Conflict Europe part 4. Due to the event promoter banning alcohol (but not goats apparently) at the campout, we elected to hold our campout at a set of suites in a nearby hotel. APST Rifleman "Variable" colluded with other NATO based teams for the NATO Indoor Campout which was a huge success.
At the game the next day APST played the role of NATO Special Forces, and Kevin "Top" H. played the role of NATO commander. Our first set of objectives was to locate a geocache with intel on an Axis double agent, then locate the agent. We completed these objectives without any trouble, located the agent and received intel directing us to a point behind enemy lines that need to be destroyed. The intel proved to be wrong, but we got the correct location from another source, penetrated the enemy lines and destroyed the objective.
Our next objective involved a snatch of the Axis leader. Due to an intelligence foulup, the snatch turned into a "kill everyone at the enemy CP" mission. After that, lacking any new objectives from the game Admins, APST defaulted to general order number one; kill everything in sight.
By days end NATO had won the battle, and the Axis had learned that well organized mature players will always defeat numerically superior hoards of meatshields.
With the impetus of a victory under our belts we came to the decision that in order to maintain a strong showing at games (even though we all have non-airsoft responsibilities) we need to increase our numbers. We've contacted several mature players in the community and added them as recruits, welcomed back two players that had gone inactive, and opened up a general channel for players interested in recruitment.
Any player 18+ interested in APST should contact Gunny.

hey im 14 but in april i will be 15. i have 3 airsoft guns and i have been searching for a group where we can go on airsoft wars thats closeby. do i HAVE to be 18? i am pretty mature enough.
Hi im 15 teen years old and I have been airsofting for three years now I have one rifle and 1 one pistol, and I have been looking an organized team to join and I found your guy's team and it looked very goog. And, for the age limit 18+ do you think you could make an exception because I have the maturity of a 35 year old and I take orders very well. and I think I would offer and extra tactical mindset when it comes to CQC entries. So can you get back to me when you think of an answer.
Thank You

Do you have the 18+ age restriction because of team choice or legal issues because if it's team choice. You should be able to make an exception for me because I am an excellent sniper in woodland areas. Please get back to me ASAP on your answer and I chose your guys's team for one reason and one reason only the experience. Because your team is the oldest in the northwest you are without a doubt the best team in the northwest. So, please get back to me ASAP with your answer.
Thank You APST
