Good fight on SF Village

We had a match few nights ago in TWL EU 4v4 Objective ladder. We were facing a known opponent for us on SF Village. As we started on defense it was clear that the match was going to be fun.

We had our plans sorted out somewhat and started our work on defending the objectives, things went smoothly, we had few rounds where we were in trouble but thanks for some great individual efforts we managed to handle those. After the 6 rounds in defense we were leading 6-0.

We then moved to assault and didnt have that big of plans in mind. We just went how we felt the best and it yielded some good results. We won the first round and the match win was secured for us. After all rounds were played the end result was 7-5 in favor of us.

First place fight on TWL 2v2

We had a match last night against a team whos history we knew quite well. We were attacking their first place on the ladder which they held with a 5/0 record.

Speaking about their history, we mean that their means of getting wins on the ladder are bit "shady" to say the least. We knew quite well how their concept would be in this match.

They started by giving us some "free" rounds which we won easily. But after few of those, they started their show. The map was in our favour gladly and we had some tricks to defend against them from their blatant acts of... well lets leave that unsaid.

After the 12 rounds of play, the score was 6-6 and we moved to overtime in Urban Assault. First round was a tie but in the second, our soldiers killed the two opfors and won the round and the match 7-6. This ment that we had taken the first place from our opponent.

Bear Force CT Unit Secures First Place

Our first match in 2010 took place last night on the TWL EU 4v4 Objective Ladder. The stakes were no higher than the first place on the ladder, we were facing a known Polish opponent from our previous matches.

We have had over 1 month hiatus from matches so our expectations were not that high. But nevertheless, Pipeline has suited us allways quite well. We were to start on assault, took three rounds and then moved to defense. It was not that easy and the opponent was coming back to the game by taking rounds. It was 6-5 for .bf when the last round started. With some good nading by CPT PolluxTroy the round was over allmost before it started. We had secured a 7-5 Win and achieved the first place on the ladder.

Last time we were holding the #1 spot in the same ladder was in 2007, this match marked our 157th win on the TWL Ladders.

Rutine stop

The theathre of war was set to Weapons Cache. We were defending our position in the ladder. It started good, we were defending. With ease we took opfors down and they really did not stood a chance. The first assault round was a success as well so we secured a match win.

105 Days of Glory

70 years ago, Soviets launched an attack against Finland with 21 divisions, with some 450,000 men, and bombed Helsinki. Winter War had started, a conflict which was part of the Second World War was a huge effort on our part against overwhelming numbers.

The Frozen Hell lasted for 105 days, the war took place during Winter 1939 which is known for its extreme weather conditions. USSR made an unprovoked attack against Finland with only one goal in mind, to take the independence away and invade Finland.

Little did the Soviets knew, that the total strength of the Soviet Army ~1,000,000 would fail miserably. Finns had a total strength roughly near 350,000 men with no chance to compete against the Soviet men power nor equipment details.

It has been credited that the "Spirit of Winter War", the national unity, saved Finland from breaking under the Russian invasion during the Winter War. The feat was truly remarkable and will shine on the leaves of history for decades to come.

Winter War lasted for 105 days, from November 30th 1939 to March 13th 1940. It ended in the Interim Peace. Finland lost some territory but secured its independence. The casualty numbers were high on both sides, but especially on the Russian side, which was devastated by the determination of the Finnish soldiers. The casualty estimates vary high on the Soviet side but they were near 126,000 men dead or missing. (Finland 25,000).

We here at Bear Force CT Unit would want on this special 70th anniversary of the Winter War, offer our utmost gratitude and thanks for the veterans of the Winter War for saving us and granting us the freedom we enjoy this day.

Kunnia Isänmaa !

"Only Finland-superb, nay, sublime-in the jaws of peril-Finland shows what free men can do."
- Sir Winston Churchill

.bf Returns to Active Duty

We signed for the TWL EU 4v4 OBJ Ladder. Since our return much time has passed and the enemies have changed. We were facing the number 8th team on the ladder today. The venue of battle was set to SF Courtyard.

We started on defense and successfully defende our positions for 6 rounds. And then moved to assault. During our fight at both sides, we did not have any major plans and just played with rutine. Without any pressure nor such we cleared a 11-1 Win from our opponent.
