hehehe, I keep thinking about the defense we're gonna put up and my mind keeps working its way back to Kurosawa's classic film "The Seven Samurai"

So - what other movies are you guys finding some inspiration in?

:D

Personally, I'm seeing it as more like the end of Attack of the Clones, when all the Jedi are in the arena kicking droid and Geonosian butt along with whacking Jango Fett.

As for the Seven Samurai, I love that flick. I saw it on TCM the other night just as I was heading to work, damnit. I gotta find it on DVD. I'm also amazed at all the movies that copy it. The Magnificent Seven and Ronin are direct, modernized updates. And the Green Berets, Braveheart, and even the Three Amigos borrow heavily.

I'm trying to get a scenario game done based on the story right now. If it happens, I may have to break my bad-guy streak.

Zulu. Only we're the low tech guys. :o :P

I think the Seven Samurai and Magnificent Seven are better analogies though. Small band of high skilled guys versus hordes of attackers. B)

I think is was Bug's Life which did a circus bug version of the same thing. :lol:

I'm more like Will Paladin in the old TV series, "Have Gun, Will Travel"

How about "Quigly Down Under" ....

The whole fighting for the right cause using an ancient very accurate rifle?

Maybe some Trigun thrown in

Yep. Great movie. Hopefully we will fight off those damned bandits eh? Lets hit the people that come throught he castle gates with sticks too, to check their reaction times :P

I think western. Good westerns where it's like to OK coral or the alamo. Just like them we will hold it as long as need be.

Im thinking, "The 13th Warrior" also known as "eaters of the dead" .. a small band of warriors takes on overwhelming odds to save a viking kindom from evil monsters.. (which many think were actually a last remnant of Neanderthal man...)
by fortifying a "castle" and defending it to the death... some even survived, but they were victorious in the end.. :)

LOL! I open this thread to read Maverick's response and what do I see?

:P



AAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA!!!

hehehe ;) yeah, and The Eaters of The Dead is another good choice Maverick. Michael Crichton is a great author, and the move The 13th Warrior is a good adaptation of that book

Ahhhh.....13th Warrior! The blatant "Beowulf" ripoff. But it never really got my attention at all.

Or another reference.......would we be the valient defenders of Tobruk (the first time).....or the Red Devils at Arhnem
??

I'm surprised with what Ladymarshal posted on the Marshal's site about someone changing sides that no one has mentioned the Pass at Thermopolye (sp?) where 300 Spartans (+1200 other Greeks) stood off the entire Persian Army for a long time. Until a traitor gave the Persians the pass around the defenders and they died to the man.

I prefer to think about "succesful" hopeless defenses in history:

Agincourt <similar odds (maybe)
Last Fight of the Revenge <Grenville died but his surviving men were returned to England and 2nd Armada was turned back
Little Round Top
Roark's Drift <similar odds, however the defenders were high tech

probably others I can't think of now.......

BTW I got the National PTA and American Red Cross adverts when I opened this thread......(hmmm employment as a teacher and a disaster in my future, why that could be one and the same event!)

I am so with ya there Rath, Zulu is what its gonna be like we are going to be swamped with spray and pray semi's and were gonna have to take em down one at a time not like you can just open up on the crowd with a pump :)

sure you can were talking about the best pump players that are out there most of the people defending have more years playing than some of the younger players have been alive. as for me ill be runnin my phantom with a microline to a 20 oz tank and a 200 round hopper ill also be using my auto trigger so we can hose them

Does anyone know the name of the attackers General?
Does it rhyme with "Pyrrus"?

I'll have my KP3 set up on a 114 Raptor and I have enough guppies and battlepacks to carry...Umm, lessee...1260+500+400+200=1,360 balls+say 140 in the hopper so a case and a quarter on my back(2,500) plus thirty ten-round tubes.

Even playing as a backman in tournament, I have never in my life considered carrying that much paint into a game.
anyone know a good chiropractor?
But I may nail the packs to the walls, if you need paint~take it, just leave me the pods.

yea my vsc will have to use its df breech and those pod loops on the back of my raven pants may be used for the first time, and who knows maby a 12 oz...
)(shudders)(

I don't know what I'd do with a hopper on my gun. :P
