Well, if it's up in the air we can either take the easy win or chance defeat and pull off an incredible win.

-"battle hardened" troops. Most of the people on Techpb who say they are going are people who have been to multiple, large scenarios. For the past 2 Living Legends Techpb's team won when facing overwhelming numbers from PBNation. Checking the forums I frequent, Techpb is geared up, PBNation is quiet on even attending, and MCB is only concerned about Castle. Looks like numbers are in Mike's favour.
- -ORaNGe- is the head of the Canadian regiment of Techpb (he's the admin of the forums). He's currently in the Air Force up at Base Borden. It was said that him being one of the commanders at Wasaga last year was instrumental in their win. Here he is
getting a general kill last year at Dawn of the Dead in London. -TechPB has flat out crazy Canadians in the Citrus Connection Division. This is
Pinky and justchase. The former is a mod, the other his friend. Those, my friends, are the eyes of Satan
-Mike is a fierce competitor. He believes in
vigilante (ie. watch the last minute of that vid)
justice, is not afraid to
lay down paint, and has a host of useful paintball tips, and has a larger following (~79,000 subscribers/~37,000,000 views vs. Wolf's ~15,000 subscribers/~1,500,000 views). He's pretty good sniping First Strikes and now he's armed with an FN303 that has one of the largest capacity magazines currently on the market. Mike not only talks the talk, he walks it.
-they highly favour high-end electro "space dildos." In a day-long battle the lightest, highest firepower gun will lessen how tired you are and what you can lay down. You can argue about style, tactical accessories, etc. all you want but at the end of the day, if you want to win the scenario, the one who can effectively lay down the most paint and accomplish the objective wins. Some will likely object to my analysis on this matter.
CON's
-despite what they say, they're expected to win. I'm listing this as a con because it may be a hollow victory (ie. "battle-hardened" vets vs. a bunch of walk-on n00bs........where's the challenge?)
- -ORaNGe's feats are self-described so they may be suspect. He's also been described as a grump all of last Living Legend because he forgot to bring a change of socks and developed feet blisters.
-their technique is well documented. "To the front" is their battle cry. Watching all of the Youtube video gives a pretty accurate idea of how they'll play.
-if it rains, battery wh0res could be up the creek. Seeing as how Techpb has said they're going to have a division of mechanical 'mags this is a moot point IMO.
-play for the American? When you can back up a Canuck?
WolfPRO's
-he's Canadian
-Wolf has a bunch of
Generaling experience where Mike does not. Wolf
travels world-wide to go to scenarios. He gets
invited to ones because people love to scenario with Wolf. Hell, he
led Mike at Living Legends 4. They're his thing.
-he does have
team connections.-last team count gave Wolf about 1/2 of the teams committed to showing:

-Mike might get stopped at the border with his FN303. It's a less-than-lethal weapon. Try explaining that to the border guards.
-if we can beat Techpb, it will be epic
CON's
-until I saw that he general'd, Wolf seems like he's largely just a paintball "salesman."
-Techpb offers the chance to strategize with some people who really know paintball. It's unknown whether Wolf's side can bring that. A possible learning experience if we were to play Techpb.
-Wolf may have the skills to lead, but I have no idea on who he's getting to back him up. Most of the other times, it's been Techpb staff.
-Wolf's crew favour tacticool. In a long scenario, equal firepower at a heavier weight will wear you down quicker. Some will likely object to my analysis on this matter.
It's a pretty even split. Either way it looks like it will be fun.
So who are we all leaning towards? And what will our squad team name be?
