WW has more potential, but I voted SS because they have powerful soakers already, despite the fact that they are difficult to obtain. Could you post any Soakers that I should buy and shouldn't buy. Don't bother with any of the 2004 SS line. Get a CPS 2500, 2100, 1700, 1500, monster, etc. if possibl...

At SSC there are quite a few people that haven't learned to use the edit button yet. There was also some member a while ago who decided to post the alphabet in a topic, 3 letters a post. Double posting isn't an issue here-someone reminds the poster in their response to a topic and that member learn...

Soon, I am going to be picking up 2 more 2100s (increasing our teams total of 2100's to 6 ). I will probably try to k-mod at least one of them. How much power do you get with a full k-modded 2100? Week old topic, but I'm adding some good advice. When you buy the 2100's, you've probably seen my post...

I've had 10+ battles so far this year, I think the actual figure is 11. Mostly 1HK or soakfests, one was 1HK-CTF. Least amount of people was 3, most was 7. The two Ridgewood based groups [Crescent Forest Militia and Waterbridge] are planning an epic battle later in August or September. There are st...

Great one-liner. That doesnt really make your choice clear. Monster what? 01? X? XL? Be more descriptive, but I think you mean the Monster 01. Anyway I like the 2500 and since it doesnt say that this topic is limited to stock guns, the 21000.

Do you all really do 1hk all the time? I don't really like that game type, you can win with soakertags against CPS> Well there is a point to 1HK, and tactics/strategies are vital for a victory. Soakfests become pointless when the enemy is completely drenched. I also have yet to even be hit by a soa...

He means smilies per post. It gets annoying if you include a string of smilies in posts. Double posts are n00bish too, though. Both should be avoided.

Replies: 20

I posted on this, but it must have been deleted or something. There is no one most important stat. It changes depending on the battle conditions. For example, range is crucial on an open field in 1HK. That same stat is not important in a dense forest or in a soakfest. The same changes apply to oupu...

I battle in two parks where there arent houses and decks and the such. There is a hill of mulch, with vegetation on it that I decided was a nice defensive complex. I fortified one side with a wall composed completely of woodchips and logs which is 4 ft tall in some places. The finest earthwork Ive ...

Depends on the type of battle. In 1HK I, like Doom, I prefer to have control of the high ground. High ground may not be optimal for soaker range. but it gives water balloons quite a boost, an exeptional one if you are using a launcher. I will take a position on a hill or one that is hidden and snip...

Quickfill tech might be useful when fighting in a neighborhood or a backyard, but where I fight its worthless. There are only 3 sources by which to refill. Carry water in containers, fill at one of the streams, or use the ancient-yet-still-works-somehow water fountain. There are no hoses or sinks a...

The value of range varies depending on the battle conditions. I think I have a long post on this on SSC somewhere. Factors like range, power, output, etc depend on variables on the battlefield. The type of war, terrain, number of people, size of the battlefield, arsenals, etc all affect whether cer...

$65 for a CPS 3200? That's a rip-off. Be smart, wait until more pop up, and there will be one for a lower price. I got a great deal on my CPS 2500, just $31, way below the normal selling prices!:laugh: Don't buy any 2100's off Ebay unless you live in Canada, otherwise go to Sports Authority for the...
