A dark (k)nights winter tale

Once uppon a time three guys ... erm knights embarked on a perilous journey... Theyr quest: To take part on a small, private CQB competition in the foremost biggest russian airbase in eastern germany.

It started very smooth, without any delays on the travel, but as soon as thy left the save haven of the "autobahn" things turned from bad to worst. Temperature dropped from -4° Celsius to -17° Celsius within 30 Minutes, it fogged as hell and view range dropped to 10 meters, partly they only stayed on the road with the help of the GPS device (blessed it may be!).

Arrived on site they realized, it would be a lonely night. Some did not turned up at all, some prefered to retreat to a warm tavern and some prefered to retreat to a warm room. Onmly a handful upright lads stayed in the open and started to dig in for the night! Armed with sleeping bags and shelter halfs they awaited the night to come.

First the drawn theyir blades, and started to do firewood. With a cosy fire gooing was the weather much mor bearable to our valor striders, but still they had to fight the cold. The next morning brought some new sun to the scene and after some preparations they were able to sheild themselfs into theyre mails and armors and take part in the quest of leberating the airport. Needless to say, that the dark knights prevailed on theyr quest :)
