PVP: Platoon v Platoon (09/24/2023)
This Sunday marked Section 7's first PVP event in more than a year! The two platoons - Spartans 1 and 2 - went head to head in three rounds of player vs. player combat. Spartan 1 numbered 25 members, while Spartan 2 numbered 21 members. Elements of the Headquarters platoon also supplemented the forces. BLUFOR was represented by RHS US Army, while OPFOR was represented by RHS AFRF.
In round 1, Spartan 2 played as OPFOR and was tasked with defending a town on Sahrani from a BLUFOR (Spartan 1) element pushing in. BLUFOR swept the round, winning with a 6-man lead after killing all OPFOR players.

In round 2, the platoons switched sides and Spartan 2 (now BLUFOR) assaulted an ammunition depot held by OPFOR south of Bagango with the intention of destroying an ammo dump. Spartan 2 won the round - not only winning by a much larger lead in remaining players, but also in detonating the objective after BLUFOR began breaching the depot.

In the final round, BLUFOR/Spartan 1 and OPFOR/Spartan 2 raced towards a central urban town of Ratzlingen on the map of Roche, and were tasked with strongpointing it. Spartan 2 secured the eastern side in short order, as SO Tocqueville of Spartan 2-3B pushed into the western side on a suicide mission to probe for enemy positions. Spartan 1 then secured pockets in buildings on the western side, as the platoons dug in for a lengthy engagement. At the end, Spartan 1 just barely eked out a victory, winning a 3v3 and ending with just 2 of its original composition of 25 players.
