Lots of chargers, two on each team. Good for Tower Control on Walleye Warehouse, and hopefully good for my prospects for flanking and getting behind them. I can do it with a bucket, but can I do it with a Blaster?
Apparently I can. I'm a bit slowed with the Blaster, ...

I see the Splatling on the other team. Maybe the tactic from the previous battle will work here too. The side route certainly seems to be unfavoured at the moment, so I'm going to give it a try.
I don't see the Splatling, but I move higher on the map to ...

I see you, E-litre 3K. Well, I see you at the introductions. But where will you be in a moment? I'll go around the back to find out. I flank down the side, a quite effective route, and manage to go unnoticed. But where is the E-litre?
Okay, I see you. ...

Another ten battles or so, and Arnaud is still there. He'll outlast me, because I'm just after one more decent battle before I call it a night. I think this is the one. A good early splat, and simultaneous Killer Wails, and Arnaud following up to splat me. Excellent.
Falling backwards ...

Yep, I've been knocked down to A-. So it goes. I'm thinking I shouldn't be down here long, but not even my mad Splatterscope skillz with a Z are reliably helping me win the battles. It doesn't help when I forget to release the trigger before squidding.
One thing I notice ...

The Kelp Splatterscope! No relying on Splat Bombs this time. It seems like a good idea, with the Sprinkler for Splat Zones, and Killer Wail for Port Mackerel and Walleye Warehouse. That's if I manage to use them both, particularly as I still haven't got it in my head which ...

I want to hang back in this Splat Zones battle in Walleye Warehouse, take care of the turf, apply pressure to encroaching threats. But I can't resist going mobile and trying to apply more direct pressure.
Sure, it doesn't work, not at first, but approaching the Zones from a different perspective ...

A not-so-great attempt with the Hydra Splatling as my first battle in the evening convinces me to return to a more comfortable model for this short session. The Splatterscope it is! I think it will work on both Camp Triggerfish and this map, Walleye Warehouse.
The E-litre 3K Scope could be ...

Thursday, December 8th, 2016
Camp Triggerfish isn't being kind to me today. But that's okay, because Walleye Warehouse has given me a couple of cracking battles. I don't even mind that the Dual Squelcher is running some Defence Up, ruining my partial charges. Looks like it works.
Our early lead looks good, even if we're ...

I know the Tri-slosher doesn't really cover turf quite as efficiently as other weapons, but I'm not really planning to cover turf as much as skirmish around the edges trying to suppress the other team. Of course, that rather depends on the skill of the opponents, so we'll see.
I start ...
