Commando’s Log: Friday, 12 December 2025 – Redemption at Home Base Filed by commando TheLaW After the loss in our previous battle, it was time to redeem ourselves and this time, we did it on our own soil.Everyone knew this fight would be against the lowest-ranked team in the pool. Chief had warned us during training: do not underestimate the opponent. So of course… we did exactly that. Set 1 — Asleep at the Gates The battle began, and as tradition sadly dictates, the commandos entered the field half... Lees meer

The day after Sinterklaas it was time to give ourselves one more present, a few points and third place in the competition. We had the pleasure to play against Gents 1 of Enter and thus had prime time: 17:00! This meant we had to have some proper lunch which Thijs provided for us. Swen (red: Procyonis) was flown in to coach us since our Hoofdpiet was busy building surprises. After lunch we got into the cars and a little while later we entered Enter.   Then we saw a bright flash. The next moment we were in ... Lees meer

Our team constructed pokebowls at Roels place. This provided us with the perfect foundation to match up against the lowest scoring team in the construction-league. The men of Havoc HS2 were facing demolition/demotion and for us this was the perfect opportunity to take the freight elevator towards the top of the competition. But we all know, things went differently.   The first set we took by a mm distance, which already indicated that the victory would not be as easy as we all dreamed of. The opponents slo... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Wednesday, 3 dec 2025 – The Day the Streak Fell Filed by TheLaW TheLaW is signing in today with sad news. The commandos have been defeated. After a long and glorious winning streak, someone finally managed to get the better of us. On our way into enemy territory, confidence charged through the troop. We believed we were going to secure another victory. But once on the battlefield, a very different war cry echoed. Set 1 We promised each other we would begin the first set on fire… but th...

As always, we started our match preparation with a solid foundation. For this we had 'brunch' at Maartens keet, for which we gathered at 9. This might have been a bit early as leidinggevende Martin needed to be picked up from his bed. But alas we were complete and traveled to Rijssen.   No work done without coffee, so the few spare minutes we had were spent on black gold, but only the bare minimum because we had a tight schedule for the day. And thus many mouths were burned on the coffee tempo. In the spir... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Friday, November 28 2025 Filed by commando TheLaW Another battle, another test of will. Set 1 — The Morning FogThe first set started with that familiar low energy again. We really need to find the cure for that. Before we knew it, the enemy was pulling ahead, and chief had to make some early changes to wake us up. After that switch we started firing our cannons. Strong serves, solid blocks but our biggest weakness showed: we kept trying to hammer the enemy with raw power, even when it wa... Lees meer

“Zonder bodem wordt er niet gewerkt” and thus we gathered again at Nicolai’s place to have dinner. This time we were allowed in the living room. Within the team we keep track of each other's allergies, intolerances and ‘Things we can't get through our throat’. Chickpeas were included in the last category for Mart and while the chickpea curry was delicious, there were some complaints from [name redacted]. Although the team has a strong work-ethic, the members regularly find excuses to get out of wo... Lees meer

Commando's Log: Friday, 14 November 2025  Filed by Commando TheLaW Another day, another battle. And this one… I would proudly classify as Target Practice. The enemy crossed into our borders thinking the commandos would just stand aside and watch. But after our previous mission, we were starving — hungry for a clean, decisive fight. So instead of waiting, we brought the battle straight to them. Pre-Battle Recon During warm-up, the enemy tried to intimidate us with heavy artillery. They were launching ma... Lees meer

With a (soon to be) winning streak on our side, it was time to visit the site in Oldenzaal. Before this we went schaften at Toms place, where we had spaghetti with not-so-meat balls. While we had a few workers canceling, we luckily found sufficient substitutes to help the heavy lifting.   The first set started and we really showed them how much muscle we can grow from some almost-meatballs. The sets that were given were quick enough to keep the opponents middles from closing the block. On one point even th... Lees meer

Goooeeeedemiddag! Vandaag was het weer eens tijd voor een wedstrijd (hihi dat rijmt)!    Maar eerst… de lunch met heren 5. Voor wie het eventjes gemist heeft: die verzopen (of bezopen) schepelingen hadden hun waardevolle shirtjestas laten slingeren. Ze mogen blij zijn dat wij die uit zee hebben gevist. Om ons daarvoor te bedanken werd dames Winnieh the Two vandaag heerlijk verwend met een stevige lunch.    Daarna konden we met volle buikjes toch maar eens beginnen aan de wedstrijd. En die overvolle bu... Lees meer
