Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, mech fans, and wild ones of all ages this upcoming Clan Wars XV is a VERY special war for one clan in particular of course I am talking about 99th Chessmen R&D Corps. Why is it so special for them ? Because they are one Gold medal away from being an UNBEATEN clan for an entire year!
Some facts three RND clans have won two CWs in a row thus far, if they all can pull it off again the RND family would be three clans with three golds three wars in a row! While that is impressive in and of itself for a clan family the spotlight as well as the heat is on the 99th Chessmen RND Corps, think about it folks an unbeaten clan for an entire year! That is a historical event. Currently only one of the original 99th players is left from Clan Wars IV and that is the current C.O. Mel Gibbens.
Over 30 players have passed through this particular unit over the past year and the roster at one time or another included names like Justin Bertelli, Nathan Williams and Jim Beller. What makes this so astounding is that the 99th has been able to take new recruits in and get them up and running with new folks each war. What a real accomplishment to take and make a cohesive unit in line, up to snuff and still be able to continue the winning streak.
Now on the flip side how bad are they feeling the heat? To win 11 in a row only to be tossed an upset at the historic final fight. How devastating would such a loss be? The 99th with 33 straight wins, 11 Gold medals and only to be defeated at the finish line ruining their chance at a truly golden year. Can they muster their resources, their strategy, and their ranks one more time to make that final push and complete a truly golden year? Will there be another clan to rise and ruin the dreams of total domination? Who would have that kind of power and passion to play that hard? This will be a fight to watch, a true fight for the ages. History will be made possibly with this next Clan War, they stand on the verge of a one year streak a one truly golden year! We here at Galaxy Gathering Wish them well and happy hunting. We will be watching closely to see if history is made here this will be a fight for the ages!
