The sieges at willowlake
The sieges at willow lake are a series of sieges at a castle in the middle of willow lake in DayZ between forces of ZF and another clan known as PMC mostly known for their former member Quebec (now member of ZF).
It started when ZF forces where doing a patrol over willow lake in a civilian mi-17 helicopter when an unidentified PMC member fired their Barret M107 at the helicopter, causing ZF to drop off the 6 infantry men that were in the helicopter north of the castle to check out the castle.
ZF forces quickly surrounded the castle and one when one member asked if they could come in PMC member Quebec said Go away.. :p quickly after this interaction another one followed between Womble and the PMC clan. With the transcripts being as followed:
So, PMC… what can you give us to make it worth our while to go away
They all responded at the same time with your lives igniting the
first siege at willow lake.
While the castle was encircled more reinforcements arrived including Thosewhoknocks and SovietWomble inside a Blackhawk with a m134 Minigun, which opened fire upon the only entrance or the castle which was a wooden door. PMC Quebec then attempted to position himself onto the castle roof with to scout out and take pot shots at ZF troops. He however was spotted by Womble who promptly switched targets and killed Quebec.
While killing those who poked their head out of windows and entrances was an easy task to deal with for ZF, the wooden door seemed to not break from mini gun fire after Womble wasted his entire supply of 1920 rounds of 7.62 NATO ammunition without succes.
Returning back to base to rearm Womble and knocks where ambushed and killed by PMC XRAY
The siege was still going well though with Womble and Knocks even coming back to the castle with a Soviet mi-17 helicopter to still try and destroy the door. ZF infantry eventually was focused on destroying the door as well causing them to rally in front and open small arms fire upon the door, which still did not break. They then were ambushed by all 3 of the defenders from the East who opened precise fire upon them with M249 SAW Machine Gun together with M14s. Killing ZF members thosewhoknocks, hungrypillows, Rec J. Anderson and BlackZilla The first siege of willow lake then ended when Womble accidentally shot Cyanide with a H&K G36 Assault Rifle and then got shot by X-RAY.
For ZF the siege was a huge failure, losing 6 out of the 8 men and so it was a big win for PMC taking minimal casualties that could easily be compensated.
The second siege
The second siege started right after the first siege for a reason not described by both sides. This time ZF had the idea of using a UH-1H Huey helicopter to get a 6 man assault team on the castle roof to then storm the rest of the castle.
In a matter of seconds the assault team landed and the helicopter was gone, but again ZF was blocked by a door on the stairway down the castle. While the assault team tried to head downstairs their scout GhillieInTheMist sniped assault team member doped_cat not understanding that the people on the roof were the assault team.
After that altercation both the scout and assault team opened fire on a a civilian mi-7 that flew by to check out what was happening. It was later discovered by ZF that they had nothing to do with them or the PMC’s. After that incident said helicopter crashed.
While ZF attempted to break through the door from both sides with crowbars it was discovered by member Canada that the door they tried to destroy in the previous siege was un-collidable at the moment, meaning they could’ve just walked trough the door during this besieging.
While ZF tried to remove the door PMC member Quebec took notice and mowed down Cyanide and Scotty with an M60E4 machine gun. When ZF retreated back onto the roof they started to receive sniper fire from a PMC member that was never identified. ZF then tried to kill Quebec with a grenade they found on the body of one of doped_cat, which failed because the grenade fell down 2 floors
The then 2 men assault team extracted successfully, making the siege another chaotic failure. Especially considering there were only 2 men they had to take care of during this siege.
The final siege at willow lake
The third and final siege at willow lake exists for again not solid reason. It started right after the second one and this time ZF gathered everything they had. Including 2 satchel charges found by ZF cyanide. Unfortunately while evacuating from the place where Cyanide stored the charges the chopper Blackhawk sent to evacuate them was shot down by a unidentified PMC member armed with an M107 Barret killing Womble, Cyanide and the pilot which couldn’t be identified.
ZF then came up with a full plan after they finally retrieved the explosives, which was to assault the castle with an M113 ambulance APC, A Toyota .50 caliber machine gun technical, a humvee with a grenade launcher and a surplus helicopter with a machine gun.
On the way to the rally point the APC tailgated the Toyota which was also carrying extra ammunition, which got destroyed when it exploded in the crash following the tailgate incident. Eventually after the rally ZF quickly drove to the castle. Cyanide sprinted to a back entrance the PMC’s had and blew it up which was quickly followed up with a massive amount of small arms fire.
A 6 men assault team quickly entered the castle and ransacked PMCs storage room. Realizing they wanted to check the garage Womble attempted to ram the door with the APC, which was unsuccessful and nearly killed 5 ZF members because the APC bounced off the door when attempting to ram it.
Realizing the door did not collide with bullets ZF decided to open small arms fire upon it to destroy as many vehicles inside of the garage and then retreated. The castle was fucked.
