Cannonball Crew

The Cannonball Crew (CC) is a mobile combat unit dedicated to protecting Malton from the undead. The group specializes in coordination and real-time assaults to deny zombies any ill-gotten meals. Its unofficial headquarters is Strange Bank in Barrville, but members are more likely to be found battling zombies throughout the city. As a nomadic force, the Cannonball Crew enjoys a variety of missions involving all aspects of the game. Being part of the Crew means fighting alongside a group of experienced and knowledgeable players who have your back.


NEWS

July 31 2009

The Fort Perryn Defense Force announces Dominica Bekker as its new Squad Commander.


July 17 2009

The Cannonball Crew is proud to announce its new Sergeant Major. Our scout extraordinaire, Bookworm, will now be known as Sergeant Major of the CC. It's been almost one year since Bookworm made his eventful return to active duty and has once again become an indispensable part of the Crew. His contributions and conduct have been exemplary and we are thrilled to have him in the Command Staff. Congratulations, Bookworm.


June 2009

Operation: Colt Comrades - The Alliance 45 pushes further into zombie-controlled territory. Most of Stanbury Village was rebuilt and the kilt store at Nichols Mall had a grand re-opening sale.


Operation: Colt .45 - The Alliance 45's first mission is to reclaim Roftwood and the Quartly Library.


Alliance 45 - The Alliance 45 is a task force made up of a number of survivor groups and was born from the Joint Forum of the New Malton Colossus (NMC). Spearheaded by Tony Blair of the Cannonball Crew as the chief tactical leader and adviser and Leon Silverblood as the chief administrator and coordinator, the Alliance 45 has developed and put into practice innovative strategies and tactics to deal with some of Malton's most hotly contested suburbs.
All available Cannonball Crew forces (from the most battle-hardened of the elite to the trigger-happy Team Xtreme to the greenest of recruits of the Loose Cannons) have performed admirably in the Colt Operations. We've been tasked with leading the charge in each new invasion and our team has certainly distinguished itself. But none of the Alliance 45's success would have been possible without the man power and muscle of mighty survivor groups such as 41st Death Commandos, Army Control Corps, The Corleone Family, Creedy Defense Force, Malton Rangers, Malton Fire Department, Metal Fox, Paradox, SMUT (Southwest Mobile Tactics Unit), Umbrella Corp, USAI, USSR, and The Zodiacs.


May 2009

Operation: Harvest Slate - The Cannonball Crew is helping to rebuild Pitneybank—the last stop of Mall Tour 2009—and surrounding suburbs. UPDATE: Harvest Slate has been put on hold for Alliance 45 missions.
Operation: Shining Oasis - The Fort Perryn Defense Force is fighting desperately to regain control of Whittenside.

HISTORY

In July of 2005 a group of soldiers (Tony Blair, Freedom and Kyouto), each of whom had special recon training (Free Running), worked together to defend Eastonwood's Felix General Hospital. Although barricades did not exist at the time and the group was vastly outnumbered, they were able to defend their safehouse by employing regular patrols and hit & run raids. Tony Blair began to refer to the trio as the "Cannonball Crew," because they struck fast and hard like a cannonball and were more mobile than their larger counterparts. The Cannonball Crew formed alongside the original Council of Leaders (CoL) and became the CoL's military wing, as well as, the first strike team in the city.


Its veteran members have been playing Urban Dead almost since day one. They've experienced every game update and witnessed firsthand its growth and evolution into the grand experience that it is today. The group has weathered many storms and fought in numerous epic battles including the First and Second Siege of Caiger Mall, The Battle of Pitneybank and the annual 5th of November and Mall Tours. Many survivor and zombie groups have come and gone, but the Cannonball Crew has endured because of its devoted members and the camaraderie they've built. Long live the Crew.


COMMAND STRUCTURE

The Cannonball Crew employs a military-style rank system (see Ranks & Insignia) and members rise through the group based on their participation and performance. New members start as Loose Cannons (LC). Active and dedicated Loose Cannons then advance to become Loose Cannons Soldiers (LC Soldiers). Loose Cannons Soldiers who distinguish themselves are then eligible to become full-fledged Cannonball Crew members. Cannonball Crew members that exhibit leadership skills are then eligible for a position in the Command Staff.


SQUADS

NEW MEMBERS

Loose Cannons - our squad of new recruits and serves as the training ground for new players and the proving ground for veteran players new to the group.

Easy Squad - specialized squad for Loose Cannons (new recruits).


ADVANCED SQUADS

Able Squad, led by Sergeant First Class Haff, is an assault unit that's always ready for action. It's the largest squad in the CC and perhaps the oldest fighting squad in Malton.

Baker Squad, led by Sergeant Major Bookworm, is the intelligence arm in which members gather intel through scouting, NT scans and communications with fellow survivors.

Charlie Squad is a heavy assault squad.

Dog Squad, led by Master Sergeant fleurus, is a Special Forces squad made up of Cannonball Crew members only.

Fox Squad does not exist.

Fort Perryn Defense Force (FPDF), led by Sergeant Dominica Bekker, is our garrison tasked with protecting Fort Perryn and the surrounding area.

Team Xtreme, led by Sergeant Josh Clark, is a group of professional bounty hunters that specialize in teamwork and coordinated strikes.


HISTORIC SQUADS

Ghost Bears was a squad of brash, young soldiers originally led by Sergeant Tyler Jorgensson.

Pimp Legion of Doom (PLD) was an elite fighting force with attitude originally led by Sergeant First Class Sacrenough. Retired in August 2008.


POLICIES

The Cannonball Crew does not practice or support Multi abuse, Zerging, Combat Reviving (CRing), Generator Killing (GKing), or Player Killing (PKing). We do practice Bounty Hunting as revenge on a PKer that kills one of our own. We've also been known to practice Zombie Killing (ZKing) because the urge to kill zombies doesn't leave us even when we're dead.


NON-MEMBERS

Every established group has its detractors and the Cannonball Crew is no exception. If you are attacked or witness an attack or other crime (such as GKing), rest assured that the following characters are not members or in any way currently affiliated with the Cannonball Crew.
