Anaconda: The Original Fortress Combat Team

Anaconda3.png


Nickname - The Condas


The Origin of Anaconda

When Fortress Four - the original Fortress - was finally secured in September 2005, The Ears organised a roaming squad to explore the nearby suburbs and report back its findings. He didn't realise at the time that this brave squad of vigilant crusaders, including legends Jensonson, Fet, Fishel and LePaige, and led by Bensonson, would form the initial Anaconda combat team. Three years later and the team is unrecognisable from its humble early days. Anaconda, named for being team 'A' of The Fortress, is a considerable force to be reckoned with.

The History of Anaconda

Commander Bensonson led the Condas for a remarkable 78 days before it was finally revealed that Jensonson - his older brother - was in fact the mysterious force behind The Fortress itself. Then, as Battlehawk and Cold Cell were launched, Commander and Fortress Legend DeathAxe took up the reigns and led them for a tremendous 140 days. DeathAxe set the standard for the group - he was solid, consistant and demanded regular activity and reporting - Condas played things by the book - and in many ways they wrote the book. Reporting styles, group tactics, teamwork and many other innovations were developed by Anaconda. Jensonson and Danny Lee led the Condas solidly for many more months and the squad was set with rigid discipline and procedures - ready for the innovation of Legend, Tommy Crowbar. The 400+ day reign of Commander Crowbar pushed Anaconda to new heights as he built, and rebuilt the team on three occassions to lead the way in Fortress combat work in Malton.


The Identity of Anaconda Anaconda has had a solid and noble history and led the way in innovation and standards. Arguably the group has spawned more leaders than any other. Conda's are serious about their daily work and proud of their close teamwork and standards. To be an Anaconda is a stamp of approved quality.


The Style of Anaconda

  • Strict operations.
  • AP efficient.
  • MSN use common
  • Real Time Operations


Current leadership expectations and style

Commander Miss Elainious - Extremely active and organised individual that has high expectations of her troops. Activity and mission awareness is a must. Preferred style of MSN communications and real-time ops. Miss E will teach any soldier a hell of a lot and offer all the support you could need. Under Commander Elainious you will gain great rewards if you put in your own effort.


Anaconda's Greatest Moments

  • Nov 2005 - The name of The Fortress became global as LePaige's Anaconda resists the RRF in Ridleybank.
  • Feb 2006 - DeathAxe teaches new standards of reporting and operation design. Anaconda leads the way.
  • Winter 2007 - Tommy Crowbar rebuilds the Condas into the strongest group in The Fortress, claiming the crown of the Hawks.


Famous Anaconda Legends

  • Bensonson - The First Fortress and Conda Commander.
  • DeathAxe - CO that set the bar for the group's standards and expectations.
  • Trong Tran - First Fortress recruit and long term loyal Conda.
  • Blair Wells - Long term loyal AO to Anaconda.
  • Stubblyhead - Swinky's better half. Stable and sensible Lieutenant and gentleman.
  • Berserkas - Solid, loyal and proud Conda Lietenant. An epic career.
  • Danny Lee - Stabilised the team as CO at a difficult time.
  • Daniel181 - Top ABA king for well over a year and Conda Commander.
  • Tommy Crowbar - Commanded Anaconda for 400+ days and built them to be the best.
  • Miss Elainious - Helped reform Anaconda with CO Crowbar before becoming Commander herself.

There where people starving in East Becktown, and the desolated Northwest. They needed aid. They needed refreshment. They needed..a picnic? Team Anaconda and Battlehawk once again joined forces in East Becktown and beyond, where sandwiches are salvation. Retaking Caiger mall among many buildings, this was truly a strange picnic indeed.

  • Operation: Heritage June 17, 2008 – July 6, 2008

Caiger Mall and the Pitman Mansion are one of the few landmark in the fearsome northwest. An exciting adventure spanning four suburb, Operation: Heritage was worth the risk for many 'Conda.

  • Operation: Northern Lights April 16, 2008 – May 6, 2008

Northern Malton had been flattened by the hordes, specifically The Dead whose soul objective was to destroy all life in Malton. The northern half of Malton had become one giant red zone and The Dead had turned their hungry eyes to the south. Their southern hordes have not been as successful and they have begun to move some of their numbers south to reinforce the southern hordes. As they sent numbers south and the RRF returned to their home in Ridleybank, Anaconda bypassed them and moved northward and into the northeast to restore life and light. Travelling through Roachtown, Santlerville up into Dulston, the operation ended with a final standoff which saw Anaconda and allies repel The Dead and force their retreat.
