Shades of Grey were reborn as a gaming squad at the end of March 2008. In the eight months since then, we have played 18 matches or scrims and won them all. In doing so, Shades of Grey have now played over competitive 50 maps as a squad without losing a single map in the process. There are many squads in the Nova gaming community, but very few can point to a matchplay record like this.
This week saw us reach the "50 wins" total after winning the first map of a TDM scrim against -aD- Squad. Not all our matches have been TDM matches, we have played TKOTH, TDM and CTF maps, playing 15 different squads and winning the Last Glory TKOTH Championship in the process.
Winning this many maps without loss has certainly been a team effort, 19 sog members have been involved at some point or other. Some people have played nearly every map, others only one or two. We have squad members who would have like to have played, but have been prevented by commitments to school, college, work or other things in "real life". Whether people played or not does matter, the record belongs to Shades of Grey as a whole.
As usual, we would like to thank all of the squads and players we have played against in the last eight months; we had fun, we hope you did too. Particular thanks go to those squads who have let us use their servers for some of these scrims, sometimes at very short notice.
Maps Played 50 - Maps Won 50: sog players taking part (in no particular order):
It is with deep sadness that we learned today of the passing of csf.Yaya. In the years I have been gaming it has been my pleasure to meet some extremely nice people and Yaya was one of the best, always laughing and joking with time for everybody.
He was extremely loyal and a true ambassador for both his squad and his country.
Sog squad would like to extend our most heartfelt sympathies to his friends and family at this sad time.
Vaya con dios Yaya.

It is my pleasure to announce that Shades of Grey (sog.) are back in the Novaworld gaming community, awaiting eagerly for the release of the next Delta Force title. A decade on from the release of the original Delta Force title, and 10 years since Shades of Grey's founding in DF:1, we return, with original members, and some new friends we have gathered along the way on our journey. SOG. rising from the ashes of Insane Qualities (iq.) also a DF:1 squad which we brought back to life for the last Novaworld title Delta Force: Xtreme. It is with great sadness that we leave behind iq. but it is with stronger resolve and spirit that we move on, as does everything. We say goodbye to those who were unable to continue on our journey, but we move on with those of us who choose to follow on.
Shades of Grey has a proud history and heritage of being one of THE top squads in Europe in DF:1, we are looking with a view to once again capture that reputation, and with some added bonuses.
Ladies and Gentlemen, for 2008 and the future, we present to you, Shades of Grey.
