Is talking about paintball. Relate your best story(ies). My best story is at a Lord Of The Rings scenario with about 200+ people on about 200 acres. Players were split up in four teams w/ 2 working together. White & blue(good)- red &green(evil) I forget the team names as I'm not really into LOTR'S, I was blue team. Each team had a specific base to keep and separate missions to do. Our 1st mission was to hold our base from attack for a hour, which we repel-ed easily. Then comes a call over the radio that white teams base is being overrun, HELP!!!. Well we were at the farthest corner of the field and w/base was near the start. Just about everybody in the base was new to this field and the maps we were given didn't really show alot. The youngest member of our team knew the field (lived close bye) and said "I know the way!",so after a moment we OK lets go and 20 of us took off. The little guy lead us around the swamps and up the fence lines and brought us in behind the base. It was a sight to see 20 players in full camo w/ automatic weapons being led by a little fella in a t-shirt and jeans and only a hopper full of paint. We swept aside the opposing forces that were trying to sneak in the back way,and came up over the hill that white base was holding just as green team was making a big push to overrun the base. We were like the calvary, we hit the green assault on the run and crushed it. We then set up ambushes on the trail and defensive pos. around the base. About 5 mins go by and we hear some noise coming down the trail. It's grn & blue being reinserted. Now, w-base was on a low hill with small trees and saplings, waist high ferns covered the ground. the trail ran in front of the base about 400 ft away from the top of hill and there was a natural clearing with clear vision of the trail. We were spread out nicely around the perimeter and had a ambush set up down trail. The ref walked about 15-20 guys back in wouldn't you know it they wanted reinserted in the most perfect spot.... for us. The ref noticed some of us and asked if they were sure(not sure if that fair or not) They said Yeah and were cut down almost instantly! I think we lost 2-3 players. Thats not the best, the next ref reinserted the next team of about the same # in almost the spot!!! We took them out the same way and the horn sounded and we went in. Long and short of story White-blue teams accomplished all missions, kept grn- red from accomplishing most of thiers, found 8 of 10 artifacts and won by 1500+points. It was at a Christion youth camp in Leroy MI. called Kettunn center every spring at the end of april. 25$ to get pre reg. or 35$ at door BYOP& air both are provided as well as rentals. That gets you in, lunch and dinner and a raffle ticket. Not a bad deal!! Anyways I digress, what's yours?
