winter scenario game in upstate NY

http://www.pbmissions.com/events.html

anyone interested?

I'll be there, I'm playing the Rebel commander. I could use some strong players to count on for this one. Reb are you going?

For those who need the details on the field, the field is about 3 hours north of NYC, just west of Albany. Here's the best part: the field policy on paint is simple: BYOP.

Fair warning, the average temperature up here lately has been in the single digits recently and we've gotten a good amount of snow built up. So if you plan on playing and you don't have long johns, you're insane. But if the snow hodls out, it should help with the atmosphere nicely.

Hey guys,

As for winter play, be careful with your rates of fire. We here in Minnesota have noticed that the high rates of fire will freeze up your semi-automatic markers a LOT quicker, and the cold air will eventually result in brittle paintballs. We play paintball in Morristown, Minnesota a lot, and include winter paintball as well. For the most part, we either switch to pumps and pistols, or really turn down the rate of fire on our Tippmanns.

Another thing to consider is the CO2 vs. HPA tanks. If at all possible, use HPA instead. HPA isn't affected by cold temperatures nearly as much as CO2. By using HPA you will ensure having constant velocity with each fired paintball.

From one cold-weather state to another, I hope this information helps you guys. Have fun this weekend, and shoot someone for me!  =)

Take care,

LTC Badger

The directions on the site run pretty much true to word.

Game should be starting around 9am, I'm actually the commander for the 'Light' side of the game. I'll be there early and I'm looking for players for assault squads. I need 8 in all, so if you're interested, come find me. I'll be wearing A white chemical suit with a black tac-vest.

I want to thank you guys for coming out to the game. You guys were our go to group for all the tough stuff. You guys earned that MVT award.

Reb, you made a great Han. I can't wait to meet up on the field again with you.

I think I got hit with about a case of paint at this one. I stopped counting welts at 50. It was insane, especially taking on the entire imperial forces with just a toy lightsaber. My white chemical suit was rainbow when I walked off the field. I loved every minute of it.
