hey what felilds are being used at poco? i was trhere in september and was just wondering how the feilds are gonna be set up?

The game play for this scenario is built around one principle: constant action! The objective of Scenario Control is to get as many players as possible out of the dead zones and back into the firefight. To facilitate this, the game will utilize an instant reinsertion system, which has been designed to keep the action high and players on the field and in the game as much as possible. When a player is hit, they will simply make their way to their Command Post, tag up, wipe off the hit, and they are immediately back in the fray.

Also on the field will be two forward insertion areas which the teams can occupy and use for a forward reinsertion zone, which also creates vital strategic positions to be contested. In addition to this fast-paced insertion style, the game will incorporate "Paratrooper" insertions, in which small groups of elite Special Forces can insert deep behind enemy lines, allowing for subterfuge, sabotage, and disruption of enemy reinforcements, providing yet another strategic dimension to the game.

The "Wolverines," a tough and resourceful unit of troops, will be the Special Forces for the Americans, while for the Soviets, the ruthless and highly trained "Spetsnaz" will be called upon to operate behind American lines.

More details soon.

Point Structure:
Points will be awarded in three ways: “flag” possession, props, and mission completion.

Five “Flag Stations” (not flag flipping) will be worth points on the 30min/00min marks. They will be a box (a 15’x 15’ marked area) with Tape/Flag hanging high for visibility. Team must have a LIVE player inside the marked areas to obtain the points.

Props will be scattered throughout the field. Some will be mission-related; these are not to be moved under any circumstance unless you are involved in that mission.

Missions will be given every 30 minutes. They will be pre-written and in the possession of the General prior to game-on. Some missions will have multiple parts, some will involve props, and/or special roles. Special roles (engineer, demo, etc…) are ONLY in effect for the duration of the mission in which they were given. Missions will be given to the General or XO at the appropriate time, and a mission referee will be provided if necessary for that mission.

Staging Area Music Requests

The first official game of paintball was played in 1981. Red Dawn was released in 1984. In honor of the 80s, we will be playing jams from 1980 - 1985 at the staging area.

We would love for you to make music requests, but just know that they may be embraced or ridiculed or surprisingly made unavailable by our DJ. The Reflex by Duran Duran (1984) may be one of my favorite songs, but I would not release that type of information on a public forum unless I knew the repercussions.

This just in...here is a "sample" mission to see what you are up against.


Communication: FREE AMERICA COMMAND, Boulder Colorado
Operation Code Name: BROKEN EAGLE

Mission Objective(s):

Greetings Commander,

Current intelligence reports have confirmed that one of our F-15 Eagle Pilots was shot down during a dogfight with Soviet MIG aircraft somewhere near your location. Possible coordinates are A-1, A-2, A-3, or A-4. We lost radio contact over an hour ago and are unable to receive further communication. It is probable that Soviet Intelligence (KGB) has already intercepted his last radio communication and is dispersing its own troops to find and capture our Pilot. He must be returned to your base camp so we may extract him back to FREE AMERICA. More importantly he must NOT, I repeat NOT fall into enemy hands for fear of interrogation. He has intimate knowledge of our weapons system and tactical capabilities. Good luck and Godspeed.



Primary Mission Requirements: 250 Points

· Find Col. Andrew Tanner, USAF and return him to U.S CP alive.
· Possible Grid(s): A-1, A-2, A-3, or A-4
· Time Limit: NONE
· Referee must sign card.


OR...


Secondary Mission Requirements: 50 Points

· Use lethal force on Colonel if already in Soviet hands.
· SHOOT TO KILL!!!
· Do not let him get back to Soviet CP or mission fail.
· Time Limit: NONE
· Referee must sign card

THREE WEEKS TO GO!

Can you cross into heavily guarded enemy territory to complete your objective? Will you be able to achieve your objective under a hail of enemy fire? Are you as effective without your marker as you are with it?

The final battle will pit team against team, head to head. It will require strategy, physical prowess and good tactical decision making. Each team will be able to earn the same amount of points as they would for completing 2 missions throughout the day, so there will be no unfair swing in points. This battle can pull victory from the jaws of defeat, but will not offset how hard you have worked to complete missions and earn points all day.

Will you have to sit it out if you are out of paint or air? NO! Will you have to throw a case of paint to be effective or help your team earn points? NO! Will this battle overshadow all the hard work you put in throughout the day? NO! Will this be the most exciting 20 minutes of paintball you play this season? You be the judge!

20 minutes of heart racing, blood pumping paintball action will close the day. Will you be able to face your fears and run the gauntlet to victory?

Only four hours left to pre-reg!!!!  Get in now and save $10 off the $50 walk-on price!!!!
