This is an interest gathering thread, posted in a variety of forums for maximum exposure.
I’m trying to gauge whether there’s enough interest in another UK big game for 2006. Obviously, the game would have to fit into the line-up of Big/ Scenario games already scheduled
What I have planned is a little different from your usual day-long- yomp-through-the-woods-with-costumes scenario.
Ever walked down your high street or housing estate and thought “I’d love to play paintball here?”
I’m hoping to book a MOD urban warfare training facility. This place is amazing, completely detailed, it has shops, houses, sewers, cars, a church, a petrol station, three story buildings and would be awesome for a game. If you saw the episode of ‘Top Gear’ where Clarkson races two cars through a mock-up village, being shot at by squaddies, you’ll get an idea of the sort of thing I have in mind. This is three dimensional CQB-MOUT-FIBUA-OBUA.
I’d like to keep the scenario simple as the environment is complicated, so my basic storyline is two rival teams fighting it out through the town, with arm bands of two very different colours to differentiate them. Maybe a squad of mercenaries for hire to throw the balance a bit. In the best tradition of video games, there will be health packs, food packs and energy packs to collect for points or to trade. I’d like to bring in some things I’ve seen at games in the USA, most likely having ‘Medics’ on field and also having a short ‘Final battle’ to close things off.
I’m open to ideas, as far as I’m concerned this would be your game, so you can decide how you want to play it. Do you want more of a storyline/plot? Props? Flag bases? Costumes?
I’m not very bright and I struggle to follow the finer points of plot in most games I’ve played. I can’t be arsed to work out whether the guys in the mauve shirts with the orange armbands are on my team this hour or not. I can’t keep track of when the enemy base is worth more points and I sure as hell can’t remember what special items I need to kill the impervious alien bloke. I just want to play paintball!
Couple of other things to bear in mind:
As this is a game on MOD property, there might not be camping available. Alcohol, drugs and other contraband not allowed. All entrants would be subject to search. All players would have to be over 18 . Field paint only- the MOD would want the site pristine afterwards so an easy clean, non-staining paint would have to be used.
I’d like to emphasise that this is totally non-profit making! Costs to you would cover the MOD’s site costs and other running costs only.
I welcome any thoughts you might have. PM or email me or post up here.
Cheers
Andy
