Hey Guys & Gals,
I`ve had a few requests for further details so get out your notebooks:
The Game - Stalingrad, The Russian Front.
The Venue - Skirmish Bullswood, Surrey.
The Organiser - Me and my team.
The Date - A cold and wet November 22nd.
Start time - site opens at 7.00 am - battle begins at 10.00 - guns down at 3.30.
Air - Those lovely chaps at H-Pac (yes, 4500 is available all day long).
Trade stands - BZ paintball should be in attendance for kit & paint
Generals - Should be Herr Eddie Von Straffensbouger and Comrade Mikeyvlodski - tbc.
Cost - £40 if booked before end of October, £45 if in November - inc. air, tea & coffee.
Team Selection - We will sort this with advice from both generals.
The Brief:
Winter, Russia 1942 - The German assault on Stalingrad has ground to halt with the onsett of a terrible Russian winter. Cut off in a town of Skirmishki on the outskirts of Stalingrad are whats left of a battalion of German crack troops under the un-wavering leadership of General Eddie Von Stafenbourger with orders to defend the position at all costs as a secret German Super Heavy Tank code name Maus has become bogged down and is unable to retreat. A band of Russian conscripts, hell-bent on revenge have the Germans besieged. The Rusians have received patchy intel about the German Super Tank and have orders to detroy it - only problem is their allies are to air-drop the special armour-piercing gas cannon needed to take it out.
The Missions:
Both German & Russian generals will recieve secret orders every hour regarding intercepted coded messages which give locations of fuel, shells and artilery. After each mission, both Russians & Germans must retreat back to their bases before tackling the next mission. Its cold, damn cold, so both teams are forced to take a short lunch break at 1.30 before the highlight of the day: Assuming some Fuel has been collected, ammo stolen and tha the Germans have intercepted the correct intel, the Russians should load their shiny new Armour-Piercing Gas cannon onto their HALF TRACK (did I mention the Russins have a half track?) and advance behind the smoke-belching, cannon firing Half track monster onto a well dug-in German defencive ring, trying to manouver the Armour Piercing Gas Cannon into position to try and take out the German Super Heavy Tank which will be breaking free of its muddy confines and taking evasive action!
Sounds good to me - A big Tank and Armoured Half Track (yes you can get on the back of it, yes it will drive around the battlefield, yes it will have a Banksman - Para Dave has been volonteered for this one), artilery, greatcoats and cold wet weather - the perfect build up for the festive season!
Please let me know either by e-mail skirmish@globalnet.co.uk or call me direct on 01342 870870 to reserve your places (they are limited).
Cheers, Dan.
