WOW! The Big Game Was Awesome!!

[Robin Hood]

If all 652 players shot approx 3,000 balls each (I know that some shot a heck of a lot more!!) then it would be almost 2 MILLION PAINTBALLS!! in the one day, at one site! That's a ****e load of paint! (It's about 1,956,000 to be slightly more precise! )

At an average of £40 a box say, that's almost 1,000 boxes of paint. So it would cost almost 40 grand!! That's about $60,000 worth of paint!!

Phew! That would do me nicely!!

I was very impressed with the chronic, the diablo that i brought was all over the place, but those little yellow balls were smooooth.

The pink was even better as the poor Southerner in the trenches will testify `cos I shot the hopper off his Tippman,God I love my Emag(I did 4500 paint on Sunday...does that bugger your calcs?)

well i must admit that the three of us that travelled down from edinburgh on sunday morning ( 1 am departure ) had an absolutely fantastic time. Yes there were things that could have been better, the huge skirmish line that the game evolved into towards the end only halped ZAP paint !
Trying to make the centre bunkers was too much. I counted all the welts and in the last 20 mins running to the centre bunker got me 8 shots!!
The amount of paint going overhead was amazing though. Whilst writhing in the mud in pain in the bunker the air above was literally hissing with paint. So much so that i lay there for 5mins before venturing back out the hole to get back to base!!
The most annoying thing the whole day though was the fact that so many people didn't seem to realise that if u had your marker in the air and no armband then you were NOT a valid target. This included the UN force
All in all though a great day and one that we will be doing the 600 mile trip for next year


The one thing that i did think was missing was the on field and random chrono. I did not see a single person getthis done to them all day. The game did turn into a trading of shots and it was evident that whilst some peoples shots were just about carrying the distance others were going past at warp speed. Having had very strict instructions about the 300fps in the orders it was a shame that from what i saw not a huge amount seemed to be done to enforce this.

Yes: on field chrono checks will be an improvement.Body armour and free beer to the judge that does them.So that's my vodka,I mean.. Job ..sorted out for next year.All we need is Captain Scarlet and we are sorted.

Yeah and the precise ratio of player braincells to distortion of Judge into opposition player was the greatest amount known in the history of the world.
We felt all.We carried on.We knew there were b :ds shooting at us on purpose.
