My BB order was shipped to the wrong place ... lucky me. I would say there is a 99% chance I wont have bbs on gameday. I apologize for the inconvenience.


Thanks for the update Tonk, sorry your facing shipping woes...  Folks, what this means is that their will be almost NO bio bb's on site for you to purchase (Have less then maybe 9,000 of personal bb's I'll probably bring and sale).  If you waited to get Bio BB's then your best bet is to hit up Sports Authority and buy the Palco brand Bio Bb's or try to work out a private trade with someone who has some.  Your BB's will be checked when you chrono in and folks who cannot provide non Bios asked to leave.  Apologies for the inconvenience.

Awesome!  Cipherblue is also going to go out and see if he can snag a few containers as well to have on hand for those that need to buy on the field.

ATTENTION:
This is the last reminder on the following required items/knowledge:

Bio BB's: you must have bio bbs to play, your stash must be presented to the chrono staff th ensure compliance.  If you dont have any we will try to provide you some for purchase.  Supply cannot be guaranteed so if you can make arrangements with a friend your better off to do that then just bet on us having enough.  First come first served on the purchase on-site.

FPS Limits: 400 and below for AEGs, 500 and below with a MED of 50 feet for snipers, your weapons will be chronoed before admitance to the event.

Face protection: If your over 18 you can use any eye wear that shields the sides of your eyes and is ANSI rated.  If your under 18 a full paintball face mask is required as is a waiver signed by your parents.  Your id and protection will be checked when you chrono in and we will turn folks away for not having the approved eye protection.

Squads: You will be playing squad based combat, this means that you will either play with your friends or be placed on a squad prior to the game.  Each squad should have a squad leader who is radio equipped to get intel from HQ.  The only solos running in this game should be a small handful of sniper/spotter teams.

AO Location: I sure hope you all checked the AO location before committing to the game, but for those that didn't here are the directions:

Last but not least, have some fun!

Can a sedan make it up to that place? I have a jeep but it guzzles gas like crazy.

All plans are subject to failure, therefore make it your plan to turn failure into success.

Way to go TA.  Great game.  I just wish there were a few more hills...nudge nudge.

Awesome organization and fluid play.  

C.I.A rocked it...

Good game for sure.  My only gripe was that every time me and my boys were in a position to back door some bad guys our front lines would already be there pushing them back even further!  Good fighting back and forth on both sides.

Liked the use of the larger area.
The multiple objectives were easy to follow, but more of us should have printed out maps.
+1 on the props ;)
Having Kiley and Tonk as "mission refs" and Cipher running between the two IMO helped a lot with keeping things from getting chaotic from that "when the 1st bb flys past your head" philosophy.

One thing that sucked was the one crowded radio channel our side was operating on.  Way too much talking over others with the usual "hey, he's behind that tree" type stuff.  Hard for the team leaders to organize among themselves.  Organizers assigning bandwidth for each side would help, and then the participants could split that up among the teams/squads.

I didn't experience any cheating or players not calling hits myself, but I did hear two insistences where I was close by of players losing their cool over it.  It takes away from the game play and dilutes the experience.

Now go post those pics!

What can I say?...the man makes some good points.  This is why he is NOT Airsofter2.
