Winter War - Sun 27th... WHOS COMING!!!!

Im most deff in..
[b][i] Vote Yes if you will be attending. this way we have a estimate of how many players will be here...

Thumbs up!. We have a few coming from Bangor and some locals on the other forums coming and the regulars. I'm thinking we're up to 20-ish so far.

I havnt played in winter before so fill me in on wat il need? i dont own snowpants. also should i bring walkies or we not be using them?

The beat thing you can get is a few hand warmers. I usually get by with longjohns under my stuff. The running will keep you warm. A hooded sweatshirt helps also.

Norm- we should do the fire pit again if it is cold.

Winter paintball sites that you guys may want to check out before the game at the end of the month.

Sure you'll need to tell the refs - more times then not the ref is the one that sets it off.

why does everyone have yo pick on the fat kid. I don't care If I get hit at this point. I just want to shoot some paint.

Spent a few more hours out on the field today snow blowing, there is a "Ring Road" that goes all the way around the village now, and a few trails into the woods.
Tomorrow I'll be cutting "roads" into the village itself (if time, more trails into the woods). I think this is going to be interesting.

The format for the game will be play half the day then switch the sides up so everyone gets to play both sides of the game.


As this really is the deepest snow we have ever played in (even deeper than the games I had up in Rangeley, which was always a blast!!) I would love to hear back from everyone that plays.

What worked?
What didn’t?
What can be added or dropped??

Next year I'll get a jump on the snow blowing early so I can do more with it, I'm killing myself in this virgin snow...........

So I guess I'm saying bring it, I'll be ready for you

PS - if the game play is cool with the snow trenches, I may even have a walk on play day for the village??

Sounds bada$$! The trench warfare is going to be pretty interesting.

Here what I've done for the up coming event, The Winter Roads

Well I am ready. I just spent 3.5 hours cleaning my A5. Keep up on your cleaning boys. Their was stuff from before creepshow.

The trenches look awesome and I suggest snowshoes.

See you then boys

Nip out

I'll have some newbies with me too.

How deep are them trenches? Wonder if we could go from one side to the other without detection.

In the village most are knee high - some higher.

As you enter the woods it drops off. enough to be able to move about.
So snow shoes if you plan to not use the village Winter roads.

I'm looking forward to this event, we've talked about winter trenchs for years and haven't tried it untill now.

I think there is defiantly enough snow to move from side to side. You would have to be crawling or commando crawling to make it work. I might even have a little surprise for you that Norm and I talked about but we will have to wait and see.

ill be there reffing like usaul lol
