Paintball this weekend - Orion Valley - March 20, 2010

We will be playing this Saturday, March 20th in the Valley. We'll get started with playing at 10am, with guest briefing at 9:45am, so make sure you are ready to go at that time. The weather is supposed to be sunny and mild. Looks like that stinkin' cold is behind us and we can get back to some respectable paintball weather. =)

Primary scenario: Sniper/Counter-Sniper!

Ok - boys (and girl) - it's time to break out the ghillie suits. We are transported back to the magical late 70s/early 80s in good ole Northern Ireland for the time of the Troubles. This isn't a short story by Liam O'Flaherty - it's the real deal action (or as close as we can get to it with paintball guns).

And nothing like Northern Ireland. =)

“Well, there is a literal connection.”

Special requirements: Well, ghillie suits obviously. What else? Camo netting, radios, and your paintball sniper rifles (LOL)

If you plan on bringing on someone as a guest this weekend, please let me know in advance, so that we can have some gear put aside for them.

Bring a ruck and what you need to sustain while playing.

Please note, if you need directions they are posted in the forums, under the "Orion Raiders Paintball" section. There will also be a games discussion for this weekend listed there as well.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Paintball this weekend - Orion Valley - March 6, 2010

We will be playing this Saturday, February 20th in the Valley. We'll get started with playing at 10am, with guest briefing at 9:45am, so make sure you are ready to go at that time. The weather is supposed to be cool and dry - but don't let that discourage you. =)

Primary scenario: INFILTRATOR!!

You know you want it - full 360 degree Infiltrator!

If you've played with us for awhile (a long while), this is the game you have missed. If you haven't - this will blow the Dam Game out of the water.

We'll also be doing an Infiltrator egress scenario - from the fort across the field - avoiding the snipers

Special requirements: This is a great game for grenades, also - bring your Talkabouts/Sport 7s if you have them

Paintball this weekend - Orion Valley - February 20, 2010

We will be playing this Saturday, February 20th in the Valley. We'll get started with playing at 10am, with guest briefing at 9:45am, so make sure you are ready to go at that time. The weather is supposed to be cool and dry - but don't let that discourage you. =)

Primary scenario: Hunter

You have successfully bugged out of the city, but due to the chaos, you have lost your primary weapon. However, you do have some gear, including your back-up pistol, a knife, some rope, and water. Tired from your rapid egress, and bordering on hunger, you follow a small heard of deer into a dark valley. You take a shot a deer, but once you get close to enough to harvest the game, you realize you aren't alone . . . .

Special requirements: Paintball pistol, or pump rifle. If you have neither, you will be hand-loading your primary for this scenario.

Paintball this weekend - Orion Valley - February 6, 2010

Sorry for the late notice on this weekend's game. Our modem went down this week, so we got to reminisce on what life was like back in 1991 . . .

We will be playing this Saturday, February 6th in the Valley. We'll get started with playing at 10am, with guest briefing at 9:45am, so make sure you are ready to go at that time. The weather looks like it will be great - sunny and cool, but it should still be pretty muddy from the rains.

Primary scenario: INFILTRATOR!!

The fort is built and it's time to test it out.

For the first time at Orion Valley, we're going back to the OG - that's right (not the Olive Garden, Wiski!) - full 360 degree Infiltrator!

If you've played with us for awhile (a long while), this is the game you have missed. If you haven't - this will blow the Dam Game out of the water.

Special requirements: None (but the attacking team will be allow radios, so bring your Talkabouts/Sport 7s if you have them).

If you plan on bringing on someone as a guest this weekend, please let me know in advance, so that we can have some gear put aside for them.

Bring a ruck and what you need to sustain while playing. Also bring out some leather gloves and whatever implements of destruction you need to affect changes upon the field.

The First A-Team Trailer

The moment you all have been waiting for is here.

The first trailer for the new A-Team movie got released today and in a word - it looks AWESOME.



A few happies:

1) Liam Neeson looks to be a great Hannibal (cigar and all)

2) Sharlto Copley from District 9 as Murdock

3) Rampage keep the BA Baracus hair-do

3) The A-Team van!

If this is half as good as the trailer looks, then this will more than make up for GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
