Games,fields and teams to watch.

Let me start by saying I have played alot of fields and I am always looking to play new ones. Some fileds I will visit soon and may add comments at said time. Same goes for certain games or events. And the players list will grow with every game I attend.

So let me start with games that strike me as the most fun,different, difficult and enjoyable.

Panzer Attack-Bailey's battlefield.

This has been and continues to be one of my all time favorite games. The field is wooded With simple but effective bases and even though Bill only does one game a year there. He is always improving the field for each Panzer game. I like this game for the following it brings some players I only see at this game because it is like a paintball holiday drawing players from all over the country and Canada. Which is saying something since many would consider this a "Smaller" game. Like I have said before I feel it has to do with the ole Pirate behind it the Heart and soul of the Midwest scenerio Bill Bailey.

Red Storm Rising-CPX Joliet Ill.

Another game I truly enjoyed was Red Storm Rising. This was a game put on by the Hellions out of the Chicago area at CPX in joliet. It was simple to follow the game flow and it was very well thought out. The props were top notch and it was a great story. I met alot of people at this game and many had never played a scenerio but the did great. The Hellions were gracious host and with the high quality of professionalism made for a great day of paintball.

Ohklahoma DDAY- Wyndotte Ok.

What can compare to nearly 4000 players and lots of tanks battling for supremacy? I love this game for the game itself. I have been a grunt and I have commanded a unit for 2 years and have been on the German command staff. There is so much that goes into this game and it evolves each year trying to make the game better as it goes. There are aspects which some never see or appreciate. The commanders and staff of both sides deserve a round of applause for their work. Trust me they start working the day after the event until the day of the following years event. Players travel from around the world to attend the one and only DDAY. To me what makes this event remarkable is the guest speaker for the last couple of years. Jake McNiece was acting sergeant of the filthy thirteen whose exploits inspired the dirty dozen movies. He calls it like he sees it and his stories are inspiring as to what we can do as a country. I bought his book and it is a great read and I recommend it to everyone.

Pirates Plunder- Paintballtogo Roodhouse Ill.

Who wouldn't love a paintball game on a real pirate ship? Everyone dresses as pirates and the battle for the high seas is epic paintball fun. Joe the Captain of the captains owns Paintballtogo and is a truly remarkable field owner. He makes it his personal mission to insure fun be had by all. Sadly this game is on hiatus due to the small numbers in the last few years.

Teams to watch for.

Ghost Recon- These guys for years were the nemesis of my Team Green Devils. For one simple reason they play hard both on and off the field. I have a world of respect and am honored to play with or against this team. Many of their players are top notch and are always a friendly face. They truly understand the concept of mixed arms and use it to their advantage. So Punisher and company here is my salute to you.

Omega red- I am proud to say I have watched this team grow and change over the years. They are always rock solid and I can run with any grup of this team and feel right at home. They work well in large groups and can do the solo lone wolf thing. Among this team they have some great paintball medics and just a good core of solid players.

Lapu Lapu-Played with this team at Red storm rising. They bring the pain do not shrink from overwhelming odds. To try and talk to them on a radio can be entertaining as they speak Philipino.(at least I think it is!) With their tiger stripe uniforms the look like something out yesteryear but are stand up players.

I will continue to add teams and games with regular post
