2006

ARMOGEDDON 2006

This was fun! A very cold start (brrr) and terrible trouble with paint breaks but such is life. Good site, gameplay and facilities.
A welcome addition to the Big Game calendar.
Had to replace the microphone after this game (it took a beating through the day) so you may have to turn the volume up a bit.

ANCASTER 2006

The first site I’ve been to that has a sign warning of ‘undulating terrain’ – and they weren’t kidding. Very good day.
There’s a background panting noise at the end, which I’d like to point out was a dog and not me.

BRAVEHEART III 2006

It’s taken a while and is a bit rougher than I’d like but here’s the footage from Paintball Pursuits Big Game. Back out as the Irish mercs for a hot day at Scotch Corner, last year we dealt out more nutritious cereal bars than gelatinous death, so it was time to get devious. Painting an icecream holder from the evening before and selling it as a golden artifact was particularly satisfying. A good humoured day.

SAVING RYAN’S 2 2006 – A BRIDGE TOO FAR

Fun and games as the mercenary specialists while the Axis do battle with the Allies. A very memorable final battle at the bridge. The sound went a bit ‘tinny’ when the microphone was knocked out of place but it gives a flavour of the mayhem (sounds like a small child is following me around).

CASPIAN PIPELINE 2006 – NORTH VS SOUTH

Aargh! Problems with condensation in the camera – as you’ll see. Most of the footage was mush. Very good game though. The plot centered around controlling the flow of oil through pumping stations which forced strategic decisions to be made by both commanding Generals.

FLASHPOINT 2006

The cold weather wasn’t kind to the recordings (or travellers) but a great start to the scenario season. I’d been looking for an excuse for nearly a year to get an Ion – if the trusty Tippie went down, it would be a sign. Finally she did. The ratchet went. Easy enough to fix but that was the sign. A visit to those nice fellows at Armotech and I made my first step towards the ‘Dark Side’ of electro-madness.
