Black Karma Get New Toys.

In November, we attended one of our favorite games of the year, Game of Thrones 4 produced by Millennium Paintball Productions.   The producer, Ben Torricelli, takes great care into making sure the game will be great event for all that attend between the elaborate missions and one-on-one tournament where players fight for a sword.   This year’s installment placed the Tyrell House against the Freemen House.   Our task at game on was to hold off a force of 200 with only 30 defending.   Eventually after attrition took its toll, we helped push towards our base and stretch to our favorite spot on the field, the schoolhouse (Frostfang for this event).   The speedball missions were fun as well in western town (Giant’s Pass). This year we had a few new pieces of equipment in attendance: Planet Eclipse’s CS1 and the Gtek.   Both of them made me giggle with anticipation and excitement after shooting them.   I cannot say enough about how smooth both of these markers shoot and how eas

Rebels, tour of Norway- final stage…

Last round of the Norwegian Paintball League were played in Degernes, a redneck county near the Swedish border. The home-team has the best suited team name of all: Degernes Rednecks . The Rednecks have worked a lot on their field since last year and did a good job arranging the last event. The last event is filled with a lot of excitement; it’s not only the winners of this event that will be crowned, but also the winners of the whole season. It’s been tight in all divisions and in Elite the top teams were only a few points apart…. Rebels started off against a strong mix-team called Nurkets Crew, the control was on Rebels side, but they still gave away some points on not so smart moves. The result ended 4:2 to Rebels Next up was Blast, last time they met in NPL3 Rebels held them in the back bunkers using loads of paint and taking the win. This time someone had a great idea – why not play M500 to save paint? As expected, that was not in favor of Rebels and the Bl

Team Capital Offense Delivers the Best Upgrade

Paintballers at all levels are always looking for the latest upgrade.   In our sport the slightest edge can mean the difference between hanging the flag and dragging feet to the deadbox.   Line-of-Fire Paintball offers players of all ages a chance to upgrade the most essential aspect of the gear – themselves. Each summer Line-of-Fire puts on a three day paintball skills camp.   Campers range from 10-years-old to 60, but they all come for the same reasons: to have fun, to improve their skills, and to add some new techniques to their repertoires.   This year’s experience covered the basics that everyone needs to play the sport, then focused on some skills specific to the scenario side of the sport. Jason “foolybear” Lineberger, Joel Krenzer, and Brian Radford, all of Team Capital Offense, served as the camp instructors.   Each day began with skill work on the airball field, including: gun fighting essentials, movement, communication, teamwork – aspects of the ga

Bounty Hunters – Playing for C-Wood

As the Bounty Hunters arrived at Indy’s Battleground Paintball “Predator’s Bane” scenario game on October 17, our attention was divided. Aside from the usual excitement that comes with playing the game we all love, our thoughts were also with the man for whom we all gathered to support. Chris “C-Wood” Woodell serves as a mentor to many paintball players in the Louisville, KY area. Many who have taken the field with him over the years consider him a friend and a brother. On August 28, Chris was involved in a horrific car accident. He suffered several significant injuries. He was airlifted to the hospital, has undergone several surgeries, and likely has several to go. To help with his mounting medical bills, Indy’s Battleground Paintball decided to host a scenario event with 50% of admission and five dollars of each case of paint being donated to Chris’s GoFundMe campaign. The Bounty Hunters joined the NATO Special Operations Forces, with our own Tyler Winn serving as general

Capital Offense – They Shoot, They Score!

  It’s been a busy fall paintball season for Team Capital Offense.   Fields and producers, amped on surging numbers of players, have put out more scenario action than teams know how to handle!   Here are a few highlights from the past few months. In August the team split for the Star Wars vs. Star Trek game at OXCC in Maryland and the Borderlands scenario at Boss Paintball in North Carolina.   The NC contingent fought under former Vicious pro Matt Sossoman as we rocked the front lines in a hard-fought contest.   Capital Offense shooter, Brian Radford, racked up the award all players want – the one given for being the biggest threat to the opposing team. September once again saw the team pulled in two directions.   The northern contingent made a strong showing at SplatBrothers , while the southern crew set up shop in North Myrtle Beach, SC for the annual Invasion of Japan scenario at Adventure Beach Paintball .   Team members brought families along for a mini vacation
