15- man woodland., Time to decide.... Options

[Doctor]

Ok guys, with a crap big game that a lot of us had to miss I don't know about you chaps but I need more action. Steve Bull has confirmed that we can put a squad in so I need to know who's up for it- definites only please as I can't afford to have lots of people drop out at the last minute.

The event is a 15- man tourney on the 29th May at Wakefield, with 30-minute games played on big fields and there will be 8-10 teams competing. We should be able to camp on the Sat night and then go and get some old-school action on the Sunday, with extra points for using mech/pump/pistol style markers. Team entry is £500, which works out as £35 each for 15 of us or £25 if we can field 20 players. Come on guys, get in if you can as this is going to be a lot of fun and very much our sort of thing. I will be getting in touch with players in Norfolk etc to bulk up the squad, but the more the merrier (and cheaper) so anyone of any level of experience is very welcome. I also need a couple of volunteers to act as bullet catchers

It was a moral victory
But we won anyway by having a great time, not being scenario fags and not cheating or acting like wankers. We won a couple of games and held our own (with a 14-player scratch team using about half mech guns ) in the others once everyone had woken up, stopped vomiting and remembered about using cover etc.
Add in a great party with the new cinema-in-a-shed, fire and Jaffa Cakes and it was actually a pretty good weekend out, so I am definitely in for the next one. We need to make it mech only next time as Jon suggested and keep the horrid Timmies out, hopefully this will also discourage the cheating/whinging/ramping twats and let us play some quality retro woodsball. I could just feel the shadow of a really great event all day as I watched the team shooting tooled-up tourney monkeys with their A5's and blowbacks and the odd pump, right until some 15-year old ripped me up with another fucking Timmy. Again.

Highlights of the weekend included Russ and Jez playing duelling arseholes, Team America in a hut in the safe area (Fuck Yeah!) and helping Olly fill that bastard Qloader again. Big ups to Warren for taking the retro thing the whole nine yards and starting Sunday with copious vomiting and Jez and Dave for learning about the changes regular tournament practice has made to the modern game; standing regally in the open they were left a little bruised and bemused as a head and hopper popped up, gave them five each in about a second and then disappeared. I wish I could have seen it
Russ won Ringer player of the day with some nice work on the tapes and Pete also gets a mention in dispatches for some sneaky flag hanging. Everyone really needs to try and make the next one as it really is a great day playing paintball how it should be played by fat old blokes like me

Also- the site is a possible venue for the next Kenny's (Stargate ) and if so we'll have a few hills to climb but great terrain, a good safe area and a campsite with an amazing view. The weekend after the Camapign Cup is mooted as the time, so I'm saving up for September as Cup followed by Kenny's will be bloody great
