Given some interest, let me tell you a bit about the event.
Fox paintball is a 14 acre field that is adjacent to the fox River (generally the river is out of bounds). The majority of the field is wooded, but there is a small village, a big honking hill (I hate the hill) and many outposts and other features scattered about. 700 players makes this an in your face event. You dont have to travel far to find a fight. However, the event is mission based so kill counts are not priority.
Were not talking your run of the mill, get this find that go there missions. They require some thought, some detective work, some creativity and are often mutli-faceted. So they run more like, find this area, locate the hidden stuff, decode the message to find out where the rest of the stuff is, assemble the object and take it to location x. To make it challenging there are multiple tanks, 2 mercenary teams (in addition to teh rangers and SEALs) and the producer always throws in some twists to the plot.
At mid-day we break for some lunch and one of the events highlights, the Gauntlet. We open 3 speedball fields and cram everyone in for 30 minutes of chaos. The objective last year was to collect kick balls and run them to barrels on the 50. Its insane. This is followed by the general vs general pistol duel then afternoon missions commence.
\Hell I can talk all day or you can watch this:
