OK - Thordic, round up the men because we are going to Normandy! If anyone is interested in this game I am trying to get an AO group together. This is a great opportunity to meet the people you have come to know so well on AO and play 24 hours of kickass paintball! Email me if you are interested. I may be able to pick you up if you live in the 5 boroughs.


D-DAY
a 24-Hour Scenario Game
JULY 13th & 14th, 2002

Come out to enjoy the fun and savor the action!


We will be converting our newly acquired front field acreage into the beaches of Normandy for this production. A Landing craft will disgorge US warriors from 6 locations for their assault across 75 yards of wide open beach-head…complete with bunkers, tank traps, and disabled military vehicles.

SCENARIO:

The beaches are still in the early morning light; the German forces secure in their protective bunkers, calmly anticipate the allied attack. In the landing craft, US soldiers nervously await the first wave of assaults. The landing craft gangplanks slam down, and anxious soldiers rush out onto a painfully barren shore and very uncertain future. As the Nazi bunkers spew a tremendous barrage of fire, the attacking forces dig into their tenuous hiding spots; wishing they could evaporate into the ground. Will the German defense fail? Can the allied landing succeed?? German artillery barrages will pound the beach, as machine gun fire rakes every possible hiding spot. The allied destroyers big off shore guns will shell the German emplacements. Success or failure for the allies will hinge their determination, and the capable efforts of paratroops inserted behind enemy lines. Once (or if) the landing succeeds, the fighting will move inland to the farms and villages of France. Scenario players will be able to interact with French resistance, Vichy French, Gestapo agents, even Berlin Betty - the Nazi radio propagandist. There will be house to house fighting during the night as searchlights sweep the fields.

I'm probably going with some friends. Does anyone know if you're assigned to a side, or do you pick?

Want to see who is going from here and all sign up for the same team? Get some kind of AO thing going. I think my friends want to be on the German side though. They would rather be defenders.

I'll be going (since I only live 25 minutes away) and I'd love to meet up if everyone wants to. Met a few guys from AO at Hunger Moon, would be nice to meet the rest. Oh.. if you were at Hunger Moon.. I was MV medic for the injuns.

My team was at Hunger Moon. We had the big scary guy with the mohawk. Unfortunately, I'm not attending D-Day. My offroad club's big east coast event is that weekend. Oh well. :(

Does anyone have a prference as to which side to sign up for? I don't really care much which said we are on, however playing a Nazi somehow seems strange.

They have a lot of balls raising the price of paint from 4 cents to 5 cent a ball just for this occasion. Money hungry thieves! Miles to walk to get air too. With paint approaching 30 dollars a case now, count me(and a lot of other people) out!:mad:

from the best that i've seen tunaman, the paint has been 5cents a ball for atleast a year at the scenarios there, since i've gone to all of them in about the last 1 1/2 to 2 years.

I dont know if anyone is actually organizing any AO group, but me and about 6 friends are going, and will most likely be on the German side.
