Question about Skirmish Paintball USA

[gdog441]

Has anyone ever been to their scenario games? I was thinking about going to the D Day one, but its $50 to get in AND you have to buy their paint at $70 a case. Anyone know how easy it is to sneak paint into that place? By the way its in Pennsylvania. I cant afford to blow off $200 24 hours of paintball.

All I got to say to that, is those are pretty normal prices for a 24hr game, a little on the cheap side actually. As far as sneaking paint in. Its real easy to get caught. They usually use a batch of paint made for that game. (They order enough of the same type for that game, I.E. bulk order)

if its only $70 a case your lucky skirmish is uslly $100 a case...for crap like 32* stuff

I didn't know that those prices were "cheap" for a scenario game. I don't play scenario games too often as most of them seem dumb, guys running around with nightvision scopes and such, but this one looks decent.

It is definatly worth it IMO. I went to D-Day last year and I am going again this year. It is crazy so many people, and it wouldnt be very hard to sneak paint in, but the problem is you just have to find out what kind of paint they will be using. You can usually call like a week to two weeks in advance and they will tell you what kind they are going to get for the tourney. I went to a tournment that Skirmish held in september of last year, and some kids were shooting other paint that the field sold (it wasnt byop by the way). They got disqualifed but the only reason they got caught was just because the field paint was white and they were using yellow filled paint. Anyways back to topic if I were you I would go any way just because it is one of the coolest things they have there.

get use to it bud, senario games are usually around 50-100 admission with 70-120 for a box of paint. This could be good or bad. but for me, i shoot a dye trix, which means in spplat attack II, i spent around 280 just on paint.

Paint will not be 70. It will be 100 a case. 70 is if you get 10 at a time or some other large number. They just use that to lure people like you in.

It's not that hard to get it in, but if we catch you get the boot and no refund or you my just get a warning, but all your paint will be dumped and whoever dumped it will do a happy dance on it.

And once illegal paint is seen. The refs will go around and check hoppers and pods.

No not at the scenario games. The price is 70-80 a case depending on brand. What you're talking about is for normal play.

Sweet. Now I get more paint. Thanks for correcting me PRPB.

I know for a fact that if you go to buy 1 case of paint at Skirmish D-Day they will charge you $90-$100 a case. $70 is for orders of 12 or more cases. However, it is extremely easy to get together with a group of players to get the discount. You could just get 12 guys together and each get one case of paint at $70 a case, or you could jump in with a group that is already making a large purchase. I wouldn't try to sneak in paint, the refs were really cracking down on it last year and if you get hit by non field paint you are not out. D-Day was a blast, go and have fun, Ill be there for sure.

Your better off just buying the paint. Personally I think the owners of skirmish are a bunch of rich bastards and the only reason they have their prices so high to play there is that they keep on buying land up. I think they have something like 700 or so arces of land. Then they need like so many refs and what not to take out groups, sell paint, fill up air. I'm sorry but I just dont think its nessarcy to have as many fields as skirmish does and as much as land as it owns. I would think of they owned half as many fields,land, and employees the prices would be cheap. But as for now the only reason I come close to Skirmish USA is to play the GPL

[Pacifist_Farmer]

dont get me wrong I really liked the place


but last time I was there, that was oh 3 years ago, for a "world-record" game

The refs sucked and every time they filled your CO2, they cut the disk in the on/off, even when we told them dont open it more than 3/4 of a turn

all in all it was good, especially the strip show at the end, I'm still glad they gave the top prize to the girl who left the t-shirt on

Seems odd, considering last year at the Scenario games it WAS 100 a case, 70 bulk order only. And I have a very hard time believing it when on the site they read

PAINT: Event Paint Only! Cases $70.00 and up depending on quantity purchased.

But my suggestion above all isn't even about cost. It's refs, safety. Skrimish is, as I call it, a disaster waiting to happen. I can't think of any other field where so many players lift up masks, or where so many walk onto the field without even chronographing. That complete lack of safety that I continue to see at Skirmish is what will continue to keep me AWAY from Skirmish. And until I can see any change in that regularly, I will continue to ignore and not attend that facility.
