Country:  | Paintball scenarios to check out
I don't know the specifics, but there is a D-Day Ohklahoma that is set on a Lake. Why a lake? Because ya' gotta storm the beaches from landing craft that take you inland. The whole thing is 3 days long, and I'm looking forward to next year when it happens again. There is even a contest to see who can make the most historically accurate paintball tank... and you have got to love that. Also, from what I remember, reproduction outfits of the various armies involved are optional wear for the scenario. Just so you know, the thing attracts over 6,000 paintballers annually. |

Country:  | What kind of armor and stuff do they have? I'd make it an obligation for every single militarist as a historical education, especially skinheads and those Nazi-admirers, and they'd have to be naked. | |

Country: | I'll scan some pictures tonight, till then here we go... Oh and another one that just came and passed was Monte Cassino II. Also, I think a paintball place holds a recreation of Stalingrad in the Illinois winter, complete with ruined buildings!!!
The pictures came from www.oklahomadday.com

Country: | Yeah, it is an abandoned concrete factory, where they used to make panels for the "Project" buildings... It is very much industrial and not obvious from those pics but it has several floors, vehicle wrecks, outposts.... Real fun there! | |

Country: | Paintballs are very expensive... Its cheaper to buy ammo for a handgun or rifle and shoot all day as opposed to buying paintballs for the same amount of fun...

Well unless you get rid of the body, that would work.
I love using a shotgun to cut trees in half or using a 7mm rifle for target practice. Even doing skeets is fun. Wife does not understand, but I think its the "guy" thing. Shooting, destroying things is fun. Most women just don't understand.
