Vietnam Patrol 2007 at Command Decisions Paintball

We will have the Beast, The APC, The Wallace (unless they are still working on it), and then my Recon Vehcile as far as armor.

Now you guys that have armor, it would be a great chance to get some tank time on the field before September. Have tank, will travel? Bring them up. We like armor alot. But then again, who doesnt?

I can't wait to play this. I know the story, there was a show on the History channel about this. My Dad was a LRRP with the Big Red One in Vietnam, so I like to keep up with the History of it. I like to play a game that's got a good story, and is a fun learning experience.

Man, I'm stoked to play. Our forum is on fire about this game. Do you think we can start a running list of teams of that are participating and which they side they are playing on? Might be a good way to network and look for forum buddies at an event.

FnA will be playing for the winning team (also know as the VC)

SHADOW COMPANY will be on the VC.

I went out on a limb and already said who I thought was going to win. The Vietnamese side looks stacked with too many good teams to vote for the Americans... I keep hearing everyone saying they are NVA or VC... I havent heard but one team say they were Americans.

Guys your gonna make this a hard fight to win for the good guys.

Hey guys here is the updated field map for this event.

[thumper]

oh the pain...but its a good pain.

Great game yall. I was suprised at the quality of the scenario teams that obviously hang out there. Many places have the obligatory speedball guys that let off a little steam at the scenario fields - but CD seems to attract the scenario ballers dedicated to scenario ball. My kind of place.

You can tell ODX, Rogue Cell, and Capitol Punishment spend a bit of time there - and it shows. The place is designed for scenario play. plenty of land, lots of fortified objectives, plenty of localized deadboxs (with water - thanks!)
And the natural terrain is used very well.

The play was very stand up - clean ball. Plenty of refs. I didnt see any "heated discussions". and the refs were always where they were needed.

I think we saw around 225 players - split into 4 armies - VC, NVA // US and USSF - sided Pink against Yellow.

at 1pm the score was 700ish VC to 450ish US
at 5pm game over and US won by 40



Constructive feedback:

Exactly what the game entailed was confusing. Hold the objectives at the designated times I understand - but I never heard the times, and what the objectives were. We heard scoring at "top of the hour" and later it seemed more random. Perhaps a bit of clarity prior the game would help. The map is a bit busy - is it possible to dumb it down some?
The tanks need to be clearly marked as to which side they are on. It was more than a bit confusing. A stage or platform for briefings and award ceremonies would help. we could not hear or see much during the safety briefing or awards presentations. Its time for a few new chronos - or maybe have the big reds checked and verified.

we all had a great time - loved the field and greatly looking forward to future events.
