ARROWS IN THE WIND TWO A MASSIVE SUCCESS

Feb
24

With 81 players on the field the battles were a plenty!

The Hostiles lead a impressive charge on the first game, winning the game, at one point securing all 5 flag posts. Unfortunately this victory would be their last for the day. With the taste the last Arrows defeat on their lips and defeat looming over them after the first game Chuck from extreme pulled out victory after victory winning the remaining games.

The good news is an exciting day of paintball was had by all.  And most importantly TACTICS reigned supreme with battles being fought in every corner of every field.  Both sides at one point took all five flag posts in each of the two flag post games. The action never stopped as intense firefights pushed fronts back and forth all day while flanking squads made sure that teams had to have adaptive, reactive defences.

Hats off to Bill (our demoltion expert) who went all spinter cell, penetrating the enemy line WITHOUT A MARKER to destroy two of their engines in the second research and destroy game.  And also congratuations to Rich Widlake who when, all else was lost in the last game patiently waited in the undergrowth while the enemy were almost on top of him and took out Chuck the enemy special character preventing them from achieveing their objective.  Well Done to you champions and all who were there.

Watch out for ARROWS IN THE WIND 3 most likely some time in September.

Thank you to all involved in making this such an awesome event.

Tickets for Hostile Intentions’ Arrows In The Wind 2 Big Game are now SOLD OUT! It’s hotting up to be a great weekend!

North V South

Feb

If you haven’t checked it out already visit www.northvsouth.com .  This years north v south looks to be the best yet with with a brand new venue on an army training facility in Staffordshire just north of Birmingam (look it up on google earth with the post code ST15 0QN). The major problem with big game previously was the lack of cover to move through resulting in relatively tacticless play, often with herds of players out in the open long balling hoping for a lucky hit. For me that isn’t paintball, this new site though offers 8 underground bunkers,  forward operating base, rangers, close quarter battle buildings, urban fighting environments, and woods and scrubland in between. It promises to be awesome.

So start saving your pennies,  BUY YOUR TICKETS BEFORE 14th of FEB for £50 – or £55 before 1st of April.

So clear your calendar for the 2-3 of MAY. We want to have a big presence this year.  Last year we did some great things but one thing that let us down a little was not all of us were in uniform so we didn’t look like a team. So in spite of the fact we were one of the biggest and most effective teams there nobody knew it.  So our  goal this year is to get everyone in multicam, myself and some of the other players have offered to lend out sets if you haven’t invested in some yet. MULTICAM!! GET SOME!!!!!

Seondly the site is pretty big about a mile across and finding the rest of your team at big game is not an easy task. Communication is the big key to success in a big game playing as a team we can achieve so much more and have more fun too. As we are primarily an American team we are going for American Walkie Talkies.  This has two distinct advantages: ONE they are cheaper. TWO they use a different frequency so we don’t need to worry about other people listening in or using our frequency. NO OTHER LARGE TEAM HAS ALL OF ITS MEMBERS WITH WALKIES.  This big game we can have some serious fun, working together and flanking instalations.

Obviously don’t forget OUR scenario day arrows in the wind two on the 22nd of feb.
