Hostile Intentions

NORTH v SOUTH 2010 JUDGEMENT DAY 1st and 2nd of May.

After our victorious campaign in NVS 2009 winning best Squad, warped sports contacted us to ask if either Chuck or myself (Jason) were up for taking on the roll of general. We said hell yes! After careful deliberation Chuck generously gave me the roll of general (due to my organisational skills) in favour of leading the Hostiles in the field where Chuck is at his best, streaming paint at the unsuspecting enemy and leading us to get the job done.

This is obviously a very big honour and responsibility but one I know the Hostiles and myself are up for.

The Web site for NvS is up, complete and full operational NOW www.northvsouth.com Check it out.
This years game scenario is a follow on from last year concept of Consription. To coincide with the real general election this year the game will be based on elections. There will be polling stations and they are also going to be issuing ballot cards to players. This screams more fights in and around buildings (which is what we love)

I will be posting up more details of our involvement up on the forum, we also get a couple of small consession for our efforts. Most importantly I will need everyones ideas and advice about tactics, whether that is tips for our squad or ideas for managing the 750 players we will have under our command.

IF YOU THOUGHT WE ROCKED AT NVS LAST YEAR YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET.

ARROWS IN THE WIND 3. 30th of AUGUST 2009
This summers Arrows In the wind promises to be the best yet with an expanded playing area, New Alpha HQ,  more barricades and two new game scenarios.

It is 1951 the UN reinforced South Korean forces are reeling back after the devastating loss of Seoul. Realising the Chinese supported North Korean army are at the full extension of their supply line the US commander Lieutenant-General Ridgeway plans an ambitious counter offensive: operation “round-up” starting with reconnaissance missions.

Recruiting the “Hostile Intentions” GREEN berets coupled with elite South Korean soldiers they plan a daring night parachute drop deep in the enemy occupied Hoengsong. The mission dubbed “arrows in the wind” would be one of the most notorious in the war. Their objective was simple collect Intel regarding the North Korean supply lines and numbers of reinforcements, disrupt enemy supply lines and destroy ammunition dumps and then get out. What they encountered was far more important than they could have imagined.

While it was no secret this Korean “civil” war was really a proxy war with the north being supplied by communist China and the south supported by UN but mostly US forces. The USSR’s involvement was a covert operation which if discovered could turn the cold war into a very real all in super power conflict.

Russian General Chuckski has been operating in the Hoengsong province distributing Russian weapons and ammunition but most notably co-ordinating the use of Russian mobile missile units and attacks made by Russain piloted jet fighters against the air superior US forces.

General Chuckski is furious to discover the arrows in the wind mission have compromised his operations. He quickly orders to both the North Korean Army and his own BLACK legion Russian special forces to swarm the area to eliminate Hostile intentions and their South Korean cohorts before they can cause any damage or return with incriminating evidence of Russian involvement in the war.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW!!!!!

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.

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.
