Hostile Intentions

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.

Staargate was Awesome!

The Hostiles played great as a team even though we had a small contigent of only 10 of us and a hand full of ring-ins we did great with some really memorable battles. Espeically in and around the fort we had some amazing team play which saw us hammer those reds (the baddies).   Early on in the day we pulled off a great pincer move out flanking reds attacking the fort. It was glorious and we racked up a very serious kill count attacking the reds line from behind.

The combination of some great terrain and some good cover and instalations made it a great field to play,  but the scenario crowd the game drew was what made the event special.  Scenario ballers just tend to be loads more friendly and relaxed.

I didn’t hang around for the presentations at the end of the day but I think it was pretty obvious that we kicked serious ass, hammering the reds in both elimination (even though no points were scored for kills) and in scenario points, we, the blues were victorious.

Our next big scenario event is the battle of the bulge.  Keep watching for more details.

PS thanks to Olly for organising the paint discounts.  Even though he couldn’t make it on the day as he was “busy” or getting busy or something.

TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR ARROWS IN THE WIND 2!
