Action Pursuit Games magazine has a new editor-in-chief and you may see a few differences in the future. For one thing, instead of just seeing articles about events 3 months AFTER they occur, you can now get sneak peeks at UPCOMING events, such the preview of Command Decisions‘ Fulda Gap coming this November 6-8 to Taylorsville, NC. In the “November” 2009 issue (which came out in August?), the very first feature in the magazine is the “pre-game warmup” for the biggest game in the east coast. Read more

Okay, not literally. Ole Lar is probably a pretty good guy (as weathermen go), but while you’re waiting for Doppler Radar to tell you what the weather is going to be like 2 months from now, your local paintball field owner is freaking out because nobody is pre-registering for his events. Paintballers have always been that way and it seems unlikely that this article will change their procrastinating ways, but  let’s give it a shot, shall we? Read more

Ferg from Command Decisions sent this to me. This is probably not a surprise to anyone, but it seems that Team: Tango Alpha2 was voted number 8 of the Top 12 Most Disturbing Paintball Teams. Weirdly, we just narrowly beat out ODX at number 9 (and they have TANKS!).  Oobject.com puts up various lists and somehow our team ranked. Now I know we ARE ‘disturbed’, but ‘disturbing’? Well, I guess we will take it as flattery. At least they spelled our names right. The photo was taken at Vietnam Heat about 16 months ago. I don’t even know who SOME of those guys are! I am a little concerned that we ranked more disturbing than a team made up of all Indians… and an American vs Iraq Jordanian team. Well, come to think of it, we do have a couple of guys from Matthews, NC that worry me a bit. Ferg and I decided that you should go up and vote for us. If we’re going to do something, we might as well be the best… even if it is being The Most Disturbing. (I send ‘em a picture of me in my Spiderman Underoo Pajamas and we win hands down!) I got your disturbing right HERE!

After a few years of the same look and feel, the Fulda Gap web site (FuldaGap.com) has gotten a little facelift. Not a stretched-my-chin-around-to-my-ears-”Nip/Tuck” overhaul, but an update in navigation and style. The site was designed and developed by Metheney Consulting, Inc. (don’t make me use the word ‘geniuses’ out loud!) and keeps the old site’s color scheme and sense of history while using a Top Secret briefing folder as its metaphor. You’ll also see some new patch/logo designs that go on the site, one design for NATO and one for the Warsaw Pact. The site is still a work in progress, in that Ferg and Lee Ann are updating the field, so the maps may change and new sponsors are signing up everyday. If you have comments or suggestions for the site, please send them to info@scenariosupply.com.

Port City Militia and Adventure Beach Paintball in Tabor City, NC are presenting “Army of Darkness: Evil Ash Strikes Back!“.  The event will kick off September 5th and is based on actor Bruce Campbell’s 1992 B movie hit (okay “hit” may be a little strong… unless you compare it to his Elvis portrayal in the 2002 “Bubba Ho-Tep“) You may more commonly recognize him from cameos in all the Spiderman movies or as the sidekick in USA’s Burn Notice. Bruce may not be there, but the Port City Militia and their kilts will be showing up to make sure the game is fun and exciting. Read more

Paintball Virginia presents Scorched Earth Chapter 2, August 15th and 16th (originally scheduled for Aug 7-8th - I know, what can you do?) Bart is hosting the event and more details can be found at CarolinaPaintballers.com and Paintball Virginia. (Does anybody else get a major “Professor X” vibe from the X-Men movies off the guy in the poster?) Last I heard there was going to be at least one tank patrolling PBVa…

Day of the event $55 (for both days of play)
Pre-order paint $45.00 case (FPO)

The BT Global Game is less than a week away and fields all over the world are preparing. Locally, Boss Paintball and Black River Paintball (BR  Sports) are hosting the BT sponsored game this Saturday, August 8th. We broke the details here back on July 9th and pre-registation has been open almost that long at Boss Paintball. While you can’t pre-register at the $25, you can still register for $35. A number of well established teams are planning to be there and this looks to be a great time.
