Gen Kill Schedule
Come Early to Prepare
In order to get the most action time, we are starting the game at 10am sharp on Saturday morning, preceding a 9am safety briefing and a 9:40am headcount at the various launch points (for bonus points). This means that getting in early and prepped will be crucial to your side starting with points right out of the gate, so to speak. Read more
No commentsPashtun Registrations Capped for GenKill!
Registrations are Filling Fast!
With two and a half weeks until Generation Kill: A Bad Afternoon in Afghanistan, the registrations are coming in fast and furious. The Pashtun Mafia is already capped off at 80 players! The Taliban and U.S. Marines side are gaining ground quickly.
TALIBAN: IT’S GOOD TO BE BAD!
The Taliban army is being commanded by Kevin Shimwell, owner of Adventure Beach Paintball in Tabor City, NC. Kevin is a very aggressive player and loves the action of paintball. His years and years experience and knowledge of the game will be a couple of major factors in the winning of this event. Kevin is as laid back a character as you would ever want to meet… until he needs to charge into battle and then it’s a different story! You can contact Kevin @ taliban@genkillpaintball.com.
If Kevin’s years of experience weren’t enough of an advantage for the Taliban, the first thing he did was recruit (Larry) “Ironman” of Rogue Cell. Rogue Cell is one of the most respected teams in the region and Ironman is known for leading from the front. Picture Sgt. Rock, only taller. Much taller. Ironman is well known for his strategic tactics and use of communications to turn games around. Anyone thinking this game will be one sided, may need to wonder which side that will be!
MARINES: HOORAH!
The Marines First Recon Unit will be lead by Eric “Lifer” Brooks from Team AFC out of West Virginia. This last year, I had the privelege of commanding a core unit at Fulda Gap and having Lifer and Team AFC on my unit and they are “name takers and widow makers” You point these guys at a target and try to find a new target before they have decimated that last one! Eric and his group were our first choice to lead the Marines at Gen Kill simply because they exemplify duty, dedication, aggressiveness and commitment. He has already recruited a number of out of state teams to “bring it” to the Taliban and the Pashtun. The Marines could use a couple of action-oriented NC teams that know the opposition teams to act as a counter-strike force. If you are looking for a side that will do our military proud, contact Lifer and sign up for the Marines side.
Still A Great Deal for Great Cause!
You can still get $10 off the regular price (for a limited time) and $5 off a case of paint if you pre-register at ScenarioSupply.com. We are working with the USO to identify a military family impacted by the war in Afghanistan, so a portion of your registration goes to help someone who sacrificed for our country.

No commentsThe Road To No Ends: A Quick Aftermath
Adventure Beach Paintball in Tabor City, NC hosted another great game this weekend. The torrential rains on Friday made the field a little muddier than usual but still playable. Of the two armies, the Hidden and the Knowing, The Knowing ( lead by Chris Nienow of Port City Militia) dominated the field on the Saturday portion of the game. A number of pre-committed teams for The Hidden didn’t make it to make the game and that may have been enough to tip the scales. Unfortunately beyond their control, Capitol Offense got stuck in “Snowpocalypse” when Washington became inundated with snow. Billy “Greenman” Ford, the general for The Hidden, devised a great plan which actually worked against him after The Knowing divided and conquered the field on Saturday. Missions became harder and harder to accomplish when the yellow taped Knowing saturated an area where the mission props lay. The Myrtle Beach Sun News covered the story and have some great pictures of the event. About 200 players attended the game that ran from Friday evening to Sunday morning. The night game on Saturday was changed to an extended day game due to temperatures and wind conditions. The game Sunday was full of surpirses and twists as Greenman dressed as a speedballer to infiltrate the Knowings base and steal the main prize. Nienow retaliated by sneding a spy right into Greenman’s CP. Kudos to Turtle and Derek, XOs of the Hidden, for great comms work. Jason “foolybear” Lineberger covered the event for Action Pursuit Games. Kevin Shimwell, owner of ABP summed it up best, ” That is one of the great things about paintball. Newcomers and experiences paint-slingers all have a chance to be the hero and have some fun. Skill level might have its benefits, but it really comes down to the willingness to get out there and get the job done.” The Knowing simply wanted it more. Congratulations to them all for a game well played!
