“I Am Legend” at CDWC Sept 6th.

Category: Events

I am Legend Game Command Decision’s Wargame Center in Taylorsville, NC has some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the MPP game scheduled there for Sept 20-21 (OP U-Go Burma) is being canceled by Ben Torricelli, MPP GAMES Producer, for personal reasons. The good new is… CDWC is replacing it with it’s own scenario, “I Am Legend” on Saturday Sept 6th, based on the 2007 Will Smith movie (or the 1995 book by Richard Matheson for those of you with a library card!) 

The game will be a change of pace for CDWC players as it will NOT be your father’s mil-sim event, but a theme-based game focused on the fun aspects of paintball (versus the silly, old, non-fun military/historical combat stuff!) The price will be lower than most scenarios at $25 per player and paint will be available by the half case to make it easier on players pockets.

This is a great concept, but here’s my question… why not make this theme a night game closer to Halloween and just scare the bejeezus out of everybody? You strobe light lifesize posters of Ferg without a mask on the field and paintballers all over the Carolinas wet their camo jammies everytime their nightlight goes out for the next few months. (You do use a nightlight, right? Is that just me again? Damn!)

For more information, you can read up on it at CDWC’s forum or their web site or at Scenario Supply. You can also contact CDWC at (828) 320-5238 or info@scenariosupply.com.

    Reprinted in 1995, but originally published in 1954! Now, a game based on the book would certainly be interesting - a bunch of out of shape, not particularly smart, alcoholic guys trying to decide whether they care enough to take on impossible odds. No, that’ll never work for a paintball game - too close to real life.
