It’s bad enough when the bad guys beat you, it worse when you have to sing the Star Spangled Banner in front of 120 people on a bet, it’s a frigging nightmare when the stupid bet was your idea in the first place! That’s exactly what happened at Wolf Creek’s Vietnam Heat: Operation Cedar Falls recently!

The producer of the game, Andrew “Ferg” Ferguson of Tactical Diversions (otherwise known as Command Decision’s Wargame Center), asked me if I would like to general at July 19th event and after checking with my team to make sure they were up for the challenge, we agreed.  I have to admit I had a couple of late nights worrying about the score possibly ending up at 2000 - 0.

 If the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, the road to success is paved with planning, marketing and hard work. Saturday, July 28th saw the kick off (punt?) of X-treme Tactical Paintball and Carolina Panther’s DeAngelo Williams’ “Army of Ten“, a ten-man team woodsball tournament at the Waxhaw, NC field.

Mostly, they just “practiced” slapping my squad around like Bobby does Whitney. But without doubt, it was one of the most enjoyable slapdowns we’ve had in a long time. (You have to pay extra for that in Vegas you know!) Read more

My squad had the three man sniper team pinned down in the gully we had backed them into. I was laying down a world of fire on them, targeting their heads in my scope and talking trash about their manhood. I capped one almost simultaneously as “Bones” popped up right behind them, shot my target and yelled “Surrender” to his partner. They both sat with their hands up as my squad encircled them as prisoners. The first blood was ours, but the third sniper had rabbited! Read more
