Calumet, Colorado: September, 1984. Soviet and Cuban troops land in the football field of the local high school and quickly seize control of the area. Civilians are cut down by the dozens in a hail of indiscriminate gunfire as they dive for cover. In the confusion, a lone group of teenagers manages to escape the slaughter and flee into the mountains, scrounging what weapons they can. Now finding themselves behind enemy lines at the dawn of World War III, they begin a relentless guerilla campaign against the invaders while US troops struggle to push the Communists off American soil.

On September 18th, join Battlefront Paintball and 1st Strike Scenarios for their presentation of Red Dawn. This game will be heavily team-based with four armies. The Soviets, the Cubans, the Americans and the Wolverines. Each army will have to coordinate with its counterpart in order to mutually secure objectives and score points. The teams that do a better job of coordinating with each other will likely be the victors.

The Wolverines will start off with just a handful of players selected from the American team on game day. From there, they will have

the opportunity to recruit additional members from the American team as the day wears on.

Pre-registration can be done at www.battlefrontpaintball.com

Photos will be up some time Sunday – enjoy!!

This is a two part event based on the June 6th, 1944 invasion of Normandy by the Allies.  There will be a four hour night game on June 11th beginning at 9 P.M. and a seven hour day game, including lunch, beginning at 10:00 A.M. on June 12th. This game will be held at Battlefront Paintball in Hubbard, Ohio.  Please be sure you arrive several hours prior to each game so that you are ready to go at the horn for each event.  Participation in the night game is only $5 and is not required to play in the day game.  For those of you playing in the night game, camping is available onsite and is free of charge.
Much has changed since 1st Strike brought their version of this event to Battlefront last year.  The primary focus for 2010 will be on your general’s ability to make sound decisions and lead your team to victory.  Generals will decide what type of missions to send their players on as well as when.  They are no longer restricted to a ridged schedule forced upon them by the scenario producer.  The US team also has a better defined “final objective” this year.  Conversely, the German team will know exactly what they need to do to prevent the US from securing that objective.
Revisions to the opening battle for Omaha beach have been made to make the experience more challenging as well as more enjoyable.  Although members of the US team are already boasting otherwise, we predict a much more difficult escape from the beach for them this year as the Germans will enjoy temporary nearby rolling respawns within Vierville as well as having the use of pre-sighted Nerf mortars that target key areas of the beach.

For those of you who are on Facebook, feel free to RSVP to the event page as well.  This does NOT pre-register you for the game.  Facebook link.
