Calendar of Events

Battlefront Paintball is open every weekend.
During the winter we are only open Saturdays.

The largest turnouts are usually during special events like the ones posted below. If you are looking for smaller teams try coming out on one of the "off" weekends.

January 24, 2009	Battle of Moscow
	It's October 2, 1941 and der Fuhrer has ordered von Bock, and Guderian's Panzers to set Operation Typhoon in motion to capture Moscow within the next 8 weeks. The Germans assualt the Red Army with 1,000,000 men and over 1,700 tanks. By December 4th, the power of the German attack forces a Russian army of 1,250,000 men and 1,000 tanks to continue retreating to within 35 miles of the capitol. On December 5th, after Stalin has been advised by American intel that the Japanese will not attack Russia, 250,000 Siberian troops reinforce Moscow and begin a winter offensive that saves the city and causes a 150 mile German retreat. Looks like the Germans in our re-creation better capture the city before the Siberian reinforcements arrive too. KRAUTS WILL BE STARTING DEEP IN THE WOODS AND WILL HAVE TO BATTLE THEIR WAY TO THE CITY. The Krauts will have superior tech in this game making it easier for them in the initial phases, but, like the real battle, as they got closer to the city, the Russians did some nasty things to slow the German advance. Speed for the Germans is important, and Hitler's interference may have an adverse effect on the German advance. AIRCRAFT and ARTILLERY will play a pivitol role in this conflict. This will be quite the battle. Details to follow

February 6,7,8, 2009	Airsoft
	Looks like we will be having an Airsoft weekend February 6-8, 2009. Details as they become available. Guys are planning on camping Friday and Saturday nights for this 2-day event. Sounds like there will be a 100 - 200 player crowd for this one....but it's getting late in December AND I HAVEN'T HEARD A PEEP....

February 21, 2009	Kelly's Heros
	Players are already asking so mark your calendar for our Third Annual Kelly's Hero's As always the Bank will have tons of loot (hopefully some of the new grenades if they ever get here from Canada) and the last couple of times we played this has given me some great ideas about how to make this event even more challenging and fun. Hoping for lots of snow....always makes for a great game!

April 18,2009	World at War
	The ARC's are planning on a second WORLD at WAR scenario day at Battlefront Paintball. Make plans to attend this one now, because these guys always put together a GREAT day of paintball! Details will be up very soon.

May 9, 2009	1st Strike Event: SOCOM
	No details yet, but this will be the first of three events 1st Strike is planning to conduct at Battlefront in 2009 Information will be up as soon as it becomes available.

June 6, 2009	1st Strike Event: D-Day
	June 6th....I gotta think this one will be a major D-DAY event. I think aircraft will probably play a major this time. We are developing "aircraft" based on the model Lou used at Band of Brothers. These will have twin, fixed, forward firing full-auto guns with limited ammo. The pilot will climb in and drive them around the field straffing targets of opportunity until out of ammo, shot down by another fighter, or taken out by AAA (law rockets) This will be the second event organized by 1st Strike for 2009 and details will soon be up.

July 11, 2009	4th Anniversay Picnic
	I know EVERYONE loved the food our big time Italian Chef put together for last years picnic. He'll be back and I told him this time to plan on about 4 times as much food next year. I couldn't believe the shark attack that hit the buffet in July. THIS WILL BE A DAWN-TO-DUSK EVENT, which will allow more time for paintball after we are done with the cookout. Stays light until 8:30 so why not make a day of it. LOTS of games and prizes planned for this one so mark your calendar.

August 22, 2009	Ia Drang
	The first Ia Drang was so popular we are planning a huge "expansion pact" for this one. For starters, we'll be passing out lots of the new grenades to be used as trip-wire booby traps. Artillery will be improved and much more accurate, the NVA will have their own commanders, we'll use the ambulance to Medivac wounded,(less walking-faster respawn) Green Berets will be available to counter NVA Sappers and maybe rescue the lost platoon, copters will be "armed" when landing troops, NVA will have RPG's (could make life difficult for a copter) NVA can attack multiple objectives, American recon can try to capture NVA General Huu, VC will have "tunnels" they can use to pop up very close to American lines, at some point the lost platoon may try to fight there way out of the encirclement, etc. In this expanded version, Americans will also be hiking across country in an attempt to reach LZ-Alpha...and the NVA will be in position to ambush them...unless General Huu is captured and forced to blab. This will be a GREAT battle! Oh yeah...when you pre-reg you can choose to join: US Army, US Army Helo Pilot(armed) Green Beret, Lost Platoon, NVA, NVA Sapper(These guys will have the RPG's), NVA Tunnel Rat.

September 19, 2009	Band of Brothers
	1st Strike is on point for a second Band of Brothers fall event. No details yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we can. Mark your calendar....this will be a great game.

October 24, 2009	Enemy at the Gates
	Based on the movie with a few twists. The film focuses on the role Russian snipers played in this epic struggle, and while they will still play a pivotal role in BOTH armies efforts, the other battles that ultimately decided the outcome of this conflict will also be raging. There were two battles that lasted months. One was for control of the tractor factory in the industrial heart of the city, and the other was for the high ground that overlooked the Volga River where Russian reinforcements and supplies were staged. I would expect the struggle for the Tractor Factory to seem like one huge, "Reichstag" game with both forces constantly pouring men and materials into the battle to acheive victory. The entire length of Heartbreak Ridge will see extensive development this year, making the battle for the Volga as intense as anything yet seen at Battlefront. While these battles rage, the Russian army will be preparing for an encirclement of the city, and the Germans will be planning on how to prevent it...or how to breakthrough if the city is surrounded. There will be a one-time Stalingrad Victory patch issued to the winners of this game....and they will have earned it!! Details as they become available.
