Go north at light (left if coming from west) Travel 1 3/4 miles to Granny Road, make right onto Granny Road, Go past Cousins Paintball field to traffic light (approx 1 mile). Make left onto Mill Road. High Velocity is on your left, less than 1/4 mile down. Enter through gates into parking lot.

The festivities begin at 9:00AM. However all team members should try to be there no later than 8:00AM. You need to be there early to register, buy paint, and chrono your marker. Upon arrival you should go to the registration desk (shack at the end of the parking lot) to fill out your waiver and register. When you enter the staging area be sure to request that you be on the RED team. Getting there early will help ensure placement on your preferred team. Dave will be there early and have tables ready in the staging area. If you get lost or need anything feel free to call Dave's cell. If you don't have his number email him.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

As of Monday night, the weather forecast for the 17th is Sunny with a high temperature of 78*. Perfect weather. This forecast can change and we will play RAIN OR SHINE. You can check the forecast here. As for what to wear, weather will not be an issue so wear whatever you want...remember, long pants and sleeves help take some of the sting out. Even though it will be cooler, remember to bring water/drinks, or cash to buy drinks there.

TACTICS

For those of you who have not attended a scenario game, it is very different from your normal capture the flag recreational game. This game is decided by three different things, body count, time that your team is in possession of flag stations, and specific missions assigned by the team CO and XO. The great thing about scenario games is that you can do pretty much whatever you want. Whether it's playing defense or making a charge for a flag station. While we try to play together as a team, it is also important for everyone to have a good time...so feel free to charge a bunker, hang back and sling paint, or make a daring move for a flag ala Dan. It's up to you. However, I would recommend looking over and familiarizing yourself with some common tactics, as they will be helpful regardless of what your doing..

Special Ops Tactics Guide is an excellent introduction to basic paintball tactics. Also, there are numerous links to scenario based articles. Please take a few minutes to check it out. This site also has some decent information.

"Why we are on this particular mission, we'll never know. But I do know, here today, that the Loaded Crows will emerge victorious once again."
