Am I correct in understanding that they aren't allowing FS rounds?

[MullerTime]

Yeah that is correct. No First Strike rounds at Hogback.

Last Sunday on June 4th I was very thankful for some Carter's Commandos to show up and help me on the allies side. I would like to thank all the players who spent their time and money to come to the game. The turnout was spectacular and the positive feedback and general consensus was truly heartwarming. There were close to 70 rental players who never played, so thank you to yall for showing them what paintball is all about.

This is a GREAT VIDEO form Save The Paint. I would like to thank Hog Back Mountain Paintball for allowing me to run their Normandy Landing Big Game. The Ref’s and the field staff were outstanding.

Great video. It really captured what it was like charging up the hills.

UP SUCKS!

Oh yeah it was a lot of fun. Good turnout and great weather! I thought it was a lot better run than the March Red Dawn game at Hogback.

The March game had a lot more standing around and dead time between games than this one even though there was less people to get through the air line in March.

I was there with the Death Dealers, we played on the German side. It was a great, well ran event. It was awesome seeing so many new players out there. It seemed that they all had a good time!

The weather was PERFECT. A lot of things made this game successful. Paint quality, turnout, promotion, and logistics really helped. I heard about red dawn and that disappointed me. That was the opposite of what I wanted to achieve with the schedule. We had to cut a few games because I didn't account foot transit time between battles.

I will be speaking with a field owner tomorrow and nail down some dates for my next game. I took all the feedback and learned from it. I truly think my next game will be markedly better after implementing yalls feedback.

Thank you so much. The rentals had me flabbergasted. I thought we got a great turnout but I was a little worried for the rentals. Yall did so great on fostering them. I general'd my first production because I wanted to know what I would be putting player command staff through with a game I created. Boy did I learn a lot.

Ah yeah that may have come off a bit rough. I was trying more to say how I noticed the improvement for DDay and appreciate the effort. I thought the pacing was pretty good and it felt like the game flowed pretty well throughout the day and kept everyone engaged.

My first big game in a long time. Had an absolute blast playing German side. Absolutely loved the way it was ran. 20-30 minutes and a break then back to it. I purchased the pro grade paint the empire I think. Literally the best paint I’ve ever shot, I don't know if it was just fresh or what but I’ve NEVER had more accurate paint.

my only complaints are the almost 3k air fills if I was lucky. Only one chronograph and when the referees on the field were giving us our orders or explaining what to do it got confusing. maybe it’s because I don’t know the field at all.

Overall I had a awesome time.
