Hope some of you all will make out to Skirmish! Stalingrad event was a blast.

From the website:
Join Cypher Scenario Consulting on a trip back in time to 1969 and experience the Vietnam War as told through an epic 2-day paintball scenario! Encounter minefields, booby traps, and locals who may help, or hinder, your efforts as you support either the North or South Vietnamese armies in their plans to bring the conflict to an end. Experience firefights through rugged terrain as you advance your team to complete objectives ranging from zone control to demolition of high-value targets with rockets and satchel charges.

Support the North Vietnamese Army or the South Vietnamese Army in their struggle to unite Vietnam under a single ideology in this game of plays and counter-plays spread across two days of focused operations brought to you by Cypher Scenario Consulting.

Oh, and bring extra socks… You can never go wrong with an extra pair of socks

Thinking of camping for the first time if anyone wants to join camps or have any advice!

Here I am at Stalingrad with a malfunctioning ego lol

😂sorry, thats a crappy situation! but knowing the context and seeing the picture together, the sentiment just comes through perfectly

and since its mcb, "never woulda happened if youda been playing pump/stock class"

[otar]

Funny enough, my Trracer pump lost the screws holding the body together!

How many people normally attend these?

[otar]

Not sure about this Vietnam one, but I've heard there's a few hundred out for Invasion of Normandy game

[heit1_32]

Their website claims 1000-4000 players for Normandy (ION). I just don't know how many people their smaller events draw. I'm planning to attend ION next year for the first time.

[otar]

Just a little update - there were about 300 people for this event!

[$L!mBo]

its too bad this is the same weekend as Slim's Spring game.

im a huge nerd for 'Nam
always wanted to make that the theme of Ganza
maybe some day, if we are all fortunate(sons) enough 😝

[otar]

Last day to signup with the $15 discount!

I'll be signing my group up for the SVA if anyone wants to join forces

[Criticalhammer]

3 1/2 hour drive doesnt seem all that bad....

[otar]

I'll have some cold beer in the cooler should you make it

[Criticalhammer]

I’m a big maybe. Been to enough events where it rained all weekend to know that’s not my thing. If the weather is good I’ll be there.

[spydertl17]

I’m with this guy, saving $15 isn’t worth it when I can wait till last minute to make sure the weather is good

[otar]

Can't blame ya for wanting to play it by ear! Forecast doesn't look too bad right now

[Criticalhammer]

High chance I won't be able to go. Dog need surgery for multiple unrelated thing, and was able to get it scheduled Tuesday of that week.

Cheaper to knock him out once, than multiple times.

[otar]

Sorry to hear about the pup, hopefully everything goes well!

[otar]

anyone make it out today?

[Criticalhammer]

Unfortunately pup had a couple of teeth pulled and the post surgery meds destroyed his GI tract. Stayed home to nurse him through it. Post up more pictures so we can all live vicariously through you!

[SupraDan]

Day one was a blast. Maybe one of my favorite events of all time.

[SupraDan]

Really great weekend. The event was ran really well at a great field with perfect weather. Everything really lined up for this to be one of, if not the greatest event we have ever played.

[otar]

Totally agree, it was a great time! You guys were great to play against!

[otar]

There was about 300 people registered for the event and it was a great 2 days of play. Skirmish, Cypher, and all those involved were fantastic hosts and yes the weather was perfect. Can't wait for the next event, and we'll be sure to come back with more friends next year!

I was XO for NVA, glad to see you had a good time! Cyphers did such an impressive job. Our team will be at their event in December.
