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.

During private events, walk-on players may be allowed to play with the private group at the private groups discretion. If the group chooses to play by themselves, there will be other areas of the field open for walk-on players.

February 20, 2010	Battle of Hoth
	"There is no tomorrow, men. Today, we crush the Rebellion, once and for all." - Unnamed Imperial officer during the Battle of Hoth A Viper probe droid has landed on ice planet Hoth near Echo Base and alerted the Imperial fleet to the Rebel’s location. Shield generators have come online and should be able to withstand orbital bombardment, but will provide little defense against a ground assault. Massive numbers of the Empire’s 501st Legion troops combined with AT-ATs and AT-ST’s are in the process of gathering on the outskirts of the base, ready to strike the final blow to the Alliance. Hasty defenses are being constructed around the main power generators as they are likely to be the Empire’s primary target. Rebel forces must hold Echo Base at all costs or face possible annihilation. On February 20th, join Battlefront Paintball and 1st Strike in the defense of Echo Base for the Battle of Hoth. Pre reg is $20.00 or pay $25.00 at the door.

	This game is always a riot and it looks like I've scored a ton of prizes for der Banc this year!! It's the first day of Spring....so maybe we won't be playing this one in 8 inches of snow.

April 17, 2010	World at War
	Journal of the 13th Demi-Brigade. April 1945. Things here at HQ seem almost deserted, everybody is gone, with forces deployed to both gold and oil islands we simply don't have the man power to launch any sort of campaign. The turmoil seems to be grinding down, our latest intelligence has the Americans across the Rhine and Stalin’s forces are closing the noose around Berlin. The Jap’s are still putting up terrible resistance in the pacific, but it won't last long. This creates a unique opportunity for us to replace our losses and expand our ranks. Soldiers need wars to fight, all true warriors love and crave battle...when this war is over there may not be any others for them to fight....not for their countries any way…but us, the 13th is always ready for a fight, no matter who's it is. We've recruited 4 special divisions to come here to 13th HQ to..."Audition" for the opportunity to join our ranks, for glory and honor...and a lot of money. However we only want soldiers who can operate as a unit with us, people who will fit in nicely with our little organization....their Generals won't be needed...plus we are curious to see if any natural leaders rise from the ranks. We need soldiers who can think on their feet, overcome and adapt to various situations....their tests will not be easy, a group of our finest Trainers and Mercenaries stands ready to test them against each other...to see who will pass the test. The four we've selected to compete are... 1st Separate Battalion USMC (The Raiders) British 7th Armor Division (The Desert Rats) Armia Krajowa (Polish Home Army) 5th Fallschirmjagerdivison (German Airborne) Pre reg is $25.00 and it's $35.00 if you pay at the door.

May 15, 2010	1st Strike Event
	Too early to tell what's up with this, but there are some rumors floating around about a Terminator game. Should know something in a couple of weeks.

June 11, 2010	D-Day Zero Hour
	Join Battlefront Paintball and 1st Strike the night of June 11th for the initial airborne invasion of Europe. Game runs from 9 PM to 1 AM and costs $5. Onsite camping is available and free of charge. Bonfires will be lit near objectives to improve visibility and all players will be issued glow bracelets to help indicate which team they are on. Players are encouraged to bring tac lights to this one. Allied airborne forces begin the invasion of Europe shortly after 00:00 hours on D-Day. First in were the elite pathfinder units, who marked out drop zones on the ground for the rest of their divisions. Paratroops deployed on the flanks of the invasion zones to seize important bridges and road junctions. Most units are scattered and disorganized at first, but take up the fight wherever they land. The initial widespread dispersion of the 101st Division is not an unmixed evil. German units are initially confused by the scattered drops and for some time are unable to estimate the magnitude of the invasion. In consequence, reaction was slow and uncertain.

June 12, 2010	D-Day
	Elements of the 1st and 29th Infantry Division begin landing on Omaha in the early morning hours and face off against the German 352 Infantry Division. Omaha was the most heavily fortified of all the landing zones, with high bluffs defended by mortars, machine guns and artillery. Minefields and barbed wire would further slow the advance of the American troops. The ambitious D-Day objectives set by SHAEF lay far inland and thousands of determined German troops stand in the way. A much larger Omaha Beach with improved defenses this year will turn the initial landing into a real meat grinder. In addition, German players will have access to mortars and the 1st Strike anti-tank gun to complicate matters for the Americans. As the airborne portion of the battle will have taken place the night before, there will be no airdrops on D-Day as there were last year, allowing the Germans to keep all eyes forward. Should be a terrible mess for the Americans trying to get off the beach. Pre Reg is only $25.00 or you can pay $35.00 at the door.

July 10, 2010	5th Anniversary Picnic
	Time for our annual pig roast pig out. More food than you can eat and Dawn-to-Dusk players choice paintball games.

August 7, 2010	BT World Event
	Not cast in concrete yet, but this is the tentative date for the Second Annual BT World Game. It was just kinda put together at the last minute last August, and we expect this one to be much more organized,and to have LOTS more prizes. Let you know when we have more info.

August 21, 2010	Battle for the Citadel at Hue
	2,500 Marines.....10,000 NVA.....During the TET Offensive and decent odds considering what the Marines normally faced in South Vietnam...Republic of. The Marines will have an uphill struggle to retake what was the Imperial Capital of Vietnam for a thousand years. The Jarheads will have artillery...which will really make Booty happy, but like the actual battle, it's use will be restricted to only certain areas and building. (Thank You Robert MacNamara and Lyndon Baines Johnson) You won't want to miss this one as we transform Battlefront's city into the fortress the Marines faced in 1968.

September 18, 2010	Red Dawn
	A 1st Strike event based the movie with a few twists. Looks like 4 armies will be involved. Russians, Cubans, Americans and the nasty Wolverines. Details as they become available.

October 23, 2010	To Be Announced

October 30, 2010	Halloween - 5th Annual
	No details yet, but we'll probably have the players vote for who-gets-what when it's time to pass out the stuff.
