HPA and CO2 will both be available!

Directions:

We are located at Patterson, MO on State Highway 34. We are about 120 miles south of St. Louis, MO. From U.S. Highway 67, go west on State Highway 34 approximately 2 and 1/2 miles. You will go about 1/4 mile past the St. Francis River bridge to the 3rd driveway on your right by the yellow Paintball! banner, then through the gate. This will take you to the campground and staging area.

Some pictures of the field:

Firebase Echo:

Difficult approaches, but infantry can be supported with armor from the west side.
Two story, outlying bag pits.
Assault difficulty: High






The Bridge:

The Bridge is located within small arms range just to the south and west of the Outpost.
The team who controls the bridge also controls the PAV traffic over the entire southern 1/3 of the field.
A very important choke point if your team is relying on armor to do the dirty work.






Trenches:

LOOKS EFFIN SWEET!!!!!!!!

Ill talk to Greif!

Please do, the more people we get the more likely-hood this could be a annual event.

Posted it up in our team thread........will also put word in at FPE this weekend.

I'll be there passing out flyers.

;)

SATCOM
Entrenchments, lower platform, rampage, upper platform.
Difficult to assault due to it's hilltop location, but has weak points.
Assault difficulty: Medium/High






THE MUNITIONS/FUEL DEPOT
Tire stacks, fuel drums, what you would expect at an ammo/fuel dump.
This position is perched on the edge of an area that repeat players have
christened "Mordor", a rough and tumble rocky area stretching to the
north and east of it. This area aids in the assault of this position.
Assault difficulty: Medium

THE OUTPOST
300' of elevated walkway
20' X 20' elevated center platform
Lots of open area makes assaulting this position difficult,
however, it is also difficult to defend with too few troops due to it's size.
Assault difficulty: High

AWESOME!!! I usually go up to Farmington about that time (50~ miles north up on 67)- I have family there, and I usually go duck hunting, but if I can get that saturday off, I just might swing by... IF I make it, I'm willing to bet that I'll be the only one from Birmingham, AL to show up :lol:

Paint prices have changed. They are actually $5 cheaper now.

I forgot to add, there is plenty of room to camp at this field... and it is completely free.

Any signs of initial intrest or pre regs? I've always wanted to hit one of Smakzones games. Just want to justify the drive from OH to do it.

There is some interest... but if you're looking for a large game, I wouldn't count on it. I'd say we'll probably have about 30 or so. Should still be fun, but I don't know if it'll be worth the drive. I guess that is up to you.

Thanks Kraus. I'll have to see if there is any others that might want to tag along. Its about an 8 hour drive for me. Would love to see the event take off. One of the reasons I was considering it.

If you do get some people together and make the drive, I'll make sure there is some prize or something for longest distance traveled. ;)

Kraus, looks like Matt and I will be heading out that way. The Army got in the way of Red Dawn for me, so the Showdown will be my scenario for September.

Awesome. Hopefully we'll have a decent turnout.

Yeah, I hope so. Smakzone is a big place for 30 people.

The battles will be concentrated so people aren't spread over the whole field. They'll just be 1 base at a time in play.

darn you all to heck! why do these things have to happen on the weekend i'm moving?

You are in luck. Its been postponed.

sweet, march! i can do march. got new dates? i'll make sure my schedual's clear.

Tentatively planned for March 29-30, 2008.

We will def. be there now.

This change in dates helps alot!


I will try and get a big group together as I know a ton of pumpers in the STL area as well as some teams down south.


This should be a good turnout!
