Sitting the staging area getting my equipment ready I looked over to the blue tent and saw many experienced ballers getting ready for battle.  As I surveyed the opposition I saw several well practiced scenario players and just as many talented tourney players.  Then I looked over my other shoulder and saw the green jerseys of my teammates, the Northern Gunmen, and my mind was at ease.  I knew we were in for a fight, but I knew that we would be up for whatever they threw at us.

The Northern Gunmen hit the field for Adrenaline Paintball’s Redneck Rivalry.  This year’s installment of the annual classic was just as much fun as previous years.  There were many players of all experience levels in attendance.  On the Red team the Gunmen joined teammate General “Wizard”, to defend his run of victories as a General at Adrenaline Big Games.  A few familiar faces from their Tournament days, Ralph and Nater, joined the Gunmen.  The teams looked pretty well balanced before the action started.

In the first scenario opposing Blue Team got off to a fast start holding the Gunmen and the rest of the Red Team inside the forest.  Despite all of our efforts we could not break out of the woods.  Thanks to a well-planned air drop of 7 red players the Red Team was able to accomplish our mission of capturing the Tippmann Tower to keep the score close after the first scenario.  In the second scenario the Gunmen stepped up their game lead the Red Team across the field and pushing the Blue Team back into their base and claimed the Outpost for their own.  In the third and fourth scenarios the Red Team continued to increase their lead and impose their will on the Blue Team by controlling the field, capturing objectives, and completing missions.  The Blue team fought like true warriors all day and put forth one hell of a battle, but in the end the Gunmen and everyone on the Red Team helped General Wizard claim another decisive victory on the Adrenaline field.  Honorable mention goes to Gerald “Undertaker” Goodman of the Gunmen for having only 1 punch on his medic card.  Gerald was on field all day at the heart of every battle and managed to only get hit 1 time, sure glad he’s on our side.

The Gunmen had a blast and can’t wait to take the field with everyone again.

The first thing I noticed as I entered the woods was the enormous size of the hills, with bunkers strategically placed all over them.  Our general told us that the action was happening at MIA and to head there as quickly as possible — They needed all the support they could get. As we moved [...]
