And once again, here’s wishing you a fantastic Thanksgiving from the Nitro staff! May your family and friends find you in good health and with a stuffed stomach

We will be closing for our own Thanksgiving holiday on November 29th and 30th, but will be reopening for our normal schedule the following weekend.

Here’s Kruger from Code 3 on the format of the game.

The 8 hour game is a game that we put on and is simple to play. We call it Flag Wars. The field has several flag stations and at the top and the bottom of the hour, refs will check the see which flag is up at that station, and that team gets the points for that time period. Very fluid game. Last time we had this game, about 90 attended. $25 gets you in the game with all day air and field fee. Bring your own paint (BYOP) or buy ours, we dont care. We just love to play paintball.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen: only $25 to play for 8 hours. Remember that this is a bring your own paint (BYOP) event!

Use our sign up form or ask us at the field to join our roster. We’ll need your confirmation at least one week before the game (November 8, 2008).

We rolled in to Bear Claw with the largest force in camp — 82 players strong, ages 11-60 — and with a thunderous bang on Saturday we started a rampage that didn’t stop until Sunday afternoon. Our blood, sweat, and tears went into this game and it definitely showed. The scores varied up and down all day and night, but the game ended today with the Germans scoring 3000 points and the Americans winning the game by a mere 400 points.

Now, don’t mistake this for a loss! Every single one of you guys did an outstanding job staying on that field, running missions, and shooting Americans. We screamed till our voices got sore. We ran till our legs couldn’t take it and then we ran some more. As far as I’m concerned, we showed the red team where they could stick their points!

Not to mention that we came home with a a nice handfull of awards:

• Most Valuable Team: Nitro Paintball
• Most Valuable Player: Phil Clark
• Most Valuable Player: Michael Matuson
• General’s Special Service Award: Mario Maresco

And let’s not forget all the cool shwag we won in the drawings!

• Pinokio Hopper System: Jeremy Miller, Glenn George
• q-loader Hopper System: Michael Matuson
• St!ffi Barrel Gift Certificate: Phil Clark
• Save Phace Tactical Mask: Brian Batterton
• Pod packs: Josh Miller, Bobby Geiken

If you couldn’t make this game, consider this your formal invitation to our next trip to Bear Claw in February. If you’re still not sure if scenario paintball is for you, ask some of the guys that came out with us this trip. We brought a lot of first-time scenario ‘ballers and I think they had the most fun out of all of us!

Here’s a snippet from Wikipedia about the actual battle that we’ll be reenacting:

Operation Overlord was the code name for the invasion of northwest Europe during World War II by Allied forces. The operation began with the Normandy Landings on June 6, 1944 (commonly known as D-Day), among the largest amphibious assaults ever conducted. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, landing more than 3 million troops by the end of August.
