The New Year

2011 is already here and its time to start thinking about the new paintball season. Right now we are still taking it pretty easy but there are some plans in the works for this year. We are already talking about adding a few members to Eagle Squad proper. In addition to the new "official" Eagle Squad members we will have quite a few new friends to bring out to Supergame 41. It is funny to think that this time last year we were only 5 strong (only able to have 4 at Supergame 39 at one time) and this year it looks like we will have 8-10 members with an additional 10-15 friends coming with us to SuperGame 41.

Just this week we were able to get set up as an official RAP4 dealer which is just great. My dad has been a pretty big proponent of their brand over the past year and its nice to be able to sell their merchandise. Drop us a line if you see anything on their website you'd like. We have drop shipping available.

Well...I think that is about all the news that we have around here. Come March we will be starting to work on our field as well as beginning our weekly games to warm up for SG 41 and (hopefully) another Yellow Team victory.

Lending a Hand

Just got back from the field where Chris, Jesse, and I helped a little in getting it ready for Supergame XL next weekend. We brought a couple machetes so Dan had us walk through all the trails and hack/slash the encroaching weeds and bushes. Many of the trails were still in great shape save for a few hanging sticker bushes. We also took some time and made a few new trails and connected some existing trails; mainly up around BB Hill. A lot of time was also spent around the "new" Hideout (same place as in May) knocking down some of the tall grass and adding a couple more paths from the Jager Beach side towards the flag.

Also, we got a chance to see the newly added "Command Posts". Both Yellow and Red have a netted area at a specific location along the perimeter of the DMZ. It sounds like rockets wont be able to destroy them but that fire can be exchanged between those inside the fort and those outside. There are a few slits cut in the netting at different places along the fort that would work well for defenders to stick out their barrels and let an approaching force have it.

Hope to see everyone out there in 5 days (can you believe it?!).

Exciting News!

It has been a pretty busy week for us here at Eagle Squad. First we received news that Steve was being considered for Yellow Team General which was the cause of the Meeting we had last week. This got us into gear adding forums to the blog and sending out feelers for possible teams to recruit. Since then we have found out that Steve IS the General of the Yellow Team and the recruitment process is now in full swing.

Steve, David, and I were also able to make it out to a pick-up game at a buddy's house. 14 people showed and we had a good time throwing paint for a few hours. Not a bad way to spend the morning!
