Better Late Than Never

It is a little late in the making but I thought that I should get on here to talk a bit about Supergame 39. Eagle Squad was able to get 5 members out there although there were only 4 of us there at a time with 3 on the field. Chris was able to get three of his friends to come out and play with us for the weekend and with their help we were able to go out there and make quite a bit of a difference on the Yellow Team.

This year we were teamed up with Edge Zero and Crossfire again as members of the Yellow Team. We started out 200 point underdogs going into the Saturday game and were even down by 300 at one point. With some good strategic planning by Xaber and some hard work we were able to cut their lead to 50 points by the end of the day Saturday. Sunday was the Spoils of War game which is my personal favorite. Yellow Team was able to take the day and the weekend by the work we all put in capturing and recapturing bases.

Eagle Squad was fortunate enough to be on the winning side again and receive team recognition with the Best Defense plaque. Can't wait until next year.

Lastly, we were all very sad to hear that Bryce Hotckiss, the paintballer that was hurt on Saturday, died the following Monday. We were unable to attend the memorial game but were very glad that it went well and was able to raise more money for his family.

Spring Update

April is almost over which means less than a week until Supergame! Chris, David, and Steve have all been down to help out Dan fix the field and they say that it is looking great. More space, more bases, and more trails. I couldn't be more excited to get down there and play.

Looks like most of us will be there Friday night although I think only a few will take part in the game that night. I believe we will have a booth all weekend with a few hours set aside for a swap meet.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the field!

OHNOES!

Chris had some time to look over the footage from the Woodland paintball game and it turns out there is no footage to look over. I think there was a little glitch with the type of film he used. Anyways, he seems to know what the problem is and should have the details worked out so that he knows what he is doing come Supergame.

The bad news is that we obviously will have no footage of the Woodland game to post. The good news is that the Woodland game did what it was supposed to do: Let us work the kinks out of our equipment. Hopefully next time we are able to get some paintballing in the Maskcam will be working as intended.

Woodland Pickup Game

Just got back from a nice game down in Woodland. Chris, Jesse, and myself were the only ones able to attend but it was nice to get a little action in. There were about 18 people there and we started things off with a short game of Predator before splitting into two teams of nine.

We were only about to play a few games since we had to get back for poker night (which people should be showing up for soon).

Also! Chris brought out his new mask-cam and will hopefully have time later in the week to look over the new footage.

Games and Gear

The weather outside is getting much more inviting. It is time for us to find a game to get back in the swing of things and make sure our markers still shoot straight. We are looking for and hoping to find a game in the next month or two that we can all make to work out some of the kinks. If any of you guys have suggestions we would love to hear them.

On another note we have been collecting a lot of gear during the off season and are looking to unload some of it. If anyone needs gear or knows someone looking to buy contact Chris at cjgomez30@hotmail.com

We have too much gear to list here but you can contact him for more details. We are open to and welcome bartering. Eagle Squad could use camping equipment and the like.

Winter is Coming

Well winter is just around the corner and with it comes the end of paintball for the year. Supergame 39 in May is the next scenario game we have planned but come spring we will probably start back up again with some smaller woodsball games and maybe a scenario or two before Supergame.

Hopefully we will be able to use the break to stock up on some much needed camping equipment and fill in what paintball gear we need individually.

Until the New Year the site will probably be slower than it has been since we started but I will try to get some updates throughout the break.

Also, Eagle Squad’s fantasy football league has been a blast so far. There are only six of us playing but we all seem to be having a good time.
