Cool

Hey all,
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a paintball game this summer - ideally we would need at least 20 to attended so that we could have our own private games. I've heard their are some great sites along the M25 corridor?

Proposed game
“22B owners against the rest of us” This will prove how slow and cumbersome they really are without their cars to protect them :P

Yeah plenty only problem with forest ones is mask steams up quite quickly, did do indoor at greenham common (the old american air base) which was cool and a bit more aggressive unfortunately not there any more.

Count me in. Always fanced it and never had the chance, Might get some practice on the future brother-in-law's stag weekend though.

I don't think we'll have any trouble getting 20 people!!

Yep, Looking good so far

Cookie - tell me about it, last time I went majority of the time I was running to the marshal so I could clean my mask. I'd love to do indoor, but I never found anywhere good. I did see a brochure once where your inside a Manor house (somewhere around Birmingham??), it looked really cool as you could have had possibilities of working like SWAT teams but then I found out that you only play in its grounds, the manor house wasn’t used at all

Wacko - Have you got a P1 by any chance? for some reason the 21st of April seems to come to mind

Has anyone got any good tips, especially to stop the mask from misting up

:confussed: You are indeed correct Rapala i do have a P1. Hmmmm.....21st is that the date for CombatGames?? You going??
Don't pull the mask tight onto you face, and it shouldn't steam up. Need to keep a slight gap to let air in.

You could try the bikers helmet visor trick of coating the inside of the mask with a thin film of diluted washing-up liquid...

Only 2 ways to really stop goggles fogging up are use anti-for inserts available fron motorcycle shops or thermal lenses (not many sites offer these for punters due to costs and easily damaged).Definately up for game,what prices have you been quoted for paint and game fees, what guns semis or pump?

wacko I'm a partner in a IT networking / e-commerce company, used to contract for a bank in the city (DLJ) awhile ago

EVO2, PCB thanks for the tips, I'll be going down to my nearest bike shop soon.

I'll be posting up the urls for the best sites along with the deals their offering to me in the next couple of days.
