Last Minute Heroics Will Decide Who Wins Game!
By Bruce 'Charon' Johnston originally published in the April 2009 issue of Action Pursuit Games Strategically placed artillery strike. A surge by Allied players captures the Axis flag station. Will this decide the outcome of Operation Iceberg?
Still licking their wounds from the previous three operations, the Axis team was primed and ready to turn the tables, crush the Allies, and write their own history. The Axis would settle for nothing less than to score a decisive victory.

An Old Timer Speaks
By David Muhlestein, About.com
I recently wondered where the old timers have gone. Some responded. With permission, here is what Bruce 'Charon' Johnston wrote:
I started the game back in the late 80's just after high school. The game was in its infancy back then, and 12 gram, CO2, Splatmasters was the marker of choice. As I recall paintballs were outrageously priced compared to today, somewhere in the area of $.20 - $.25 per ball. Since paintball was a fringe extreme sport at the time, very few people played the game. We were lucky if we had 10 guys out on any given day.

By Bruce 'Charon' Johnston originally published in the August 2008 issue of Action Pursuit Games You and your team are slowly moving toward the enemy base in single file, keeping five yards between each player. You know the other side is close. Your adrenaline is pumping, your eyes peeled, your mouth is dry, and you can feel your heartbeat in your ears.
Just ahead behind a stack of logs you see a quick flash of light as the sun reflects off a mask lens. You know the other side isn't just close - they are really close!
The bushes ahead erupt as streams of paint come your way. You haven't walked into an ambush; you have walked into attacking force of the other team. |
