Logos are starting to arrive

Here is the first batch of decals. More decals (same size) and arm patches will be here soon.

 
We are also looking at getting some custom jerseys made with the addition of sponsor logos. We have come up with a great list of businesses/companies that we support and would love to advertise/represent on and off the field. Hopefully, we can convince them to have their logos added to our jerseys and support our great team (we have had a fun year, eh?!). Hopefully they have some stickers too as I know where they will go!

Operation Overlord Completed

... With an astounding victory for the Axis team (Oddballs was Platoon I). Such a success that the allies surrendered Phase 4 as they could not get enough points to make a difference. Mud, mosquitos, thunder storm, and lots of welts... Operation Overlord lived up to the hype.

Check out the updated video and picture gallery.

Oddballs Logo

Yes, it is a Panda with large cahones. Thanks to Chad Fontaine from Chameleon Creative Graphic and Web Design, who did this in his spare time (which he has little of as he too has children).



Decals are ordered (30 Total @ $1.00 each, arrive approximately July 12th). Waiting on the final number for patches. They will be $7.50-$8.00 each and made out of PVC rubber (so they last) with a Velcro backing.

See the facebook page to sign up for patches.

Operation Overlord is almost here...

Pack your bags... and bring gumboots? Mosquito spray? Anti-fog? Okay, obviously the location at Greenwood, BC is going to be a little different than we are used to here in Kamloops. Prepare for a moist environment and pack your camping gear accordingly. I think I have dug up 3 different types of bug spray and now I need to find my tarp so I can create some form of canopy.

Prepare for the worst (wet, rain) and hope for the best (sun, sun, sun!).

Supergame 45 was great... Now we wait for Operation Overlord

You need to attend the event next year --- > If you like six tanks running around the field while guys with rocket launchers tried to take them out (you soon got sensitive to the sound of tanks approaching or launchers firing). Or if you like to surprise groups of 10-30 guys and shoot half a hopper into them. Or if you like to battle back and forth across a massive field for objectives all day in a tightly contested back and forth battle. Or if you like to flank the other team and shoot them as they casually walk back into play and then they later rush the two of you with 50-60 guys. Or if you like teammates (200 renegades) switching sides five minutes later and then shooting at you. Or if you like lasers, music, beer, smoke machines, and playing paintball all day with breaks only for air and paint.

Ya. It was awesome. Definitely going next year.

Now come on Operation Overlord!

Big Game and some other Events

Hamburger Hill is looking like a bust as anyone who will be playing on April 21st will probably be going to the Outlaw game in Kelowna (Postil #2) or heading to KPG.

Supergame XLV is a go for three of us who are carpooling down Friday morning and driving back Sunday night. Thanks Kevin S.! Last year there were over 1000 players... now that sounds like fun/mayhem!

Also added some information about the "Tippmann Challenge" event that will be in October in Langley at Panther Paintball.

2013 Season Warming Up

Seems like the 2013 season is starting up in full swing now. Snow is melting (all gone at lower levels), weather is warm, and gear is clean (or not). We snuck in a game out in Kelowna and there have been three trips to Bushwackers in Vernon (since nothing has been happening locally, stupid snow).

Remember that April 7th will be the KPG grand opening.

We will also be doing a practice session one evening to share some knowledge and practice some skills & do some drills. Don't worry, it will be relaxed... no superman dives.

Also, don't forget that when you sign up for Operation Overlord you will want to be on the "Axis" side as that is the side all the interior/Kamloops players will be on. There is also the scenario game out in Maple Ridge on April 21st, but there does not seem to be much interest in it yet.
