Starship Troopers - one day scenario game

JKR · 10-07-2011, 08:32 PM

Name: Starship Troopers scenario paintball game

Field: CYD Mines

Location: Minford, OH

Contact: The Urban Guard ( Urban Guard | Facebook )

Event link: Log In | Facebook

Facilities: Field is an underground mine with some surrounding wooded areas outside the mine. The majority of play will be underground in sparsely lit mine shafts.

Dates: 11/5/11

Bring your own paint

C02 fills will be available. We are still working on HPA fills. It is unknown if there will be HPA fills. All fills will be at an extra cost, in addition to the field fee.

Cost: $20 field fee (insurance and expenses) Donations will be taken for the Wounded Warrior Project with anything over the game expenses to go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bugs are here and a nest has been located in the mine. Bring your flashlights to help reveal what lurks in the dark shadowy recesses of the earth. Help eliminate the Alien infestation before it's to late for the Earth. An event presented by " The Urban Guard".

This game will take place in an abandoned silica mine. This mine has been around for nearly 100 years and has been inspected by a mine inspector and is properly insured. Strict safety rules will be enforced. All 'guns will be chronoed and proper safety gear required. If you don't come to play safely, you will be asked to leave.

There is little in the way of amenities. You should bring your own drinks and food. There may be some food and drinks there in limited quantities.

There is a 5-10 minute hike from the parking area to the field. This a rural area and there is uneven and soft ground to get to the field - proper footwear is a definite plus.

Yes, this is really inside an abandoned mine - one of the few underground playing locations in the country. The mines are HUGE. The guys who regularly hold games here drive an F150 back into a couple of the shafts and the roof is about 20 ft high in spots. Bring a flashlight or two and chem lights if you want. Heck, you can wear battery powered Christmas lights if you want!

There will be props and objectives for this game. We are expecting a good sized group of players. Come join the Mobile Infantry and eradicate the world of the bugs!

See our Facebook page for some pictures of the mine at a previous game.

Totally gonna bring a crew out from the east side of Cleveland

Don't get a chance to play on a field like this very often. Time to find a tank bracket for my KP and put a flashlight in it!

JKR · 10-17-2011, 07:26 PM

Glad to have you! We have confirmed that HPA fills will be available. Right now we are looking at approximately 100 players!

Dr. VonDeafingson · 10-17-2011, 07:51 PM

Sounds like a blast! What are the playing conditions like inside the mine?

JKR · 10-17-2011, 09:21 PM

Temps are pretty constant year 'round in the mine - it stays in the mid 50s. The mine walls are rough and there is no echo at all...very weird because I expected an echo when I first went there. There is loose pack gravel and dirt over most of the playing surface but there is exposed rocks and some uneven ground. Mostly, the mine floor is level without too many gotchas to trip over. There are a couple of wet places under there but they are minimal and will be marked to keep people out of them. Oh, and did I mention that it is DARK! We will have some lights but there will be minimal and no lighting in many areas. EVERYONE must bring and carry a flashlight for safety.

One of the props for the game. This one is more for show and will be lurking at the registration table or at an entrance to the mine!

Dr. VonDeafingson · 10-17-2011, 09:23 PM

Haha thats awesome!

I will! Planning on a tac light mount on my KP2 :-)

Great on the temps! Don't have to layer on too thick then, I can just grab my underarmor.

Very excited!

Between games in a staging area at a previous game in the mines...
