Combat Pursuit - Big Games?

[Meleager7]

Oddbawl , anson , any idea why Combat doesn't run a big game? I feel like their property is just the right size to have all fields in play, and still lots of dense woods to sneak around in !

Anyhow, I was wondering if you ever heard them mention why no biggie games!

I know some owners find it is a lose money weekend.
More money is made from multipe private bookings per day plus the walk-on.
Big games are bread from a passion to tell a story.

Not Living Legends, I still don't know what happened to the story there.

I always thought it was the opposite situation, with 100s of players , most purchasing a case of paint, some multiple cases. That also seems to be the time players are going to splurge on extras like smokes, and patches.

Maybe it depends on the size of the game.....Wasaga and Commando get pretty big turnouts, but Combat would probably be smaller, at least at first until they get a reputation of putting on a good show

My guess is the work involved and the extra staff required isn't worth it for them. I'm sure they'd be open to an outside game producer running a game there. But outside of Synergy I don't know anyone producing big games in Canada, let alone scenarios. TFS Paintball has run 24 hour scenarios yet we're struggling to break 300 at big games in Southern Ontario. I don't know what's going on

the lack of scenarios in Ontario, must be what is sending you across the border for your big game fix now!

Everyone needs to play to Sherwood Classic Scenario! And since I moved to West Lorne it's the same distance as PRZ and Wasaga. Having Adrenaline 20 minutes away is nice, but it's been the same 3 way game for way too long imo. The Castle game there is a nice addition and the Walking Dead game lets me go Negan on some zombies so I make do. I keep bugging Red Feather Paintball and Guru Games to come to Canada but so far no takers.

I've been meaning to get out to Adrenaline's walking dead game ! How is it for # of zombies during the game? Do they get enough players volunteering to play zombie, for them to affect the game , enough zombies to shoot at, etc? Cheers!
