War

Sarah, Josef and I participated in the worlds largest paintball game with 4200 peopel participating. I was very hesitant to go at first as they called the game "World War II". It was a scenario game and they divide us into teams, Germans, Americans and Frenchmen.

I must say, it was a pretty rough first experience of paintball for me. I was on the Allies side and the whole game started with... well, D-day on Omaha beach. The organizers pushed Allied by the hundreds through big gates onto a field. The "Germans" were already positioned behind protection in the woods behind the field.

Picture this: Litteraly hundreds of "Germans" shooting a rain of paintball bullets. Hand granate paintballs flying in the air. Smoke bombs hazing the area. Screaming. Shouting. Our generals yelled at us to push forward. Offensive words. Push forward! Push forward!! "If you want to play this game wee need to overtake the beach, keep mooving!!"

Here is a great film clip from last years event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZYQattE3cUttE3cU

I got into the game pretty quickly and found my role in the game: Infantry/Suicide Bomber.

This is what I look like now. It's very entertaining to see myself in all the colors of the rainbow, and the colors change every day!

If this were for real I would be Stone Dead Forever.
