Command Paintball is looking to expand to a second field Location

We are primarily interested in private landowners looking for added monthly income.
Applications from area lodges, camps, & resorts will also accepted at this time

Location;
We are primarily looking for an outdoor wooded area for the new field. A Semi flat area with some Clearings would be nice but isn't a big concern. We are flexible on Acreage for the new location.

Please refer to the "New Location" Discussion Thread for additional information
-or-
Contact Joe Zam so we can setup a meet.

Please feel free to ask questions or make offers. The worst we can say is no.
thanks

Antietam 08 was another hit!!!

Another great turnout for one of our best events of the year!!!
The morning featured possibly one of the greatest battles we have seen thus far between the Union and Confederate forces. Things were close for the first half with the land rapidly changing hands almost like a "300fps. Chess Game" as a few players quoted. The second half erupted into a fierce battle between "Sprinkles" & "Jake" with the union nearly reaching Sharpsburg within the first 10 minutes.

We would like to give thanks to all the players that showed for the event along with First Blood Paintball, Key Stone Militia, Pa Brew Crew, Rogue Warriors, and F.O.R.K. Not to mention Event Sponsors KEE, Empire, Invert, BT, Vague312.com, and Ptv. An extra thanks go out to the Referees for keeping things running smoothly before, during, and after the event.

The 2 lucky Promaster winners and other event pics can be found on our Photo Album & the Field Myspace.

Our Next Shooting Booth Location & the New CP Shirts

Forty fort Bizarre July 17th, 18th, and 19th(sat).

On July 17th, 18th, and 19th we will have our 24ft Snap Cage Target range setup at the Forty Fort bizarre. Our booth will be setup in the main entrance next to Water Warz. Players will of the have 10 balls to hit a variety of targets a number of times to win either a free Field Pass to our Dallas Location or the New CP 2008 T-shirt.

We will be also giving out
3 Grand Prizes of a full day of play including 1000 balls
to our upcoming Antietam Scenario Aug 17th.

How the Grand Prize drawing works.
Each player that wins a prize during all 3 days gets a Paint Ticket. Everyday we will collect the tickets in one of skullys pods. On Saturday night we will be drawing the 3 lucky Grand Prize Winners. Just so everyone including those with bad aim has a fair shot at the Grand Prize we will also be incorporating the BUG Stamp program. When a person plays they automatically get a Bug Stamp. If you get 3 bug stamps in the same day you get a chance to win the Grand Prize weather you hit the targets or not!

Here is the Forum Discussion Thread

Selling off our old rentals

Since we are upgrading the rentals to the BT Combats's we will be selling our old Tippmann 98's $ Prolights at a discounted rate. Each marker includes a hopper and tank. Depending on the amount of markers purchased we can throw in a large parts kit and a few other markers in pieces.

Each marker has had a fair share of use but they have been well maintained and make a great backup or loaner gun. Please contact us for pricing.

Anyone interested please contact Joe Zam at Vague312@yahoo.com

Yet again Antietam draws players from across the Northeast.

The event was based around Antietam during the Civil War. Todd B (Team Havoc) led the Confederate Defense and Oddball (Rogue Warriors) Led the Union across the battle field. To simulate musket fire the hoppers came off the markers and the players had to feed single ball to add to the realism. The second game players put the hoppers back on to add to the game intensity. The Attacking Union had to capture 3 Objectives from the confederacy Bloody Lane, Burnside Bridge, and Sharpsburg.

The Games
In the early stages of the Musket fire (Single Shot) game seemed slow for the Confederates but a mass barrage of suicide charges from the Union shook things up a bit for both sides later in the game. Burnside Bridge had its fair share of paint flying changing hands several times during the day wile Bloody Lane held well by PA Brew Crew saw its fair share of Union attacks.
All in all the Confederates had won the first game holding all 3 objectives.

The second game with hoppers on definitely proved advantageous for the Union. Within minutes of game start Bloody Lane ripped into a fierce firefight and Burnside Bridge fell to the Union within the first 20 minutes. The lines melted away back and forth several times with the Union eventually pushing closer to Sharpsburg wave after wave but they couldn't’t manage to shake the Confederates from there positions on Bloody Lane.
The Game ended with the Union controlling Burnside Bridge. The Confederates finished holding Bloody Lane and Sharpsburg.
Confederacy won the second game holding more objectives.

Wile some players attended the afterward open play most took the time to share new war stories and gloat about bad decisions made into lasting memories.

We would like to thank everyone who made this event possible.
Teams Rogue Warriors, Havoc, & PA Brew Crew
Donnie (Concession Stand-Great food!)
But most of all the Players and Referees who attended the event.

Thanks for the great time everyone. Glad everyone had a blast.
