graphic scheme, other admins started developing game
maps and props, and Carlos started generating his
infamous memes to create a buzz on Facebook. Industry
support for this group is key. The admins of the group
truly are a devoted group of paintballers hoping to use
magfed to bring out the best aspects of paintball and to
get more people on the field.
The companies that supported this event are MILSIG
Direct, Magfed Uprising, LAPCO Paintball, Houston
Hydro Dip, Magfed Solutions, Tippmann, and TANKS
Paintball Park. “For the better part of the past year, Tank
and I have had many conversations about how magfed
is shaking up the industry and the potential it carries
overall for the sport,” said Carlos. The game was a very
interesting one to watch. The teams placed on the red
team were very effective at taking ground and holding
defensive positions. However, Carlos opted to put team
members on the blue team that were very aggressive to
test the offense vs. defense’s tactics. He also wanted to
watch how the teams would play out in a format where
players only had 7-20 rounds available to them at any
given time. And that he did. Any time there was playing
going on the field; you would find Carlos out there.
Under the blazing heat of the afternoon sun, blue team
pushed hard and quickly learning that going out full blast
was not a great idea in the heat. Red team was able to
keep the lead until the sun went down. As soon as blue
team was cooled off and resupplied, they quickly came
back from behind to put the score at 2550-2500 with red
team barely holding the lead. At the restart of the game
on Sunday morning, it was anyone’s game. The conquest
portion of the game started with the first scoring at 10am
being tied. By the second scoring at 10:30, blue team
shocked everyone by devastating the red teams defenses
and held them at their command post to take all 6 flag
positions. To keep things interesting, Carlos rallied the
red team in the parking lot and allowed them to go in
guns blazing at the entry gates at blue teams rear to allow
the red team to break out of the command post. In years
past this tactic was used in Virginia and North Carolina to
give the dominated team another chance to get back in
the fight.
The third scoring resulted in a tie. The blue team
maintained the lead and the red team would need
to score all stations at the final scoring to win the day.
