Under cool clear skies, Indy Paintball Battlegrounds,
in Greenwood, IN, welcomed players for its first two
day scenario game - Outbreak! The world faced
its most terrifying enemy that could wipe out all of
humanity. Somehow a scientific experiment escaped
the lab. No one know how the experiment escaped,

left, trying to survive the virus. One of these groups

to the city limits. But right before the lunch break, the
Woodsmen start to push back. During this time, supplies
and even top secret information were being collected
by both sides. After the lunch break, the teams switched
sides, leaving the Woodsmen in charge of the Brig and
the Army in the woods. As the second half of the day
started, the Woodsmen gained control of most of the city
as the Army tried to get into the city. It was not until the
end of the day that the Army started to push hard on the
city and start to control some of the buildings.
Sunday morning came in partly cloudy and with a great
