communication and vision problems. Players of all skill
levels with all types of equipment fought side-by-side,
the chatter of Tippmanns broken by the ramping of fastshooting tournament markers while well-aimed shots
from pump markers, stock guns and pistols sailed through
the air. Between the weather and the terrain, what was
intended to be a World War Two scenario sometimes
more closely resembled something between Vietnam and
the Battle for Endor.
As thousands of players slugged it out on the Normandy
Beach for the weekend’s final battle, the scores were
tallied and it was clear – the Allies were victorious with a
final score of 81 to 46. Both teams spent every last ounce
of energy to battle it out on the paintball field and the
incredible event was a great success. If Skirmish ION 2017
isn’t already on your list, don’t miss out. • • •
