was incredible. Feeling the shake of the shields as the paint
rained down on them, and then seeing your teammates
ducked down pushing with you was an astounding feeling!

Each game of the day was different with varying objectives.
For the second scenario, both teams were searching for
Balins Tomb. The team that secured this tomb for 20
minutes won that match! Red team did an excellent job
on this game and won that scenario by finding the tomb (a
coffin with skeletons and lights, very well decorated) and
pushing our team back.  The third game started with both
teams searching the mines for Gullum, who was dressed
as Gullum with a mask and everything! He even used a
Tippmann TiPX marker! He shot at both teams if they
got near and you had to shoot him, and he would drop in
place. Then you had to claim him and take him back to your
spawn station. I was lucky enough to catch up just after
two players on my team found him and captured him and
got to help protect them while escorting them all the way

back to our spawn station where we won that scenario. The
game went on as both teams were in firefights all over the
mines as they met each other in the darkness. After a set
period of time that game ended. The Urban Guard had so
many creative props for this event including weapons that
the special players carried and they even got to take them
home with them! I got the coolest Axe from the game that
I can hang on my wall! This was a very remote location so
the Urban Guard had a food truck on site, where you could
get very reasonably priced food including hot dogs for $1,
pizza, barbecue sandwiches, sports drinks and all kinds of
candy bars and other snacks! Even soup if you were chilly
from the 55 degree mines.

The fourth scenario was a slapstick game where Green
team defended two of the 4 tunnels, the green team had
to make our way down tunnel 3 to defend three and four,
and only a few of our team members were fast enough to
get there before the red team was already pushing their
way into the tunnels! So the red team won that game
pretty quickly! It was amazing how fast those guys were
able to get through the mines during the game, as it is
literally pitch black. I mean so dark that if you wave your
hand in front of your face, you see nothing!
