Global Conquest… it’s not your typical big game
and definitely not your typical scenario game.
This format is totally different than any paintball
game you have ever played. Points calculated
throughout the day do not determine the
winner of this game, nor is the elimination of
enemy troops worth any point value. No one
will know who the winning Nation of “Global
Conquest” will be until they cash in their
chips at the end of the game. There are seven
teams, representing seven different nations,
each with their own President, Vice-President,
and military officers. Teams are able to buy
and sell ‘gold’ on the “Global Trade Exchange”
as well as hire NATO Forces, purchase tanks,
airplane insertions, attack helicopters, rocket
launcher cards, buy and deploy Star Wars laser
defense systems or buy and launch tactical
nuclear weapons which can destroy an entire
Nation in the blink of an eye. Clues to ‘Gold-
Brick’ Stashes were given out via Hell Survivors®
Social Media Outlets during the event.
This game can be won in two different ways,
financially or militarily. The game theoretically
can be won by never even sending a troop
onto the battlefield. This game can also
be terminated at any time; it is called the
“Armageddon Factor.” If all seven countries
have been hit and destroyed by a nuclear
weapon in the same day... GAME OVER.” In
the event of the Armageddon Factor – You
must stop shooting and return to the dead
zone, cash in all chips at CIA and await further
instructions. The Earth has been destroyed…
everyone is a loser. There are over ten hours
of continuous play over this two-day event.
Saturday there are two hours of game shift
(modified field & special missions). Break for
lunch anytime you want.
The paintball was fantastic. The heat slowed
things down a bit and Covid had created a
demand for refs but everyone was having such
a great time that these issues were largely over
looked. The Expendables stepped up in many
cases to help with the reffing, and they even
held a small 3 man speedball tournament. I
need to give credit to David Weez Cook here
as he immediately headed to the sidelines of
the tournament offering pro paintball tips to
anyone interested in learning to be better.
