This year Fulda Gap had some changes from the last 14 . Some of these changes were a small as 140 + new signs to keep players from getting lost in the 70 + acres of field play . Larger changes were improvements , modifications , and changes to the playing field to give allow the filed to play differently . This year player starting positions were different as well , players were allowed to move up to the “ DMZ ” and stare their opponents in the face before game on . All in all , the changes to the event and field seemed to be very well received by all who attended . Many more changes are planned for 2022 !
Fulda BY the Numbers
This year the event had 1412 registered players , 8 vehicle tanks , 4,880,000 paintballs fired and 115,950 First Strike rounds fired ( First Strike tells us this is an event record ). When all the points were totaled after 2 days of hard-fought battle , Warsaw Pact forces lead by Archangel Mikel and XO Jason Reaper Man were victorious over NATO forces lead by Chris Aguayo and XO John “ Madcow ” Holm .
It must be said that while WARSAW won the game , both sides gave their all . Both sides played hard , and both sides played with honor . Most importantly , old friendships were re-kindled , and new friendships were made and I cannot think of a better way to spend a weekend than making memories with friends on and off the battlefield .
