The Game
There were four factions to account for in this game: Los Terrores, Shadow 13, Iron Serpent, United States Government. The goal of the game for the cartels was to move their products to the buyers found at various locations on the field. For the U. S. Government, it ' s to intercept the shipments of products to the buyer, while of course, eliminating players along the way.
Around 11am players worked their way to the four flag bases on this very large playing field. I walked the perimeter of the field as players were getting long-sustained battles throughout the day— and many, many skirmishes.
Once night fell double crosses between the cartel leaders happened with hit squads blowing each other bases and leading to general assassinations.
Sunday morning the business of moving product and waging war continued, with teams battling back and forth. Stand down took place at noon, with the final battle set for 1pm. The goal of final battle was to pick up the products that were spread throughout the 50 yard line. It was The U. S. Government and Shadow
13 V. S. Los Terrores and Iron Serpent. In the end The U. S. Government and Shadow 13 took the win for final battle ready for the noon game start horn and it took me 30 minutes to complete the loop. I was at the south base when the game started and I was surprised to at how long the trek was from the south base to the initial contact with their opponents. The initial contacts around the field were fierce, with both sides taking huge casualties, but hanging on long enough for reinserted players to bolster the lines. These first battles lasted more than an hour on all sides of the field.
The final scores were as follows.: Los Terrores-1260 Iron Serpent- 1140 United States- 1030 Shadow 13- 960

Eventually the cartels formed alliances in order to help each other move product, while keeping the U. S. Government at bay. The three cartels were moving guns, drugs and body parts. There were several www. paintball. media
