Diefenbunker Game
We made history while playing in a piece of history this March. Paintball players, and Valken Corps members in particular, had the unique opportunity to play in the Cold War Diefenbunker located in Debert, Nova Scotia.
Over two days( March 9th and 10th) players were allowed the incredible chance to play in an actual bunker from the Cold War, built to house the Nova Scotia government in the event of a nuclear attack.
Day One was a tactical event organized and planned by the Maritimes Valken Corps favoring Mag Fed markers and sidearm’ s. Players were assigned to either the Canadian or Russian teams, and divided into three squads. The squads then competed in a series of tactical missions ranging from traditional capture and control, to“ bomb” disarming, from POW retrieval, right down to good ol’ fashioned assassination.
Players came from all over the Maritime region to participate. And while there were some growing pains with the logistics of running this first event of its kind, the staff soon had a system worked out and the rest of the tactical games went off without a hitch.
