Fulda Gap
Overview
Fulda Gap is a game unlike any other game
I have played. I may have not played every
game out there but I know when one hits you
in the heart and gives you a feeling like no
other, and Fulda Gap is one of those. The field
is challenging enough just walking around let
alone taking fire while on it. The challenging
“Hamburger Hill”, ditches, streams, forests
and small town with spectator view areas, it’s
a big scenario players dream come true.
This was my 4th year at Fulda Gap. Located at
Command Decisions War Centre in Taylorsville,
North Carolina. The staff are friendly and the
experience is that of a lifetime. I remember my
first time at Fulda Gap and being overwhelmed
by the atmosphere of the place, I was totally
submersed in a big scenario environment, from
the players being all decked out and wearing
all the greatest outfits, to the amazing markers
from Eric Engler to your average customizer. I
felt at home, like a place I had been looking for
and finally found after searching for years. This
great scenario field where I could be pulled
through the dirt and given the rough treatment
of what it would really be like to experience a
war like atmosphere.
The sides are divided up
from Warsaw to NATO
however don’t let that
fool you, friends are on
both sides and smiles are
shared all around! When
the moment comes to
get on the field and you
see that long line of Red or
Blue, you stand proud among
your mates knowing you are a
force to be reckoned with.
This year’s event was like that of all others
“Amazing”. I turn my radio on a few miles
before the field so I can hear the chatter come
across as all the command staff get their
squads in line and everyone in order. It’s a
buzz that gets your blood pumping as you feel
the camaraderie come alive! The moment you
step out you are greeted by friends all around
you and from new faces to old
ones you never feel alone. A
place where you want to
carry your weight to help
the team as a whole and
work together towards
the common goal.
Your brother or sister is by your side to
help pull you through the
most intense 2 days of
paintball you have ever
had. I feel the shockwave and sound
coming from the
starting gun going
off, I start to march
with 4-500 other
strong brethren, as
we march down the
field knowing we are
