June 3 Southwest Paintball Airsoft Games (9 am – 2 pm)
Next games at SWPB are on Saturday June 3. Remember to bring any old gear or guns you may want to sell. We will be setting up a mini Airsoft SWAP meet. The Marauders will sell your gear for you while you play.
About Southwest Paintball
This is a great location for airsoft as it has seven fields featuring an old ghost town, a castle, pirate ship, and a giant field with towers and trenches. Minors are welcome to play at Southwest with a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Take the opportunity to visit SoftAir Depot and get more information about the game. There is a field fee of only $20 per player. Visit www.southwestpaintball.com (http://www.southwestpaintball.com) for directions and pictures of the field
There is a carpool available for the game ($5/person). Carpool leaves SoftAir Depot at 8:00 am and returns at 3:30 pm. Send a pm to get a space.

Field guidelines require players who are under 18 years of age to wear full face mask protection. This requirment is primarily to protect younger players' faces and teeth due to the close engagment distances at Southwest Paintball.
No shooting glasses are allowed on the field during games. Eye protection must be sealed.
As for wearing civilian clothes, these will work just fine at the game as the scenarios will be based on "insurgents" vs US and Iraqi Forces.

Well, I had fun at my first game hosted by AAMike. Hopefully next time there will be more Marauders and more of my team to practice. There are Pros and Cons about playing with minors, but the fact that we all seem to have had a good time is what matters. And damn Arizona... soooo hot! Thanks Mike, for making the game happen, and giving an interesting storyline/scenario. I also had fun shooting with Spaz... you're one bad-ass wingman...
Oh yeah... and did anyone find a dummy grenade in the Southeast corner of the villiage inside the green building? :(

Yeah that was my first organized game ever, it was fun but I had to take of some fo my stuff because the heat. Silent Dragon were you the guy "going ghetto" wearing a white under shirt with the AK-47?

"going ghetto?" It was like... 120 degrees out there! Running around with an 8 lb. weapon and about 10 lbs. of gear on your shoulders doesn't make it any better either. But yes, that was me. Which one were you?
-
Yeah, ill Attest to the gear/heat factor.
Today (sun game at sudden impact) was hotter than fourpeaks in early may. However i had shorts and a shirt today.
Last time i had bdu pants and gear... Man, what a difference with out the stuff. Even with the higher temp it was still better today cause of the lack of gear.
Humidity may play a roll (four peaks is probably more humid than a paint ball field, bushes/little valley and all)

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat to come out and play at Southwest Paintball this weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed the new scenario game format as much as I did. Marauders Airsoft will hold a running story line all summer long that follows real world events in Ramadi, Iraq. Arizona may be hot, but think of our service members who are in serving in combat zones under worse temperature conditions the next time you play in the heat. For those that missed the first installment of Operation Iraqi Freedom, here is a brief synopsis of the event.
Saturday, June 3 1020 hrs, Ramadi, Iraq
Intelligence sources in the city of Ramadi indicate that insurgents plan a large offensive against commercial locations in the city. US and Iraqi military forces move to secure the oil processing plant and docks. An attack by a small group of insurgents against the oil processing plant is easily halted. However, this attack was a diversion by insurgent forces to draw US and Iraqi personnel away from their initial target of a cargo ship laden with ammo at the Ramadi docks.
Insurgents initially meet strong resistance at the docks, but soon claim the cargo ship and off load the vital ammunition and weapons. US and Iraqi forces consolidate at the oil processing plant and survive two waves of suicide charges by the insurgents. The battle comes to a close at 1130 hrs.
1200 Swamps of Ramadi
A US patrol is ambushed in the swamps of Ramadi and five soldiers are pinned down by a large number of insurgents. The five soldiers radio for assitance to US forces at the old Republican Guard Palace for rescue. However, the insurgents overwhelm the patrol and capture the five US soldiers. The soldiers are moved to an abandoned building deep within Old Ramadi.
1245 Old Ramadi
The impossible happens! A small group of US soldiers is able to fight through the insurgents’ defenses in Old Ramadi and recapture 4 of the captive US troops. All US forces extract to the security of the Old Republican Guard Palace. Intelligence sources indicate that the fifth captured soldier has been moved to an insurgent stronghold in Ramadi. US troops fight for over half an hour to breach the insurgent defenses. Although, multiple incursions are made into the insurgents’ town, US personnel are too drained from the heat and battle to rescue their captured soldier. The day’s action ends at 1330 hrs.
JOIN US FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER OF OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM ON JUNE 18TH (9 am – 2 pm)

Brando weren't you the camera guy that everybody was shooting at? :lol: I think I might have accidentaly shot you a few times because you had desert camo.
-
I know i did... and i still feel bad for doing so :P
I just remember scanning the "oil refinery," and pulling the trigger after seeing him walking off... i hit him in the ear(?) i think. SOOORRRYYY! :lol: Oh, and thanks again for giving me a ride to and from my car before and after the game.
Cool pics... i wish i had taken some (i had my camera on me the whole time :( ).
Oh....
You run really fast with an ak silent :). Next game I'll be prepaired.
And thanks... i try to be :D
of course that gave me another reason to play in just my under shirt... i'm the skinny guy in the first pic of Brando's post next to Mike.
Good fun...

That game was cool. I had my sweater on the whole time >< then I passed out at home. You run really fast with an ak silent :). Next game I'll be prepaired. Any info on when the next game is?
A sweater? My god, why would you wear a sweater in arizona? Ever? What was your logic behind that one?
I think i may head up for the next game guys, hope to see some of you out there. I would have come, but airsofting two days in a row in that heat would have probably killed me.

I think he wore his sweater so if he got hit at close range it wouldn't hurt or something like that. In the begging of the game we (the insurgants) tried to take the docks (a boat) but from the side it looked like a big house. I thought it was a house ran right up to it at got hit like 20 times in 2 seconds...anyway were I got hit I wasn't wearing my jacket it was just skin and it hurt soooo bad.
-
Eh, ive never had anything too painful in airsoft. Nothing that was more painful than anything i got in paintball, thats for sure...
I would much rather get a nice welt/bleeding welt than die of heat stroke.
Anyways, to each his own....
-
Well I didn't know it would be that hot. I wasn't shot at all that game. Only once in the head at the last game/skirmish. But yeah I was the guy in jeans and a bright green sweater and a full around paintball mask. Next game I'm coming russian. Exept I cant make the June 18th game :(
-
9am to 2pm? you guys are gonna fry out there....

We already fried...yesterday. Everyone that came out to SWPB yesterday must like airsoft a lot, especially if they played the second mission where our FOB was like 500 ft. away from the battle. When you got shot you had to first find a bridge to cross the "river" then walk back to the FOB wait 3 minutes, walk back to the bridge then get surronded by infadels and shot (rinse & repeat)again all in 120 degree heat. By the time I got home I looked like this

-
it wasnt that bad only 1 kid really got over heated and he was from the east coast where he almost never sees sun.
-
Just curious! AAMike...how come you hardly ever have any pictures at these games your hosting. These guys live for these pictures (aside for the love of playing the game). They love to see themselves in action. Plus it will let them see how much of a goofball they look like.
-

They have this element called Humidity on the East Coast, ;)
-
Actually there were 2 people I removed from the field before they became a heat casualty. Both were not hydrating enough for the heat/activity levels. Neither one was critical yet.

Doc Hollywood you were at the game, what were you wearing?
-
DCUs
-
Thorpe? Right?
-
yep

The next round of missions for June 18th are shaping up quite nicely. We expect about 20-30 players. Please make sure to send me a pm with your choice of uniform and type of weapon.
As for the question about pictures of our events, I take some photos, but primarily for my own enjoyment or presentations. I would encourage any players who want to take pictures and post them to do so.
