for Exordium : Wadi al-Ubari  Gaddafi's WMD lab is hidden somewhere nearby, likely underground, most of the terrain is too open for an approach - the Lab's guards and air defenses would be alerted so the plan is for a stealthy force on foot through the Wadi with help purchased from a local smuggler-guide ...



a typical access to the Wadi ...



down in the Wadi ...

I really liked the show overall, although I have lots of little minor complaints - still the serious tone is more appealing to me than Zombieland.
Years ago, when the Dawn of the Dead remake was just I out I formulated Escape From Tacoma for paintballers up in WA. The old Patriot Paintball field was an inspiring, the already had several junked boats and some pond areas plus a layout that had two speedball fields flanking the safe zone giving the field a C-shape. Fortified survivors of The Neighborhood Watch squared off with a motorcycle club, The Volcanoes to get control of a ship from the harbor that could carry them to Australia. Periodically players would recycle, as Zombies, at the other teams normal entry point - they could trot through the cover of the speed ball areas to quickly assault the other teams "stronghold". Character cards gave each player one or two skills that ultimately would be needed to repair, provision and operate the ship, for example at one stage three mechanics and an electrician plus one extra hand need to stay adjacent to or aboard the "ship" with "tools" for a 10 minute period to generally overhaul it, then the guys who were sailors or navigators (inc. the High School Geography Teacher) had to find the "charts" needed to get them to Australia, and treasure had to be collected because the Quarantine forces would charge a toll, etc.
I think that The Walking Dead background is a good one for role-playing Ops, I'm looking at setting up a series of games using the Firefight LARP system http://grou.ps/larpnetwork/wiki/item/firefight

(more to come as I assemble the rest)

It was very much a 'pick-up game' - but there was a nice vibe through the chaos. Yeah, some of the kids used their book bags to haul extra ammo, water and stuff.

Back in 2005 I was in a Black Cat paintball Scenario game called Operation Southern Sword; we had about 150 players at SC Village, it was more 'militant' - more like a Harold Coyle techno-combat thriller, Cartels vs. Marines trying to lock down the Border, but there was lots of roleplaying and sub-plots. It was a blast, I fought alongside my jeffe day and night (allied with the Psycho-Clown Posse) in my first major game with a new A-5 ... those were the days !  I cherish the sombrero my team mates gave me.

Some of our players, young to seasoned ...











you can see this event had the whole spectrum of players, some hard-core, some little more than first-timers ...

I'm told that we're having a big game at Mingus this coming Saturday, the 22nd of January 2011.

"Take 89A towards the base of Mingus Mtn. Once you pass the yavapai fairgrounds entrance the area is 6 miles further. The road is Junction 151 (The road to the girls school) There are two yellow bulldozers parked where we will be parking (The bulldozers are right off the road) If you have any more questions hit me up. Thanks, Garrett Rozendaal." This had been described as a D-day themed game, originally planned for New Years but delayed by the storm.

I'll be there to play and especially to document the game for Network Airsoft, where lately all the hoopla has been from Scotland, Poland, and Chile - they're my friends but hey, America's got game !
