This is officially my new favorite place to airsoft, I never want to airsoft anywhere else but here. You guys did a great job putting it together, thank you for allowing us to try out your field.

Never thought I'd see an outdoor cqb. Nug and I had an absolute blast out there today. I personally thought the swampy part of the swamp added to the game. It made people really have to think about the best route to get from point A to point B.( I personally just went straight regardless).
First,I want to thank Ralph and his family for welcoming us onto his property, to deliver some plastic death! They did an absolutely awesome job of making us feel welcome.(not something we often experience from much of the paintball community). And they were so eager to learn about our sport. It was refreshing and kind of renewed some of my enthusiasm.
Second I want to thank Brian from Extreme Velocity, for his putting together all of the short and innovative games. The size of this field definately lends itself toward the multiple, shorter time frame games. Very nice job of recognizing this and planning accordingly. And that was positively the coolest briefcase bomb I've seen! MUST GET ONE myself!
Third I want to thank Cyclops, and anybody else from F.O.A.D., that helped make this thing happen.
And last but not least, I want to thank everybody who came out and played today. That was honestly one of, if not THE funnest game I've ever played( and I've played a lot). Guys had amazing attitudes, listened to and followed direction, helped each other out with any problems they were having, ran within the game concept and worked as a team, and people played honorably. Not once did I hear the dreaded "call your f..king hits!" Made the day MUCH more enjoyable for all. It was also really cool to see some of us letting some of the admins/family members shoot their stuff. That's what promoting our sport is about!
Great job by ALL involved today, and can't wait to return to "The Swamp", and my new friends, Ralph and his family!

Hey Swamp, you can edit your original post and add the picks there.

Or, you could write another post telling us how awesome we are! LOL

Can't wait to see the picks, video, & field! (Will you bust out the tank next time?)

Well I finally got out of my hot tub after spending the day with a great group of guys at “The Swamp”. We had 54 players and had room for more. We can’t wait for these pictures to come up from the guys at the swamp. Thx Shrek it’s a great field! Different from everywhere else we play and it’s a good change. Brian (Extreme Velocity) thank you for making this game great by your scenarios. Never the same game twice. The time bomb is AWSOME!! To my team mates thank you for helping getting things ready so we could have a swift start…. ShortBu great seeing you and your son again and looking forward to lighting YOU up next time! WhipLash it was also great seeing you out there but next game we play we should try to be on the same side… LOL To everyone else thank you for making this one of the best games we have been in. Lets keep the great attitude, team work, and willing to help others to other games we play in the future (on any field).
To the guys that couldn’t make it to this game. If your not dirty after stepping onto this field then your just not playing hard enough. Looks rough but trust us it is a blast.

Thanx Cyclops. It does seem I got the better of ya this time out, but next time who knows??? I always enjoy playing against you, and the rest of the FOAD team. Your guys do it right, and it's a lot of fun shooting off the "friendly" banter at each other during the games.

I'm overweight, not over rated. :D but I do have to admit, it felt REALLY good to run again. Since the surgery, I haven't even thought about trying to run. But I was having such a good time at that game, I just took off. Once I got to where I was going, I realized I actually ran. It was AWESOME!

You suck. Give me back your OGRE patch. Next batch of patches should say, "OGDFR"--Old Guys Don't bleeding Run. We'll call it the "og-dufer" patch.
