D - Day Oklahoma 2011

[BGAdmin]

Welcome to Oklahoma D-Day! You are about to participate in the World’s Largest Paintball Event. An Event so large it will challenge your every skill as a scenario paintball player. If you’re a first timer, this game is like no other in the world. If you’re a veteran you should pay particular attention to the game changes or tweaking from the previous year because the game is always evolving. Regardless, the objective of this event is for you to have a good time and experience D-Day, Oklahoma style.

Oklahoma D-Day is not your typical "Big Game" where hundreds or even a thousand paintball players show up and attack one specific objective or play capture the flag. With 3,500 to 4,000 players that come to this event annually, it would be uncontrollable mass chaos. Rather, like the actual Invasion of Normandy, several battles unfold across the field throughout the day. Sides are awarded points for holding or taking critical objectives at key times. It is highly advisable that you study the history of the actual invasion, including individual units and their battles, as it will give insight into the missions and objectives in Oklahoma D-Day.

The event runs for an entire week with the main D-Day game starting on Saturday morning at 9 AM. During the week there are several mini-scenarios, qualification courses, and walk on speed ball games. There's even a SPPL qualifier, the weekend before. Camping is available for a minimal charge of $5.00 and the week turns out to be an experience that you’ll never forget. What you put into it, is basically what you’ll get out of it.

Since there is so much going on, you should plan the activities that you want to attend as well as set a budget. Nothing is worse then burning up all of your paint and money before the main game. It’s bad for you and extremely bad for your side. Commanders need you out on the field, giving 110% for the entire day on Saturday. It’s fine if speed ball is more your style, but you registered for Oklahoma D-Day, not an NPPL Tournament. If you have enough money and paint to burn, by all means feel free to rock the speed ball fields all week long. Likewise, if you just came to hang out in a camp site, Yellowstone would be a better choice. But the single most important thing you can do is be out on the field swapping paint with your opponent for the entire day on Saturday!

The main game is long and it’s usually very hot. You are the only person that knows your own limitations, however for your side to be effective, you need to pace and sustain yourself. Staying hydrated is critical. At every opportunity you should be drinking water. For a quick snack at a Dead Zone, pack a couple of Power Bars. They will help sustain your energy level and get you back into the game quickly. Even though air and paint are available at certain dead zones, you should be prepared to carry most of your equipment with you since you’ll probably want stay in the action as long as possible.

We intend on going to this event next year, 2011 so everyone has plenty of time to save up.

This will be an amazing week of paintball and i cant wait?

quick question what costs we got ?

[::Empire::]

10 days off the most epic paintball
to probably ever go down, they have
something like 23 mobile tanks,
planes and helicopters flying over
to send and recieve cooridates for
players on the ground, also flights
over the game field cost less than
$10 (so ive read)...

this is a fullscale re-enactment of
of D-Day with over 500 Achers of land
est. 6,000 players, every mod, paintball
gun and gear known to man will be there
and with the dollar cheaper than the pound
i will be buying alot of tech to return with.

we will be looking at prices for hotels, on site RV's,
food, flights there and back, car rental, game expenses.

and draw it into one amount then pay it off
over the coming year or so... so when we arrive
all you gotta worry about is paint and drink...

in the mean time though check out one of the videos
from last years event in our video section.
