: Let's make this as painless as possible: See there are 2 sides. 1 is the defender, the Germans. : 2 is the attacker, the Allies. There is an obvious off sides to the Allies, they MUST enter the German turf via airdrop or the beach. There's noway around that simple fact of the game. : In other words: : There's no Starfleet transporters to allow Allied snipers to appear at will behind German lines.. if that transporter was there, we might see the great Capt. Kirk himself charge Omaha Beach! :) Actually, I was "airdropped" in with the rest of the 101st players...a swift and aggressive run led to my gaining a position above the "Beach" from where I was able to eliminate the players in question and support the "landing". The information given to me was that this was perfectly within the rules of the event...I don't appreciate anyone assuming that I cheated in making what to me was a simply move. As I said, there are some issues that could use improvement at the D-Day game as is the case with MANY paintball events. Rather than flame those who express concerns (and I must say that some folks could express those concerns more...constructively), those in a position to do so need to continue to work to improve the game so that it viewed as more safe and fair...to the benefit of all. Dale and skunkboy...please try to communicate with each other rather than blast away...that is also to the benefit of all of us...the players! :-D
