4th Anniversary Event - Event Date: Jul/11/2009

I know EVERYONE loved the food our big time Italian Chef put together for last years picnic. He'll be back and I told him this time to plan on about 4 times as much food next year. I couldn't believe the shark attack that hit the buffet in July.

THIS WILL BE A DAWN-TO-DUSK EVENT, which will allow more time for paintball after we are done with the cookout. Stays light until 8:30 so why not make a day of it.

I cant recall the menu but what i do recall is it being pwn to the highest degree.

Really???

STALINGRAD KESSEL [Cauldron]!!!!

No mercs
No spies
Simple kill rules

Objective:
Hold the village (for Rooskies)
Take the village (for Der OPFOR)

Seige warfare never went out of style, be it medieval times, Yorktown, Verdun, Stalingrad, Leningrad (800days!!!!), Berlin, or in modern times like Sarajevo, and Baghdad.  Talk about cool!   Just run a tape line behind the village to simulate the Volga, and have Rooskie respawn from the other side in groups.  OPFOR attacks at will.

Just an idea

Yes the buildings, but more as well.  A siege is rarely just the urban district itself.  While we in the west have come to call it simply "Stalingrad", at the time it was called "The Kessel" or the "Stalingrad Kessel/cauldron."  It was the thin strip of city on the W bank, but far more of the battle took place in the countryside around the city (though the city was always the key objective).

Take for example Khe Sahn or Dien Bien Phu or Sarajevo in the 90's and Beirut in the 80's...the town/city was the object, and the surrounding countryside is where the seige was decided.  I'm just saying the buildings should be the objective.

Dunno about a Reichstag game.  Sounds fun.  Saturday was my first time at Battlefront

The Reichstag building in the SW corner of the city got it's name based upon the popularity of this game.  Basically you have a fixed number on defense and an equal number on offense. German defenders have no respawn and offensive Russians have rolling respawn. Germans win if they hold out for X minutes and can play in either the tower, ammo dump or the Reichstag but one needs to be alive after time is up. I think in all of the years it's only been defended 4 times. Reichstag patch awarded if you do.

The reicht was the ultimate goal for the russians, it's capture signaled the fall of berlin and the end of nazi germany. It was also the place where hitler killed himself.

I thought he killed himself in his private bunker. Were they attached? Ok so then it isn't to far off that the game could have been named first but per chance happened to be named afterward.

is this going to be one huge game or many smaller games?
