Being a Civil Servant, and gun enthusiast paintball is my kind of fun. But what does Skirmish Paintball hold for the user?
The Location: The location near me is just on the outskirts of Warminster. Not extremely well advertised and slightly hard to find but word of mouth seems to be doing the trick. Situated inside woodland with a range of scenarios it holds a fantastic day out for all paintball players or those just looking for fun.
Scenarios: Cowboy Town. Just recently been put up and although I havent played it yet, I've heard good things. Good cover, aerial positions and all sorts of tactics can be put into play.
Defend the Fort. A small two floor fort surrounded by protective wooden barriers. Objective is to ensure noone from the opposing team makes it close enough to score a kill on your target. This could be a person or you could use the metal sheet they have in there. Defensive tactics involve aerial cover accompanied by a standard flank manouvre. Or you could just unleash hell with paintball grenades if your not that good with tactics. Opposing team should start crawling in a pincer move and apply hell from one side to distract firepower. A two man team can then sweep from behind and finish off opposition.
Saving Private Ryan. A mannequin in army issues is placed in the middle of the field. Team 1's objective is to secure his extraction, whereas team 2 must prevent this. As its very open woodland this game is alot harder then it sounds. Tactics to be put into use is sheer firepower and accuracy to thin out the enemy then attempt to extract.
SCUD. A field with a fake SCUD missle mounted on the back of a truck and a stack of barrels at the other end. Simply search and destroy mission. Wide open with plenty of cover. Virtually all tactics can be used. Even getting in the cabin of the truck for cover. Spreading out seems to work best, but make sure enemy dont manage to flank in behind you and the sides are well covered by foliage.
Staff. Staff there are VERY friendly and accomodating. Lunch is included which is a cheese burger, fries and a drink. Equipment cleanser is there for your use and there is a store where you can stock up more ammo or grenades if you wish.
Equipment. Standard army coveralls. Many sizes right up to XXXL to fit anyone. Standard masks and special masks for those with glasses (like me). Guns are pretty good. Very reliable and a good range. Teams are distinguished by two different colour hoppers for each team (in case you shoot your own man!).
Prices are about £45 for equipment rental. £5 for each 100 paintballs. £5 for either a smoke or paintball grenade. Drinks are £1 in case you cant wait until lunch time. Sometimes if your a regular they let you have 1000 paintballs and equipment for £45 so its worth getting in with the staff while your there. Velocity can be adjusted for those who dont want to hurt too much too.
Overall a fantastic place for paintballing and a great day out at good prices. Highly recommended by me, but quality may range from site to site but the Warminster one is absolutely brilliant.
