Bombed, waiting for backup
The team playing the US soldiers in the vehicles had to defend themselves against an attacking enemy and wait for backup to arrive and get them out of the danger zone

Local paintball warriors had a great time on Saturday morning with another shoot ‘em up affair at ‘The Arena’ on the N11.
The match scenario played out in Afghanistan, where an American military convoy is hit by an IED (improvised explosive device). The team playing the US soldiers in the vehicles had to defend themselves against an attacking enemy and wait for backup (teammates) to arrive and get them out of the danger zone.
The Ladysmith Paintball Team would like to say a special thank you to Pro Motors and Hansa’s Scrap Yard for the sponsorship of old car shells for the arena. These car shells are going to be used in future events of different kinds.
