Getting Down to the Wire

Hey All,

We are about 3 days from gameday. I hope everyone is excited about the big scenario and the plans we have. I understand that more buidlings have been built and that some have been improved since last time. There will also be lots of FREE water out there on the field to help prevent any heat injuries. We have pyro, smoke, and all sorts of prop goodies to unload on you as well as plenty of grenades available for sale at the TOC. One last thing: Here is the map for the event. Note the points of interest and grid coordinates included and the changes from Mission Alpha.

I look forward to meeting and greeting everyone on the day of the event. See you there!

Last Day for PRE-REGISTRATION

Hey All,

Just a reminder that TODAY is the last day to pre-register at the $25 event price for Austin Mission Bravo. We will still be taking walk-ons and they are more than welcome but the event price will be $35 at the door. I hope to see everyone there from last time. The field has been improved, there are a few more buildings to deal with, we will have smoke, pyro, simulated Airborne Insertions, more props, more special ops, and more missions not to forget 15min insertions! Mission Bravo will be an unforgetable event!

Home Stretch Update!

Greetings again, everyone!

We're in the home stretch of preparations for Austin Mission Bravo! If you've pre-registered, you should be receiving emails from our staff (if you haven't already).

This is a last-minute note to let everyone know that our pre-registration deadline has been confirmed. It is midnight of 27APR. As of that time, our pre-registration website will stop taking registrations. Folks registering on 03MAY (at the event) will be charged $35, as was mentioned previously.

On another note, if you intend to bring paintball mines, please read our rules on them at the following link:
http://austinmissionscenario.blogspot.com/2008/03/official-rules-for-mission-bravo.html(you can get some rules clarifications here as well: http://austinmissionscenario.blogspot.com/2008/04/rules-faq-posted.html)

In either of those blog posts, click on the link at the top of the post to download the file!

Most importantly, you MUST BRING PAINTBALL MINES TO A MISSION COORDINATOR BEFORE USING THEM! I can't stress this enough for safety reasons.

As an aside, note that we're not allowing NERF LAW rocket launchers. They don't even have an effect in our rules.

Thanks so much to everyone who's pre-registered and who has helped or assisted us in any way leading up to this event. We're really looking forward to getting out there and having a great time with everyone!

best regards, and see you on the field,DrunkenmasterKrasnovian Mission Coordinator - The Austin Missions

Austin Mission Alpha Pictures are UP!

Hey All You Scenario Players,


I've finally been able to load all 200+ pictures up somewhere, that's 100MEGs of Pics all, and it has taken some time. The best I could do what throw them up on Flickr. So do a search for Austin Missions and check out Austin Mission Alpha. Or use this link:

Sorry but you'll have to cut and paste as the link is kinda wierd OR check out our links section to go right there with a click!. I'm trying to put up a slideshow here on the blog but it's being difficult. Stay tuned and I'll have it up soon!

Pre-register please!

Greetings again, everyone!

This is a friendly reminder to get out there and pre-register for Austin Mission Bravo (on May 3rd) if you haven't already. We've had a ton of people confirm that they're going to attend from all around the state. To finalize our plans and make sure we're ready for everyone, it's important that we have an accurate estimate of our attendance. To help us with that, please register soon!

On another note, I should mention that everyone who plays in Austin Mission Bravo will have to sign a waiver, even if you've played at the field before. You can find that waiver for download at the following link:

http://xtremepb.net/waiver.html

This is especially important for players between 10 and 17. Players 10-17 will need to have a parent sign their waiver to play. There will be no exceptions to this rule! So, if you fall into that range (or especially if you're a parent bringing a large group of kids that may or may not be your own), print out the waiver and bring it to us already signed.

Thanks so much for all your attention and support. We're really excited about seeing everyone out there for some scenario action on May 3rd!

all the best,
Drunkenmaster (aka Ray)

Support from and for Tactical Paintball

Hello again from the Austin Missions Staff!

We're looking forward to one hell of an event at Austin Mission Bravo! Part of the reason for that is the awesome support we've received from the community over at Tactical Paintball in Harwood, TX. Tim "CPTMaverick" Siemek (who's commanding the US 82nd Airborne) has put out on their web forums a general call to the Tactical community to come support him at Mission Bravo. He and his team are hardcore and dedicated to restoring peace to Uzbekistan! Check out the link on their forums here:

http://tacticalpaintball.com/newforum/viewtopic.php?t=655

I'd also like to take this time to mention that Tactical Paintball will be holding one of their own scenario events a few weeks after ours. This is one of their annual events that gets great support from players and teams across the Texas region (and beyond). It's their Starship Troopers: Last Stand on the Home Front event, which you can read about here:

http://tacticalpaintball.com/newforum/viewtopic.php?t=612

Think about it, folks! All those new friends you make at Austin Mission Bravo will be playing on their home turf a few weeks later. Head on over to their forums so you can be involved in the discussions! I'm sure the Tactical family will be happy to have you there at one of the major online resources of the Scenario Paintball community in Texas!

It's time to get excited about all the upcoming Scenarios in Texas!

Rules FAQ posted!

Hello again to everyone from the Austin Missions Staff!

We've gotten some questions about our rules and have written up a brief FAQ to clarify some things. Please click the title of this post to check it out and let us know what you think!

Excerpt:

Q: In other games, if an opposing player tapes you with their armband, then you become a spy. Is this acceptable in Austin Missions games?

A: No, it’s not. There are no spies as of yet in Austin Missions scenario events. Your wristband (on which is printed your registration number) and your taped red or blue armband should stay on at all times. We understand sometimes tape comes off, but please let the TOC/Registration know if this happens and we’ll rectify the situation.

New poll is up!

Hey Gang,

We are not quite sure which direction our players would like to take our scenario games. I figure the best way to answer this question is to ask you, the players, for your imput on what theme our scenario series should explore. We have lots of crazy ideas here for the future of the Austin Missions but we would like your imput as your interests dictate what games we would like to organize. So get out there and vote!!!
