"Oklahoma D-day 2020: The Final Battle", will be held on June 8 - 13th at Dday Adventure Park in Wyandotte, Oklahoma. This will bring to a close the long-running Oklahoma Dday scenario game. I'm sad this event will be coming to an end, as I watched my son grow up playing paintball with me at this event. Good Lord Willing, this will be my 21st year to attend and my son's 16th.
If you have never been THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THIS GREAT EVENT!!! Register soon and pick your side. If you are a D-day veteran that hasn't been to the game in a while, come on back and get in on the finale!!
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE AND TO SHOOT PAINT WITH YOU/AT YOU!!!

Das Buzzard crew members Brian Copeland, Luke Falco & me along with Ed Poe - all members of team WARR - went to OFF Limits Paintball in Elm Grove, Louisiana on March 2 to attend the annual 1st of the month Meet & Greet game. Off Limits is run by Dallas & crew & is one of the nicest paintball facilities around! The Meet & Greet game is set up where you can use any marker you want, but you are required to run a gravity-fed hopper; or you can run an A-5 or a Mag-fed marker as long as it doesn't ...

The German forces won a hard-fought 500 point victory at Oklahoma D-day 2018. This was my 19th year to attend and it was one of the most memorable of all! The HGP team put on the BEST minis ever at D-day!!! Tanks were allowed to park like in the past; there were scorable objectives for each mini & there was a history lesson/briefing before each game! All the minis were based on actual battles that occured during WW II & were a lot of fun.
The Buzzard ruled the roost in Tuesday's mini - we roll...

Oklahoma D-day 2018 will be June 11 - 17. This is going to be an AWESOME year! The minis this year are based on actual battles that occured during WW II. The tanks will be used in the minis and there are definite objectives that must be taken within a certain amount of time to win the mini.
Also - the Buzzard will have a guest gunner in one of the minis: Andrew "A-train" Holm - overall Valken Corp Commander! We are honored to have him ride in the Buzzard & are going to do our dead-level best t...

My son Brian; his fiance Brittany Andrews; Ed Poe & I left for Pandemonium as soon as the last bell rang at school on Friday, April 6th. After a 5 1/2 hour drive we arrived at the Dday Adventure Park in Wyandotte, Oklahoma - home to the world's largest paintball event: Oklahoma D-day! It was Ed's first trip to the park. We set up Brian & Ed's tents as it started sleeting & the wind began to pick up. By the time their tents were up - the wind was going at a steady 20 mph with gusts up to 30 an...

Brian & I will be attending the Pandemonium game. We are signed up for the Sorcerer's League. Sadly, we don't have the funds to take the Buzzard, but Brian will be gunning out of rhe Trogdor tank & I will be ground-pounding with one of my friends that has never been to the D-day field. This looks like it is going to be a fun game! Come give it a try!!

The Battle for Iwo Jima scenario held at Memphis Paintball Park in Lakeland, Tennessee was a BLAST! This was my first trip to this park & I HIGHLY recommend it! Brian & I ground-pounded for the Japanese forces. The Japanese forces ruled the day early, but ran out of paint & air around 12:45 allowing the Marine forces to virtually take over the entire field. We spent the rest of the day fighting out of the dz trying to retake parts of the field. I had a BLAST all day. Team Das Buzzard ran sev...
