German victory in 2018!!! 4 in a row!

Posted by Michael Copeland on Sunday, June 24, 2018,
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...

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...

Battle for Iwo Jima

Posted by Michael Copeland on Saturday, November 4, 2017,
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...
