Valken Sponsored “The Brotherhood” sent us this action-packed recap of Badlandz recent scenario game, “Battle for Serenity Valley”–
Brotherhood of Dog Soldiers Scenario Paintball Team
“This was the beginning of the 2012 season for The Brotherhood. They decided to back their friends, The Saints, and fight for the Alliance. They went against the Redcoats, which consisted of The Fringe, Rock & Roll Death Patrol, and Casket Co., and the third faction Reavers, Shadow Ops. This was going to be a different style game at the Badlandz. Although there were missions, this game was more of a territory focused game. There were 5 slapsticks that were counted every half hour spread across the field.
Of course, the most exciting part of the weekend was Friday night. The Brotherhood had recently placed an order with their newest sponsor, Guerilla Air. The order was in, so The Brotherhood that was there on Friday could start modifying their gear to compliment the new air tanks.
Saturday morning came around and The Brotherhood was ready to go into battle. On Saturday The Brotherhood had Ravine as their home base. There were only 2 slapsticks between Ravine and Center Fort so they knew that they had their work cut out for them. The Brotherhood found The Saints and grabbed as many walk-ons as we could to fight the uphill battle across the open field to take Center Fort. Jumping from bunker to bunker and pushing as hard as they could, The Brotherhood was able to secure the Center Fort after a few short minutes.
After The Brotherhood took the Center Fort they waited a few minutes to regroup and make a plan. They decided that they wanted to take the slapstick down in the Valley. Pushing the Redcoats out of the area, The Brotherhood was able to get the slapstick with ease. Although taking everything was easy, holding these positions would prove to be a challenge.
After lunch, the Redcoats had pushed the Alliance back to their base, and had them pinned. This meant that the Redcoats had control of 4 out of the 5 slapsticks, and were racking up points. After some quick thinking and improvising, Loki the General, decided to send The Brotherhood to Hells Castle base by airdrop. Only 20 people could go on an airdrop, and that worked out perfectly for The Brotherhood, since that is how many Brothers were there. They got dropped at Hells Castle and there wasn’t a Redcoat in sight. The Brotherhood pushed towards the Center Fort grabbing each slapstick along the way, 4 in total. The Alliance now had control of all 5 slapsticks, the first and only time that had happened the entire weekend. Although it was short lived, there was a sense of accomplishment owning all of the territories.
Saturday was a great day of paintball. There were many battles - many pushes and a few surprise attacks. In the end, The Brotherhood was down on points, but not by much. At their campsite they discussed how Sunday would be different, how they would start strong, and maintain field dominance the entire game. After talking with The Saints, it was decided that they best way to ensure field dominance was to have control of Center Fort and the majority of the slapsticks. The way to guarantee that The Brotherhood would be in Center Fort first, was to use an airdrop at game on.
Sunday started, and The Brotherhood was already at Center Fort. The Reavers were inside, but The Brotherhood wasn’t worried. They pushed from 2 sides, got inside, and cleared the fort in under a minute. The pure force The Brotherhood was up for any challenge. The Brotherhood held the Center Fort for the majority of the morning, but ended up losing it near lunch break due to lack of Alliance reinforcements.
After lunch, The Brotherhood started the same way they started back at game on, with an airdrop at Center Fort. They held it, and were racking up the points. The Redcoats, decided to do what The Alliance did on Saturday, and air dropped at our base. The Brotherhood, with their sponsorship with Tri-Square Radios, was able to communicate to their entire team to fall back and save their base. The Brotherhood kept The Redcoats in the brush, and eliminated each one of them – never losing the base!
After Sunday’s lunch was the time for the most notable battles.
The first notable battle was Mike “Disarm” Galloway pushing through Window with the cover fire of Bob “Grey Mallion” Brehmer. Grey Mallion was able to ensure that Disarm got to a safe bunker where he would be able to pick off The Redcoats while under ample cover. It was this battle that allowed The Alliance to push through Window and regain some lost ground from when they fell back to protect their base.
The second notable battle was when Steve “Forest Hunter” Geobel and Andy “Andy O” Ormond pushed through window near the end of the game. Forest Hunter, tired of sitting in the background grabbed Andy O and decided to run up the tape line, pushing 100+ meters, shooting anything that stood in his way with his Tippmann X7 Phenom. Andy O was running with a rocket launcher, and was prepared to shoot at any bunker that Forest Hunter missed. This heroic push was enough to motivate the rest of The Alliance, and get more people moving, resulting in an epic firefight that pushed many Redcoats back.
The third notable battle, wasn’t really a battle, but more of a game turner. The Alliance’s operative, and Brotherhood favorite Adam “Little Wolf” Harris walked from our base (Hells Castle) through the entire field to The Redcoat’s base (Ravine) without a gun. While everyone looked at him weirdly, no one shot him because he wasn’t a threat, he didn’t have a gun. What he did have was an explosive in his pocket! He walked all the way to Ravine and blew up their base. This scored The Alliance enough points to seal the victory, and put Little Wolf in the top contender spot for MVP.
Although The Brotherhood didn’t walk home with any awards, everyone knew that they deserved them. From their massive stopping force on the field, to their sportsmanship getting everyone from every team involved, to their teaching walk-ons how to avoid getting shot out easily – they are a team to be recognized. They kept their winning streak going, and they add to their perfect record at the Badlandz (4-0). They even kept history true, the Alliance beating the Redcoats in Serenity Valley.”

Valken
Redemption, Graffiti, Crusade and Fate paintballs are 100% PEG, no
additives. Can your paint supplier say that?
U.S.
Government facilities have approved 100% PEG Valken Redemption, Graffiti,
Crusade and Fate paintballs for use on paintball fields located on prestigious
and eco-conscious military bases such as USMC Base Camp Lejeune, NC and Camp
Pendleton, CA, US Army Bases in Fort Hood TX and USMA West Point, NY along with
the USAF Academy in CO.
Field
Operators have made
the switch to Valken and said, “Not only are
these paintballs 100% PEG, they don’t have starch or other clumping agents that
ruin orings, destroy guns or remain on my bunkers for weeks on end. “Valken
paint is easy to clean up, doesn’t attract insects or produce mold or mildew
and it’s the cheapest, 100% PEG paintball in the industry”.
Hundreds of
field owners (and the US Government) trust Valken paintballs to keep their
businesses cleaner and running smoothly.
From
coast to coast, Valken Redemption, Graffiti, Crusade and Fate paintballs are
THE choice
