The Woodland Reapers are attending Oklahoma D-Day for the first time as a team. We'll be playing on the Allied side, but are unsure as to what unit we'll be joining. We're probably only going to be there on Friday and Saturday, but it's definitely worth it. Where else can you go for a beach landing, a field with trenches, or to get shot at by a tank?
We're having a meeting sometime in May to get together for some grub and talk about who wants to go to D-Day, who can go, what our game plan is, carpooling, and sleeping arrangements. You should come to the meeting even if you're unsure if you can go because of financial reasons. Here's why:
Mark and I have talked about having a sniper contest to raise money for going to D-Day. One idea is to have everyone in the contest put $5 (or more) in the pot. Each contestant will shoot one shot at a pie pan setup at about 150 feet away. After so many rounds, the person with the most hits wins the pot. The only stipulation is: if you win the contest you must go to D-Day. More details to come...
Oklahoma D-Day is the world's largest paintball game, hosted every year in Wyandotte, OK. This WWII re-enactment of the invasion at Normandy draws players from all over the world. It's a week-long event, with the main D-Day game kicking off at 9:00am on Saturday, June 13th.
