Corregidor Scenario_____Game Two As "Iron Jaw" General Douglas MacArthur defiantly resist the Commander in Chief's orders to immediately abandon the Phillipine Islands, the Japanese are growing in confident that victory is their destiny. However, surrender is not in MacArthur's military vocabulary and with total resolve he wades ashore with cameras rolling.Mad Ivan's Paintball created the Island Hopping Campaign, an anachronism which honors historic events in the Pacific Islands during WW2. Each game is based on facts of history which are used for goals and missions. |

| David Huebner is the Japanese General. He's quite accustom to policing forces. His leadership gave the Marines tummy turns. | |

| ^... An opening strategy session is serious business. Quiet plans are guarded by keeping the voice down and looking about now and then to make sure no one is overhearing the tactical talk. | |

2nd Historic battle of Paintball |

The Corregidor Paintball BattleGetting AshoreAs cannon shot opened play, Americans were well aware that simply getting ashore was going to be a task not for the weak willed. Unlike the historic pictures of MacArthur taking a bit of water damage to his boots, wading onto this field of battle was going to be messy. The air support option was finally decided when both teams began to get bored with the turn-stile resurrection shoreline. |
|
Sun Rises |
|
Once the Americans gained air cover the Japanese retreated into the jungle where they establish an impregnable second line.Both sides accomplished special missions with neither loosing ground. The Japanese ability to hold territory just beyond Henderson field was worrisome to the Americans because if they did not manage to subdue the Japanese on Saturday, their work on Sunday would be doubly difficult when the game ground reversed.Marines held the tower as the sun retreated below the tree line. Japanese controlled the jungle terrain and the score board. The Army of the Rising Sun had risen. |
|
"I SHALL RETREAT!" |
|
Sunday was everything and more the exhausted Marines had predicted. The Japanese ability to score worried the old soldier, MacArthur.The American force abandoned all plans other than the hoof it fast techniques as the Japs proved to be a hardened foe.General MacArthur lightened his gear by tossing his high dollar marker into the brush and put one foot far out in front of the other as his troops covered his most valuable glutinous maximous. The General made a successful "Hail Mary" run for the border which kept him muttering for the rest of the evening and some days to come, "I didn't know this old man still had it in him!" |
|
Marine Manage to Win |
|
Once again the Marines won the day, but it seemed to have gotten a whole lot tougher for both teams. Each scored a thousand points less than during the Guadalcanal event. |
|
Final Score- Marines 3,700 Japanese 3,100 |
|
The BBQ banquet and awards ceremony took place after sun down on Saturday. Once again the Marines received the Sword of Victory presented by a humbled Army of the Rising Sun. In turn the Japanese forces shared several awards including the Sword of Honor, Sacred Squadbuster, and the Good Sport "Give Me" Cap Awards. |
|
 |
< The Marines held Henderson Tower as the sun began to fall, literally. Then on Sunday morning, when the game field flipped, the Army of the Rising Sun rose. They successfully defended the tower with volumes and volumes of grenade launches. Jap's Smokin! |
 |
|
Mark Fox earned the most valuable Tracer honor. A good many other rewards and honors were shared late in the evening after a meal of BBQ Beef with all the trimmings. |
