Thank You! I would look further into that. This is why I love Skirmish so much! Your customer service is amazing! I’ve only been to Skirmish once which was last year April and I had such an amazing time! I felt safe and comfortable. By the end of the day I felt like a paintball warrior. Your refs are amazing and I cannot wait to come back! Thank you for the awesome service and the memories that will last forever!    - Jarid M.

I must write to tell you how fabulous the day was. My daughter Peyton chose 8 friends to accompany her to Skirmish for her birthday. From first arriving, meeting Karen, who only said my name twice in 3 minutes… Yet remembered my name and checked in with me all day!! To the referee assigned to the group –Colin… What a day! The party ranged in age from 15- 21. They all had a blast. It was cold! There was some ice…. But not one complaint was heard from them. They are keen to come back and play.  I didn’t know what to expect. As a non-participant (seriously at 44, I cannot go hard like those kids can), I had wonderful conversation, a great bonfire to keep me warm, and the knowledge that the partiers were safe, supervised and enjoying the day. I marveled at how kind and friendly all of the other groups of players were. You have an amazing set up!  The group loved their ref Colin. Thank you for making me the “best mom” with no effort on my part LOL. We will be back!!   – Jessica C

Been paintballing over 100 times. Never had such a great time thanks to our ref Tyler. He was fun, professional, and knowledgeable. Awesome time.  – Ryan J.

I’ve paintballed a bunch of times and been to a few fields but none can or could compare to my experience at Skimish Paintball. This was my first time here surprisingly. It was amazing with all the fields they had to offer, the organized games even with the sheer size of players. Tech area was friendly and helped with everything. The pro shop had everything I needed. And the cherry on top was the amazing Refs we had with Avery and Pocket. They made the experience that much more fun and is what will make me want to come back to Skirmish USA. Thank you for the experience.   – Kevin M

Had the great opportunity to visit your fields on April 6, 2013. I must say that out of all the paintball playing fields I have visited, Skirmish has been the best. Every other field out there has high bar to meet, set by you guys, and that bar is maintained high by your refs. I had a party of a total of 16 members, age ranging from 10yrs old to early 30s. We all had a blast, and the refs made sure that happened. Rob Cunningham and Keenan Morrison were great Refs. They both interacted with each member of my group accordingly and professionally. I admire the fact that Rob and Keenan’s priority was always our safety, especially looking out for the little ones. I couldn’t have asked for more out of these two gentlemen. We are already planning the next adventure in your fields.  – Bernabe D

I don’t know if it can be used but it just came to mind. ADIDAS (All Day I Dream About Skirmish). Which is probably somewhat true. My wife asked me once, if I die do I wanna be cremated, or put in a drawer. I said “if I die, have me cremated, and spread my ashes at the Tippmann Castle.” I don’t think she liked my answer. Anywa,y just wanted to share the Adidas thing.     Thanks Tom

I just wanted to drop a line to you and tell you how awesome of outfit you all have going there. However and more importantly, I wanted to tell you how excellent your employees are at delivering first class customer service.

Some of my work and personal families got together on Sat the 23rd to play. Some of us have extensive experience and some didn’t. Your staff working the check-in and rentals were great. Super friendly and seemed to really enjoy interacting with the customers. But I have to tell you, the referees were TOP NOTCH. Every single one of them that I encountered all day long could not have been more cordial, friendly and helpful.

Customer service is the name of the game at Skirmish and it shows. Because of the way that we were treated yesterday, I am already planning our next visit.

Please keep up the great work.  – Michael K

 

Come play in Skirmish Paintball’s newest scenario by SOV Production!

In 1968, the North Vietnamese launched an all-out blitz against the Americans in the South during the TetOffensive.  In what was to be a temporary cease fire during the Tet Holiday, the Communists used the sounds of celebration to mask their true goal – take control of key installations around Saigon.

Join us at Skirmish and declare your loyalty to either the Communist North or the American-occupied South.  Fight your way through the jungle, take control of the National Radio Station, or defend the US Embassy.  But the enemy won’t make this easy.  Battles for the Tan Son Nhut Air Base and Long Binh Naval HQ are sure to ruin everyone’s day!

Do you and your friends have what it takes to occupy the Independence Palace?  Whether you’re fighting for freedom or struggling to reunite your country, only one thing is certain…you’ll need plenty of balls – paintballs!

Our newest field CARGO by G.I. SPORTZ is NOW OPEN! If you were lucky enough to get an invitation to the grand opening on October 27th all of your photos are up and posted to our Facebook page. It is an amazing field with tons of angles that keep you guessing. It’s also a very up close and personal field. Of the four times I got shot out, two were from close range.   Although we did play a group of 46 with only 13 of us on the VIP side, lol!

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the field is the noise. We knew going into construction that it would be loud but this is pure ridiculousness. When laying a rope down field the reverberations of just my own gun inside the container was crazy. Let alone if someone actually shot at you!

So far my player  tip is this… Bring Ear Plugs. After a few more days of play,  I’ll try to craft a decent strategy for those of you who won’t be joining us until the spring.

Z-Swamp has migrated over the years to slightly less and less swampy terrain  Now a large part of the field is boulders under a pine tree canopy. This map will always have a special place in my heart as it is the second field I ever played way back in 1995 with my dad.

This field is perfect for small campers and no I don’t mean RVs. If your about 12 you fit perfectly into some “fox hole-ish” formations in those boulder and it can be nearly impossible to get someone out if they have managed to perform enough contortions to get in.

What was the first field/map you ever played?

Pentagon or as it is known during the Invasion of Normandy, Paris, is a great structure field. It reminds me of Empire castle before the huge addition and remodel and is great for medium sized groups.  The map is normally played as an attack and defend and I have strategies for both.

If you are Attacking it is imperative that you surround the Pentagon as the 5 big doors give you great shots at the defenders backs but only if you can shoot through them. I suggest a minimal frontal assault team while the majority of your force circles. If done correctly the pentagon is one of the easiest structures to capture. That is unless your opponents have read my defence strategy below.

If you are Defending the Pentagon from some terrorist scum also known as your friends on the other team. The key is to start with the vast majority of your forces on the front wall and up high. if you are high enough and have enough guns you should be able to slow the inevitable circling of the structure. Remember in the imortal words of Stanley ”this is a run out the clock situation”. If you fail at containment your only hope is to stock the center pill box with 5 people one for each door. Once in the pill box if you can handle the heat of being shot at from every side and the reverberating sound each ball makes as it breaks inches from your head you are in fact pretty safe. I have held that box for up to 5 minutes by myself with countless…ok 7…enemies at my gates. Just me and my trusty tippmann 98.

If you have any heroic paintball stories feel free to share below.

Green acres is the place to be do do do… Sorry I”m having nick and nite flash backs. Anyway Green Acres is a nice wooded field between Good luck and Farside. When I sent our photographer out to take the field pics I didn’t realize that he has a tree growth fetish but to each their own. I digress, the field itself is fairly open so if you have an apex barrel I would break it out for this game. I also suggest a more methodical approach to vanquishing your enemies as the openness of the field makes safe advancement hard.

If you know someone with a tree growth fetish call them out in the comments below.

Our 20+ individual buildings offer a huge array of angles and strategy styles to be successful. Get ready for some building to building SWAT team style play. Be careful…the steps to the 2nd story are deadly!

Also the site of our City Nights paintball games.

This ain’t your grandpa’s fox which was a smelly swamp even during drought conditions. No this is the new and improved fox located on the other side of the power lines right next to Thicket. Now, I’m not going to say that there is no swamp… just less of a swamp. Anyway if you want to win and win quick the swamp side is the way to go. Most players care too much about their precious kicks to navigate the morasse which means you can run around the other team and take them from the rear. Just remember no means no…

What is your favorite game to play here?

Central park is a small roughly L shaped field located in the center of Tippmann City, Brookside, and Bobcat. The most interesting feature of this field is the white half oval bunkers. My first time playing on this map I didn’t realize how long the sides on the ovals are and when I ran up to bunker one of our proshop boys and I found out in a hurry that you basically need to be behind them in order to get the shot. Or you could always come over the top to surrender/bunker the opponent. Anyway fortunately for me I’m apparently made of rubber because when he popped up to to shoot me everything bounced and I still made my bunker. However, I did notice that the next time I needed a new Skirmish hoodie from the proshop the price seemed to have gone up…hmmm

What’s your favorite bunkering story?
