October 2025 date coming soon...
TBD after ION
The Battle for Britain or The Battle for Berlin is the last game in our yearly, three-game WWII paintball scenario game series. The winning team of our Invasion of Normandy paintball scenario game in July will determine which game is played. If the German War Machine wins ION, The Battle for Britain will be played. If the Allied Forces win The Invasion, we play The Battle for Berlin. You will generally find around 1,000 players on the fields during this paintball grudge match. The Germans won ION so you will Battle for Britain in 2024!
