This is the view of the Blockhouse as you walked to the hilltop from the bivouac.

From the crest of the hill you could long ball the house.

This is from the rock outcropping, you can see a player between the rocks if you have "the eye."

The old blockhouse wasn't good for anything but paintball.

Here are some defenders in the only dry place on the field. This was a real "Alamo" type game with the defenders always under fire.

Predator and an Associate player wait for the attack. Shooting out from the house was not easy when the opposition put a lot of area fire on it.

This ditch was used to get close enough to put in some support fire or launch an attack. But only when there was no water in it.

From the far side of the field, you can see the backside of the blockhouse and the rock outcroppings in the background.

There was some cover in the trees but not much. Here Sandman makes his move.

The rain was bad, but the games were good. Read the stoty.
