By Jason “foolybear” Lineberger Pictures by Brett Weaver of PB Uprising  ( www.pbuprising.com ) A rolling cloud of orange smoke obscured the Blue team’s approach.  At least two dozen players, guns up and blazing, drove headlong through the woods hell-bent on reaching the midpoint tower.  Others crawled through the thicker woods along the tapeline, and a flanking force swung wide to provide supporting fire from the field’s center.  As the first Blue runner reached the tower steps, a withering barrage of fire sent him and most of the ones behind him walking for the deadzone.  As the Blue covering fire began to take its toll on the Red defenders, a few Blue runners gained the upper platform and flipped the colors of the building.  Still more dove into the creek bed near the tower and used the cover to gain devastating angles on the entrenched Red shooters.  Within minutes, the tide of the game turned as Blue scored the most valuable piece of real estate on the field.

In the never ending quest to spread Eclipse knowledge around the World, Robert has just returned from our first ever dealer Tech Course in Lviv , Ukraine…. Now Lviv isn’t the easiest place to visit from the UK and needed 4 flights and some pretty tight connection times, and sods law says that a 20 minute delay here leads to missing a flight there and a nightmare. Luckily after an extra nights layover in Kiev, Robert finally managed to get to Lviv on the morning of the class… some would say perfect timing :-) Victor from Triada had gathered dealers from all over the Ukraine to participate in this Pro-Tech-Tour class. The tech course was covering all the latest products from Planet Eclipse . Each participant had a chance to learn about the Geo2 , Ego11 and Etek3 markers, maintenance and troubleshooting was followed by a written test… The next day was the 4th leg of the Ukrainian Paintball Championship organized by Triada Paintball in which 35 teams took part in three divi

 Over the last season, team 'Madrid Nightmares' have been playing the EXPL X-ball tournament, which includes many of the best teams in Spain. It is considered by the players as the ultimate Spanish league and the most important tournament in the country. The Tournament is comprised of four events, all played in Madrid at Adrenalicia’s paintball field. The last tournament was played on Sunday 11th September. The leading two top teams in the series were 'Triballs' and Madrid  Nightmares, with just two points difference between them. With five players, and two guys for pit crew Madrid Nightmare were not making it easy for themselves to secure the title..... After the dust had settled on the days play the Finals were between Madrid Nightmares, Triballs and Maniacs. Madrid Nightmares played two race to 3 x-ball matches against 'Triballs' and two race to 3 x-ball matches against team 'Maniacs' (another Eclipse sponsored team). Madrid Nightmares w

http://slagenbandits.net/site/ Slagen Bandits wins the Norwegian series title! Last weekend the Slagen Bandits geared up for the last round of the Norwegian Paintball league held at Tufte paintball park. Before the tournament Oslo PB Kids, Stavanger Mayhem, Drammen Sabotage and Slagen Bandits were almost tied on points for the series title. That meant that the winner of this tournament would probably end up with the series title aswell. After starting our season with a win, we were eager to end the season in the NPL on top of the podium once again, before we start preparing for the biggest tournament in Norway: the Norwegian Championship. This time around we were prepared for fight all the way to the top, as this season has been one of the thoughest in the history of the NPL, as every team this year has been a contender. There are no pushover team in the Elite division anymore. And we thrive on this competion as it has made us practice harder! We arrived at the sunny field early, it

Over the last few years Paintball has popped up in all kinds of different places. The magical TV deals have ‘Nearly’ happened but then seem to vanish as quickly as they come along. But we now see Paintball on TV quite often from reality TV shows, TV Adverts or Soaps. It’s always a fine line that we have to walk when it comes to every day TV shows. We don’t do a very good job of giving the TV Stars their air time. Let’s face it, it could be ANYONE under those masks and people need to relate to the characters so they are FOREVER taking off their masks, luckily it isn’t as bad as PJ & Duncan losing their sight in a very old episode of Biker Grove. The Cast !!!! Recently Planet Eclipse were contacted by Hollyoaks Later for a ‘Top of the Range, Super Gun’ so we hooked them up with an EGO11 for them to use in a Stag Do Paintball scene for the show. Stoney volunteered to go down to the shoot to hand over the EGO11 as Hollyoaks Later is pretty stacked with lovely ladies and he seemed to th
