As part of the Eclipse 20th Anniversary celebrations, we asked the paintball community to nominate their favourite UK and USA based charities so that we could auction two sets of 20th Anniversary Marker sets  in a bid to give something back. Well, the nominated Charities have finally gotten back to us with their preferred method of fundraising and it seems both charities would like us to auction the goods then donate the cash direct to them. Just to re-cap, the chosen charities were ‘Help for Heroes’ in the UK and the the USA charity, USO Wounded Warriors. ‘Help for Heroes’ http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/donations.html "It’s about the 'blokes', our men and women of the Armed Forces. It’s about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it’s about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It’s about Ben, it’s about Steve

With one half the 2012 season over and in the books…it’s time to recap! Game #1 was at Bearclaw Paintball in Fayetteville Tennessee, this MPP produced game is our current annual opener and we love this field and producer. Though we lost we did walk away with a General’s Special Service Award. Now if you haven’t played Bearclaw, you are missing out on one this country’s best paintball fields. So get on out there and have some fun! Game #2 was at Poco Loco paintball outside of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. This event, produced by TSSOC, their only production in 2012, did not let anyone down…the weather was beautiful and the game was balanced. With our sister team Joint Fury and our combined forces known as the ‘Unholy Alliance’, we did all we could in a losing effort. Joint Fury walked away with a MVP award and Pub Crawling left with another MoFo (most formidable opponent) award. This field is also worth playing at least once in anyone’s paintball career. Game #3 was at Paint
