At the recent MPL event in Guadalajara which saw nearly 40 teams battle it out in the Mexican heat for podium spots the Eclipse teams dominated through the ranks. With their recent affiliation with the PSP all seems to be going really well down across the border for Jose Luis Daniel Velez and the rest of the MPL organisers.

Will the North rise again??? This weekend the BIGGEST paintball event in the UK calendar is taking place in the midlands. The North vs South Big Game…… The North has been very dominate over the last few years, but something went very wrong last year and the shady drinking Southern fairies managed to pull a win out of the pants…. (Probably just a one off). I’m sure this won’t happen again !!! If you’re making your way down to the North vs South Big game this weekend (30th April to 2nd May) I wanted to let you know about a couple of things you might like. Steve AKA ‘Chuck’ will be in attendance at the event doing Tech Support, so anything you need help or advise on Eclipse come and speak to ‘Chuck’ If you ask him nicely he will even give you some Eclipse Stickers !!! Also, LiPS and Just Paintball will be there with a bunch of Eclipse Gear for sale… Both stores will also have 50 x EMORTAL 2 DVD’s, which your more than welcome to buy @ £5.30 each or you can pick one up FREE OF CHARGE with...

The “187” Crew one of New England’s up and coming teams has just been Eclipsed!! Planet Eclipse are pleased to announce the Upton boys have joined the Eclipse Army and look forward to a great year with them!! upTon 187 cRew has grown from a 3-man rookie team called Kamo Killaz back in the fall of 2004. The team quickly progressed from being a 3-man team to 5-man team and by the end of 2005 was playing 7-man and competing in the NPPL at the Commanders Cup in Miami Florida. In 2006 the team was renamed 187 cRew and in 2007 the team went on to be crowned the Division II NPPL season champions. In 2009 the team entered the AXBL and finished the regular season as the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. The team finished 2nd overall for the AXBL, behind a very strong Philly Heros team. 2010 brings a strong focus on x-ball and the PSP. We will be competing in Division 2 x-ball for the 2010 season and looking to continue our winning ways. If all goes well we’ll be moving up the later in 2...

The Paintball community is a small place and we all need to look out for each other..F%*&£ng scum bags that steal anything deserve to rot in hell, but when they steal Paintball stuff it makes me sick to the core. Last night Dye Europe in the UK was broken into and a bunch of high end gear was stolen... Below is the information that Dye have send to me... Please DO NOT BUY any of this gear if you hear about anything being sold cheap then please contact Dye, or Planet and we will pass on the info.... If we buy this stuff no matter how cheap we just open ourselves up as targets. If these scum bags can steal and sell anything they will.. Let’s make sure they can't sell it !!! Everyone at Planet hopes you catch them !!! LEDZ ............................................................................ Last night Dye precision Ltd’s European Office in Croydon, Surrey was broken into. Most of the goods that were stolen were the NT’s and DM10’s and a few loaders and SLG’s. The police ha...

The Aftermath of Malaga… Well, 2 years in a row the Millennium Series has been cursed with bad weather in Spain. But this year as I’m sure you already know was even worse with the Volcano in Iceland erupting. Must teams managed to make it by hook or by crook with the UK being affected the most, with teams struggling to get over the water and across Europe. A special mention must go out to Disruption for making such a mammoth effort to get to Malaga hiring a mini bus and driving none stop for 27 Hours to get to their games in time. The Millennium series did pretty much everything they could to get the event up and running. I was there on the Monday before the event and at this point there were re-building the beach for the 4th time in 10 days !!! The weather forecast wasn’t the best for the time during the event but you can only hope and pray that nothing else goes wrong.. Right??? Well, the Friday started off OK with a delay in games starting, so the fields could be sorted out. The Mil...

So what do you do if your whole country is 1 million degres below zero and covered in snow and you NEED to play paintball?? Kristine from the Slagen Bandits and an Eclipse Sponsored players lets us know........ If there is no place to play paintball – you just make one! That’s a great spirit and exactly what some of the creative and motivated kids we know, with good help from their mum (Liv), did. It took two Slagen Bandits Jr players, a Vendetta player (another team nearby) and a really committed mum. The kids had only one Christmas wish – some bunkers, some reballs and a place to shoot each other to pieces.( I guess there is no surprise when I tell you that the kids who had the original idea are brothers☺ ) The mum made some calls, rented a sports centre and bought some bunkers and some reballs – you don’t have to make it harder than it is. After the first initiative was taken, the whole Slagen Bandits family pitched in to help. We scrambled together all the leftover bunkers we could...

The CPPS in the Midlands (UK) is growing from strength to strength. Rich who runs the CPPS has now introduced a ‘FUNBALL’ event on the Saturday before the main event on the Sundays. Ainsley Baddeley Captain of the Lucky 15’s entered his ‘Youth’ team into the FUNBALL CPPS event and had this to say: ‘Our suitably named "Lucky under 15s" have been looking for an event to showcase their newly found Supair skills, and the newly created CPPS Funball event was the perfect entry to the tournament scene for them. As the youngest team fielded today, they did us proud and took a solid 2nd place! It was an honour seeing you wearing the jerseys today guys, and you played your hearts out, 15s style!’ As for the Sunday….The event was even better than the last one, more teams, nice weather, no mud and from what I saw great days ballin.. I don’t know the final results but Disruption looked on fire after their very poor show at the first leg. My team ‘The Firm’ won two matches and lost two mat...

There are a lot of teams out there rocking Eclipse gear. From the very top of the pro brackets all the way down the ranks. But each and every victory means as much to Eclipse as it does to the team and players that are involved in the victory... We salute you all.... We just wish a few more of you would spend the time to get let us know about your win... It makes us happy, you do want to make us happy don't you??? One such Victory came via e-mail from team 'Affliction'. They simply wrote a few words and a couple of pictures and here you have it.... Well Done Affliction... Adolfo Estrada told us this: The SCPL event was great. Ever since we started playing all we know was NPPL rules. We never played any PSP formatted event so for us this was a whole new game play with side line coaching and Ramping. We went into this event strong and determined to make a name for ourselves. We had a blast at the event all our friends were there for support. Aaron ran a great event. It was ...

We have waited until AFTER 12:00pmon April 1st (Midday) to announce this so know body thinks it’s an Aprils Fool.. As of Today there is going to be a Pounds Sterling (£) and a Euro (€) price increase due to the continually free falling US Dollar exchange rate. It is almost the same time that we had to implement an ‘exchange rate’ price increase last year… Below is an extract from the OFFICAL Dealer press info… Unfortunately this is virtually the same notice that we sent out the same time last year! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news again! Since the launch of our 2010 product line we have held our Euro and Sterling prices despite the exchange rates slipping against the dollar. Planet Eclipse has tried its best to avoid having to change its pricing over the last 6 months, taking the currency loss and just getting on with the job as best as possible. Unfortunately as the exchange rates are still so volatile we need to make an adjustment to our Euro and Sterling prices to redress this cha...

PUB CRAWLING SIGN UP…AGAIN Planet Eclipse have re-signed Pub Crawling, one of the top Scenario Teams in the country continued their relationship by agreeing to a 2 year contract extension. This will mark a 4th and 5th year partnership. Pub Crawling Captain MJ had this to say about the deal, "We couldn't be happier with the performance of the PE product line, and over the years we've really come to feel like we are a part of the family here...and that is priceless. Finally, let me just make it clear; even without this deal we would still be using PE markers, because they are simply the best available."

For the latest on the team visit www.pubcrawling.org. Ian ‘Jacko’ Parsons from Planet Eclipse wanted to add, “We are pleased...
