Meet the Generals

Over the years we have had some incredible Big Games - the commitment, style, personality, and leadership ability of some great Generals have played a major part in making the games successful. It is not an easy task, with so many players on each side and such a massive game zone,  just keeping abreast of whats going on throughout the day is no easy feat.

In 2011 we had two guys who totally immersed themselves in the role, and went above and beyond to make the game a success and an unforgettable experience for the players on both sides.

We are delighted to have them both back to lead the North & South in a



In 2011 General Jamie Powell led The South through a game which seen them dominate most of the game zone for most of the day. They secured most of the objectives and controlled most Field Hospital respawn points. EVERYONE thought Jamie, aided by his Apocalypse Team Captains, had led The South to victory !

But in a shock result, after the eliminations count was added General Dave "Taz" Bradley had actually led The North to the win with a huge bodycount advantage which overhauled the extra objectives points gained by the South. Taz, his Tazball Squad and The North  enjoyed a glorious victory.

This year they are both BACK - Taz to prove last years win for The North was no fluke! and Jamie on a mission to take the title he feels should rightfully have gone to The South.

We hope you will join us in wishing good luck to both Generals, and thanking them for their commitment to, and enthusiasm for, the job ahead.

Profile:

Dave aka Taz, has played and run sites professionally now for over 27 years.

He has a wealth of knowledge and experience from all over the world, mainly the UK, America and Thailand.

He is an old school 'baller who played for the likes of "Swamp terrorists", "Cobra 1", "Cobra2" and has marshaled and played at some of the west Midlands big woodsball tournaments. Including Paintball Park, Kidderminster and Mayhem. Then over to Pattaya, Thailand and Long Island South and West, New York..

He eventually set up his own site in 2005 which now boasts an unrivaled 15 paintball fields and 4 lazer combat fields making Tazball the biggest and most popular scenario paintball arena in the Highlands..... with great monthly walk-on days and regular big scenario games. In 2011 Taz added the excellent PROZONE Paintball site in Annan SW Scotland to his business - a second great place to go and play some brilliant scenario games.

Taz can regularly be seen on the field firing off copious amounts of paint and geeing up his team members aiming for victory....

Style:

Taz loves a good firefight and in 2011 he led the North from the front to a great win. Even as much of his command & control crumbled Taz was able to drive forward enough players to completely outscore The South on bodycount - Will he do the same in 2012 ?

If you are a gang/team/squad of 10 or more North players who want to play a key role in North V South VIGILANTE, Taz wants to hear from you.

Profile:

Jamie has been an active paintball player since the late 80s. From the early days of splatmaster tournaments, through the growth of sup air and now running one of the UKs most successful Scenario Teams.  

 

Back in 1999 he was a founder member of Apocalypse whos team philosophy is "No cheating" "Have fun" and "Get drunk".- 12 years on the team is still sticking to the rules and is possibly the largest and longest running team in the UK at over 120 players strong!

 

Check out the link to the team forum below if you want to find out more.

 

The Apoc mentality is geared strongly to getting everyone involved and having a laugh with the people you know and the ones you dont. Jamie runs Apocalypse Paintball Ltd in Cambridge and runs regular fantastic club level events which are always a great day with a brilliant fun vibe. If your looking for somewhere to play in Cambridgeshire, talk to APOC ! 

 

Style:

 

In 2011 Jamie was incredibly organised. He is a great tactician and it was apparent he had the best handle on the game objectives - however A single decision to remove some objectives from play (to stifle The North scoring) may have cost him the game. Had the objesctives been kept in play, and scored for The South the points would likely have made up the eventual shortfall in bodycount - he is absolutely determined to put things right in 2012 !
