The world's largest paintball event takes place over a week in June in Oklahoma at D-Day Adventure Park where 3,500 - 4,000 players gather to re-enact the Battle of Normandy.
Safety paintball supplies like goggles are required for all those on the playing field. However, there is plenty of opportunity for spectators to witness your sniper paintball guns marksmanship in action, and are invited to watch and camp for free. Players can expect to use around a case of paint during the tournament, though should also bring a back-up case to make sure not to run out of paintball supplies.
Units can pre-register, or register as an individual and be assigned to a German or Allied team. Allied teams are further broken up into Commonwealth teams (British and Canadian), German, and French.
Ice and water is available throughout the playing area, although the organizers highly recommend bringing canteens and camelback water carriers.
Night vision goggles are allowed for evening and night tournament play. No full auto or burst settings are allowed on paintball guns however, so perfect your single-shot and sniper techniques!
2010 D-Day highlights will include a 91st Birthday party for author and four-time combat jump veteran Jake McNiece as well as USO Show.
