Many may know that the OCAA field was recently logged of about 70% of its trees and is in extreme disrepair right now. Well I now have received conformation that the property will not be sold so a rebuild project will begin shortly after the snow breaks. Because the a lot of the trees are now cleared we can now support jeeps and other small off road vehicles as part of gameplay.
Some of the planned renovations is in the works are relocating the HQ's to balance the field, adding 3 new command posts, scrapping two of them and building two villages in some of the bigger clearings. We will also be switching over to a more realistic medic system as we have gotten ahold of over 150 military issue bandages from the Korean War. I understand a lot of our past games were a disappointment to some so we are going to be implementing a few ideas that other groups have been using such as Semi Auto only for all weapons but support weapons for all scenarios and milsims, members of our group who understand all the gameplay rules to lead unless a respected MiA member approaches me wanting a leadership position and a player cap at 60 players. Flooding the field with more than that will make using stealth nearly impossible. The OCAA field and Area 51 paintball are the only fields that do games in Northern Michigan so for the sake of community up here I am going to every effort I can to improve the field. I am also in talks with Adrenaline Rush Paintball in Harrison to get them to start hosting games this year and I will likely be heavily involved in helping them run recreational games.
