Storyline
Pakistani Troops Accused of Firing on Indian Civilians

Cross border tensions erupted again today in the disputed territory of Kashmir in central Asia between India and Pakistan in what is becoming a seemingly regular occurrence over the use of water from the Indus River.
Pakistani troops are accused of harassing and firing on civilians gathering water and washing their clothes in the Indus River on the Indian side of the border. Resulting in an unknown number of dead and wounded. In response to the unprovoked attack of civilians, the Indian military has deployed additional troops to their positions along the disputed ‘line of control’.
In an official statement regarding the incident the Pakistani government denies any involvement or wrongdoing regarding the death of Indian civilians in Kashmir. Furthermore, the Pakistani government observing the growing levels of Indian troops near the border has mobilized and deployed forces of their own.
Over the past three years the Indus River has become a serious source of conflict between India, Pakistan, and their larger neighbor China. All three countries use the waterway and its tributaries for a variety of state projects ranging from agriculture to infrastructure. Recently, a combination of a number of large scale hydroelectric dams, increased diversion for agricultural irrigation, and industrial pollution has left the river system more stressed than ever before.

2013 Field Expansion Project
I'm sure everyone noticed the $5.00 price increase this year for the season opener ($20.00 to $25.00). This is to help offset the extremely high price of lumber and the sheer volume of it required to construct anything.
By increasing the price slightly over the course of the entire year we, Armory Airsoft and Hole In The Wall Paintball hope to expand our field and finish long overdue projects.
I won't tell you what we have planned, but I will say this. If we can reach our target of 80 to 100 registered (prepaid) individuals, we should have a completely new village somewhere on the map.
