Storyline
Violence Between Drug Cartels and Mexican Army Increasing
(Left) Narcotics checkpoint (AP). (Middle) Clandestine Marijuana field (UPI). (Right) Search and destroy operations (AHN).
Violence between rival drug cartels and the Mexican Army in the southern state of Veracruz has exploded yesterday following a car-bomb that was detonated outside a crowded shopping plaza in the regional capital of Xalapa. The car-bomb, thought to be hidden inside the trunk of a parked car was detonated just after noon local time, during their peak hours of operation. The Mexican drug cartel ‘Los Zetas’ has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Later that evening, several rural vehicle checkpoints operated by the Mexican Army came under intense small arms and rocket fire. The Mexican Army has not commented on the number of dead or wounded from the checkpoint attacks. The Sinaloa Cartel has claimed responsibility for the rural attacks.
Since the Mexican War on drugs began in December of 2006, more than 70,000 lives have been lost on all sides. Officially, the Mexican government has stopped recording the numbers of dead relating to the war on drugs in 2011.

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.
