1. anything i might need to know any tips i could use for playing in the game besides don't get hit.
2. i have a gun tank hopper vest and pods but was wondering if it is possible to just rent a mask from oa.
3. i'm looking to buy 2 cases of paint should i get more or less or what not sure how many i'll go through. buying a tippman 98 custom for the scenario never fired it before but buying from a friend who plays so hopefully it's good not sure how fast i'll be able to fire it or anything.

Re: hey nube here
Welcome to the OA forum rindao . When you say you are a newb, have you ever played paintball before? If not a scenario may be a little overwhelming. Find yourself some experienced players to help you.
Tips for playing the scenario:
1. Get familiar with the general scenario rules. OA goes by these general rules. Not everything you read in the rules will be in play at this scenario but it will give you an idea.
2. Show up as early as you can and get signed in.
3. Get your gear ready. Get your pods filled, your marker chrono'd and everything else ready as soon as you can so you are not rushing around at the last minute.
4. Remember who the field commanders for the side you are playing on are. They will be wearing armband tape. I forget what color. They can help you and give you directions.
5. Don't cheat (not saying you would). If someone has worked hard, climbed over hills and waded thru a creek to get you out, take the walk back to rejuv and give them their moment of glory. Hopefully others will show you the same respect.
6. Listen to the safety briefing. Lee gives it around 9am the morning of the scenario.
I can not think of anything else at the moment.
As for a renting a pair of goggles, I would call the field at 410-437-7492 and talk to Karen. She can help you out.
I would think 2 cases of paint you be enough. That is about how much the average player uses. Make sure to test the 98 Custom you are getting from your friend. I would really suck to get there in the morning only to find out there is a problem with it. Make sure it works a few days before the scenario so just in case you need something you can take care of it and play the scenario.

Re: hey nube here
Since goggles are a very important item to own in paintball games have you thought about buying only 1 case of paint for this game and getting a new pair of goggles instead?
On one case of paint you could still play plenty of paintball just dont longball get up close and make your shots count.

I feel sorry for harp players, because they are always inducing in themselves a sense of nostalgia.

Re: hey nube here
hey thanks for the help. i have played before but like in my backyard and stuff never played a scenario before though. my friend who's selling me the gun will be there playing too so he;s gonna help me he plays on a amateur team doing speedball(the ones with the blow ub thingys). def showing up early hopefully get there at 7 and get a good parking spot. i'm figuring it's liek hunting except that the rabbits i usually hunt will have guns themselves and probably a lot more then a couple shooting at me at one time so yeah real close to it.
but again thanks for all the help and hope to see u out there i'm playing german gotta fight for the fatherland
