KL Bar Paintball Battle

“Shoot the lawyers!!!”, was the battle cry. And boy, did we get shot. The Social and Arts Committee of the KL Bar Committee organised a paintball game at Tanamera, Sg Buloh on 14 June 2008 (Saturday). Everyone met at the Sg Buloh Jejantas Restaurant which was designated as the common meeting point around 9am before making the convoy to Tanamera.Upon arrival, everyone registered themselves to get their paintball gear which included a marker with 500 pellets, and a mask. A protective vest is optional for an extra RM10.00. For those who want a full camouflage outfit, they can rent it for RM5.00.

Now that this place give a good bargain or what?Roll call started at around 10am. We joined the other players and were divided into 2 teams. The first scenario that we entered was the Vietcong Field. This scenario involved a hill and each team was stationed at the top and bottom of the hill. We played an elimination round where the objective of the game was to eliminate all the players in the opposite team. The next scenario we entered was Lake Placid. This scenario is set in an oil palm plantation with a small lake in the middle. 4 barrels were placed around the lake. The objective of the game was for each team to grab 2 of its designated barrels and bring it back to base. We broke for lunch around 2pm. Lunch was Nasi Goreng Ayam provided by Tanamera’s caterers.After some rest, we began the afternoon session with the Kill House scenario.

A small hut is located in the middle of the jungle. 8 people were picked, and 6 were placed in the hut, while the other 2 were placed outside. The objective of the game was for the rest of the players to get 2 players to touch the house in order to win the game. Sounds simple? Not when the 2 players guarding the house outside happened to be good snipers, and in full camo gear.The last scenario that we played was the Killing Field. Set slightly further away from Lake Placid, again teams played in an oil palm plantation. Each team was placed at opposite end of the field, with the oil palm trees and several old tyres for covers.

Like the Vietcong Field that we played earlier, it was an elimination round until the last man standing. We finished the game at around 430pm. Suffice to say, most of us came out unscratched. We were exhausted, but happy at the same time because we had so much fun.
