On behalf of all of the staff, Ronn, Connie, Kenny, and myself we want to thank all of the players that attended Battle of the Bulge. It was overwhelming to see so many players at the kick-off game of the R.A.W. Series™. With 200+ players and 2.5 skids of paint being shot you can just imagine all of the fun-filled action that took place today. We have listened to a couple suggestions that were made today and I personally resolve to implement them by the time we play Chosin Resevoir on Feb.24th. There will be 2 separate registration lines. It will pay for all of you to pre-register so as to avoid a long line. Thanks for your understanding today and know it won't happen again. We want to thank our Generals - Tater & Devastator for a hard fought game. Congrats to Tater on his win for the Germans. Also thanks to OMM and SaD for their certificates of achievement. Also to the others who won MVT, MVP, Best Ref, and Sportsmanship - you are all winners in our book. Thanks to those who helped out at the PARK - both player & bystander - you made a tedious job easier... Also to Connie & Maggie for the chow and to the Refs as well. Thanks guys... And finally to Ronn for putting together a GREAT game. From writing it and producing it - what can I say? Another 148 that was great... Thanks my Brother... -Don

Thanks to all of the SplatBrothers staff. The refs made a difficult job look so easy. Once again the people behind the counter at the field store never lost that calm, cool, and COLLECTING composer. No matter how heptic it was whenever I happened to be in there, they were somehow managing to get everyone squared away regardless of what we were after as players. Donn and Ronn....what can I say? The game was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Im glad Anarchy chose SplatBrothers to spend the majority of the 2007 season with. Thank both of you for everything. Thanks to all of the German players who spent time online before the game for the laughs and sportsmanship. A special thanks to ALL of the teams, regardless of what side they threw in with, for coming out and making this game a winner for everyone involved. Thank you to the guy working the air fill station for putting up with me over and over again when my fill nipple went bad, and I kept trying to MAKE it work to get ONE MORE fill before giving up on it, and asking Donn to run to the wharehouse to get me another one (which he promptly DID...thanks, you DA MAN!). My biggest thank you I believe goes out to the guy working the chrono station. It was a L O N G line to get checked, but this guy kept everything moving at a good pace somehow, and everyone got set up in no time at all. Tater and Devistator....both of you deserve thanks for giving up on some good play to command both sides respectivily. We couldnt have done it without your sacrifices. Great job by both of you.
If I missed anyone, please forgive me. I spent ALOT of time wiping German paint off many parts of my body, and took a few head shots as well...so I wasnt exactly all there mentally, lol. I cant wait to see everyone next time at RAW.

BIG THANKS to Ronn and Don and to everyone else who came to the event. You all made it a very fun and challenging game. My guys and I had a great time and some of them gained a very good appreciation for scenario play because of the amount of good sportsmanship, competition, and all around fun. I'm definately making plans to bring my team to another R.A.W. game before we hit up Dark Angel and let loose the cannon!! Thanks again!

Paintball is the best sport in the world, and the people that play are a huge wonderful family. Thank you to every player that attended Bulge; you make the games GREAT! The camaraderie of the players at SplatBrothers makes the events so fun to play and attend!
Thanks to all of the teams that attended. OMM wins the "hardiest group of old farts" award. Thank you for the "sausage and gravy" by the fire. Ahem.
Seek and Destroy decided to attend covertly, and did a great job of increasing the fun for all when their presence was revealed!
Dead by Dawn makes any game they attend, a better event. Coyote, thank you again for all the pre game help. Looking forward to playing under your command in Florida!
OTC led the Germans to victory! And Tater did a FANTASTIC job as General. Thank you! Tater did amazing work with pre-game planning that paid off. Combine that with on-field leadership and Tater makes a formidable General!
Chowda...what can I say? Your pre-game verbal skills are beyond compare, and your on-field & in-staging area leadership was awesome to behold. Thank you thank you!
Anarchy roared into the event! Devastator did an INCREDIBLE job as the Allied Commander. The German Offensive was in full swing as the beginning horn sounded and Devastator never missed a beat as he led his troops into a ferocious firestorm! He never lost his head and his leadership pulled the US forces out of the "surprise" German advantage and into the lead in the middle of the day!
Thank you to Dark Angels, and welcome to the SplatBrothers family! We are thrilled that you are calling SplatBrothers home! (By the way Geoff, sorry for not responding to your email, I didn't get it until this morning!)
The Team Resistance "tsunami" pounded into their opponents again, thank you for great game play.
OFU - WOW! Thank you to the college students that rocked the park! And Frank, great job on creating your launcher! We look forward to the new creations you told us about!
Team MERC! It was great seeing you and "hearing" you all over the park. Thank you Lazarus!
To the many other teams that attended Bulge, thank you for making the game play so exciting and action packed!
I want to second all of Don's 'Thank You's' from above. The SplatBrothers staff poured out 110% of their energy and heart to help produce and make Bulge a great event. I know it got cold, with Maggie's red nose, Kenny’s red ears, Rocky and Travis' cold hands, and Gray's cold voice from "way down at Maze City" as evidence. But the Referees and staff never wavered and you received many compliments from the players on the fine job you did! Thank you! (And thank you to Jeff for the extra effort!)
Connie, I know you had other things to worry about, but you did a Magnificent job in the SnakShak, in the Welcome Center, and in my awesome truck! Thank you Connie for the hot Nachos that helped me keep warm in the Game Command!
Trapper... thank you for staying home and missing this event. We love you and want you to stay in good health! Don and I know it was a difficult decision for you, but the correct one in our book! We look forward to next time!
Iron Man Ian, great job! Thank you for all of your extra effort, and I am sorry to have asked you to run so hard. Thank you again! Gregae and Scuba Dave, congratulations on your Most Valuable Judge awards! You two deserved them, well done! Mitch, thank you for your solid work at the gates. Your presence really helped as the day went on.
Donicus Rex! I know the game plan changed as the day went on, but as usual, you rolled with the punches and proved why you are a true paintball champ! It’s great to work with you my brother!
To everyone; we thank you again for a fun, exciting, explosive, suspenseful, ever-changing, sportsman-like, family-atmosphere-filled great game!
