Battleground
"The Ultimate Paintball Challenge" takes place in Croatia.
Close to the villages "Donji Kraljevec" and " Gorican",
100 km Northeast of the Croatian capital Zagreb, lies a
challenging area close to the Hungarian border. There are
alternately ditches, trenches, fields, dirt roads, forests
and rivers etcetera. This rough and woody terrain is
the largest paintball area in the world (24 km2).
Here between the cornfields and forests two teams
(max 25 men/women per team) will try to conquer each
others base camp within 72 hours. Therefore you also
spend two nights on the battleground. Next to the paintball
context there also is a survival element in the competition.

The game.
The Ultimate Paintball Challenge is a battle between
two teams that have to conquer each others base
camp completely. A camp consists of 1 base camp and five mobile patrol tents.
These tents can be moved forward by the participants and serve to spend the night in. The Marshall will pass on the coordinates of the other team. Each team has its own Marshall. With the help of a compass both teams will plan their itinerary. This way both teams will engage on
the battlefield. In case a player is hit, he/she has to temporarily return to his/her base camp.
