Euro BigGame, May 10-13
Picture this: You’re in Mahlwinkel, Germany, camped
out on a former Soviet Union airport used to refuel
Soviet strategic bombers utilized to blast western
cities and supply their troops with everything they
needed to keep them marching. Tanks, artillery and
the bad-ass attack helicopter Mil Mi-24 (known from
Rambo III) were based here. As you walk around the
airstrips you see the multi-level housing projects,
office building and other structures, all in various
stages of deconstruction. You look around and see
2,000-plus people ready to do battle for four days.
This is the Euro BigGame. This is one of the most
amazing games, set on the most amazing backdrop
and this is why you need to play this game at least
once in your lifetime. And when you can find a few
hours you may want to take a ride or even drive a
real former battle-tested Soviet tank yourself. And
if none of this sounds amazing (why?) you may also
want to know that this game has been running
annually for 20 years and in addition to the great
paintball play, there’s great camping (with showers,
restrooms), a shuttle to move players about the
property, there’s live music, a ton of parties and a
great trade show. www.EuroBigGame.tv
