What do you get when you mix Mission
Masters’ Scenario games with Sherwood
Forest Paintball? One of the most exciting
paintball events in the game. When you
throw in three fierce commanders it is total
carnage! September 22nd launched Aliens
vs. Predators: Total Carnage at Sherwood
Forest Paintball in Laporte, IN. This third
installment of Mission Masters’ Scenario
Games at Sherwood gave players a unique
experience in field layout, eccentric mission
designs and facing two other teams, both in
equal numbers as your team. The design of
this game and challenges within are pleasant
enough having the normal amount of targets,
double the fun with double the targets!
Mission Masters (MM) is a unique Scenario
game design. Like most mission-based
games you must complete a variety of
challenges to gain points, but the MM team
likes to add a load of twists to that basic
084

platform. They do not run a continuous
game, they run timed missions generally
giving the teams 50 minutes to complete
their complex menu of challenges. After
the time is up teams have 50 minutes to exit
the field, refuel and brief for the next set of
tasks. The benefits of this format is in the
readiness of the teams, as new missions start
every team is locked and loaded. The MM
team also prefers to section off the field. As
in where most games utilize the entire field,
they only use a portion at a time. Although
this seems constricting, it actually makes
for more action packed and consistent
firefights. The heart and soul of a Mission
Masters’ game is in the Missions themselves,
hence the namesake. The complexity of the
tasks, the detail-oriented props and in depth
storyline are what makes these events a true
experience. The MM team truly gives the
players a rare opportunity to Be The Game!
