You can do one based on the novel I'm writing. Divided We Fall - based on a futuristic attempt of the South trying to secede from the nation again.

[MondoMor]

Most of the names I come up with are stupid (see: "MondoMor"), but here's a few:

"Plowshares to Swords" or "Swords from Plowshares"
"Operation: Metal Fatigue"
"Ghost Woods"
"Communication Breakdown"
"How the West was Won"
"Warday" (Just finished the book)
"Payback"
"Tag"
"Recoil"
"Tower of Babel"

[Erndogg]

"Remember the Alamo" have a huge scenario based around the castle/structure.

[Mustangman]

badger, don't you need to actually be from Dixie to write about secession?:D ( i grew up in GA)

[Badger]

"Plowshares to Swords" or "Swords from Plowshares" - A militant army force comes in to invade a peaceful village for their crops. Hide vials of corn seed out on the field to be picked up for points.

"Operation: Metal Fatigue" - Find objects on the field that need to be put together to create a "weapon" used to decrease the metal strength of opposing side's markers and/or tanks.

"Ghost Woods" - One side is on maneuvers who discover a ghost army. (work in progress...)

"Communication Breakdown" - A long rope goes from one side of the field to the other, but it's cut somewhere in the middle. One side has to reconnect it in order to use radios on the field. The other side needs to stop their attempt.

"How the West was Won" - A battle between two sides with no reinsertions. The last person on each side is then selected to do a showdown with pistols for all to watch.

"Warday" (Just finished the book) - didn't read the book. Help on this?

"Payback" - One side needs to find money bricks out on the field to total $70,000.

"Tag" - Once you're hit, you reinsert on the other team.

"Recoil" - Each side needs to send their best sniper across the field to eliminate the other general.

"Tower of Babel" - a big attack/defend of the Warfare base.


Just some game ideas around MondoMor's game name ideas. beret:)

[Thalion]

Just throwing more ideas out there.

"Red Dawn" - America has not been invaded in this century... until now. As the Russians secure the Rocky Mountains they have recently captured, a group of American citizens, unaided, will attempt a rebellion. Players will attempt to "sabotage" props or "destroy convoys," while the Russians must protect their assets in the area. The Russians will be given three or four possible "targets" they must keep secure, while the American resistance is informed they must destroy/sabotage a specific one. The Russians will have a manpower advantage, but be unaware of where it needs to be placed.

"Coming Apocalypse" / "Coming Armageddon"

"Fortune Favors the Bold"

"Cry Havoc"

"Dogs of War"

"Battle of Bastogne" ("Nuts!" anyone?)

"Operation: Jericho" (referring to the show, Jericho) - In a post-nuclear terrorist attack world, two small towns in northwest Kansas are turned against each other in a battle for survival. Players will compete for resources (scenario props?)

Edit: Adding a new one, as well as a gameplay rough idea to some of these -

"One Nation: Earth" - As world powers plan to transform the UN a worldwide government, a few nations will stand up for their rights to independent freedom. (UN vs US? UN vs China? Choose a superpower or an alliance of smaller powers to fight the UN)

I realize I didn't leave ideas for all of them, and some of these names are pretty generic in application.

[MondoMor]

I like your ideas, Badger. I was mostly thinking of cool names, but your "Communication Breakdown" idea sounds like a blast!


"Warday" (Just finished the book) - didn't read the book. Help on this?

A limited nuclear exchange between the Soviets and the U.S. leaves both countries in complete disarray; both sides explode a chain of nukes in the upper atmosphere over the other country and the nationwide Electromagnetic Pulse knocks out even the most hardened military electronics of both countries. Though only a handful of American and Soviet cities are destroyed, the fallout, panic, disease and famine that follow decimate the nations. The economies of both nations evaporate (no computers, so no modern banking), knocking the U.S. back to where it was (in population and technology) in the 1800s.

The damage is mostly limited to the United States and USSR, and the rest of the world (especially Japan and the U.K.) steps in to "help", while taking the opportunity to keep the United States from ever becoming a competitive industrial power again.

It was written in '84, and set in 1987-1993. It seems pretty well researched.


Another idea from a book is "Lucifer's Hammer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer%27s_Hammer)", a science fiction novel about the results of a meteor strike that devastates the world. There's a few neat subplots, like the small group that huddles around a California nuclear power plant to defend it from marauding cannibals, and a small ranch run by a Senator that has to keep refugees away to support its fragile self-sufficient existence. There's an homage to "The Postman" in there, too.

A stripped-down version might make a decent scenario. :)

[Badger]

Just throwing more ideas out there.

"Red Dawn"

"Battle of Bastogne" ("Nuts!" anyone?)

I realize I didn't leave ideas for all of them, and some of these names are pretty generic in application.

If Darrin does a Red Dawn scenario, he can look at a possible lawsuit from DeWayne Convirs of Oklahoma D-Day fame. DeWayne actually went as far as copyrighting the names for paintball purposes. Trust me on this one...

Nuts! refers to the response given by the 101st to the Germans when they asked them to surrender in Bastogne.

And for my game ideas to your titles, I was just bored and creative. beret:)

[EZD]

Yes Badger is right Copyrights and trademarks names I want to stay away from.

This was a very big issue at the Scenario meeting I went to in Atlanta, GA two weeks ago.

I am told you can name a event after a historical event and you shouldn't have a problem. But if you use a book, movie or video game you can run into big problems. It also depends if you also use the same storyline and so on.

Keep the names coming, I like a few already.

[Thalion]

Apologies, I did not know that Dewayne had copyrighted Red Dawn.

[MondoMor]

All is not lost. Instead of naming it "Red Dawn", name it "Cease and Desist". :P

[Badger]

Auburn Morning? beret:)

[badmoon]

anouther zombie game i loved resident evil

[Darrin]

We will be doing that again this year. Not shure if it will be a Month end Jungle Rumble or the Fall Gaint Game.

[AKA]

WoW! You guys are Good! So what do you all do for Fun?:D/AKA

[Badger]

WoW! You guys are Good! So what do you all do for Fun?:D/AKA

I think up crazy scenario games, prop innovations, character roles, and other mayhem by watching war/sci-fi/action movies and getting fancy ideas. beret:)

[badmoon]

theirs a movie in the works for world war z its a book about an look back on the goings on of the zombie Apocalypse. could be a cool tie in. i think the halloween game should be world war z

[badmoon]

like the presideent game have one man out in the feild(the spy behind enamy lines. have to find and or escort the spy back to the base 2 teams. americans and russians. russians own the whole feild except one base american reinsertion point. the mission to evac the solder back to the american base. got the idea from a show on the millitary channel.could be cool

[badmoon]

You can do one based on the novel I'm writing. Divided We Fall - based on a futuristic attempt of the South trying to secede from the nation again.

i really like this idea alot. grey verses blue. could be very cool. the south will rise again! lol

[FaTaLMiZtAkE]

What about one based on the movie "traffic" or "behind enemy lines" I have a few more but I'll post'em later cause my brain is mush this early.....:rolleye0018:
need coffe....lol

[Krutsie]

I was thinking "Behind enemy lines" myself. Have the downed pilot positioned with only a pt extreme and a walkie talkie or some kind of tracking device. Using the elements he needs to hide untill he is resqued. If cought,he is held till he is rescued
what made me think of this Scenario is a f4 Jet Shell I saw allong interstate 90 between Austin ,Mn and Rochester. some old timer has it sitting beside his barn.. You should buy it Darrin.LOL

[Thalion]

Since there's been talk of how military situations/historical references are "fair play," we could do a Mogadishu scenario and not call it "Black Hawk Down."

3-man team is "down" (the 2 marksman and the pilot) somewhere, they have to get to a certain destination. The other American forces start at the destination and should help them, as they will otherwise be overwhelmed quickly by the Somalians.

The Americans win if they can get any of the three players safely to the destination. The Somalians win if they can eliminate all three survivors. These 3 key players could be identified by giving them an extra armband (and thus would have their team color on both arms).

As for a title, we could call it "Streets of Mogadishu" or something else to avoid "Black Hawk Down."


EDIT: Added content

Here's some other ideas that came to me while at work (posting currently @ work)

"Ho Chi Minh Trail" - Vietcong and American forces. The Vietcong are given a supplies package and must deliver it to a predetermined location on the field. The Americans must intercept the package and deliver it to their own base.

"Intifadah" / "Jihad" / "Insurgency" (take your pick, or use the idea with a different name. These three ideas are just that, ideas) - Terrorists and Americans. The terrorists are given a bomb (ammo crate?) they must deliver to a given location (either the American base or another, neutral location in the field). The Americans need to capture and disarm this bomb to win. To disarm, have 1-3 players (depending on team sizes) be "bomb specialists." These specialists are the only ones who can disarm the bomb. They do so by being in possession of it and by yelling "all clear" (or some other quick task). Specialists are predetermined before the game and have some form of extra tape IDing them as such.

Just throwing in some more ideas.

[Thalion]

Sorry for the double post, just had a few more ideas come up while I'm at work.

"Hostage" - One team has one or two "hostages" that the other team must rescue. To succeed, the hostage(s) must be safely returned to the rescuing team's insertion point.

Hostage takers may not shoot the hostage unless the hostage has attempted escape / has been freed by the rescuing team. Hostages are "freed" whenever they attempt to escape. Players need not contact the hostage, but once the hostage runs, they can be shot. Lastly, hostages can be "moved" by being directed by the hostage takers while they are still in control of the hostage.

Rescuing team wins if the hostage gets to the rescuing team's insertion point, while the hostage takers win if the hostage is shot or has not arrived to the insertion point when time is called.


"North Hollywood Shootout" - Teams represent LAPD and the criminals attempting the bank robbery. Criminals must acquire the money prop (bag of money or canister of some sort) and return it to their insertion area. LAPD must keep the criminal team from getting the money prop to the insertion point. LAPD wins when the time is called and the money prop has not made it to the criminal insertion area.

For another possible addition, 4-6 members of the LAPD team are "SWAT" and instead of starting at the LAPD insertion point, they may insert somewhere midfield, but not in the vicinity of the criminal insertion area or the money prop.

That covers my Cops and Robbers idea...

[Thalion]

I'll be honest, I really haven't read too many of the replies. Apologies if I repeated anyone with ideas.

[Darrin]

I do not want any more comment about the South. That storyline is offensive.

I do like some of the other story and themes.

[stapes]

7 names huh...
Bashful
Doc
Dopey
Grumpy
Happy
Sleepy
Sneezy

But the first game in March would be "Snow White"

laugh:)

[Mustangman]

why is it offensive Darrin? I am from GA and i find it humorous. i'd even volunteer to General the Confederacy if you wanted to run a Blue/Gray game. in all honesty though, it would be best played as a pump game.

[Badger]

I only mentioned a North/South game simply because it's the premise of my novel. It has nothing to do with racism, slavery, etc. If it DOES insult anyone, I apologize. That was never my intent. :scared0012:

[Vander]

As a futuristic based Novel, the resurrection of the Confederacy is a very interesting idea; I personally would love to read it.

I think Darrin's concern is how a Paintball Game is an interaction between players... HUNDREDS of players. A North/South theme may seem "unwelcoming" to some, you know? A book is presented more as an idea from the author to the reader. The message conveyed in a book is more private and personal; open for interpretation... "One-way communication".

But, I don't want to speak for Darrin.... just thinking out loud.

I would like a copy of that book, Badger... let me know when your done.

focus:) ... I drifted.
SERE School
What about opening a SERE school, Darrin? A popular class in the military that teaches survival strategies as a P.O.W. Search, Evade, Rescue, Escape...

2 teams...

A group of "downed pilots"
A group of "instructors"

Let me know if you like it, and I can develop the game fer you.

[Podoz1]

I'm working on mine its based of the Will Smith movie "Independence day" and I just need to knock in the kinks.

[Thalion]

Good, but you'll have to make it original enough that nobody would notice film copying. As stated earlier in this thread, scenarios based off films are problematic at best.

[Podoz1]

Yes I've had to think about tradmarks and copy rights. I've keep the basic stroy line (Aliens vs. Humans). One thing i have changed is that the Aliens have a chance to win. I'll post the story line once I type the rest up. I've have it written down on paper.

[Podoz1]

I have posted a rough draft of my Independence day scenario. (renamed :Strunbar Scenario)

[Darrin]

Since the April Jungle Rumble falls on Easter (April 27) Should I make it a Easter game call "Easter Bunny Hunt"

Or since most people do not know its Orthodocs EASTER should I go with a cooler name?

[Rogue]

UNorthodox Easter Bunny Hunt? :scared0012:

[Goat]

Operation Rabbit laughing:)

[Darrin]

Great job on all the ideas!

Divided We Fall
Payback
Cry Havoc
One Nation
Residents Evil
War Of Gods
Fair Play
Alamo
Blood Bath

These are some of the names in the top running.

A few more may be added.

[Darrin]

What about "Operation ***** Slap" ?

Would that offend parents or anyone?

[Darrin]

Well I guess it would if the forum want even let me post it :)

Start with a B and ends with a Slap :)

[Podoz1]

I think that most parents that have "controll" over their kids and care about Easter won't let then play paintball on Easter.

[Thalion]

It's not the Easter people will be celebrating though. That's this Sunday.

[Podoz1]

ok i guess easter is a litte early or I'm just totally blind and can't read.

[Delta Echo]

How about resurrecting the "Wild Safari" from last year w/ all the stuffed animals?
That was fun.

[Thalion]

Wasn't that two years ago? (2006 season)

[Delta Echo]

year ago, two years ago... it all blends together after a while.

[Podoz1]

so ture ^^

Yea that was Fun. It definately got people to get out and run around looking for stuff, either to shoot someone, get shot, or find a cute little animal to carry back to the pen. Good time!:D/AKA

[EZD]

April 27 Jungle Rumble #2 will be "Operation B**ch Slap"
The Scenario will be base on a Beach Invasion.

May 25 Jungle Rumble #3 will be "VE DAY"
Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) was the day when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany.
The scnenario will be base on a battle that took place on VE Day.

Columbian Heat
After failed diplomacy with Columbia; Venezuelan forces have been given the green-light to invade with only one thing in mind. Conquest. Being vital trade partners with Columbia; the U.S. has been sanctioned to assist Columbia in a joint effort to repel the Venezuelan invaders. Battles over strategic points on the field rage; as the Venezuelans fight to capture objectives that will topple the morale of Columbian forces. Rumor has also spread that a rogue element -- an unknown mercenary force of about 20 has set up basecamp in the jungles of Columbia.. available to the team that approaches them and offers them a certain amount of money [Darin Dollars or whatnot]. The Venezuelan objective is to capture the various strongholds on the field; while the U.S.-Columbian coalition will fight to maintain those vital bases. Other variables -- such as resources like Coffee could be placed strategically around the field and would be exchangeable for a preset amount of Darin Dollars.
