Must have a minimum of 200 Players pre-register to do CASTLE CONQUEST game. Less than 200 players and Saturday will be run as a flag based big game. The CASTLE: CASTLE AAARRGH is the LARGEST, NASTIEST CASTLE that exists in paintball. With over 32,000 square feet of playing area within its walls, CASTLE AAARRGH sports three stories of playing and a full two story 8’ deep rampart completely encircling a courtyard of buildings, towers, and barricades. The corridors below the ramparts are full of staggered walls, windows, and doorways leading into the courtyard. With only 4 openings from the outside into the courtyard and two gang ramps from the back hill onto the upper ramparts, this Castle is a fight to enter from Game On. Facing the Castle Front Wall (Considered WALL 1) is TIPPMANN TOWN, a full size town, complete with two streets and numerous one and two story buildings as well as barricades and walls. This town makes a great defensive area to stall the attackers, but also give the attackers a good base of operations once they clear it out to mount attack after attack on the castle. To the right of the castle is WALL 2 which faces an upward sloping hill with barricades leading up to a tree line on top, from which attackers can rain paint into the courtyard and upper walls. The back wall (WALL 3) is faced with another upward slope that is completely covered with trees and rock outcrops, providing cover to both attackers and defenders. A long wooded slope goes downward from the left wall (WALL 4) that has numerous buildings and natural barricades throughout it and is a point of hard fighting every game.
