Skirmish's "Invasion of Normandy" breaks records
Skirmish USA’s now-legendary DraXxuS “Invasion of Normandy™” scenario game set a new world attendance record for most participants at a single paintball game, as 4,007 players converged on the Pocono Mountains to “storm the beaches of Normandy” and enjoy a remarkable and memorable weekend of Scenario Paintball, contests, role-playing, camping and special shopping deals from dozens of vendors.
Two truckloads of DraXxuS Midnight™ paintballs were shot back and forth between Allied and German forces on hundreds of acres of pristine paintball landscape provided by Skirmish USA, one of the oldest and most respected playing fields in the world.

Tanks of all types roved back and forth across the battlefield, including the popular Paintball Sports Magazine tank, operated by Editors Dawn and TJ Allcott, wreaking havoc and pushing the lines of battle to and fro while thousands of players duked it out amongst the rhododendrons at the home of the world-famous Tippmann Castle.
