#5 I'm going to my first scenario game with TANGO, what should I bring?
- Sportsmanship (this is the most important thing - TANGO is stand up paintball).
- Everything you own (hate to want something and realize it is at home).
- Working marker, air tank, hopper and mask, plus if you are like a lot of us, backups for all these same items.
- No paint (it is field paint only). You will likely use a case of paint, that goes for around $70 per case. Bring cash for paint and air fills. If you are trigger happy like I tend to be, then you might get into a second case. You choose how often/how much to shoot
- We'll be sleeping in tents (some people sleep in their car). Bring your sleeping bag and teddy bear for warmth and comfort.
- Flashlights (small one for in your pocket to find your way off the field at night). Feel free to bring big flashlights for playing with (Q-beams are cool), plus any lights you want for just around camp at night. We’ll have lanterns too, so if you don’t have anything for camp, don’t worry about it.
- Bring batteries for everything you own that takes batteries.
- I bring 2 sets of cloths to play in (often don’t need it, but just in case) plus something clean to sleep in. Your call on what you choose to bring
- Once at the field, we’ll not likely leave it, so bring stuff to eat and drink. Lots of water is good. To make things simple, we usually go with food that is ready to eat already. Subs, pop tarts, sandwiches, etc. all are good
- A great majority of us run with radios with remote buds for in our ears so that we can banter amongst ourselves throughout the game. We probably should use it for tactics, but mostly we just chatter. I personally have a Motorola TalkAbout 250. These radios operate on the FRS frequencies. If you don’t have one, don’t worry, but they do add to the game. If you choose to get a radio, make sure it not only has the 14 channels, but also has the sub codes, called Interference Eliminator Codes. These radios are available everywhere (places like Best Buy).
- Several people will have some night vision, and if for some strange reason you own some, bring it along. Most of us just wander around at night, but some folks either run with night vision or else go the opposite way, and bring out Q-Beam lights.
- We’ll be playing outside, so have clothing for whatever temperatures/weather might be encountered. Layers is the best way to go. Bug spray is great too.
- Don’t worry if you don’t have something or forget something, as most of us seem to own more than one of everything, so we can help you out.
- Bring a good attitude, superb sportsmanship and have some fun.
