Allied forces attempted to repeat history as they stormed
the shores of Normandy. This time the invasion wasn't in
France, but on Prince Edward Island, Canada.
The
Tippinators along with hundreds of other players reenacted the Invasion
of Normandy, the theme for the second annual PEI Big Game held
at Spikes Paintball, in York, Prince Edward Island on August
31st.

AXBL Season Ends on High Note
The 2008 AXBL season has draw to a close after the final
event held on August 17 at Atlantic Xtreme Paintball in
Memramcook NB. The last event was the toughest for the
Tippinators, scheduled to play the second place Waterloo ASA and first
place Scotia Shock in their final two matches.
Heading into the final day of competition the Tipps were two points out of second place and poised to finish the season on the podium. A win against ASA and close game against Shock would vault the team into contention.

An Old Timer Speaks
An Old Timer Speaks
By David Muhlestein, About.com
I recently wondered where the old timers have gone. Some responded. With permission, here is what Bruce 'Charon' Johnston wrote:
I started the game back in the late 80's just after high school. The game was in its infancy back then, and 12 gram, CO2, Splatmasters was the marker of choice. As I recall paintballs were outrageously priced compared to today, somewhere in the area of $.20 - $.25 per ball. Since paintball was a fringe extreme sport at the time, very few people played the game. We were lucky if we had 10 guys out on any given day.

Tippinators Continue AWL Success at Event #2
Once more into the breech, as the best woodsball teams in
Eastern Canada again clashed at the Atlantic Woodsball League
(AWL) event 2 on August 9th.
The Tippinators showed up in strength, determined to continue the defense of their 2007 title, against five other teams, ready and eager to dislodge the champs and create their own piece of woodsball history.
