Paint

Please respect the fact that it is field paint only for this event. All events take many hours of long painstaking organizing, setting up etc. as you know. We have tried to charge the minimum we can with the experience we are offering. We are also conscious of using paint that we know is not harmful to the paintwork on the tanks & vehicles and respecting those who bring these along.

Registration

All registrations are to be submitted online with full $200 payment (plus any extras where applicable) via Direct Deposit, Credit Card/PayPal, Money Order or Cash to have a place at our D-Day battle. We have already had an overwhelming interest in this day and we have 120 places available. It really is a case of first in best dressed. We will not be holding places. Your place is confirmed when full payment accompanying the online registration form is received.

Teams:

There will be larger teams made up on the day but if you wish to put together a group of 5 then please indicate these members to us on your entry form. We will endeavor to keep your group together where possible within a larger team on the day, but at least you will be with some of your comrades!!
