WW2, June, 1944 and the largest amphibious invasion in war-time history begins.
Known as the D-Day Landing, the liberation of western Europe begins right here on the beaches of France as over 130,000 allied troops swarm the beach heads. This number will grow to over 1 million soldiers and in a few short months the axis forces will be pushed out and defeated in one of the most well known and prominent campaigns of this or any other war.
You, and your platoon of US Marines are among the first ashore for the D-Day landing and made it to the beach head. You then moved on to a rendezvous a few short kilometres inland. Establishing a safe zone around the beach landings is vital for the initial stages of the invasion. The Enemy forces are dug in and waiting. It’s your mission to clear the area of enemy troops and take command of this critical location in order to establish a base.

Bucks days at Delta Force Paintball
A bucks day he’ll never forget.
It’s almost your mate’s special day.
He’s gonna tie the knot soon.
Delta Force Paintball
And you’re the man who is meant to plan the best send off possible.
What better way to send your stag off than to dress him up and send him out with a paintball gun and a few of his best mates?
Paintball is the perfect activity to get the boys geared up for a night of dubious choices and some stories you’d rather forget.
Here’s how a session at Delta Force Paintball looks for a bucks party.
You can book by calling one of our event coordinators at any time of the session. They are available and will help you plan everything to give your stag the best send off possible.
On the session you’ll arrive and get kitted up by our marshals. Here’s the chance to get you stag all dressed up in one of our Onesies, or you could all wear your own costumes. We recommend you all buy a group pack (you don’t want to run out of paintballs when the stag is on the loose!). Don’t forget to let the marshals know who the guest of honour is; they’ll give him some special treatment!
From here you’ll have a safety briefing, and then it’s time for battle!
Of course you’ll have breaks in between games, where you can rehydrate (sorry, no alcohol), and refuel for the next match. You can order pizzas for the group for lunch, or bring your own food. We recommend bringing plenty of water; you don’t want the stag getting dehydrated!
Your action packed session will see your squad battle it out in pyramids, black hawk helicopters and sniper towers, and will be a session the stag will never forget.
Paintball is the new crossfit
When you think of paintball the majority of people think about being shot at, the bruises, and the cool overalls you get to wear.
For one, you can totally avoid bruises by wearing combat suits and some protective layers. And honestly, shooting a paintball marker at your friends is way more fun than anyone lets on.
We’ve uncovered a few reasons for everyone to give paintball a go, especially if they are looking for an active day out.
It gets the heart pumping. If you haven’t already had a peek at the article written by our friends over at health fitness revolution, have a gander here <insert link>. Paintball is definitely a cardio workout that will see your heart rate rise in no time at all!
It gets the brain cogs turning. Paintball is more than just running around, shooting enemies. It’s a strategic game that requires a solid game strategy to win. We like to think of it as extreme chess; you just gotta get one player out at a time.
Exercise boosts endorphins. This is a well known fact, and is one of the many reasons people love playing paintball. You get the heart pumping, releasing all those happy hormones. Happy hormones, combined with playing with a group of mates, and you’re in for a fantastic time.
Want #gains? Try paintball. It is a game that requires strength just as much as it does cardio fitness. All the squatting, lunging and army crawling can lead to some serious muscle, all in the name of fun!
Is there anything better than hanging out with your friends? Let alone being able to hang out at a place where you can run around cool props and pretend like you’re the warriors you wanted to be when you were kids. Being able to spend time with your friends is key to happiness, and paintball provides to perfect opportunity to hang out with those you love (and shoot at those you love a little less).
At Delta Force Paintball you can play all day with your friends. Try dressing up or coming out for a birthday party, you’ll be surprised at how much fun you’ll have.

Marker
This is the safe term for paintball gun. These bad boys will spray a shower of paintballs all over your enemy!

Custom built, waist mounted paintball carrier. These packs can fit up to four ‘pods’ which carry 100 paintballs each, enabling the
warrior to carry an extra 400 paintballs into battle.
Combat suit
These beautiful pieces of clothing are a bit like
padded overalls, and will protect paintball warriors from the impact of the paintball bullets.

This is where the battles take place. Each zone will have a different game scenario and theme, and can include some awesome props including double decker buses, fortresses and pyramids.
Bunker
A place, object or embankment on the field that players use for cover. Examples include artificial gravestones, steel barrels or even London buses!
