I have done my research on some scenario fields and I'll have to admit mine isn't going to be as super as some I have viewed today. Cap posted in another thread as to how a basic field is set up as a triangle all in equal distance and he was of course right as usual. kudos to him. I was never that much informed or familiar with this type of field until I met Cap last year. My field will consist of two "forts" or "bases" and one smaller single advantage bunker. the forts will have, as I mentioned earlier, as single story primary as well as a sniper's tower for one occupant. I'm hoping to get at least one fort and the bunker down by the end of the spring. By the time August comes around I hope to have the other fort done for a small paintball party/BBQ. I will be posting my hand drawn pics up very soon with some dimensions and maybe a few surprises in it as well.

We always brought food up with us and had a fire and cooked lunch/dinner.

This BBQ is more than Burgers and Dogs. We have Lasagna, Hot meatball sandwiches, clams, pulled pork, and a few other things. I'll keep you all informed and you all are invited to it as well.

Cool. I'll spread the word to the non-registered guys, too.
It sounds like you have yourself the start of a scenario field now. The third 'fort' doesn't need to actually be a full on fort like the two bases. It can be a defensible bunker like you're talking about. It just has to be more than a standard bunker. Also, remember that each of the three bases (ie both team forts and your bunker) need to have a flag pole outside them. In scenario that's how you signify that your team has control of a capture objective, by raising your team's flag. You gain points based on how long you hold the objective ie how long your flag is raised.

Will do. They may not be actual poles but there will be a way to signify the control.

It doesn't need to be elaborate at all. It could be something as simple as a broom handle shoved into the ground (and maybe cemented if we're looking for slightly more permanency) and a couple of strips of cloth to tie/untie as your flags. I have plenty of ideas for mini scenarios that would be awesome to run. I wish Lash's was more into the scenario idea but it's amazingly cool that we WILL have a scenario ready field soon. I'm sure we'd all help with the construction to help get it done faster.

How much land do you actually have I.M. Hell, if you have enough, you could build a couple fields and run multiple games.

Not that much only because my deer stand is also behind my house as well as a swamp.
