You have a row of dominoes set up; you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.

----- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1954

“The first night at firebase Miami there was an uneasy feeling. Throughout the jungle we could see the eerie glow of flares gave the night sky a surreal look. We were all nervous about what tomorrow would bring. Tomorrow our orders were to proceed to the Cambodian border and re-take Firebase Chicago.

I hadn’t been in the bush since ’66 when we swooped in here and kicked ass. Back then, Firebase Chicago was a place that the Cong feared. Now I hear it changes hands almost weekly. It seems those in the rear didn’t mind but then again they didn’t mind a lot until Tet. Tet changed everything. All across the country, the war changed. No longer were we safe in the cities. No longer did we have control. I figured it was time to get off my ass and get back to what I did best. So now I sit here waiting and sweating. They’re calling it Copperhead. We are going in hot and heavy. The 1st Air Cavalry has our ass but the 101st Airborne will be the tip of the sword. This time it ain’t changing hands. This time we are going to hold the line.”

MindGame Productions has taken you around the world but now, for the first time, we will take you back to those thrilling days of yesteryear.

Welcome to Firebase Chicago. The year is 1968 and the Tet Offensive has just ended. U.S. Forces are gaining lost ground against the Vietcong. U.S. Forces have just recaptured Bin Kei near the Cambodian border. Firebase Chicago lays several clicks North and has changed hands constantly. MACV (Military Assistance Command Vietnam) is determined to hold onto the Firebase and the surrounding area. If the U.S. can strengthen their hold on the area then they can control the flow of troops and supplies coming in from Cambodia.

Time to drop your PASGT and lose those ACUs. Trade them for a steel pot and some good old fashioned OD fatigues and get your happy ass in country for our latest event! Join us for Operation Copperhead.

MindGame Productions in conjunction with Wayne's World of Paintball will be presenting our most intense event yet on July 22, 2006.
