After many years of looking for just ther ight fit, Hooligan Tactical Squad is proud to announce that ECX Paintball, The east coasts hottest new paintball park, and the official home of the GPL Paintball League, are the new Official Home Field of Hooligan Tactical Squad.

Culminating with the combined effort to build a simulated Russian OT-26 tank, and the desire to progress the park to new levels of excitement, ECX set forth an offer that matched the desires of Hooligan Tactical Squad to a tee.

Look for your local Hooligans at ECX Paintball park, wheither we're on the Scenario Fields, or in the snake on the speedball courts, we guarantee you won't be dissapointed!  Be sure to check out www.ECXPaintballPark.com for so much paintball excitement, you'll never want to leave!

Hooligan Tactical Squad is proud to announce that final arrangements have been made,  and they will officially be joining the Save Phase Family.  After weeks of discussion on how both groups could benefit each other, the symbiotic union has finnaly come to be, leaving all parties involved feeling good about the future.

Save Phace Masks, although new on the market, are not new in thought. When a mask is needed for whatever occasion, be it skydiving, snowboarding, motorcross, or even bass fishing, Sae face has your good looks and devilish charms in mind.  The strongest selling point by far is the custimizable aspect that is so popular with todays paintball market, that once that feature gets the proverbial foot in the door, the bounty of other features will keep it there.  From the removable replacable foam, to the quick change lenses, to the completely removable strap, this mask is set to take the market by stome for years to come.

To get your very own Save Phace mask, or for a demo, you need only go as far as your local Hooligan, or email us at sparrow@hooligan-tactical-squad.com!

Hooligan Tactical Squad Captain Wayne "Sparrow" Clough has be tasked with the restructuring of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) after a dismal display of events that have occurred since the falling of its nemisis, the German War Machine.

"We will be doing a major overhaul, and a lot of the changes although drastic, will be for the betterment of the organization," says founder Hercules Pappagonilis, team captain of The Undertakers. "I needed someone who could do the task, even though we know some of the moves will be unpopular, I needed someone to stand fast behind the decisions we made, and I knew Sparrow could do it."

Sparrow commented, "Some of the changes will include a restructuring of the teams formats, and a lot of the teams wont make the cut.  The ones that don't will still remain dear friends, they just simply wont be obligated to t he sponsors we're taking on, which in and of itself is a new change."

The JSOC, while being a very prominent "Mega Team" has grown to enclude over 24 teams on its roster, including such teams as The Undertakers, Hooligan Tatical Squad, Ambush Alpha, Brooklyn Raiders, and the Gods of War, just to name a few.  Each team, while a difficult opponent int heir own right, have proven to be a tremendous force when paired together under the JSOC Banner, as was the case in Skirmish's Invasion of Normandy 2007, when the JSOC led the Allied forces to a victory of 171 to 22!

Look for a more refined JSOC to hit the fields near you in 2009!

With a resounding voice, the community of Scenario paintball stood together and rejected the concempt of paying for the right to post basic game details in threads.  In a thread Starthed by Capt.Malon of Team Extreme Measures, a simple thread that in a period of less then 48 hours raked in 10,470 views, and an astonishing 675 posts.  averaging more then 40 posts an hour at times, this thead proved without a doubt two things; one being that no matter what side we play on at the field, we are still all friends within the community, and the second being that PbNation is not the only forum on the net.

PbFreedom, having opened at the hands of Speedball players, boomed from 12 members to 103 members in the dwindling ours of the argumentative thread, as an influx of fed up scenaro players left after months of trying to "Fix" what they (we) viewed as a broken section of PbNation.  Now, even though the admin at PbNation have offically retractied the condemning rules that started the contavercy and apologized, the damage has been done.  TeddyMo, an avid user of PbNation stated, "Once you fire the bullet, you cant put it back in the gun..." PbFreedom offers a home to those fed up with the big forum politics, and a return to common sense. 

Many well respected members of the PbNation community have found some solace in the confines of PbFreedom, seeing it as a welcome alternative, sporting common sense and less constricting rules, being run by players, for players.  Longstanding members such as Marol, TeddyMo, and Harbinger have all logged accounts on PbFreedom, even offering support and suggestions as how to improve to suit the needs of the community that was previously established on PbNation.  Not only have these needs been met promptly, but they have been seen as a positive step forward. 

Granted, this PbNation clone has no where near the population the PbNation claims, but it is growing, and with the help of a few to promote this forum, it may overshadow its predisessor in the next few years. To help in this process, PbFreedom has chosen to officially sponsor Hooligan Tactical Squad.  Hooligan Tactical Squad will be distributing stickers, and toting PbFreedom Logos for the 2008 AND 2009 season, in hopes of helping to mend the damage done to the sacred Scenario Community.

Team Owner, Wayne "Sparrow" Clough, states, "I know it will take some time to heal the damage that has been done, but we as a community have been through worse, and I think we'll come through ok.  Luckily, we've been offered a new home where we can all feel at ease, and our voice is heard more often.  Only time will tell the outcome, but hey, A little compitition never hurt anyone, right?" If you're interested in joining the members at PbFreedom, please feel free to log on at www.pbfreedom.com and create your account free of charge.  Several Stickers will soon be available, and can be obtained through the site or by sending email to: sparrow@hooligan-tactical-squad.com!
