Platoon Leader 2024
WELCOME TO THE HOMEPAGE FOR PLATOON LEADER 2024
Platoon Leader: Civil Unrest is coming May 18-19 2024.
This event is unlike any paintball game you’ve ever played. While not a reenactment, this is intended to force the player to push themselves and become the game. Combining continuous field presence for the full duration of the event, role players, and a dedicated OPFOR; Platoon Leader immerses you in a fictional military operation that very well may be the most difficult paintball game you will ever play. Due to the nature of the event, registration is limited, once sold out there will be no more openings including day of registration. Below you will find registration for Task Force 23 and a brief description of the various factions within the event. Be advised, sometimes a firefight is not the best option.
