in the Allied TOC or Tactical Operations Center. "OK D-Day Fever" By: Daniel Mareno Jones OK D-Day Fever- The fever that usually comes around about 3 months or sooner before the D-Day event. Sometimes annoying to self and others. Your mind is D-Day, but can only be satisfied by being there. Symptoms: Packing 2 months or so in advance. Buying new paintball gear. Finding every excuse to get time off work to go. And a few others. Note: Fever usually caught after first year at event. Fever not really curable. ~~~~~~~~ Each year in June, at least for the past 13 years, an event takes place in the small northeastern Oklahoma town of Wyandotte. The event, which is called 'The Annual Oklahoma D-Day Event,' is held to help honor and preserve the memory of all those who fought during WW II, specifically those who took part in the invasion of Normandy during the evening of June 5th and on the morning of June 6th,1944. One of the new aspects of this yearly event this year is a competition to see who can produce and submit the best event background video. Winners will receive a variety of valuable prizes as well as satisfaction of knowing that their video has been selected to help promote the event. The clip I've attached today (see below) is just one of the entries in this competition. Preparations for D-Day go on year round, but they really begin at the site on or around June 7th and the final day long battle for the beaches kicks off at 0900 hours on Saturday, June 12th. Starting on the 7th and throughout the week leading up to the battle over 3,000 participants from around the world will arrive on site to get familiar with the field, as well as spend time training and working together as teams. They'll be divided up into groups which represent all the many combat units, from both sides, which took part in the actual invasion. When they're not busy training participants are free to visit a number of newly built, air conditioned stores which have recently been erected on the site, including a D-Day era cafe decorated with historic photos, uniforms and memorabilia. For the third year in a row everyone will also get to meet and listen to a WW II veteran of the actual invasion, Mr. Jake McNiece, a life long Oklahoma resident and veteran of the 101st Airborne Division. On that Wednesday evening those on the site will have an opportunity to take part in yet another new event aspect, a USO style amateur hour talent show and canteen dance. Music of the 40s will play as a number of participants dressed in period uniforms take part. Residents from the surrounding area are also cordially invited to stop by and observe the preparations for this epic battle, including the annual parade of the units which takes place that Friday afternoon, as well as visit the D-Day Cafe, or take rides around the field as the battle unfolds that Saturday.

![]() Hi, this is Andy Van Der Plaats, or as some folks may also
know me "Dorsai," writing today on behalf of the 'Allied Command,' the world's largest paintball team. Yes, I said the world's largest team because the past two years we've fielded at least 1,700 players The Annual Oklahoma D-Day Event. My reason for writing you today is to issue an appeal to join us this year for The Annual Oklahoma D-Day Event. If you accept and I hope you will, you'll have an opportunity to meet and play along side some of the very best players not just from here in the US, but from around the world. D-Day, as you may already know is a one day event, but it's also fair to say that it's a week long event as well, because there's also a whole series of daily mini scenarios and a night exercise, not to mention nightly speedball. A week is also how long we have to organize and train everyone who takes part, so they'll be ready. While it's not mandatory that you come a week early, we do encourage players to come early so they can learn the field, as well as how we're proposing to secure the necessary number of points for our side to win. Here are three clips which show just one of handful of key locations, all of which are being fought for simultaneously over the course of the day. As soon as this objective is secure and the points are awarded, action for these players shifts without pause to another objective and so on. Adding to the challenge faced by hundreds of players are issues like the terrain and of course insuring that everyone stays properly hydrated.

Paint is being supplied by PMI (Kee Sports) and access to the camp grounds, including use of the showers, is just $5.00 for your entire stay. Well that's about it except to say thanks for taking the time to review my invitation. If you've got questions or want to know which unit might be best suited to your style of play, feel free to write, or give me a call. I'm available most any time between 6 AM and 8 PM (eastern time).
