Sounds like a good time.
At first, I cringed at the price (100 paintballs?) but considering all the stuff included, its not bad at all.
What sort of guns? PGP's? Pumps or semi-autos or the old Splatmasters?
Air tanks or CO2 cartridges?

Any chance at buying more paintballs? One hundred can be burned through in five minutes!

What sort of terrain? Is it a cheesy enclosed course or just a lot out in the woods?

Here's a fun recipe that I'd like to replicate over here. A gang of old buddies and I did this in the States twice a year:

Order cases of paintballs by ten thousand or so to get the cheapest price and everybody gets a share and pays likewise. Throw all related gear into the trucks and head out into the sticks on property owned by a friend. Set up camp and spend Friday night feasting on grilled venison steaks and guzzling dark beer from the loaded coolers around the campfire.
Next morning, up early and everyone is dressed like a survivalist duck hunter. Lock and loaded, we team up and ford a river that marks the boundary. Engage in various games such as "capture the flag," "terminator" (kill everyone), "kill the president" (one unarmed guy in blaze orange must go from point a to b with his team protecting him and taking hits), and a few others.
Usually there are smoke bombs, roman candles, bottle rockets and flares getting tossed around in the woods to liven things up. Lots of paintballs are fired. Some guys have autos that burn through the hoppers. We all started out years back with single shots when they first came out, then it became an arms race.
At the end of an exhausting day, head back to camp, have another feast and tell war stories and examine bruises and welts.

Anyhow, this is a great thread and I might make it up there on the 21st.

Erm...can I come too? (Says the new kid on the block to all the scary looking bigger kids)

I haven't had a chance to run round like a loon for a while. Alas, I am now working with college kids and not tyrannical 9 year olds.

I'll ask my Co-worker too.

hope they have really bad guns, the more accurate the guns are the less fun it is (ie you can't do mad suicide charges and not get picked off in ten seconds)...
