D-Day is the largest paintball event in the world. It lasts over a week, usually has between 3500 and 4000 participants. They have mini-scenarios and other stuff, all leading up to the main game, which is basically the invasion of Normandy by the allied forces.

Ya that's what I thought you meant. I said that because I thought you might think I was a noob. But then I realized I was on Spudfiles :) Still though, that's a heck of a trip for me. I will have to sit this one out :(

Yea, it's a couple hours for me, but if I can get off work, and get a friend to come and help with gas, I'm all over it.
