Oklahoma Dday 2008
4th Infantry Division

Still one of the newest units at Oklahoma Dday in only its third year, the 4th Infantry Division will be hitting the hardest beach, Utah Beach. In both previous years, the 4th Infantry Division has taken its beach. In '06, they were the only beach unit to gain any points, and last year, took the beach in under an hour. We will once again be close to 400 people in total this year with tank support and the navy to support us on our beach. We will also have support from the 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, 899th Blackcats, and the sniper units.

We are looking for individuals, family's, teams, or just about anyone from speedballers to seasoned and new woodsball players. This year is our most organized, we have a very experienced command staff, and are ready to fight our way up the hill even quicker this year than last.

This unit is commanded by Farris from Georgia, and myself from Texas, with two regiments including heavy gunners, fast chargers, and support groups with anti tank and heavy equipment. Lots of changes have been made this year in this unit, and we are looking forward to a repeat victory.

The navy unit on our beach, will be laying down our main suppression fire with un-contestable force. The Allied tanks will start from this area and will give us cover while we open the road for them to proceed to the rest of the field, where they will rain havoc on the German forces.

So come join the 4th ID at Oklahoma Dday this year in 2008, the biggest and the best.

Objectives
Land at Utah Beach and secure a beachhead there. Eliminate German resistance in your sector and proceed inland to link up with elements of the 101st Airborne to secure Causeway #2 to advance the armored forces of the U.S. 2nd Armored Division.

You will be securing the northern flank of the invasion. SHAEF G-2 (Intelligence) reports Utah Beach is defended by German 709th Infantrie-Division. SHAEF G-3 (Operations) plans for the 4th ID to hit the Tare Green and Uncle Red sectors of Utah Beach with both the 8th and the 12th Infantry Regiments, accompanied by the 899th Blackcats Tank Destroyers.

Move inland with the 3rd Armored Division and secure the Causeway#2 then link up with the US Airborne, French Resistance and Free French No. 10 Commandos.

Once the beachhead at Utah and the access of Causeway #2 is secure, you will proceed inland under direction of the Allied Command to secure other objective areas. G-2 (SHAEF Intelligence Office) reports elements of the 91st Luftlande-Division are stationed at the Airfield, with other unknown supporting units. Expect the heavy presence from the German 21st Panzer Division and German Anti-Tank forces in your area.

when it draws closer I'll let you know if I can go. I've alwasy wanted to do this, but never had the money. It's not cheap to drive from Indiana to Okholma and stay a week while paying for paintball on top of it.

Rufu$ · November 27th, 03:45 AM

I believe some of our guys are from Peoria, Indiana. Is that close? Maybe you could catch a ride. I'll have them post here and you can contact them.

***martix_agent*** · November 27th, 08:45 AM

never heard of it..but I'll check.

I think he is referring to me. I'm from Peoria, Illinois (still closer to Indiana than Texas) I played with the 4th ID last year, but have been given command of my own unit this year. If there's anything I can help with let me know. My sons and I are working on a vehicle of mass transportation (old school bus) to make the trip with this year. Stay in touch, I'll keep you posted.

KS~Sniper · November 27th, 05:03 PM

My fault, I stand corrected. I've never been to either, so they are both foreign land to me. Looking forward to seeing that bus Superdad.

***martix_agent*** · November 27th, 07:01 PM

Taking a bus may be cheaper. how much gas do you think it'll use there and back?

superdad · November 28th, 07:41 AM

I haven't quite worked that out, but it should be less than 2 or 3 cars would use. Last year we drove a small SUV pulling a utility trailer, we had 4 guys and it was cramped, we averaged 17 mpg.

Rufu$ · November 28th, 10:17 AM

I googled your location, and you are only about 3 hours from Superdad and his family. I bet that if you could get to them, they would love to have you accompany them on the journey. I believe they travel the same distance as I do, roughly 7 hours. Unfortunately when I made the trip I was alone. It cost me about $100 in gas round trip driving an SUV averaging about 19 MPG.

Here's a link you might want to check out, Oklahoma Dday FAQ.

yeah a drive to Peoria is much better than a drive to Ok.(i know, i did it for a wedding this summer)It's an 12ish hour trip from where I live.

I've been keeping my eye on this game for a few years now and every year I tell m yself I'm gonna do it. Last year i about went a week early for the weeding so i could get in on it.

I'm curious about food, there's no wa you can keep anything cool ina cooler for a week, or even a day in that heat. Do most peopel usually buy food daily or go out to eat?

KS~Sniper · November 28th, 05:38 PM

they sell ice there so you can keep your food cold we did all week with out any problems just bring a cooler for your drinks and one for your food that way when you need a drink your not opening the food one all the time

Rufu$ · November 29th, 12:14 AM

There is a Wal-mart about 20-30 minutes away if you need anything, but you shouldn't have any problems. Put your meat in a deep freezer a few days before and it will take 24 hours or so to thaw. Ice is about $3 a bag at the event. A little pricey, but much cheaper than eating at the cafe 2 or 3 times a day.

KS~Sniper · December 4th, 05:02 PM

you people don't want to miss this one it is the most intense paintball you will ever play

Rufu$ · December 4th, 11:49 PM

Don't join the 4th if you are afraid of
a. having loads of fun,
b. making friends for life,
c. shooting germans,
d. and smiling in the face of victory.

On the other hand, if these things appeal to you, the 4th might be the place for you.

The 4th ID in it's 3rd year, will be, for the 3rd straight year, one of the most talked about units at D-Day. Under new leadership this year, the 4th is looking to be the best unit to ever hit the field. We have room for individuals, families, teams, pros, amateurs, seasoned vets, and newbies. Looking to have the time of your life? Join the 4th Infantry Division. PM me or catch me on Yahoo messenger sokkerref1 or MSN Rufus-111@hotmail.com if you have any questions.

I've never understood all teh ranks and things in this massive game. Are they created by random groups or does the game offer them and people jump into them?

Rufu$ · December 5th, 02:37 AM

Ranks are determined by the game they are offered by senior officers. For example our CO Farris was offered the position by the SAC (Supreme Allied Commander). He then in turn offered my position to me. Are you interested in leadership? We have a few positions open. Contact me for more info. sokkerref1@yahoo.com
