HEADQUARTERS DISPATCH: THE PAINTBALL OPERATION OF THE YEAR – STALINGRAD
Order No. 1: Frontline Realignment and Return to Roots
Soldiers, prepare for deployment. This year's campaign comes with a strict directive – no splitting forces into Stalingrad Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Just like last year, the full weight of this monumental operation will converge on a single, blood-proven battlefield: the Benešov Paintball Ground.
And if your unit proves itself in this inferno, do not hesitate to enlist for the next phase of the World War II front. The successor operation code-named Kharkov will erupt at our brand-new ground within the former missile base in Bratronice!
RECRUIT TRAINING: NO GEAR OR SQUAD?
Stalingrad opens its gates to rookies too! Do you lack your own marker, gear, or teammates? No problem at all. Just complete the mandatory registration and arrive at the assembly point. Command will take care of the rest:
- We will issue and rent you complete field equipment without delay.
- Tactics and rules will be explained thoroughly on-site.
- Every recruit will be assigned to one of the warring armies, where fighting alongside seasoned veterans will quickly earn you your stripes!
Field Report: Stalingrad is the most accessible front for anyone wanting to taste wartime chaos in grand style. Furthermore, a reminder – all field orders from Paintballshop can be delivered directly to the site free of charge upon prior arrangement!
WHY IS THIS BATTLE LEGENDARY?
Stalingrad is no ordinary skirmish. It is a test of courage featuring elements you will not experience anywhere else on the field:
- Minefields: Hidden danger for every advancing scout, strictly managed under complete safety protocols.
- Wheeled Combat Vehicles: Mechanized support operating directly on the frontline of fire for both sides.
- An atmosphere heightened by the thunder of terrifying combat and authentic wartime propaganda.
- Historical intelligence briefings at respawns – learn the real face and fate of the locations you shed sweat for.
- Pyrotechnic effects strictly controlled by operation command for maximum safety and immersion.

Division of Forces and Frontline Turnaround:
Standing opposed are the unyielding units of the USSR under the command of General Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov, facing the fierce might of the 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army of the Wehrmacht led by General Paulus.
In the first phase of the day, German forces lead the assault backed by wheeled transport. Following field rations (lunch), however, a radical shift occurs: the frontlines flip, respawns and starting positions are swapped, and the Red Army surges forward into an offensive wave supported by vehicles. Battlefield parity will thus be fulfilled!
Beyond the primary strategic objective (capturing and holding key sectors), covert side operations enter the play! Commanders on both sides will receive classified orders and secondary missions at precise time intervals throughout the day. How they handle them depends entirely on their tactical genius. This is a full-scale battle of wits and general stars!
BATTLE SECTORS – WHAT ARE WE BLEEDING FOR?
The fight is waged over 8 key stronghold flags positioned to faithfully mirror the actual wartime map. Every 20 minutes, a signal sounds to evaluate territorial gains:
- Mamajev Kurgan (Hill 102): Strategic elevation. He who controls the hill controls all of Stalingrad.
- Pavlov's House: A symbol of unbreakable resistance, heroically defended against overwhelming odds for months.
- Stalingrad-1 Central Railway Station: The supply artery where every single tie is fought over.
- Red October Factory: An industrial complex vital for sustaining combat capability.
- Dzerzhinsky Factory (Tractor Plant): A site where tanks were born directly under enemy fire.
- The Barricades: An ammunition bastion without which the front falls silent.
- Stalingrad Volga Wharves: The gateway for incoming reinforcements from water and land.
- Red Square: The heart of the city and the goal of ultimate victory.
Caution: An unexpected secret bonus mission may strike during the course of the day!
