Bad-Land’s -

By far... the largest course TAG offers. There’s lots of room for maneuvers, movement, strategy and tactics. So much brush, that you can hide see a battalion from another. This is the ultimate ‘Hunting Field’ and is not for the faint of heart. You had better consult with your doctor before venturing on this course. On 24hr scenario play days, we simply combine this with ‘No-Man’s Land’ into one HUGE field. These Riverbed courses typically are not played in our 3-hr sessions due to size and distance.

Barren Straight -

This field is for small (intimate) sized groups. The two teams start on two completely different types of terrain. One side starts off with lots of brush that offers ‘concealment’; the other side, starts in an embankment that offers complete ‘cover’.  The two sides are separated by a Kill-Zone (KZ) that no team would dare to cross…or would they?! The first team to cross over the KZ will ‘breach’ the other side and swipe through their defenses. WINTER NOTE: This course is prone to flooding, and therefore, not playable in the rainy season.

CQB: Close Quarters Battlefield -

This course is one of California’s favorite fields in the state. It is so dynamic, that SWAT teams come and train on it during the week (not open for general public on training days) with their flash-bangs and simunition rounds. This course uses about a dozen shipping containers (about $3k each) that we plasma cut door and window openings in them. These 8’x20’ ‘buildings, have walls, floors, and ceilings, for the true effect of URBAN combat. Some even have partitions on the inside, to add extra excitement. This is the PERFECT course to use your paint grenades in!!! This is a World’s First; a truly modular design…with the help of the largest forklift in the county (Hyster 165T, that lifts 16,500lbs) that we own. We fire up this monster of a beast off road forklift and move the course around every 90 days, so it never gets static or boring. We are constantly on the lookout for more containers (let us know if you know of any, please) and are always adding to the CQB. When we have enough, we will start stacking them on top of another to add a 2^nd floor dimension. To add a little more realism (as if there isn’t enough) we placed a bombed out car in the middle. Then placed cement forms (like in ‘Tour of Duty’). Just because we are just so crazy with excitement, we added ditches and trenches and fox holes on it to add more variety. THIS IS TRULY A 5-STAR FIELD!!

The Crucible -

This course is constructed completely of high impact polymer strapped barrels. It was specifically designed to be our “Introductory Course” and will be the 1^st course every player will start their session with. It is extremely close to our support staff (we can be there ‘on-the-spot’ for you, should any need arise). If the action gets too intense, you can ‘tap-out’ and be in a safe zone within a short distance. This has a small footprint (100x100) to keep every player tight with team-mates. This course has the unique features of being very user-friendly…every bunker can support a STANDING, full sized adult, without the need for bending or crouching.  The bunkers are also placed remarkably close, so maximum movement can easily be achieved with minimal experience. Everyone can feel a sense of accomplishment of advancement, even if a ‘tag’ is not achieved initially. This is 1 of 3 ‘Fence-Line’ Fields that spectators can view and take photos under the comfort of the awnings. This course is unique to Northern/Central California to TAG.

Desert Dunes -

Just like the name suggests…lots of “Dunes”. This course is different from the rest in the fact that it is not flat, but rolling. Because of this, your legs will get a real workout (better stretch before/after playing this course)! Tip: Keep your gun out of the sand. We made this field just to add even more variety to your playing experience. This course is unique in the fact that you can change your elevation of shooting position…it is the ONLY “BUNKER” you are allowed to climb (per insurance regulations).  Since your ‘line-of-sight- is broken up, you will have to rely on hearing more than vision…and since it is played on soft (non-noise making) sand…it can get REAL intense, up close and personal like.

Fox Hole City -

Ever wonder what it is like to share a Fox Hole with a partner waiting for the impending attack? That’s what we wondered, too. Now there’s no need to wonder what it’s like…you can actually live the experience. This course has Fox Holes everywhere!! Jump from hole to hole…like a prairie-dog...advancing towards your objective; under the ever-watchful eye of other predators.

No Man’s Land -

By far, the largest course TAG offers. There’s lots of room for maneuvers, movement, strategy and tactics. So much brush, that you can hide see a battalion from another. This is the ultimate ‘Hunting Field’ and is not for the faint of heart. You had better consult with your doctor before venturing on this course.

Ridge Line -

This Riverbed Course has the unique feature of being on a “Split Level”, played equally on both levels (giving way to the name “Ridge” Line). Both levels have lots of brush for concealment and cover. It is a medium sized course and can host a good number of different tactics and planning. Because of the different ‘levels’ of play, strategic planning is paramount…get it wrong, and your team loses a crushing defeat. Plan it right, and your team slices through the opponents with ease. This course can be combined with the Bad-Lands and No-Man’s Land for an EXTREME scenario!!

Sherwood Forest -

This is one of the most memorable Riverbed Courses, due to the fact that half of the course has trees that are green year round! In the green season, the foliage is so thick that the sunlight never reaches the forest floor. This is NOT the time to use tinted lenses…it is just too dark inside. The SMALL forest is in the middle of the course separating a raised shelf of Fox Holes. On the other side of the SAMLL forest is another raised shelf of thick brush. This is a slow play, hunting course that has no man made obstacles (INTENSE!). As far as diversity…this field has it all.

Spools -

This is 3^rd course that is played. It has the same footprint of 100x100, however offers a new dimension…different sized bunkers. This favors those players who aren’t afraid to use different stances and body positions (smaller players usually excel at this). Spools are a very common course in California, many parks have them. Something that players now have to contend with is the ‘shape’ of the bunkers…they ‘taper-in’ at the bottom. This allows unexpected shots not before experienced at your feet. More initial eliminations happen to these extremities. Keep your feet in! This is the 3^rd and last course that is played before players take a break from playing. It is the last ‘fence-line- field that spectators can view and take photographs under the comfort of the awnings.

Steel Drum Field (aka The “Raucous” Field) -

This is the 2^nd course that will be played in your session. This course has the same footprint (100’x100’) as The Crucible, however, instead of using high impact polymer strapped barrels, this one uses loose metal drums (hence, the name – Raucous). This adds a completely new element that makes this course unique from all others…a high noise factor. When shooting at the steel drums that opponents are hiding behind, the steel drums will make so much noise that it will interrupt the communications with their team mates…THAT is the time to move on them! You can use your paintball gun to create a ‘fog of war’ in your opponents. This is a terrific lesson of using your paintball gun as a tool of ‘manipulation’, not simply eliminating opponents. This course has fewer bunkers and is more s-p-r-e-a-d o-u-t. This was designed intentionally, to aid in the ‘evolutionary process’; giving players a little more visibility and freedom of mobility. This is a two-edged sword…this ‘loosening the play’ can cause loss of contact with team mates. This course is the 2^nd ‘Fence-Line Field’ that borders the Staging Area so spectators can watch and take photos from the comfort of the awnings. This course is unique to Northern/Central California. 

WWI Trench Field -

This has been a dream of ours for years!! We were doing an ‘Extreme Makeover’ project by buying the LARGEST back-ho that John Deere makes, a 710D (we didn’t want the Hyster 165T to be lonely with the ‘biggest in the county’ title). We started transforming the landscape, (we couldn’t think of a more impactful terrain modification).  Another Northern/Central California Exclusive, an award winning, 5-STAR RATING FIELD!!

We rimmed the edges with sandbags to prevent dirt from falling back in trenches, or on players. It is deep enough for adult sized players to stand in them (excess dirt piles add to height…still in OSHA regulation compliance). This is truly a ‘Hunting Field’, where a lot of snap shooting takes place. Lots of head shots (plugging ‘gophers’ per se). The bottom is pure soft sand, so during winter rains, it will drain out before you can even put away your umbrella!! This is one of the favorites by all players. …AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!!! 

XO Field -

The reason for the name…when you look at it from a “‘Bird’s Eye View”…it looks like an “X” and an “O” (hence “XO”). TAG offers another unique course in California. This is the Roland’s favorite course. “I like it because it allows me to change my style of play suitable to the opponent’s positions in an instant. I can run to gain ground, or drop low and sneak along ‘under their radar’ and pop up to snap shoot the unexpected! The cylindrical shape allows me to ‘wrap’ the top half of the bunker while the lower half is completely protected from incoming fire.” We have added another element to the shape, smaller widths. Instead of the traditional 8’x8’ sized bunker footprint, we have introduced 4’x4’. This allows for, 1) Less players in each bunker, and 2) faster reaction (movement) times around the bunkers. Try it…you’ll see why it is SO fun to play…and Roland’s favorite!
