11/29/06 Well it was another busy season. Filled with great games like NJ Nam, Red Dawn, Turkey Shoot and other fun skirmishes. We also had record numbers of new recruits join us, a total of 7! This has recreated the team into a stronger unit with a variety of styles and skills that promises that next season will be even better. ~Barbarossa
11/24/06 This sunday is the Pretorian's annual Turkey Shoot scenario game. Its for PE only and will cap of the end of the season. Everyone going should meet at Justin's house at 9am for the games! ~Barbarossa
11/09/06 The PLYN has been officially disbanded. Wolf Spider and I, were both in western New York together going to college, started the new chapter. The tough winters up there made it hard to practice but we still managed to get a game in against the local PB club and beat them! But since the time both of us left the area, the chapter has faltered. This mainly due to the lack of support by the college itself. It kicked the club off the land we had been playing on and refused to support it due to "insurance" reasons. The whole PB movement in general there has fallen apart so we decided to call it quits and retired the Chapter. ~Barbarossa
9/23/06 So long and thanks for all the fish! We had a our last game with Zero Liability on their Norwich field. Good luck Tang with your move and new job out west. ~Barbarossa
9/12/06 The party keeps on going as we get another two recruits, Invasion and Ronin. Welcome aboard! ~Barbarossa
9/11/06 Well another busy month gone by. I swear I'm still working on getting the Nam pictures up! But we need to welcome Bishop to the team! Hurah! And congrats to Rominaus for getting shot and getting a Sticky Wound for it. Got some decent size events coming up. The last Zero Liability game is on the 23rd (see our forum for more details) and its looking like the PE will be going to the zombie fest of 28 Days Later in Mass. At that point we should be getting towards the end of the '06 season but we'll go out with a blast. And we have alot played over the winter for next season already. ~Barbarossa
8/03/06 I'm nominating, and awarding Barbarossa the Griffin Star for his role as General during Red Dawn scenario game! ~Ghost
6/26/06: Knock knock who is it? Whop ass stew!! PE is getting better than ever as another name enters rank: Rominaus. Who proved himself down in NJ with us. ~Barbarossa
6/17/06: Well its been a few days since we returned from NJ Nam and I am proud to report that the Vietcong took the field! Or rather held the field. Here's the AAR:
6/06/06: AHH! 666 its the end of the world... Or only 3 more days until we leave for NJ Nam! Hurah! And we've got on board another star player, Dark! Welcome to the team. Also in other news, the pre-season news is sent to the hall of records. ~Barbarossa
5/27/06: Our team practice has been switched to the Cement Yard this sunday the 28th. We'll be meeting early at 10 to go over team tactics before the regular games start. We need to get ready and stay frost for NJ Nam which is only 2 weeks away. That is all. ~Barbarossa
5/14/06: It's my pleasure on behalf of Barbarossa and myself, to announce Wolf Spider's promotion to Tribunus. Spider has been with us since the beginning, and much of the mold of this team as well as our style of play is highly due to his ideas and contributions. This has been a long time coming, congradulations Ross, you deserve it. ~Ghost
5/07/06: The '06 season is shaping up to be our busiest yet! Already we have our first medal awarded to Ghost! Finally after years of toil he is awarded his first... STICKY WOUND! Thanks to some cheating speedballers who were shooting hot. Also this weekend has us up at Norwich playing with Zero Liability. That should be a good time. And the early bird pre-registration for NJ Nam! is this Wednesday, otherwise it goes up 5 bucks. ~Barbarossa
4/11/06: The PE ranks swell once again as JT joins the force! With him comes a solid defender and some serious firepower! ~Barbarossa
4/08/06: What a great game at Strategy Plus, despite the raining freezing weather. Red Dawn was a pure pleasure to be a General in and was my first time. Luckily I had some great players with me and the Pretorians, to name a few the Storm Claws who took MVT for their tenacious D of the village and hard work through out the day. And our own Wolf Spider got the Most Extreme Play of the Day! Good game all!
3/28/06: Well looks like I'm going to be the General of the Wolverines in Strategy Plus' Red Dawn scenario game. Everyone check it out here and give your support to the Freedom Fighters as we attempt to liberate our town from the clutches of the Soviet Invaders! ~Barbarossa
3/23/06: We had a great game on the 18th playing with Zero Liability! They have a great field and a good crew of people. Assualting the various bases was a wicked good time. Also I am pleased to announce that we have a new member who joined us, Snake Eyes! He's a solid player for sure who will only strengthen our team. Congrats! Here's a pic of us from the Zero game. ~Barbarossa
3/20/06: A lot of planning is going on in the VC forum for the NJ NAM game. Its shaping up to be something very cool I am thinking. Check out the link to the forum in the our team's war room forum. ~Barbarossa
2/24/06: The PE had a good time at Team PUD's Oh Shit My Balls Are Blue!! III. We learned important lessons that will strengthen our team like better communication and playing within well defined boundries! Sorry Bendy and Punisher for making you chase me. Anyway we look forward to the next one. Winter Balls' pictures are up here. And no embarrassing photos of Wolf Spider this time... sorry ladies! Also season 05's news has been sent to the archive. ~Barbarossa
2/04/06: Well you might have seen that in the February edition of Paintball 2 Xtremes that the Pretorian Elite and TEAM PUD was listed! For our game in Cali. And I quote: "...and MVT for The SLACRS went to Team P.U.D. TAW puts on a great game as evidenced by the fact that so many teams traveled so many miles to be there. The Stone Cutterz drove from Winnemucca, Nevada. Dan Straka (Barb) of the Praetorian Elite left the rest of the team at home but made the long journey from Hamdon (Hamden ~ Barb), Connecitcut by himself to play this game. Team P.U.D. flew in from Massachusetts and took the MVT."
Some of the PUDs and I even got into a picture in the mag. Pretty neat. But back to buisness we got the Oh Shit My Balls Are Blue!! III coming up in 2 weeks and Ghost and I want to meet the weekend before to review tactics and hang out. Hopefully the 11th if everyone is ok with that. Let us know. ~Barbarossa
12/31/05: Its been a long extended season but good one! Found a new field with a great bunch of woodsball players still active. Got to play with Flea today, as he took a break from saving the world. Pics of the '05 season are up here, in the image gallery to prove he does still exist. And I am pleased to announce that the the '05 Season campaign medals have been awarded to Ghost, Wolf Spider, John, Paul, and myself. Congrats guys! I'd also like to point out Ghost, Wolf Spider, and myself have completed 3 seasons and thus have completed our first Tour of Duty, and are now eligable for the 2nd Tour of Duty Campaign medal. (See Awards page) Its been a great 3 years you guys, I'm proud at seeing how far we have come. Happy New Year and see you in the '06 pre-season! ~Barbarossa
12/22/05: It’s been a busy two months for myself. Got a job and moved into a new place and with the holidays coming up forget about it! Anyway in the meanwhile I've gotten some possibilities for games for us. Our very own Flea is back in CT for a week and I've talked to Ghost and we are thinking that Saturday the 31st will be a good reunion game day. Also a bit further down the line Team PUD is doing another Oh Shit My Balls Are Blue!! III on Feb 18th. It should be a good time. See the team forum for details. ~Barbarossa
10/21/05: Got my pictures up and added a new image page with a few of my pics and some from Heather of PUD and War Diva of WATAG. Check them out, you might just have a few laughs. Check here TAW's Hang'em High or on the image eagle in the menu for full page (recommended for full effect). ~Barbarossa
10/17/05: Sorry for the delay folks, its all part of the show! I've been AFK since friday as I flew out to Cali play with out sponsor Jim and Team PUD. What a great time! We lost the game by a few hundred points but kicked some serious ass. Just two words: "Night Mission." It was amazing. I dropped my camera off to be delevoped and should get my pics up with the next day to two. Cheers to WATAG and 8-Ball, PUDS, Jim and Damian and Creek for making it one killer scenario game. ~Barbarossa
:UPDATE: Here is a picture of all us about to get ready to head out in the first wave, thanks to Heather for this pic!
9/19/05: The PLC is reactived until new management! Pretorian Frost will be the chapter's leader and the Tribunus will act as advisors. The PLYN is then currenty heavily recruiting to rebuild its numbers after Wolf Spider and I have left the area. It is currently in its Pre-Season and is preparing for its 06 Spring Season! ~Barbarossa
I accept the honor you have bestowed me. I'll do my best to uphold the ideals and fun that the PE stands for. ~Frost
9/12/05: The PLC increases yet again! I'd like to welcome our newest member, Pretorian Wraith to our team! He'll be a solid sniper type player so watch out for the grass knoll. Also I got my 3rd Sticky Wound award for the bruises in the thigh and for being a dumb-ass and not checking the rear. All I will say is watch out for ex-mil type guys, they're tricky. ~Barbarossa
8/30/05: We didn't get to play as much this summer as we usually do and Ghost pointed out a fine detail. That none of the members of the PLC are leaving CT to go back to college so we've decided to cancel the typical "off-season" for the PLC and extend the summer '05 season! We got new guys, new guns... so press on! ~Barbarossa
8/23/05: First I'd like to announce that we have two new Pretorians that have entered the fold! Pretorian Paul and Pretorian John have been accepted into our ranks! Congratulations guys. And also we'd like to thank Josh Castle and his crew for the fun exhibition round on their field. Good times all round.~Barbarossa
7/20/05: Wolf Spider and I practiced some full on sword fighting the other day... just in case we run out of paintballs in combat! A few huge bruises later (and nearly a broken hand) we came out prepared to do battle with enemies who oppose the Guard! Or frightened our friends...~Barbarossa

5/21/05: As part of our re-organization of the PE the officers are proud to announce the creation of the Order of Allectus; A Council of Triarii! This is a order within our team for the non-officer veterans who have fought with us for years. This order has stiff requirements and the first member inducted is Pretorian Flea. Congraduations. There is a link for it in the nav menu but for you lazy types click, here. And some house keeping stuff, the old pre-season news has been moved into the News Archive. Carry on!~Barbarossa
5/16/05: Yes its that time again and the PLC is gearing up to go in hot! We are having our first recruiting met sunday the 22nd. The last pre-season was one of our most busy times yet, while large scenario games, getting sponsored, and meeting new teams. Let's hope this season is just as intense. ~Barbarossa
Yes! Here's hoping to a great season with some new blood and good games! ~Ghost
5/01/05: Yes, PLYN finished the last practice of it's first year of existance. Some great times had by all. The last practice involved two new players to the game, Christine and Nick. Hope you two had a good time and will play again! Both Frost and Parker have particpated and upheld the PE name and both have been promoted to Monitors. Congratulations are in order, you boys got your first V. Unfortunately this was one of the last games Parker will be playing with the PE as he goes his seperate way after college. It was great playing with you bud. On that note here's a link to the pics from this past season of the unit in action, PLYN. ~Barbarossa
4/27/05: I'm running Armotech Mods Awards Contest 2005 over at the Armotech.us/forum for best user modifications to Armotech markers. All should check it out, over $1000 bucks in prizes!!!~Barbarossa

4/17/05: Wolf Spider and I took a PB vacation to Connecticut to meet up with Ghost and play in the "The Fever: Codenamed Trixie" at Strategy Plus with our buds in Team PUD and Yankee Division and our sponsor Jim from DMS. The day started out with nearly 130 players, and us on the Army side, which had 20 player less than the civilian side.
4/10/05: It was PLYN's first match and what a great warm day it was. PE started with a man lower and we lost the first 3 rounds due to this. Then AU gave us a Matt and then switched him with Gary to even out the teams and PE won the next 5 rounds! The game end with one more round of 3 vs 3 with PE only and winning leaving the final score PE: 6 and AU: 3. Thanks to Gary, Dan, Matt and Travis for making it a great day! ~Barbarossa
4/04/05: Update, the polls are closed on PLC coordinator positions. And its only 2 weeks until "The Fever" at Strategy Plus. I'll be pre-registering myself and a few others later this week so last chance to jump on board. Also I've added the PE's battle standard to the main page, one for the PLC, and one for the PLYN. Hurah! ~Barbarossa

3/04/05: After some requests I've compilied the history of the Pretorian Elite! It is located here. For future reference there is an icon for it now in the menu bar and I've removed the area maps icon as it doesn't pertain to us as much anymore. Have a good Spring Break everyone. ~Barbarossa
2/27/05: I'd Like to annouce the start of a new company by my friend Dierwolf, a paintball guru. He's inventions, so far strictly for Armotech guns, will make their internals near frictionless! Check it out. Also updated Frost's bio with a picture! Ah fresh meat for the grinder! Also we're about half way thru the off season for the PLC so start hitting the gym to get pumped up. ~Barbarossa
1/25/05: We are now offically sponsored by Jim at DevilMountainSports.com! Busy times indeed! I've also put up pictures from Team PUD's Winter Blue Balls Game here. I completely recoded the image gallery as well, should look the same but load a hell of a lot faster. Thanks again Jim! ~Barbarossa
1/21/05: I am proud to award Barbarossa two, count em, two, distinguished service medals. One for his commitment to the team in playing almost every week during the season, and representing our team in various locations against other players and the creation of the PLYN.
The second is for Barbarossa's dedication off the field, the website, communication with other teams, and just generally his hard work, as people are starting to hear whispers of the name Pretorian Elite because of him. Your work hasn't gone unnoticed or unapprieciated.
I also would like to award Wolf Spider a distinguished service medal for his dedication to
he team in participating in many practices and the two matches this past summer, his tactical help in the creation of the team's battle doctrine as well as his involvement with the creation of the PLYN. ~Ghost

The PUD guys are great and funny and it was a pleasure to finally meet Jim (bottom middle) from Armotech and DMS. We also made some new friends with Yankee Division who are some great players as well. Here's a group shot of us all, I'm in the lower right and Ghost is in the middle back. So thanks from both of us to everyone for the terrific games. Cheers! ~Barbarossa
1/12/05: After a few requests and some brain storming I've completely redone the Troop Manifest section! Much more sleek now and sexy if I do say so myself, but post in the forum what you think and if you want to add something to your personal bio. Cheers all! ~Barbarossa
1/08/05: Happy New Year everyone! The 2004 off season news has been sent to the News Archive. There's alot of exciting stuff happening, while its pre-season for the Connecticut chapter, but within a few weeks the PLYN will start active practices for its '05 Winter season.

11/18/04: I'd like to welcome our newest member Pretorian Frost, recruited by Barbarossa to the Pretorian Elite. May this inspire confidence, or loyalty, or one of the other positive emotions we learn about in management. ~Wolf Spider

The first match was with a mixture of CTF, Elimation, and King of the Hill rounds left the score PE: 3 and the Crew: 2 with one draw round. While M-Crew was new to the area and played with one less man they fought hard and got us good several times. A few near broken bones and bleeding cuts later PE ended the match with a victorious CTF round. The Second Match a week later had all Elimation rounds as to M-Crew's request that left PE: 3 and the Crew: 0 with again one draw round. Hats off to a good game!

4/14/04: The new season is coming closer to beginning, so we need people's work scheduals as soon as possible. We're going to do something very similar to last year in regards to practices and trying to scehdual games, and as of right now, Sunday is still the day. Everyone should e-mail me or Barbarossa at the Pretorian address to confirm that Sunday is ok. ~Ghost

1/10/04: After review from some of the members of the unit I've added three new medals; Marksman, Sharpshooter, and the elite Sniper skill awards. More will soon be added. Also you know the Blue Streak balls they sell at Wal-Mart? Well I tested them and on average they broke around 2 - 3 bounces on the bounce test. Their shell is twice as thin as a PMI Premium and the fill is practically colored water. Manufactured by "BEI" (Brass Eagle Inc.) for $10.44 for 500 you get what you pay for. Just a heads up!
1/01/04: Happy New Year everyone! (OFF SEASON News moved to News Archive) Go easy on the bottle, the answer isn't in there, the answer is in the game. With that said, now you can go out drinking.

11/02/03: Reporting to you the Battle of Belfast! Wolf Spider came up to visit me at college and we played PB at a local field. The fighting started off in a village with room to room fighting and sniper fire from a 40ft bell tower soon spreading into the nearby fortified woods. They opposing force knew the lay of the land with superior numbers, making the fighting difficult as they stuck to a purely defense strategy. In the end the skills of the Pretorians won over the enemy, on average! Heh, it was a good time with experimental tactics of urban combat and even one speed ball game. Remember to keep sharp in the off season. ~Barbarossa
9/25/03: Ahh the 'easy' life of the off season, hope school is going well for everyone. The Forum, through inactivity was deleted by Aimoo. Fine with me, it was a lame system anyway.

7/13/03: Our first match and a WIN! 8 games played over 3 hours leaving PE: 7 and TB: 1. Vistors, TB had one man over PE as well as some great shooters and superior fire power.
