Al's been super busy over the last couple of weeks sorting out the new GFH website. We've amazingly already outgrown the blog and I can't believe what he has achieved with the new site in such a small space of time! It takes the GFH to a whole new level and will be going live TODAY!!!!
Stay tuned and watch this space for an update as soon as we unleash the beast!

BITBURG FIELD LAYOUT
The Millennium has just upped the field layout for the Bitberg German Masters event. Perfect timing so all the fields that are training at the weekend can get on it early as the event is only on the 24th - 26th of next month.
It seems to follow the current PSP trend of no large back centre bunker and has opted to put a small cake there just to make those big back player curse... DAMN YOU!!! I kinda like this though as from what we saw at the last PSP and Millennium, and from the word we're hearing back from the MAO field layout practices, these sort of fields are super aggressive. And that my friends is what we here at GFH HQ are all about!
Other tasty bits on the field are the 4 D-side bags that are set up so there's a line straight down the tape. This should make for some awesome gun fighting and bumping up action, and probably a few good bunkering moves to boot! The snake looks pretty good and is more or less nicking the MAO layout with its 50 bag. Once the snake charmers get into that their are gonna be G's dropping all over the place as either they're gonna start feasting or all the guns are gonna turn and the D-side can bring the pain!
Either tape looks pretty decent, but I've a feeling the snake could be the dominant one with all those mini M's and then the bag. Lets see how weekend practices go and whether the teams that play it are loving the setup....

DAILY PUMP
So while Al's busy with the new website design I guess I'd better get on with it and post some more ballin footage.....
A lot of you probably keep hearing us both go on about the CPPS. Well it's our main UK league, and is head and shoulders above any other UK league we've ever played in. Last event we were impressed with how professional the whole thing was, and you'll be glad to know that the guys over at OKPBTV have got the whole thing on film for your viewing pleasure.
The footage is of all the different brackets so there are a lot of different levels of play but you can see that everyone really brought their game! The Elite division is where it's at though and damn where some of those games good to watch.
Anyway, enough from me. Enjoy.....

PSP MAO FIELD UP
The PSP just upped pics of the Mid Atlantic Open field, and it's another crazy one!
There is a back centre this time, but it's not one that the larger back players have been praying for....It's a small cake! Looks like no one is gonna be stacking people up in that for delayed breakouts so maybe this I'd gonna be another aggressive field?
The D-side is looking pretty good too with plenty options. There's even a row of stand up cans just infield of the D's to block a few lanes, or maybe even nip into for the more adventurous players?!
Snake side is a bit different as there are some good stop off points at the mini race's, but the 50 D is gonna freak some of the snake boys out! It's on the wrong tape!!! Ha, sure they'll figure it out, but one things for sure, once they get into that point every gun on the field is gonna turn onto them!
Some other interesting bits are dotted about, and I wonder if more people are gonna take advantage of the centre race this time. Only a few teams used it to their advantage in Dallas, but when they did, it seemed to work real good. What do you kit think? Any crazy breakouts or plans that come to mind? Drop us a comment and let us know your top plays...

BAG OF NERVES?
It's almost time. It really is. Just two days to go before the GFH make the first event of the year and as pumped and excited as I am, the 'paintball nerves' have just kicked in yo. C'mon, you all know EXACTLY what I mean.
What is it with paintball nerves? I mean we aren't scared of getting shot, we aren't scared of winning or losing so why do we get those feelings before an event? Some say its just pure adrenalin, you brain is working overtime getting you all worked up and that chemical reaction has to do something to your body. Others say it IS to do with failure. No one wants to be the guy shot on the break every point, or the guy that's bunkered outta the snake or d-side, or the guy who didn't shoot anyone for five points straight. And this doubt has an effect on your body. Either way its your brain going crazy with scenarios and your body paying the price.
So as I sit on the train, about to start a busy day at work I'm already preparing myself for the odd moment of 'paintball nerves' throughout my Friday and I'll be honest...I LOVE IT!!!!
