Reviewed by Alexander Rolfe, Technical Services Librarian, George Fox University, Newberg, ORThis DVD captures the spirt of paintball by bringing the viewer into a weekend competition hosted by West Point cadets. This competition is more elaborate than most, with small tanks, artillery, and plenty of interesting terrain. There is footage of the battles, strategy meetings, and interviews with several participants. The video is very well produced, and serves as a great introduction to paintball, but its educational uses may be few. Recommended for recreation and leisure studies programs and public libraries.
