Our legal team challenged the editorial team to combat by paintball, and a date was duly set for the match. Full of nervous excitement, but quietly confident thanks to a battlefield and tactics assessment and briefing by Captain Clarence Lee of the Singapore Armed Forces, we turned up to do battle. Fear increased all-round as we were given a demonstration of the punitive speed/force of the paintball guns. The owners were proud of their new high velocity equipment, freshly delivered.
Under a blazing sun, my legal squad went first, taking our positions at the far end of the field, and squinting through our face masks. At the whistle, we ran to fulfill our prearranged goals. Dodging incoming pellets, I made it to the line marking no man's land, and proceeded to nail a dozen or so opponents. Best of all, I hit many of them a second and a third time as they re-entered the arena at too casual a pace.
Alas the heaven's opened up and the game was cut short at the halfway point. We were drawn, though would have been the victors but for one point lost to a technicality. In any event, it was clear that legal dominated the field, and were a force to be feared...
