SEASON II CLAN WARS GETTING SERIOUS
Clan Wars season 2 Finals are
nearly here!!
Well our second season of
Clan Wars state league is
nearly coming to a end and
into Finals time! With so many
teams fighting for positions
over the last couple of rounds,
this is set to have some cracking games as it has seemed to
be the case all season. With
the Battle of First place coming
down to round 8 against a
couple of teams who have
played each other enough for
top spot SKILLED vs Shadow
Stalkers (formerly The Pros)
we also have everyone from 3rd
to 6th place playing each other
and all teams are within strike
distance of each to try and get
that top 4 finish and a chance
to play in the Finals.
It has been great watching
teams develop their strategies,
the new teams too this season
improve every week and the
friendships and fun we are all
forming.
We have been very lucky this
season also to be using SatR
which gives us all the stats
which we have been collecting
and in a First at Laser Strike
we will be having Awards giving
for the: HIT ASSASSIN,v
CHAMPION (most hits), KILL
CONFIRMED CHAMPION
(Most Kills), SPAWN KING
( The player who has had the
most Respawns) very interesting this award as it definitely
will not be going to the worst
player as most people probably
think that it would and the best
one of all MVP ( most valuable
player based on hit and kills
total minus Respawns).
We were also lucky
enough to finally get
our u14’s Cadets
league up and running and as we go
into the finals series
there we have 4
great teams battling
it out for the first
ever Cadets Champions. Redbacks, Ka
- Blamo, Assassins
Crew and Assault
Clan will fight it out
over 2 weeks to see who can
become the Champs. Also
remember these names because in a few years with some
experience under their belt
these teams will be coming up
to state league and be quality
sides to watch out for!!!

Special points of
interest:
* It’s been a busy time for
Healesville Laser Strike
since our inception back in
January, we’ve made a lot of
new and exciting changes
and everyone here is still
learning something new and
useful every time we step
out on the Battlefield. In
just the past few weeks
alone we have added some
very snazzy new equipment
to our arsenal, crowned
our very first Clan Wars
champions and have established ourselves as birthday
party experts.
* Birthday Parties are one
of the most common occurrences at Hedgend Maze, so
it was no surprise that
Laser Strike quickly gained a
lot of popularity in this area.
We’ve got a great program
down here where you get a
full session of fun filled
Laser Strike as well as an
opportunity to feed your
hungry faces to keep you
going out on the battlefield.
* School Holidays are a big
time for us here at Healesville, and they are once
again approaching. We will
be open every day of the
School Holidays (July 2-16)
so make sure to book your
group soon to avoid disappointment and you can
make a day of it by visiting
both Hedgend Maze and
Laser Strike.

It’s Mission Complete For Healesville’s First Ever Clan Wars
Back in March we started a
new venture, Clan Wars came
to Healesville for the very first
time.
It was a season where everyone learnt a lot and most importantly, had a lot of fun.
Everyone involved quickly became friends, but once on the
battlefield they had the adrenaline pumping and competed
ferociously to take each other
down. We had people who had
never played before sign up as
well as those with some previous Clan Wars experience
under their belt. And we were
very excited to sport an all
girls team, Charlie’s Angels,
who were never to be underestimated by the boys.
As the weeks went by we even
picked up a new team along
the way and were then running
3 games a week, an excellent
effort for our debut season.
The finals series provided
some absolutely nail biting
finishes and really showed the
evenness of our competition.
In the end Set to Kill narrowly
edged out Faze to be crowned
our first ever Clan Wars
Champions!
The master mind of Blade is
always trying to come up with
new ideas to change the game
in a new and creative way. Just
recently Blade and I collabo-
rated and had a great new idea
called Crazy Clans. In the off
season of traditional Clan
Wars all our members have a
chance to get together each
week to play with new players,
bring along friends and of
course play and create some
brand new games. If you’re
interested please contact Blade
for more information and registration, contact details can be
found on the Hedgend website.
It’ll be a lot of fun for everyone
involved so give
it a crack.

New Technology NOW Gunning Them Down At Healesville
It had been a long wait for
everyone. The clans, the refs
and everyone in between were
pumped up for our new arrivals. And just two weeks ago
they finally arrived at the doorstep; the new guns were here!
The new S*A*T*R technology
is a complete game changer.
They have a fresh slick design,
appropriate for everyone to
use and most importantly for
our players, instant hit feedback and detailed statistics. No
more frustration from whether
or not you actually hit that guy
diving through the bushes, the
sweet sound of “casualty” rings
through your ears as you pick
off your enemies with deadly
precision. Our Laser Strike
world has completely ex-
panded and our players now
have more and more possibilities to play the game they love
in a fresh and exciting way.

New Technology Set To Land… SATR
The exciting wait draws closer
as The Basin field awaits the
arrival of it’s new upgraded
guns along with new gaming
technology.
The new technology is called
SATR. SATR is set to transform the old style of Laser
Strike game play.
The SATR system enables real
time feedback for every player.
No longer will a player be unsure on whether they have hit
or killed their opponent. The
SATR system will now give
each player a sound effect in
the form of voice feedback
being either “casualty” (wound/
hit) , “kill confirmed” (kill), or
“all ready dead” (shooting a
player that is already dead).
The new SATR system is so
advanced that voice activation
can be turned on or off. If the
voice activation is turned off
the red-dot scope will flash a
number of times to let the
player know whether they
have “hit or killed” their oppo-
nent.
The SATR system has a grand
total of a WHOPPING 69
different weapons to choose
from. The 69 weapons choices
can be broken down into gun
classes including machine guns,
rifles/carbines, sub machine
guns and hand guns,
But wait there’s more… You
wanted it… BABY, you got it..
The SATR system also provides each player with their
game statistics. These statistics
are shown on the display of
each weapon. The statistics
include, hit points, current
ammunition in magazine, replacement magazines, hits
made, kills made, number of re
-spawns, and accuracy percentage. The display will also show
each player the time remaining
left in that current game.
The SATR system also simulates recoil by powering down
the red-dot scope for a short
interval for each shot. SATR
PICTURE ABOVE:
The Medic Box which will
come with the new upgraded
SATR system.
Be the first to try the new
system. Book Early.
will also use medic boxes at
teams bases enabling players to
do their own re-spawns or top
up ammunition when needed.
Mysterious Soldiers To Represent Victoria at Nationals
Captain Snyper and his men
Mysterious Soldiers are set to
represent Victoria in this years
Australian National Clan Wars.
Mysterious Soldiers battled it
out with the top two clans
from Healesville, Warrnambool and The Basin fields. Six
clans went head to head for
the right to become this years
Victorian representative clan.
The format is set up as the
same as the national event.
Players competed over two
fields. One field in the bush the
other over an urban inflatable
set-up. Nothing could stop the
awesome display of form from
the Mysterious Soldiers boys.
They proved too dominant and
virtually untouchable all day.
Mysterious Soldiers are the
current defending champions
of Australia. In just a few
weeks time we will find out
whether the boys are back to
back national champions. We
are proud of the lads and wish
them all the best this year. Go
get em boys… “Kill em all”...

PLAYER REVIEW
MERLIN
FROM THE BASIN
MERLIN
Volume 1, Issue 2
Newsletter Date May-Aug 2012
PLAYER PROFILE - MERLIN - THE BASIN
Q.) How old are you?
24... I'm a little like Robin Williams in
"Jack" though, because I look about 30.
Q.) How long have you been playing
Laser Strike for?
Well I first got into the game by accident at about 18-19yo so about 5 years.
I was looking for a job and heard there
was one going at Laser Strike. I applied
and got the gig; the rest is history.
My colleagues became good mates and I
got hooked on the game - haven't
looked back since
Q.) What’s your favourite field to play
at?
I've been lucky enough to play at a few.
The field at the Perth Nationals was
amazing! Built on an old show ground
with a big castle in the middle (even if
we didn't get to play in there that day).
Geelong and Philip Island's fields are
heaps of fun too and I'll always have a
soft spot for the thick bush at the Basin.
We're lucky at Laser Strike to have a
great variety of fields to play at
Q.) What is your favourite weapon and
why?
No question, the Scorpion. It's the best
compromise between range and rate of
fire and is nice and compact.
Q.) Are you a camo or gillie suit guy?
Camo
Q.) Do you prefer to play public session
or clan wars?
Q.) Who will win the nationals this
year?
Mysterious Soldiers
Q.) If you had anywhere in the world to
play Laser Strike where would it be?
I reakon Venice. I could do a drive by
on a Gondola!
Q.) What are your goals this year with
Laser Strike?
To help Freeza get to every game...
Public sessions are great but nothing
beats the competition and rivalry in clan
wars. It's a great feeling to work as a
team with your mates to bring down
the opposition.
Spirit come out in the crowd as we
cheered the boys home. There was
soooo much pressure on the guys and
I'll never forget the look on their faces
when they won.
Q.) How many Australian Nationals
have you been to?
I refereed the Bush field at the 2nd
Nationals in Gembrook. Then I went to
the QLD nationals the next year with
"FEAR" where we won the urban inflatable field and came second overall. I
only played one game the next year at
the Basin nats because I was busy with
other stuff and then I played in Perth
with the "Dog Soldiers"
Q.) How do you enjoy working on
Laser Strike FM as a co-host?
I love seeing how the clan wars competition is growing and hearing from
players at the other fields. I really feel
like I'm starting to get to know some of
these other teams
Q.) What’s your greatest achievement
at Laser Strike?
Every time I shoot Weapon... No seriously I think winning the Urban field at
the QLD nats was something I'll never
forget.
Q.) What’s a stand out moment for you
in Laser Strike?
hmmm.... Man, in 5 years there have
been heaps, and some of them have
even been skirmish related. There's the
time that guy let his hand brake off and
his car rolled down the embankment at
Mooroolbark. Megatron's bucks party,
the world wars, helping open
the Philip Island field, nationals!
I think the Mysterious Soldiers becoming Australian Champions for the first
time at the Gembrook nationals. It was
the first time we really felt the Victorian
Q.) What hot tip when
playing Laser Strike
could you give us?
When playing against
Weapon, sit and wait when the ground starts
rattling you know he's
charging in on a suicide
run.
PICTURE:
Merlin Far Left, With
His Clan FEAR After
Winning Urban Nationals 2009 In QLD
Q.) What’s it like working with the star
studded Weapon on Laser Strike FM?
Have you ever sat next to a hairless
chimpanzee with a hyperactivity disorder? I do every Thursday night....
Q.) Who is the greatest player you have
witnessed at Laser Strike?
Snyper... He doesn't know this but I
have pictures of him on my bedroom
walls. In all seriousness, his brothers are
both pretty good too but Snyper is like
the Don Bradmen or Babe Ruth of
Laser Skirmish in Australia at the moment
Q.) If you could have any players to
form a dream team clan with who
would be the other four?
Snyper, Dragon, Freeza, Blackhawk and
Wacko Jacko (but don't tell Wacko
cause I'll never hear the end of it).
