Siegfried Line The Siegfried Line is Inland Empire's newest playing field. Patterned after Germany's WW II Westwall line, this field challenges all players to exercise close combat skills and careful tactical maneuvering. As described by Wikipedia, the original Siegfried line was a line of defensive forts and tank defenses built by Germany as a section of the Hindenburg Line in northern France during World War I. However, in English, the term "Siegfried Line" more commonly refers to the similar World War II defensive line, built during the 1930s, opposite the French Maginot Line, which served a corresponding purpose. The Germans themselves called this the Westwall, but the Allies renamed it after the First World War line. The Siegfried Line was a defense system stretching more than 630 km (390 mi) with more than 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and tank traps. It went from Kleve on the Dutch/German border, along the western border of the old German Empire, to as far south as the town of Weil am Rhein on the Swiss border. More with propaganda in mind than for any strategic reason, Adolf Hitler planned the line beginning in 1936 and had it built between 1938 and 1940. (This was after the Nazis had broken the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties by remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936.)



	Bandits Tombtown Our newest playing field, offering a variety of challenges for every paintball fan.


Urban Chaos The nature of modern warfare is house-to-house fighting. Inland Empire offers a safe, paintball-centric way to experience the difficulties of this kind of conflict.


	Civil War Field In contrast with the urban warfare nature of modern combat, the American Civil War was the first major conflict to evolve into trench warfare. Battle engineers and high command officers did not yet fully understand the tactics or implications, and some strategies still deployed a "line 'em up and mow 'em down" approach, but mobility and barricades became the dichotomy of methods employed in this era. Inland Empire recreates the revetment style of this divisive conflict in its Civil War playing field.


Airball Our airball field offers unique treats for the airball players. This is one reason the ASG group recently joined with Inland Empire.

Forts and Trenches Numerous forts and trenches dot the landscape at Inland Empire.
