WYANDOTTE, OK – September 27, 2007 – For Immediate Release

The Hellions, led by Lonnie "Grendel" Colson have decided to join the 6th Fallschirmjager for 2008. The group is an Elite Tactical Scenario Paintball Team based out of Chicago, IL and organized under the United States Army Special Forces Operational Detachment-Alpha Team concept. The unit specializes in Direct Action Missions, Special Reconnaissance and Unconventional Warfare and holds many MVT and MVP titles for games in the upper midwest. The team is sponsored by Tippmann, Empire and more recently, Hammerhead.

Three members of the group had made D-Day 2007 playing with the 101st. After experiencing first hand the carnage that the 6th Fallschirmjager created of the Allied Airborne, they had decided to abandon the Allies for a life of Jagermeister, Beer Maidens and brats in the 6th Fallschirmjager-Regiment of the Axis forces.

For 2008, the Team anticipates bringing at least two full Operational Detachements - ODA 133 and ODA 153. These two units, along with two other Chicago based teams will fill out the Regiment's 2nd Battalion. Lonnie has agreed to take overall command of this "Chicago" based Battalion and training along with operational planning has already started.
