January 17, 2026 at White River Paintball — a prestige-format magfed contest with secret commanders, live FSR caches, and awards on the line.

This was not a normal scenario day. Teams took the field under Shadow Commanders whose identities were revealed only on game day. Every squad was tested across shifting missions, surprise faction interventions, and on-field scrambles for live First Strike caches that could swing the match in real time.

Two commanders led their factions, but nobody knew who they were until the whistle. Wildcard forces entered at chosen times to disrupt, assist, or destroy — they could not be bribed, negotiated with, or predicted.

Awards included a limited-run skelly patch (participants only, no reprints), honors for the player who elevated their squad, and a menace award for the operator who refused to quit. Coyote staff photography ran all day — portraits at staging and highlight stills at photos.coyoteforce.com.

Rentals were Planet Eclipse EMF100 markers with CF20 magazines on First Strike 13ci HPA. Masks and vests were CRBN. Neutral “place as needed” was available if you did not want to pick a faction at registration.
