Editing North v South (section)

=== Expansion ===

During the 2000s and 2010s, North v South expanded into a major gathering for recreational paintball players from across Britain and overseas.

The event was held at military training facilities, allowing organisers to accommodate large numbers of participants across extensive woodland and open terrain.

A 2014 event report by Mayhem Paintball recorded approximately 1,800 participants, with the main battle taking place on Sunday. The event also featured transport buses moving players between different areas of the battlefield.[3]

The 2015 festival took place from 1 to 3 May at the Defence Training Estate in Swynnerton, Staffordshire.

That year's programme included the Evasion Night Challenge, a UK versus international players' scenario game and the principal North v South battle, which followed a fictional viral outbreak storyline.[4]
