Since there are more options available then on previous neo games i wanted to simplify the vote.
I'd like us to first vote on whether Red Dawn oct 3rd should be the 3rd neo game.
reason for this is because you are really voting on 3 topics that affect you in the short and long term
1. section 8 running the game (event class)
2. moving the neo game to synergy (just for this particular event)
3. the date
My personal preference would favor the red dawn game as it's going to be on par with an event vs an open game. The cost is the same and it's a great new field that has cqb and woods. Also, cleveland is in need of a field and this would be a great way to kick it off. I feel we should be proactive in helping eachother whether it be akron pittsburgh toledo youngstown or cleveland. Cleveland needs a hand to get back into the swing. here is part of the story line.
Section 8 Mercs with the help of Team Shadow Legion and Recon Team Anaconda are commemorating the Silver Anniversary of the MGM Cold War film: "Red Dawn", with an airsoft event at Synergy Paintball Challenge in N. Eaton Township, Ohio on Saturday, October 3rd. - An open event for 16 and older. Look for it soon on the AO Events Calender.
Red Dawn is set along an alternate time line in 1984. The Soviet Union and it's Central American Allies, after the demise of NATO, have invaded the United States. Occupying the American heartland, Communist forces run re-education camps, police under martial law, and terrorize the citizens. In one town a local resistance group - The Wolverines (named after it's school sports mascot), wage a guerrilla war against the occupiers. Their initial success demoralizes the regular forces and Soviet Spetsnaz are called in to make quick work of the Wolverines.- More details are in the event posting.
A lot of you were born after this movie was released........ probably even after the Cold War ended. It may seem ridiculous now, but at the time (cheesy acting aside) it was plausible. Either way, It makes for a great event and there is a surprise plot twist thrown in the op to make it more fun and interesting. Hopefully people in the know will chime in and vouch for me on that. The best way to make up your mind is to watch the movie.
We are also offering for this op to be the next NEO 3 Month Open game. I realize it must be voted on, but I thought I would throw it out there to make it easier. Regardless, this event is a go.
edit. if this vote were to fail we'd post up another with just dates for the standard deal.
