This is a milsim event. Please familiarize yourself with the ammo/mag restrictions and the medic rules.

Scenario Storyline:
Nearly four months ago, the Republic of Southern Rhumaandi was torn in two when civil war broke out between the two main political factions, the United Liberal Party (ULP), and the National United Reform Coalition (NURC). In an overwhelming victory, ULP forces decimated the NURC army and pushed them out of the area. They also uncovered several components of a weapon in the ruins of what used to be Operational Force INC. This weapon has been code-named "Project Bermuda". Their scientists have been reverse engineering the pieces and members of NURC fear that they are close to unleashing a weapon that could seal their hold on Southern Rhumaandi. Knowing that action must be taken, the NURC forces have been preparing to once again face the ULP in battle with the hopes of gaining control of Bermuda.

Ammo/Mag Restrictions:
Ammo limitation: 600 rnds. (10 standards, or 20 stars)
Support gunners: 1 drum mag limit.
Reloading will be allowed at HQ only.
Hicaps are not allowed.

Medic Rules:
The medic rules are similar to the ones used in OP: Espial Justice, but are more advanced. Once hit you must act out your "wound".
If you are hit in a limb, you can no longer use that limb until a medic heals you. If you do not get healed by a medic within 5 minutes, you will "bleed to death" and must respawn.
If hit in the chest or torso, you are combat ineffective. You may not continue fighting until healed by a medic. If you do not get healed by a medic within 3 minutes, you will "bleed to death" and must respawn.
If hit in the head/neck, you are dead. Act out your "death", lay for one minute, and then respawn.

Additional Notes:
As of now lunch will consist of hotdogs and various beverages.
Please bring a stopwatch to monitor your bleedout times.

[Darkstar]

This event is a joke, right? Like, everyone will show up and there really won't be an event that day??? There will just be a speaker box screaming "JUST KIDDING!!! APRIL FOOLS!!!!"

LoL, just had to comment on that one! :D

Darkstar out.

Darkstar out.

I was thinking the same thing. Especially since the location was not stated (I assume FranBar).

[CptGooch]

I think you can count Section 8 out on this one. Price to to high and you dont say where it is.

[wormyxl]

camper will be there as long as its not farther than fran bar(from cincinnati)

[Chapman]

wouldn't miss this one for anything, I'll talk to the rest of my team to see who can make it.

[Hillslam]

If the minimum age is 12 I'm in. Not because I'm twelve. I just like shooting twelve-year-olds. :)


KIDDING! April Fools. (In Feb)

KIDDING! April Fools. (In Feb)

Great line.

I assume this is going to be at the "special place" we have been talking about?

[Enoch247]

No folks this is not a joke.

And for those who are worried about location, let me set your mind at ease. We have not yet set the location because we are looking at two new fields at the moment, but talks are still in progress. Should both fall through, fear not there are still the usual airsoft fields in this area.

As far as Franbar goes. In case the above hasn't made it obvious. This event probably won't be at Franbar. Franbar just does not fit our needs and storyline as well as we would like.

[icedragonx]

I'll consider making an appearance.

[Son of Liberty]

Any way a couple of 14 and 13 year olds can come?

[Inferno]

Sorry, no can do. The age limit is 16.

If we can get it set up in time, yes. Thats why it's still pending.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on the price. At OP: Espial Justice, the price was $20 and we had no complaints about it being too high. This time around will be much better planned with better props. Plus you get food. :D

As far as the location goes, it will either be in Tipp City, or just south of Columbus. We'll let you know ASAP.

[Traverse]

Depending on where it is, I'm gonna try and make it out.

[monkey_slap]

just here to encourage you all that this is not something to miss. remember that future events will be invite only and if you want to make a good impression on us, then id suggest you try and come out.

and yes, food is provided

:D

$20 for a day of airsoft and food?? I would say thats more than fair.

[King]

Oh yes, oh yes! I'm totally there for this one. Loved the first one. The 91st WILL be there again...with more members than just 3, mind you. And keep that Dragunov at home! j/k

[Phil]

Sorry got musicals to do that day

and im 15

and i probably won't have 20 dollars

[Hexonal]

Plague will try to make it out, We really had a blast lastime.

As far as $20 goes, one of my teammates ate like 15 hotdogs lastime, so, the money isent just for you, but also random fat kids.

[strikers_blade]

If I am there, I will control the hotdog checkpoint again :mad:

:p

This must have been the reason for your "sudden heartattack" in the last game.

[torch4456]

If this OP isn't too far from Youngstown, Trigger Happy would make an effort to be there.

[red_spetsnaz]

I believe gooch meant to say that the price isn't too high.

My .02


Oh yeah, and I'll be there.

Red_Spetsnaz

[monkey_slap]

just to point out some more highlights:

-you thought helicopters were awesome? well weve got even more in store this game
-remember, this is the last before our events are invite only! prove to us that you enjoy this sport
-price isnt that bad people, food payed for
-new location. no more fran bar, that place is done

seriously, once registration opens you will need to get your spot. this is beyond a backyard game.

[BLACK SE7EN]

If it ends up south of columbus i'm there, where is tipp city? I missed the first one at fran barr because i screwed my back the weekend before the game. I will bring 2 to 4 team mates too.

[strikers_blade]

Yahoo and many other search engine have a wonderful tool called "map" ;)

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?addr=&csz=tipp+city%2C+oh&country=us&new=1&name=&qty=

[BLACK SE7EN]

Smartass, Thats not that far.

[Inferno]

Ok, update. The event will be held at a new field located in Beaver, OH. It is south of Columbus and east of Cincinnatti. Directions will be posted soon.

[BLACK SE7EN]

Wow, my team is 20 min from beaver. Need any help? I think it's safe to say all of us will attend.

[Armyguy]

Does the $20 include gas money? :D Looking forward to this one

[IceKiller]

hah im on the banner wew! i'll be giving autographs at the event ;)

[Falcon1324]

Doesn't sound to bad I'll talk it over but I'm sure we'll go

[Falcon1324]

I'll talk it over with the team but I'm sure we'll go

[strikers_blade]

I created the event on www.airsoftevents.com Unfortunately, I did not modify the code for the registration yet....

So for now, please DO NOT WORRY about the BF veteran thingy and the radio rental, they are both voided for this event.

[cottrelli]

I'm also pretty sure the waiver link should be taken out.

[BLACK SE7EN]

I clicked on the event and tryed to register but it takes you to blind fury's register. Where is the location in beaver?

[strikers_blade]

Remember guys, the "BF Veteran" and the Radio option at the bottom will be removed during the day. It is some hard code that I put there and I need to get it out.

ALTHOUGH, you are still registering on OP Bermuda when you are in the THAT event menu. So Black Seven, if you look in the roster, you will find your name as well as Devildog-6

[BLACK SE7EN]

I just noticed you are putting on both events. So do we send the money to the same place as op blind fury?

[strikers_blade]

Black Seven,

I did not get much details on the payment except that it is 20$. The event organizer is "Inferno" and I will make sure to get check with him.....I just need another 10minutes :D

[Inferno]

I am working on the payment details and should have them posted later today.

Thanks for getting that done Blade.

[rifleman]

sounds good i may be there

[Falcon1324]

So an exact address and directions to the field are yet to come got it. However if we register online we have to be there by 9:00 right or do we still have to be there for chrono and resitration. Sorry, first match I'm registering online for so could somebody help me out here.

[monkey_slap]

you will need to be there at 9am for a chrono for sure. we will also need payment too, so you will have to check in. that is, of course, unless you pay online which im unaware if there is any option for that as of now.

[BLACK SE7EN]

So it's ok to pay the day of? No hi-cap, is that just no wnd-up's

[monkey_slap]

Originally posted by BLACK SE7EN

as far as i know, paying the day of is perfectly fine

hi caps usually are mags that have more than 150 round capacity. and yes, they usually are wind up

[BLACK SE7EN]

Wow ok, i asked because the rules only mentioned stars and standards. My sniper can borrow a MP-5 with 4 stars and 2 110 rd mags (that do not wind-up) and i'm finding out so he dose'nt come out for nothing.

[Inferno]

If you would like to prepay you can do so through paypal. Send the $20 payment to aydoak@hotmail.com. Make sure you put OP: Bermuda Payment in the subject line.

The field address is 1727 Limerick Rd, Jackson, OH 45640.

BLACK SE7EN, your friend with the MP5 will be fine.

[King]

Now wait a sec...I keep seeing the location of the field changing between Beaver and Jackson Ohio. Which on is it FOR SURE? I'm guessing Jackson, cause that was the latest post, but it still says Beaver on airsoftevents. I'm just clearing it up, and I don't mean to be a pain.

[Inferno]

The field owner originally said it was by Beaver. A little later I found out that it is technically in Jackson. The two towns are about 10 miles apart and the field is right between the two. Sorry about the confusion.

The field makes springfield seem small. There are large hills, mostly wooded, some open fields, swamps, a creek, a few cliffs, a huge interconnecting cave structure. I doubt we'll use the whole field, because everyone would be lost, but we'll definitely try to incorporate all the best parts.

[BLACK SE7EN]

On the roster two of my guy's are listed as no BDU's. They will be in woodland BDU's. I have digital and regular and will wear whatever to stay with my team. I hope this is the first of many games in this area.

[strikers_blade]

Inferno,

I will modify the AEV information as such:

Location: 1727 Limerick Rd, Jackson, OH 45640.
payment: Paypal for 20$ or at gate. account: aydoak@hotmail.com

[Inferno]

Thanks for updating that Blade.

BLACK SE7EN, we will be using armbands, so you can wear whatever bdu's you want.

[Inferno]

We have pics of the field. Not the greatest. We should be getting some better ones soon, but hopefully this will get your attention. Field Pics (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4446002109&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fse arch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.co m%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D44 46002109%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1)

[x-statix]

:eek: That looks amazing. That definitely makes it worth the drive. Have you been inside there yet?

[Duo Chan]

Holy god, I'm not missing that!

:D I don't care if it's my parents anniversary (yes, they were married on April Fools), I'm going.

[Dante]

Inferno and I took a trip down there and all i can say is WOW. no offense to the Strikers but this field is like Springfield on steriods. there is a mix of caves, cliffs, woodland(with and without trails), swamps, creeks, ect. i was blown away with the cave system as soon as i stepped into them. you guys will love it down there.

truly looks like a most amazing piece of land, if I do say so myself!

If it's not to bold to ask... Who's actually selling the land, one of the event hosts? It would be a shame to see such a wonderful field leave the airsoft community. Hm...

[Inferno]

The current field owner is selling it. This may be the last event we can hold under his ownership. If it does sell I will definitely be talking to the new owners to see if we can continue to host games there. I'll keep everyone updated as the situation develops.

[Violator]

I must say this field looks sexy. Stormblade might have to make an appearance at this one.

[Armyguy]

Caves are a new one in my book, looks great.

[THX]

That looks awesome and I dont want to miss this one. Are we playing in the caves though? Anyone else feel a little bad about leaving hundreds of thousands of plastic BBs in something that is hundreds of thousands of years old?

[Dutton]

Simple solution to a guiltu conscience, use bio-degradable bb's. Even if others don't use them, you can still know you did your part and used them.

[Dante]

no worries THX the caves are man-made. the placed looks like the mined sandstone and limestone from it.

[raptor8390]

holy crap fellas i am impressed with the new location. i can't wait to play. oh and by the way for all the people questioning prices and what not. believe me when i say you will not be dissappointed in the game and you may just feel guilty for not paying more. the 97th has put a lot of effort and creativity into taking airsoft to some new levels and their events are not something to be missed. remember the golden rule, you get what you pay for. count me in.

[HardLock]

I was talking to Blade today about this event while prepping field for BF3, and I think he talked me into going. See you there and look forward to playing with you guys again. :)

[monkey_slap]

it was enjoyable having you strikers guys coming out to play at espial justice. hope more of you can come

(and not have heartattacks :rolleyes: )

[Atomic]

How firm are the rules on "acting out wounds"? I would love to come out to play, but I will pass if that is what is expected. I am more than willing to put the red flag on my head, but the play-acting is over the top for me.

No offense, but that is not my thing.

Smart-*** comments from the peanut gallery need not be posted, game administrator only.

[BlackHawk97]

No, it is not heavily enforced, we basicly ask that of you to give more of a real feel to the entire thing. It is more realistic to be in a fire fight and hear people screaming and yelling, the sheer caos of the situation adds to the milsim aspect. But if acting isn't your thing, we won't hold it against you.

[Oddjob]

I'm looking forward to this. It will be my first organized event. So be nice to the newb.

[Slaya360]

To add to BlackHawk's comment, not everyone rolls around on the ground screaming when they get shot. You can be the guy that can keep his cool or goes into shock as your dying.

Thanks. I will be there, and will do my best to make your game a success.

[monkey_slap]

i wasnt an official on the team when i attended espial justice so i can give you first hand feedback on the playing out of your hit. ITS AMAZING. i can remember sneaking up through a crawl way hearing my allies yelling and shouting in the distance. i can also remember getting hit, screaming out and falling. i then sat moaning and a medic came and dragged me through the snow to safety to patch me up. these sort of things just take you out of the "ow that hurt, im hit" mindset to "oh ****! im not letting my friends go down! oo-rah!". its a huge rush and now that im part of this team, im hoping to further propel this type of gameplay.

[D-Boy]

I believe Phalanx will be there.

[Lone Gunman]

Hello All

Just to let you know a contingent of 6MM Militia will be showing.

Also I would like to know for sure if we are using the mine. If so then this will be totaly awsome.

See Ya there.

Oh yeah, and I'll be there.

Red_Spetsnaz

That and my gun only works with the 250 high-caps. So I couldn't play anyway.

[BlackHawk97]

I believe we are using the mine tunnels. Some of us are going to the field this weekend to scope it out and play a few small games to get a feel for key spots of the field. Always a pleasure to play with both Phalanx and 6mm. Glad you guys can show up.

Is it o.k. to come and scout the field before game day? I'd like to check it out this weekend.

[Dante]

i would think it would be for the better if you didnt come out this weekend. it would give you an unfair advantage toward the other force. and we are still looking at it too. i will try to make a map for both forces when i head down this weekend.

[ajbsox]

Hey guys, i am new to airsoft. I currently have 2 KSC GBBs but no AEGs. Would it be worthwhile for me to show up at the event without an AEG (even if i didnt care if i was at a disadvantage)? Do u have to have camo and stuff to come or could i show up with jeans and a jacket? Also, :( I am only 15, but I have been called very mature for my age and i would be very willing to follow instructions and play properly (my birthday is in June anyways, so only 2 months off...)

[stewb_10]

man that field looks great.. quite a catch, hope you guys can hold on to it.. dont forget to keep us posted on that aspect.

Also, what is the field in Tipp City looking like, is it as promising as this one?

[Inferno]

Tipp City is a lot different from this field. Lots of small lakes/ponds, thick brush, woods, paths, less hills, etc.

[Chapman]

B.I.C. will be there no doubt...sparing another blizzard.

[Violator]

ajbsox, I don't want to burst your bubble here, but this appears to be a MILSIM event. I'll let you read up on what milsim is, but basically you should have camo. The guns don't matter as much, because what gun you use is always a matter of preference.

One of the organizers might want to officially answer your question, but I would suggest that a less formal game be your first as an introduction to airsoft.

[BlackHawk97]

Hey ajbsox, as much as I would like your first event to be a milsim one, you may want to take violaters advice on this. Also, we are pushing the 16 year old age limit on this event as well. After this event, the Bermuda series is going to be invite only, however the next event should be in July sometime, so you will be 16 by then. If you would like to attend one of the invite only games in July and the following events, just contact myself or Inferno, we are on the 97th, and we will set up a practice where you can come out and play with us before the event so we can make sure you are mature enough. My advice would be just get some camo's, save up for a decent aeg, and play in a few small events. I would advise going to the Strikers Op: Airsoft 103, it would be a good experiance for someone who is just getting into airsoft, and would allow you to experiance a relaxed game before you get right into the heavy mislim stuff. Well, I hope to see you at events in the future, and like I said, just contact myself or Inferno when you turn 16, and we will try and get you into some of the invite only's. Best of luck man.

[Inferno]

Just to let everyone know, camping will be allowed the night before. Just make sure you bring EVERYTHING you need. If you want to camp let me know ASAP.

[strikers_blade]

Just so you guys know, www.combatdepot.com will be on site so if you need bb, gas, mags, parts, etc, please email me at sales@combatdepot.com because I will not bring everything with me.....

[stewb_10]

great timing blade, i was just geting ready to ask that question..

also, is it dark in the tunnels or is there plenty of natural light?

wondering because i may need to rush the purchase of my tac light.. ;)

[BlackHawk97]

yes, a flashlight will help, alot.

[Inferno]

I would also suggest that you bring a compass and/or whistle, especially if you're not very good at land nav. The area we will be playing in is fairly simple to learn, but if you do manage to get lost, these woods can get confusing.

[BLACK SE7EN]

The 7 day forcast is not good. What happens if the weather is bad?

[stewb_10]

not good???

i see sunny and 66..

http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/45640?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

[BLACK SE7EN]

I hope your right. My search for the area on april the first is 62 with a 60% chance of showers.

[stewb_10]

jackson ohio, 66 degrees, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain (but on there almost everyday has a chance for rain..)

i hope im right too.. otherwise ill be frequenting those caves.. ;)

[mrmaxthe500th]

Is there a map of the field that could be obtained online. Also are como nets est or is that all to be discussed at the field?

[BlackHawk97]

We will est. communication at the field. Also, we will be playing rain or shine. And no, there is no map of the field, I think we are trying to obtain some for the commanders, but I don't know if that will be possable. Also, if you would like if you have the nice version of Google Earth that you pay for or you know someone that does, you may be able to get a map that way. I tryed however on the free version and it is not indepth, so you can print it out, but it will not help.

[monkey_slap]

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/monkey_slap/weatheropberm.jpg

Looks like we may be OK. But, like Blackhawk said if there is a problem it will be postponed.

[icedragonx]

I have a friend that may come and I am not sure if he has a BDU...so are they required? This will not be his first time playing airsoft.

[monkey_slap]

he will need a BDU

[BlackHawk97]

Pics (http://photobucket.com/albums/v95/Dante420/Jackson%20Field/?start=0)

Ok guys, a few more pics are up. These where taken this past weekend, and the 3 guys did camp out, and I guess it got pretty cold. So, if you are planning on camping out on Friday, make sure you bring everything you need. The food that will be provided on Sat. won't be available on Friday, so bring money for restaurants, or hotdogs to cook over campfires, etc.

[Dever]

Just moved to Ohio and am definately looking forward to this being my first Airsoft Ohio event. New photos look great!

I have just skimmed through the posts, so please forgive me if this has already been asked/answered... what is the situation on hydration? Not sure how primitive the location is so should we plan on packing a full day's worth of water for time in the field or will there be faucets/well water/fresh water streams etc?

[Storer50]

Blackhawk, let me know if u need me to bring hot dogs, firewood or anything else for camping

[BlackHawk97]

Dever, let me start by saying this will be a great event, especialy if you are looking for a true milsim experiance. As far as water goes, I have never been to the field myself, I have been kind of sick here lately, so haven't had time. I don't believe that there is running water, so you may want to bring some in a cooler or something, as far as pop and stuff goes, it will be provided the day of the event for lunch. Im sure that most of the streams are fairly cleen, if you have the aqua purifying tablets, they should be able to purify this water. I don't know if you read this part or not, but after Bermuda 1, the events go to invite only. If you are interested in attending any of the later events, please talk with us on the 1st about invitations. It is a great series, and only gets better as the events go on.

Storer50, um if you would like you could bring some hotdogs and stuff. I know we are set for the day of the event, but the night before we could have a hotdog feast:D, no but seriously,I know those of us who are staying are basicly just bringing our own food for that day. Um, I think as far as firewood goes, we are going to be using wood there, and will probably be showing up a little early to cut some for those who are camping out. We do appreciate the offer though.

Everyone, be prepared for one hell of a day. I have yet to see the field myself, but from pictures, and talking with the rest of the team who has been there, it will be absolutely amazing. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

[BLACK SE7EN]

We have a medic on our team. Is their anything a medic needs to bring to the event besides a stop watch? Also the medic is a woman so there is the question of restrooms.

[BlackHawk97]

Ohh, I see. Um no she doesn't need to bring anything, and concerning the restrooms, you are free to go into town during lunch and grab something to eat/drink/use restrooms there. I don't thing that there are any utilities at the field.

[john]

I see no highcaps allowed. And it says 600 round load 10 regs 20 los.

are mids aloud? and how many. I understand if they aren't being they hold as much as an mp5 highcap.

Thanks H

[BlackHawk97]

Ya mid's should be fine, you don't have to wind them and will still have to change them out. As long as you meet the 600rd limit, you will be fine. Also, if you have a mixture of lows and regs or or mids and regs or something like that, that will be fine, you must meet the 600rd limit though.

Also for everyone, the final call is, we will play rain or shine, and for those of you staying the night we will be camping in the caves, so we will have a solid roof over our heads, but you may still want a tent.
Also, I am working on bringing a coleman propane stove, so if you have something you want to bring friday night and cook, I should be able to cook it.

[Dante]

there should be a porta-john on site. everyone should bring a stop watch to count bleed out time, not just the medics. i would also advise everyone to bring a compass and a whistle just incase you get lost and cant find your way back. bring water for all day because there is no fresh water supply and i would highly advise not drinking stream water unless you have purifying tablets. as stated before hotdogs are provided but if you dont like hotdogs please bring your own food becuase the last time i was in jackson i did not see any fast food resturants.

[osok]

Good lord man, must have been a long time since you were in Jackson. The whole south end of town is nothing but fast food. And it has been 6 years since I was there.

[Dante]

i got lost trying to find 35 in jackson 3 weeks ago. i guess i didnt make it to that area of Jackson. thanks for the info

I think you mean "don't exceed the 600rd limit," you may certainly have less that 600rds if you want.

[john]

Thanks for the reply.

Let me also confirm no loose ammo including click loaders? Or do these come with you but only used at designated areas.

Thanks

[Dante]

Reloading will be allowed at HQ only.

[Decoy]

As much as I'd ike to go, it isn't going to happen. Good luck with the event 97th.

[Oddjob]

What time can we campers arrive on site?

[BlackHawk97]

Um, we are thinking of having the campers show up around 4 or 5. We are not completely sure on that, we may have you show up a little earlier. We are looking to have everyone camp in the parking lot area. We will decide on a more exact time and post it by either tomorrow or Wed. at the latest.

Decoy, sorry to hear that you aren't going to be able to make it. Hope to see you at future events though.

[raptor8390]

gentlemen and ladies,

the town of jackson is only about ten minutes from the playing field and has a pluthera of restaurants both fast and sit down. also a super walmart for any that are interested. i hunt in jackson every year so let me warn everyone. the terrain in southern ohio is drastically different than that of northern or middle ohio. take the biggest hill in springfield and multiply that by two and you have jacksons smallest hills.(typically) be prepared for this, and bring lots of water because trekking up the hills will be tough. however you won't find a more kickass area for airsoft or milsim. every year i sit in my tree stand and think how sweet it would be to play wargames down here and now i get the chance. i wouldn't miss this for the world and neither should anyone else.

if anyone would like directions from the playing field into town let me know. its not that hard.

see everyone saturday.

[Hexonal]

Question as to registration.
I'm trying to wrangle a few of my teammates into going, but I wont know how many of us can show up, or if any of us can, until thursday or friday
(due to many circumstances, including work, people being out of town this week, and transportation).
So, is registration mandatory? I'd hate to register all of us, and have only 2 or none of us make it.
I will understand if it is mandatory, and hope that we will be invited to the next event.

[BlackHawk97]

I would say just go ahead and register them, if they can come great, if not, than all we need to do is cross out a name. Hope you guys can make it out.

[Slaya360]

Yes Hexonal, go ahead and register them. If you find out by thursday or Friday morning, please pm me and let me know that they will not be coming.

Also, if there is anyone else that is registered and will not be able to go, please pm me as soon as possible.

[Lone Gunman]

Gentalmen,

It looks like three to five of 6MM Militia will be there. We are still tring to rally more so we are hopeful. Looking forward to this event.

Rack Em

[raptor8390]

I forgot to mention on my last post that if you are coming from dayton on 35 you will come across an exit that says old 35, just ignore that and keep going. The new 35 is a two lane highway and the old one is backroadish. also i should mention one thing about southern ohio, not often but sometimes you will run across wild boar, if you do climb a tree fast. i had an interesting run in with one last deer season and wow are those things mean. just and little safety tip. don't think it will be and issue but you can never be too safe. or better yet just unload on the sucker and send it running. yeah thats a better idea.

[hotpants]

hey can you put the link up again for registration i need to register me and a few others thanks and it is def in jackson not beaver right

Location: 1727 Limerick Rd, Jackson, OH 45640

[icedragonx]

I'm not sure if the link for the waiver is buried somewhere, but can you post the link? Or is it the Striker's waiver?

Since it is the Striker's waiver, we do not need one if we gave one to Franks during one of his events?

[wormyxl]

does anyone have a waver... im told that the one on AE is for strikers...

thanx
wormyxl

[monkey_slap]

edit: removed link

[BlackHawk97]

Actually that isn't the waiver, DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT use the Airsoft Events waiver, that is the strikers waiver. I will post ours in about a half an hour, we have had some issues with noterization that we had to get worked out. One more time, don't use the link above, or the airsoft events waiver.

*Edit*
Ok, well the waiver should be up later tonight or tomorrow, we are working on puting it into an Acrobat reader format. It will not need to be noterized, however anyone under 18 will have to have a parent sign it. We will have copies at the field, however won't have a ton, so if you can't print it out and are over 18, don't worry, but if you can, please do so so we don't run out.

[stewb_10]

hey guys, i ordered one of those Nextorch 9v taclights from AAtlanta, so hopefully, (parents willing) we will be able to see how well it works on saturday..

[strikers_blade]

Blackhawk, it is about time you give me a waiver lol
Waiting on yours to implement on AEV...

[BlackHawk97]

Ya ya ya Blade I hear ya:p hahaha. Sorry for the delay all, things have been kind of hectic, so we appologise for this, and if you could just bare with us. Also, Blade, could you bring quite a few smokes? I am a smoke granade whore and would like to have plenty. Also, since I am on here, I will just post, do you think you could bring me 1 or 2 of those KJW glock 23 mags that fit my 32C, I appreciate it. Also stewb_10, hope you can make it out.

[Iceman]

Are we going to be allowed to use smoke in the caves?

[BlackHawk97]

Should be able to... we will descuss it on Sat. but I wouldn't see why not. All rules and stuff will be gone over in detail at the event, so we will address this.

[monkey_slap]

Ok, I'd like to add that a check list for people to bring. We wont be away from humanity, but it's just essentials that I think everyone should bring for those just in case scenarios:

[ ] Boots. It's muddy, it's hilly, it's rocky. If you bring tennis shoes you will be ok, but really to be safe and comfortable a good pair of boots wont hurt.
[ ] Water. Bring about a gallon per person if you are camping, if not, just bring a liter or so. More isn't a problem though.
[ ] Money. For treks into town and possible items from Blade. Also entry fee if you haven't prepaid online.
[ ] Extra pair of pants and shirt. If you get wet it can be a problem so make sure you have an extra to be comfortable.
[ ] Waiver.
[ ] Airsoft supplies. Guns, BBs, gear, etc.
[ ] Camping gear for those camping. We will be camping inside the cavern, but, you may want to bring a tent just in case. Also I'd recommend you bring something to sleep on.

I would personally recommend everyone get these together before the game, and, if you do so, you should have one of the best playing experiences of the year!

[BlackHawk97]

Actually Monkey slap, we are the only one's who will be camping in the caves, everyone else will be in the parking lot area, I made the same mistake, I thought everyone was to, but I was told I was mistaken. This is so no one gets a first hand look at the field. So everyone make sure you bring a tent that can handle getting wet, because it may rain.

[Scorpion]

I am in need of waivers for the team, 3 of which need parents signatures, so if there isn't a waiver posted in time(we're leaving friday at 3pm) someone needs to email me a copy of something I can use.

[Slaya360]

And I present to you ladies and gentlemen, the waiver.

[BLACK SE7EN]

With the roster topping 75 how is the parking there? Also your gear is soppost to be at your H.Q., is it covered from the rain?

[BlackHawk97]

Game organizers will be around, as well as a few tents and such, so if it starts to rain, and everyone is in the field, I am sure that someone will be able to throw your stuff in a tent or sheltered place. Also, we may set a tent up at the 2 HQ's or atleast make sure both have sheltered areas near them just incase. Someone else will have to answer your question about parking, I have yet to set foot on the field, however I am sure that we will make sure everyone who comes has a place to park, even if it means us parking at a different location and shuttling back and forth.

[Inferno]

Yes, there is room for parking, but we definitely encourage everyone to carpool as much as possible. HQ's are set up inside the caves, so your gear will have a place to stay out of the rain if there is any.

[Krayzie]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if the HQ will be in the caves will we get to still play in them?

[King]

Couple of quick questions:
1) Are you guys going to record this game and/or take pics? Because I usually bring my digital camera to all the events I go to and I take pictures.
2) Who are the commanders? Maybe we aren't supposed to know :-)
3) Since we couldn't sign up for a specific side, I take it you guys are going to split everyone up before the game starts? Or are we going back on the side we were for OP: Espial Justice?
Thanks,
-King

[BlackHawk97]

Krayzie, Of course, if not that would take some of the fun out of it :p . You can assault the other teams HQ, and if I am not mistaken, I believe there are quite a few of the cave structures, so there should be atleast one or two in between the two HQ's. Inferno please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like this from the pictures.

King, yes we are having a guest, who is actualy new here to AO as well, Storer50, he will be combat photographer/camaraman, and I will have a few different types of cameras, a film and digital. Comanders, I believe commander Blade pulled through his heart transplant after his heart attack, I may be mistaken but he may be back. I am not positive on this situation, but there is a chance. Also we will try to get everyone on the team they where on at EJ, however one side may need players, and in that case we will have to re-assign people/teams, we will not split teams up, and we will re-assign the new comers first, but that may not be enough, we will just have to wait and see.

[King]

OK, thanks for the info. I was the ULP's commander at OP: Espial Justice and was wondering. And believe me, I don't mind handing it off to someone else, haha.

[BlackHawk97]

Thats fine, if you don't want to be commander, we can always find a way to kill you :D . We could say something like hemerage in your head , stroke, sniper, landmine, Loki, trust me there are many things we could attribute your death to.

[King]

Not quite what I had in mind......:p But hey, if it works! But, if no one wants to do it, then I'll be the CO again. I just don't think I have enough experience being a commanding officer of a ton of people. Besides, I know there are many people on the roster that would be a better CO. OK, I'm done. :D

Actually you are mistaken BlackHawk, there are no cave structures between the two bases. However, there should definately still be some fighting in the caves.

[wormyxl]

ok... I know there is an ammo limit and a mag limit, but is there a "number of guns" limit?

thanx,
wormyxl

[osok]

For some reason I can't download the waiver. Could you post it another format? I had no problem getting the Striker's waiver. Perhaps Blade could suggest.

[BlackHawk97]

Osok, accourding to your profile you are 44 corect? If so, then if you would like you can just sign a waiver at the field. It doesn't need to be noterized so you will be ok. We will have some copies on site for those who are having problems. wormyxl, um, eh, well, that is a a bit of a touchy subject, what guns where you thinking?

[strikers_blade]

Give me an hour and it will be available on http://airsoftevents.com/events/waiver.php?event_num=59

[stewb_10]

Ok guys i have bad news.. i wont be attending this one...

EARLY APRIL FOOLS, i WILL be coming to this event. however, somthing happened @ Airsoft Atlanta, so i wont be recieving my light until MONDAY.. yes i ordered it tuesday night, and yes they say shipped in 24 hrs, but it didnt get shipped till this AFTERNOON.. so, no nextorch this game :(..

btw- i thought i should get the april fools off my chest so i wont have to get anybody on sat. but i would still watch my back if i were phalanx.. aarons downin people w/ his freakish M4. "throw me a mag" *i throw mp5 mag* ;)

[Scorpion]

As far as I know and as far as I have been playing with 97th the understood rule was you could use two weapons as long as they use different magazines.

For example I will run a SR-16 and a MP5, my gunner will run his M249 and a P-90. That way we can't in anyway have "extra ammo", and since no loaders or hi-caps are allowed we can't exactly switch ammo from one mag to another. So as I see it, being 24 hours before the first arrivals at the field, and the fact that no one cared to clear it up. I'd be very appreciative if 97th allowed this type of setup. That way it won't put those with high power weapons at a disadvantage when it's 50 out and our gas guns crap out on us.

Just some thoughts guys, oh and thanks for the waiver we're squared away. Also we picked up 3 more people so if they don't register in time, we are a full 8 man fireteam.


Oh yeah and Stewb don't worry i won't need a mag, we got the SAW coming, but i would laugh if you pulled that crap with me. :D

[john]

we carry our empty loaders with us? Right. We leave our ammo at our HQ. Reload at specified local, leave with empty loaders.

Is this acceptable? Trying to finalize my guys loadout. and don't want to break any rules.

Just so many diff ways to play.

H

[Scorpion]

John you are correct, that is how it was done at Espial Justice and that is how as of right now it is being done for this event as well.

[strikers_blade]

this is exactly the idea behind having gun restriction so you don't find a sniper at 550fps with a SAW....you guys want high power, you need to suffer the limitation of it.

[raptor8390]

Just so everyone knows i will be trying to bring my camera as well. i got a pretty sweet set up and would like it not to get shot so when i am taking pics i will have some sort of bright color on my head so if you see that DON'T SHOOT! i would hate to have to cry in front of a bunch of guys if my camera gets broken!! i obviously won't give position away by wearing blaze orange hats but if there is an obvious firefight i will be wearing it. thanks everyone.

[osok]

Just to clarify, why would you take an empty loader onto the field?

[snipe]

Due to the incident at this past event I would suggest making sniper rifles only permitted by people who you know can tell the engagement distance. If they cannot use them safely they should not be permitted on the field. I am not trying to force anythng on you guy... I am just making a suggestion due to problems we have had at past events.

[BLACK SE7EN]

So striker are you saying one gun then?

[strikers_blade]

Black Seven, I am a poor rifleman following orders so no, I am not saying anything :p

[BLACK SE7EN]

To much to read, lost track of organizer. I guess in 36 hours we will all know the real deal. Safe travels and i'll see everone at the feild. One more thing, sycoanilist will not be coming from team R.A.I.D.

I'm terribly sorry that we didn't get back with you on that issue sooner. We discussed it shortly after you contacted us and then got wrapped up and distracted with other matters and completely forgot to reply. Unfortunatly no, this will not be allowed.

You will be more than welcome to bring an extra gun onto the field and leave it at your base or respawn incase of your main weapon failing, however, to simply bring two weapons on the field would double you potential ammo amount. Rather than reloading you would simply be able to switch weapons and start over again which would completely bypass the 600 rnd limit rule. We put that rule into place so as to discourage the use of constant full auto sprays, and encourage the use of semi auto well aimed shots.

Again, we're are terribly sorry for the late response, and any confusion that has ensued.

[stewb_10]

ahh u guys got the SAW up and runnin.. we couldve used it @ espial justice.. hope brandons skilled w/ it, should be fun, he was pretty good at coverin even w/o it. while i was pullin our guys back to us, never got shot once..

[strikers_blade]

stewb_10,

did you know I am learning english??? you are honestly making things very difficult for me right now with all your "u" "@" "coverin" and "pullin" words....

im going to be checking that out myself individually before someone takes a hot rifle on the field. i use a 530fps rifle and know how to use it, so by judgement of one's abilities i will say yes or no to one's use of such a powerful rifle. i dont want any accidents

[stewb_10]

sorry blade.. i will stop.. i dont want to be on your bad side when you control my bb flow.

Well first off that is completely over the top, but I would be the first one to do it so I guess it's not fair to the rest of the people. But there is no limitation to the power at all Blade, only suffering on the other end :)

As for the fact that we can at least bring it to the HQ or whatever we use, thanks. That's better than nothing and helps keep the game flowing much easier in case of that catastophic gearbox failure. :D

See everyone real soon, oh and for anyone on 97th that needs to know Stewb_10 is with us so if he is not on ULP with the rest of the rebels please place him there in our squad.

[monkey_slap]

if you do not think you will be attending please PM a member of the 97th that you will not. preferably PM inferno, but i can pass the word.

also, if you havent registered, plan on coming, and do not know if you can register before tomorrow, PM me and i can get you squared away.

[BLACK SE7EN]

ARE YOU READY? ARE YOU READY? LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!

[stewb_10]

i was born ready.. i hope yall are all ULP otherwise its gonna be some nightmares all over agian.. just like last time..

LONG LIVE ULP!!!

[BLACK SE7EN]

What is a "ULP"?

[stewb_10]

oh you must be a rookie to this series.. ULP is one side and NURC is the other..


"Nearly four months ago, the Republic of Southern Rhumaandi was torn in two when civil war broke out between the two main political factions, the United Liberal Party (ULP), and the National United Reform Coalition (NURC). In an overwhelming victory, ULP forces decimated the NURC army and pushed them out of the area. They also uncovered several components of a weapon in the ruins of what used to be Operational Force INC. This weapon has been code-named "Project Bermuda". Their scientists have been reverse engineering the pieces and members of NURC fear that they are close to unleashing a weapon that could seal their hold on Southern Rhumaandi. Knowing that action must be taken, the NURC forces have been preparing to once again face the ULP in battle with the hopes of gaining control of Bermuda."

[BLACK SE7EN]

Right, and as for the rookie comment we'll see in the morning kid. Good hunting.

[stewb_10]

;) aww too bad.. i guess your NURC...

unfortunately, the only time i will see NURC tomorrow is on the other side of that red dot.. :D

good luck tomorrow guys, itll be fun.. I even took this morning off of football liftin to be 100%..

[strikers_blade]

stewb_10, keep talking while you can because ....dead man don't talk :D

[stewb_10]

How right you are blade.. did i mention i would be avoiding all strikers???

;)

btw- could you check your e-mail blade?

[strikers_blade]

checked and answered already.

While I am there, you guys better make sure to send me an email if you want something special tomorrow. I will try to bring as much stuff as I can but I will not bring the whole store for sure.

[HardLock]

Sorry guys, but I will not be able to attend afterall. HOWEVER, I just sent you my $20 game fee via paypal anyway to support your team's efforts in bringing us OP:Bermuda. Good luck tomorrow!

PS: Blade will be there with my green M249, so look out! lol
