After the United States discovered that the Soviet Union tried to arm a small Guerrilla force in the jungles of Brazil, they sent elite Commandos to wipe them out. Too bad they just happen to be operating on a Predator hunting ground!

Semi-Auto OnlyFull-automatic and burst-mode firing are prohibited at this event. Only one BB is to be projected with each cycle of the trigger.However, we allow the following exceptions to this rule:
- Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) replicas that are listed HERE
- Guns that weigh at least 10 pounds and are at least 36 inches in length
- Pump/slide-action or lever-action guns that shoot multi-round bursts
- BB shower shells such as Madbull
- Mini launchers such as Zoxna
- Double-barrel guns such as THIS when fired only in semi-auto
Exceptions1.) Within each of the Commando and Guerrilla factions, their Commanding Officer (CO) and Executive Officer (XO) may not be within 100 feet of their faction's self-respawn pole at the same time. Also, neither is allowed to excessively "spawn sit" which means that they must be at least 100 away from it for at least 45 minutes of each hour of the operation so that it is possible for them to be assassinated by Predators.2.) When hit, a Predator may be respawned after only two minutes (120 seconds) of sitting if a live player makes physical contact with them instead of having to sit for the standard three minutes. Also, Predators may respawn themselves at any respawn tree without the presence of a live player as long as there are not any known live Commandos or Guerrillas within line-of-sight of that respawn tree.

Radio CommunicationIf you have a two-way radio, keep it set on your faction’s radio channel. You may not monitor or transmit on the other factions' channels. However, Predators may monitor the other factions' channels. VOX mode, hot mic-ing, and channel jamming are all prohibited. Please familiarize yourself with your radio and program in its channels before arriving at the field.
No TreasonYou must remain loyal to the faction that you are currently on and not betray them, because any form of treason will break this game.
Limited AlliancesEven though they're competing against each other, Commandos and Guerrillas may form temporary alliances with each other. However, Predators are never allowed to ally with either of the other factions.
No Spawn-campingYou and your faction are not allowed to stalk, surround, or fire upon the enemy self-respawn locations. Likewise, they're not allowed to camp your self-respawn either.
ConquestPredators may not participate in this conquest and may not touch the control-site props.Commandos and Guerrillas are expected to fight over five control sites located at Echo Base, Gully Base, Leroy's Bridge, MAC Tower, & Prison which are marked with orange flags on the map below. The scoring will take place using 30-minute intervals at exactly 11:30, 12:00, 12:30, 13:00, 13:30, 14:00, 14:30, and 15:00 with 10 points awarded to the faction that controls the majority of these five sites.To capture a control site, you must throw your enemy’s flag on the ground and replace it with your own as shown HERE. There’s no limit to the number of times that the flags may be flipped on a control site, but you’re not allowed to steal or hide the flags.In order to get credit for the control site that you just captured, you must also use the Baofeng radio that is located at the control site to notify Omego of the flip. Any delay in radioing the flip could prevent your faction from earning the points. The status of each control site will be tracked on Omego's smart phone. Everyone with an internet connection may monitor the scoreboard in real time through this URL: https://board.multitimer.net/view/?q=qlsluj0kc7
TrophiesPredators will want to kill as many humans as possible and take dog tags from their leaders to keep as trophies.The COs and XOs of the Commando and Guerrilla factions will each be given a necklace with one dog tag that is to be kept on their person unless/until taken per the following rules. During their 3-minute sit time after getting hit, they must give it to the first Predator who gets close enough to take it even if it wasn’t the shooter. They must remain seated for the full 3 minutes regardless of when the dog tag was taken. If no Predator gets to them within those first 3 minutes, they do not need to give up their dog tag even if they've decided to wait longer for a friendly player to respawn them in place. Please inform Omego if a dog tag is taken so that he can update the scoreboard. Each CO and XO who is able to keep their dog tag until endex will earn 20 points per dog tag for their faction. Commandos and Guerrillas are not allowed to take dog tags from each other.
A Brother's BurialThis objective will only happen if all of the CO and XO dog tags are taken as described above.During the hunt, a Predator was killed. The remaining Predators must now carry the body of their fallen comrade to an undisclosed site within the AO and hold it there until endex. If you are a Commando or a Guerrilla, you may earn extra points for your faction per conquest scoring interval by intercepting the body and taking it within five feet of your flag at any control site that your faction holds. You will earn 5 points for every scoring interval that it is there even if your faction doesn't control the majority of the control sites on the field. Be sure to radio this into Omego when you arrive there so that he can keep the scoreboard updated. Players are not allowed to cover/hide the alien body prop and must keep it on the established trails while transporting it.
GoalThere are up to 120 points available to be earned by the Commandos or Guerrillas during this operation. The faction with the most points at endex will be declared the winner!
