FactionsYour faction will be finalized on game day based on your preferences, your loadout/clothing, your experience level, your friend group, any local airsoft team affiliation that you may have, and our faction size goals:
NATO
Self-respawn: Gully BaseProvided insignia: blueRadio channel: 1 (462.5625 MHz)
USSR
Self-respawn: Fort HarrisProvided insignia: redRadio channel: 2 (462.5875 MHz)
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 faction's channel. 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 Spawn-campingYou and your faction are not allowed to stalk, surround, or fire upon the enemy self-respawn location. Likewise, they're not allowed to camp your self-respawn(s) either.
ConquestNATO and USSR are tasked with capturing and holding the largest number of control sites for the longest period of time before the operation ends at 15:00. There are six control sites located at Castle, MAC Tower, Pallet Base, Prison, Tents, & Trailhead to MAC and are marked with orange flags on the map below.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 begin accruing minutes for your faction on 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 will delay the accrual of minutes. Each faction’s minute accrual will be started and stopped 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=gnpdlkyejoAt startex, NATO will be have their flags raised to accrue minutes and may be positioned at Prison, Tents, & Trailhead to MAC. Opposingly, USSR will start out owning Castle, MAC Tower, & Pallet Base. The purple line marks the border between the territories of NATO and USSR. Each minute accrued on each control site is worth one point for a maximum possible score of 1,440 points.
Data DevicesEach faction will start with a data device at their self-respawn location that is sealed with a four-digit combination lock. The code may be found deep within enemy territory which can be discovered by overt breach or more covert fieldcraft. The code’s exact location will be revealed to your faction just prior to startex. Within each data device is a cipher that may be used to decode important intel.
Scientist (Startex—13:00)A NATO scientist has been captured by USSR and is being held within the MAC building. The scientist is invincible and may only move while being "dragged" by a live player. The scientist may not be hidden or moved out of the MAC building by USSR personnel, but they may bring the scientist back after being moved out by NATO. The scientist is encouraged to cry out for help. NATO wants to rescue the scientist by escorting them to Gully Base. If the scientist is within the walls of Gully Base at 13:00, there will be 120 points awarded to NATO. If the scientist is within the walls of the MAC building at 13:00, there will be 120 points awarded to USSR. If the scientist is outside the walls of both locations at 13:00, no points will be awarded to either faction.
Bombs (Startex—Endex)Your faction may work to acquire a tactical nuclear bomb that can be used to destroy a control site of your choice on the enemy’s side of the border which will take it out of play for the remainder of the operation. In order to succeed, you should use the attached chain and keyed lock to secure the bomb to a tree that is located within 50 feet of the enemy control site’s orange flag holder. Then, you should activate the 10-minute countdown by starting its electronic timer and locking the lid with the provided four-digit combination lock. In addition to destroying the enemy control site, you will also earn an extra 120 points for your faction if it detonates. The countdown and detonation will be audible through the bomb’s noisy build-in speaker system.
VIPs (14:00—Endex)At 14:00, your faction commander will choose one subordinate to play the role of a very important person (VIP) who enters the game alive at your faction’s self-respawn location. The VIP must carry a special radio and wear a special hat that is within your faction's data device box. Your VIP has only one life, is not able to respawn, and will be eliminated with the first hit they receive after entering the game. If this happens, the individual must immediately return to their faction’s self-respawn location to reenter the game as a regular player.NATO will want to escort their VIP safely to REDACTED, and USSR will want to escort theirs to REDACTED. Once a VIP is escorted within the walls of their respective destination location, they must radio it to Omego so that he can start a timer to earn bonus points for their faction at the rate of two points for every one minute the VIP remains alive and within the walls of their destination location. While protecting your own VIP, you may want to hunt down and assassinate the opposing faction’s VIP in order to prevent them from earning VIP points. For each faction, this objective offers a maximum possible score of 120 points.
GoalThere are a total of 1,800 points up for grabs during this op. The faction with the most points at endex will be declared the winner!
