Oct 15 RED ROCK RAMPAGE I
yes there will be a RRR II if this goes over well enough, it will be a camp op if your interested
This is our attempt (team SCUM) to stage a game between Tucson and Pheonix at the SASCO site west of Red Rock.
We wanted to extend an invite to the palyers from all parts of Arizona, this is not a AA sponsored game, but it is still okay to play with us though, we just hoped to expand our range of targets to some new faces from up North.
Just to keep it simple we wanted to run a capture the flag scenario, two teams. Turn out will drive this game, the more folks that show up the more we can do.
And to keep it more real no hi-cap mags, 60-70 round standard fine but 30 rounders would be better.
There is a bunker type building there for cqb, flater type grounds to the east for open fighting and then there are the hills to the west that over look the entire area.
The game is simple, if any is down for it:
tan of any type for aggressors (Pheonix shooters) possibly the larger force we hope
greens solid or woodland equiv. for us Tucson bums, we will run as the locals and their helpers.
Two flags and two or three smaller objectives like, find and destroy propaganda radio blasting load music, next find local tribesmen and capture or kill them, locate and clear several hard point bunkers that may or may not be manned,, some advissors may be there to help the locals, they too have a base that must be taken care of.
Do all this with out losing your own flag or HQ. If there are way more players from one city than the other we don't mind if you don't. We are accustomed to being out manned down here anyway.
Your ideas are welcome ofcourse, it will be your game too.
at this time we have no less than 10 players in Tucson ready for this game, any takers? More details for this can be found at our local website for airsoft in Tucson: Tucson Airsoft Coalition.com
Thanks for your time, hope to see you there.
Sign up for our roster at TAC it will help to plan out the op better
-
Age limit? And where is the field?
-
Red Rock is south of Picacho peak park exit, but before the exit for the Evergreen air port- repair center.
From the exit it is about 10 miles west of mostly dirt roads, if you do not have a 4x4 we can provide shuttle ride from the exit out to the site. The road is okay but there is a stream, creek, river to cross at two or three points of the route, you lowered car or sedan will not clear the water or the big bumps going out of the creeks.
I will do a search on map quest and get the exits and mile markers noted for players that have not been to this site yet.
ask away, or pm me questions, whatever I can do to help out.

This sounds pretty sweet. Anyone up for carpooling from Tempe or vicinity? My car was hit by someone running a red light and I'm currently without wheels. :( I'll chip in for gas, of course.
-
Did you get permission to play there? IDK, but iv'e been hearingseveral rumors on how it's private property and they dont allow anyone to play there anymore. If we can then thats great, I havent played at SASCO for over a year now. It's by far the best CQB area ive experienced (if roof play is allowed).
-
the very best 'I' could do was drive out to the ranch that is next door, they own the "rights" to graze cattle in that area and "he does not mind us" the owners are in Tempe, they do not want anything upsetting the rancher first off, and second they are not building there in any way shape or form any time in the near future, we asked!
It is next to blm land at some point but no one goes out that far, folks still shoot real steel out there, the day we were there about 10 paintballers were out running around, they go out there almost weelky as they stated never had any troubles. Except for when it was flooded, the roads that is.
The owners are no where nearby and if the rancher is not calling the cops they do not want to know about us out there.
They have way bigger issues out there, turns out the coyotes and runners like to use that area of the dessert to hide stuff or people back in the hills behind and around the old sasco site.
all we have to is respact the land and not get hurt & sue or upset the status quo.
If they were going to close it off they will need to string alot of barbed wire fences and post the heck out it, too much cost for the results. the bums and illegals would destroy them anyway.
-
Are ACU's good for the Phoenix team?
-
For any one with similar or the same question: I think it acus or marpat or dpms... anything you have bring it. We are just happy to get folks to show up. If there are issues game day regarding uniforms or sides we can set it straight then.
Are the acu's more green or more tan?
-
oh... i'lll be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-

Wow, tucson looks heavy, I am sure Pheonix will surprise us with a few more palyers.
-
- Put me down as a maybe for either side.
\PLT
-
Sorry but where is this place so i can google it. i'm new to that area. NOOB here. :lol: The plan is for me and 4 other guys showing up at 1800 sat and staying the night but we gota leave at 1200 the next day. but i think we should make it. let me get back with ya'll on SUnday. that will be the definate answer.
-
Mike, get on Google Maps and follow the I-10 south to Ex 226, I think. Red Rock, it's called. Then go west a bunch, on SASCO Road.
-
the sasco road is pretty bad if you have a car, trucks or 4x4s would be the best type of vehicle. There a couple creeks that have to be crossed and you will not make it in a regular car.
If any one is going out there the day or night before then i wil show up to help guide or shuttle players in my truck or help with any of the set ups folks may wan to bring out , like cammie nets or tents.....heck if there are enough guys there the night before we could do some bunker runs in the old building thing that is still there.
this is the first of many games to come. It may take a couple tries to get the turn out and to organize it so it runs smooth with little or no problems and most important no one gets hurt.
I have two emt's with our team so there will be Corpsman on the field to help any one that has the need. I think there will be another team coming that will also have another certed corpsman with them.
Just send me your name as soon as you know you can come. I will post them up as they come in, this is getting me motovated,
SHOOTERS FRONT AND CENTER, sign up or be left wondering "why didn't i go to this thing?"
It will be fun!
-
I once knocked myself out on my own steering wheel trying to brave SASCO Road (on z-rated tires) during an awful rainstorm which turned the road into a goddamn rally track.
I made it pretty much all the way in a Honda Civic that clearanced the ground by about a coke can.
Note : pretty much all the way ain't all the way.
-
Mike, get on Google Maps and follow the I-10 south to Ex 226, I think. Red Rock, it's called. Then go west a bunch, on SASCO Road.
a little over 8 miles west of the freeway I think Vince. you also have to make sure that the farmers don't send their overflow irrigation down the wash....makes them hard to pass.
-
ok i have a definate 4 for now but hope to have a definate 6 by sunday. HOOOOAH. Here we come Tuscon :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
hey i might be out there with 3 others
-
this sounds like fun to attend but the issue for me is that i'm from Ahwatukee (Phoenix) and only have woodland and Flecktarn....
-
If you guys go into the smelter, better wear your helmets:

woody's bleeding head and the finger are from SASCO, the others are from missle tanks outside of tucson.
-
Ok it is official it will just be me and 3 other s for the game. Final Answer. :P
-
It looks like there will be a gun fight at the old sasco site after all!
So far it is very hard to tell what sort of turn we will have but, that not withstanding I hope everyone stays safe, enjoys the day at one of the best palces to hold a battle in Arizona and goes home to tell their buddies how much fun they missed by not showing up for this series! YES, I hope this will be the first of many battles we can wage against each other.
North vs. South, what could be more fun? remember; this will be a simple start a flag capture- defense, we can always throw in extras but for now lets just try to get shooters there.
Complex scenarios to come when we have the players to pull it off.Not right now. If there is enough interest we can run more than two teams, example: North and South maybe we can add an East and the West that would be four banners, we can make alliances, have treaties or just fight till all four flags sit with one team: THE VICTORIOUS team.
Sasco site oct15 just a reminder 0800 brief, 0815 head count with team split, 0830 set up flags & defenses and then kill or be killed.
Who likes the four team gunfight? Too much?
-
add me and one other for green
-
Time for a history lesson!!! http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/sasco.html has some neat info about its past and even a cute little video about it. :D
-
Two more attending: one player in woodland gear and one in street clothes.
-
I made it pretty much all the way in a Honda Civic that clearanced the ground by about a coke can.
Note : pretty much all the way ain't all the way.
Got past the creek, but the sand after it was extremely soft during the storm right?
I have checked the field out a few times in the past few months it seems to me the road has improved quite a bit. The water section might have become slightly deeper, but I'm not sure. I think the farmers out there threw down some small rocks on most of the road that gets the most water to help keep it from washing away.
As far as wearing helmets, they're HIGHLY recommended. I'm only 5'11 I've bashed my head in there before. In addition to tripping over random objects laying inside the CQB area. Awesome site, but can be very painful![/quote]
-
Yay, I got a ride (thanks Osmo_C)! Put me down for tan. booyah!
-
Myself and my friend jason will be definately comming in 6 color desert.
We only have cars, but we are comming from scottsdale and should have room for maybe one or two more people if anyone wants to carpool up and split the gas.
Not sure if we'll be able to make it up the road thought, both our cars are lowered.
But definately count 2 desert scottsdale guys in!
-
If your car is dropped or lowered you will have trouble.
I have at least one if not two drivers willing to shuttle from the freeway exit to the site. I will be one of those willing to help with that duty since I called for the game. There is a very old tavern buliding with a good lot to meet at. gas sattion next to it good too since it is closed down with good pavement.
Questions? PM if needed my number can be had for the asking
-
You know that guy who always loses his gear and then desperately posts in the forums, hoping that somebody picked it up? Today, that guy is me.
I lost a set of OD/Black knee pads at the Sasco game. Please let me know if you have them or know someone who does. Thank you.
-
Oh, I saw a guy driving back down the road asking who's OD pads they were, I think he drove them back to the AO.
-
That kind man drove all the way out to where the Bimmer was parked to catch us. I have them, let me know where and I will post them to you asap.
AND thanks to every single person that came out. If did not say thanks to you in person that was my bad, I hope that we can do something like that again soon, with out the river crossings.
Brian I have your boonie too! desert dpm.
I hope you all had fun. Be safe.
-
Wow, thanks a lot! I thought I was never seeing them again...
The three of us from Tempe had a blast. Thanks to everybody for coming out, and to AZTacGunner for setting this up!
-
Good fun was had by the scottsdale crew too.
Love sasco, well worth the drive.
Hopefully you guys can make it out to the game I have in the works sometime in the near future.
-
WE had a blast too. 2 of our guys were new but the time they had thier was worth it. thier dedicated Airsoft now. whoo hoo. good times.
-
You just keep us all in the loop and if any of us in Tucson can make the games we will be there.
It was a blast, the day is always good when you can hunt people down and shoot them!
-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD7qufhwfEg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD7qufhwfEg)
they start out slow and you have to look hard to see what i am shooting at. plus the video is low quality. trust me it looks a lot clearer on my TV in full resolution.
the second video is more interesting than the fist video
-

-
the second video is more interesting than the fist video
I think I missed that one... Nice videos though.
I noticed a lot of cameras out and about towards the end of the day. I hope some of those photos make their way onto the boards.
-
I'm not in the video :(. But I did see alot of pics taken and I know I was in a few photos.
-
