Thank you for your sincere questions Jack. Welcome to Airsoft Arizona. As one of the game organizers, let me first aquaint you with some of our resources. 1st, in the RESOURCES header above you can find a subheading called "AA Rules and CoC" (which stands for Code of Conduct). In that sub heading you will find all sorts of interesting information about our game format, hit rules and so on. Please bone up on that information before coming to a game. Also under RESOURCES is a subheading called "Waiver". Please download that form and sign it and bring it with you when you come to your first game. Now, it is not necessary to become a member of AA (Airsoft Arizona) in order to participate in an AA game. However, I highly encourage you to consider becoming a member if for no other reason than the brotherly comraderie you have with your fellow members (you also get a cool patch and a red death rag). Membership is $20 and is well worth it.
Now, on to basic game format. AA games (and some of the private games) are MilSim type games. What we mean by "MilSim" is that the basic premise and storyline (and for that matter the missions and goals) have a "military" feel to them in that our look and appearance, tactics and execution is "military" in nature. However, that's pretty much where the similarity ends. We are not so hardcore that our command structure and mission hierarchy demands that commanders bark orders, or make you do pushups if you screw up. Remember, we're all out here to have a good time. So if you're looking for the simulation experience that get's the adrenaline pumping without the hassle of Basic Training, then you'll have a great time with us.
See you in the field,
TheRev
