I'll agree that MC usually unbalances things. Almost everyone who's into airsoft is going to be into real steel, and you're going to get overlap with gear decisions between the two.

The purpose of MC is to blend, hence why it looks green / tan at different ranges; and I realize that this is a game, not real training. 

May I politely propose that those who are in MC be divided (but keeping friends grouped together), so that we even things out? We can then assign half to tan and half to green and identify all with tape.  We used to do that in the old days; "wear whatever color you want, we will assign colored arm bands, red vs blue", or pick two colors.

For those who are super irritated about colors sticking out, there is also the combination of one team with the common white-ish / tan masking tape, and the one team without. The way we did it, the bands were large enough on your arms and barrel such that it'd be easy to identify that person either way: Obvious bands? He's on the banded team.
Obviously no bands? He's on the non banded team.

I'm in Utah ATM but I'd love to come down for that weekend for this game. The first Prescottonia was and is still my favorite game ever.

Count me in for green.

As stated earlier above, that picture makes the feeling of loss so much more intense. Rest In Peace, Ron. No longer in pain, I hope you are at peace, where ever you are.

Hi, it's been a while since I played at any sort of Hatfield AO. (good times, btw). Am I correct in assuming that the legal issues with playing at "hatfield" have been resolved?

As I recall, there was an issue (like maybe a year ago) where the games were actually taking place on State trust land, and we needed to be on BLM land in order to be compliant. Can someone please confirm for me that this AO is in fact, legal?

I also recommend the serpa / STRIKE plate high chest mount option. It evenly distributes the weight of the pistol on the shoulder straps of your vest rather than your belt. It is also the least-in-the-way of things, but be careful when drawing / holstering your weapon: your muzzle discipline is going to be put to the test.

Also, as a bonus, it's easier to get to your sidearm if you're prone, since your hands will already be close to your upper torso while you're on the ground.

Chest mounted pistol rocks. The only other downside is that sometimes the handle of the sidearm can impede reaching one of your primary magazines (if you have large primary mags, it can even interfere with their placement). Sometimes this can be mitigated by canting the pistol so that its handle rests higher, but I personally prefer to have the weapon flat and level.

My team is here now, is the orange tape already up, we don't see it. Can you be more specific?

EDIT TO RULES READ ORIGINAL POST

Rules Updated. SNIPERS WILL BE KEY IN THIS GAME. ( WILL NEED RADIO COMMUNICATION )

Are you saying that snipers are needed for the scenario, or are you just saying how important of an asset they'll be?

Regarding the google map in the first post, do we have a phone number where we can reach the game organizer in case of something happening, like the ao / campsites getting closed, or we get lost along the way?
