Questions? I'll be happy to answer them.

Beautiful. What are the FPS limits and is there a field fee?
-
Poster looks interesting. I think I might have to get down to this one if finals aren't kickin my butt then.

Beautiful. What are the FPS limits and is there a field fee?
All AEGs not covered further below must be at or under 376 fps with a .25g BB (420 w/ .20g).

**SAW Weapons are faithful recreations of belt or box fed firearms qualify as SAWs. This includes (but is not limited to) the M60, M249, MG42, RPD, Shrike, and similar models. NO MP5's, M-16s, or non SAW weapons with a drum magazine are recognized as SAWs and as such must follow the AEG rules.
No field fee, no fee for the raffle.

Looks like a sweet scenario, I hope I can make it! :)

Hi All! I just wanted to take a moment and bump this thread to the top, as we are getting closer to the date and with a remote location we want to afford maximum time to plan your trips.
Scenario mechanics are pretty much hashed out at this point and we will be fine tuning them based on RSVPs. Also of note, our raffle swag is based on the total number of people to sign up and show up. While that increases the competition for each chance at a prize it also increases the chances that they will be getting nicer swag.
Impressions are strongly suggested, we want to be able to evoke a feeling of being immersed in the experience rather then a large pickup game. Please take some time to look back over the faction choices above and get your RSVP in for the event, as it helps us plan for the best event possible.
If you have any questions feel free to post them up and myself or azsworst will get them answered for you. Thank you!
-
Just wanted to point out that we are topping the RSVP charts at 20+ participants at this point. Pretty even mix of factions but if your on the fence the Chechens are the team behind right now. Please get those RSVPs in so we can get scenarios tuned for the proper size and get the appropriate prize support.

Greetings All!
Due to the charity games being hosted during the month of December the team has decided to push this event through until January. This should provide everyone a chance to better prepare impressions for 'Grozny' while being able to support their local airsoft communities in raising awareness of the sport while helping those in need.
The new date is January 23rd. Times and place should be the same.
The roster will be cleared this week and a new post created with the latest game information and a new roster sign up sheet. Stay tuned to your favorite forum for the latest or visit us at the event page here:

Thank you azsarge!
ALL:
Roster has been cleared and we are now ready to accept RSVPs for the event on its new date of 01.23.10. If you have submitted an RSVP before today then it has been dropped, please resubmit based on your ability to attend on the new date of January 23rd 2010.
Please be aware of the faction and uniform choices. You can find them at the event info page linked below. While we encourage some effort at doing a realistic 'impression' it is not required, however, there are some general uniform minimum requirements that must be met (i.e. not much choice for digitals).
Stay tuned to this thread for additional details and we look forward to see you on the 'Outskirts of Grozny'.

looks interesting- see if i can get my guys to register up.
-
I would like to note that green marpat will also work for any serviceman who cannot obtain woodland for the chechen side. This is NOT an excuse for any joe shmoe to wear marpat.. Doing so will result in expulsion, and I wouldn't like to do that :(
-
For those of you especially interested in dressing the part, take a look at http://www.red-alliance.net/forum/, or if you'd rather not leave the forum, my meager little guide...

Many thanks to ADM for their support of this event, we know Phoenix is a long drive for this AO. Just so you guys making a long trip know, camping is allowed unless the Forest Services blacks camping out for that weekend for some reason or another (they should not since we are out of fire season).
The latest RSVP count is putting us well into the 20+ participants mark with easily two to three times that many additional bodies expected.
Please get those RSVPs in so we can continue to fine tune and plan for the best possible event.

Quick question: are there any age limits? is there a team you have to be in, in order to play? and are there any other rules Besides FPS that I should know?
thanks!

Thank you Exarach :)
Interested parties, please be sure to read the event page here and at various point in the thread:

The page contains IMPORTANT details on what is allowed uniform, rules, and other restrictions. Myself and Azsworst are happy to answer any of your questions but please do us the courtesy of reviewing the information already provided to you to see if it covers your concerns first.
Keep those RSVPs coming!

I'm going to drag a few CT guys out to this one.

Awesome, I was really hoping you guys would be able to make it out for this one :)
Please fill out the RSVP form for them or have them do it so we have an entry slated for them.
As a general thread 'bump' I wanted to let everyone know we are looking at attendance in the 30's right now (without taking into account CTs signups). If you plan on attending please be sure to RSVP using the RSVP form so we know how many to plan for in mechanics.
We are fast approaching the event weekend! If you have any questions be sure to post them here or PM myself or Azsworst. Thank you!
-
When you say "real world support weapon" are you referring to strictly belt fed weapons (249/240) or are you counting Light Support Weapons such as RPK's or in my case L86 LSW?
-
I'm going to drag a few CT guys out to this one.
I signed up.
Looking forward to it. Might have some new heavy weapons by then

RPKs and L86 LSW qualify, what we are trying to discourage is the inevitable MP5 with drum magazine. Basically if you can find it used and provide published proof its good to go.

Can I have the old ones? :lol: Jk.
-
One other clarification. The uniform requirements state any green camo. I normally wear MC with CB gear. Would that still be considered "green" or should I wear woodland.
-
Sorry man, no MC. Although MC has been spotted on Chechen GRU commanders/Alpha and Vympal at various SF comps.....MC isn't really used by your everyday chechen sepratist. I only chose woodland for the chechen side because of an intresting video I watched some time ago, with a chechen rebel beaming at his "made in USA" clothing.
On another note, I'm almost complete writing a simple guide for 'impressions' to receive an extra ticket for the raffle...be on the look out.
If anyone has anymore questions, don't hesitate.
-
To all that are thinking about going that havent been it is an amazing area to play in, it was colder than fuck the night before (like 30 when i woke up), but warms up when the sun comes out
Ill be there the night before like last time.

My group and I are pretty adamant about our British kit. Is it possible that there was any British envolvment at Grozny?
If not, could we be some type of deep cover UKSF unit? kinda like these guys caught on camera in Afghanistan.

Do people usually camp out on the field?
-
I've camped almost every game, gives me a chance to relax a lil.
I'd like to take a moment and let everyone know that the chechens need more bodies! In order to be on the chechen side, you must be wearing at least the top or bottom woodland bdu. Most muj fighters are very rag tag so consider that in your look. I ask that everyone put a lil effort into your look, a better look adds fun points.
Just to make things clear:
Chechen side: must have a top/bottom/both woodland garmant.
Russian side: Any green camo OTHER than US WOODLAND (for now, could change), or any russian uniform.
Everyone should browse through this and get some inspiration.

Last time there were probably a dozen of us that camped out

I guess it's probably best for us who live in phoenix. +1 to tent city, Grozny.

I would probably say, Kiley or AZ correct me if I'm wrong, that you should go and invest in some cheap bdu's, I think they have some at Gearbox Airsoft on the really cheap, and an inexpensive vest. A lot of folks here take a lot of time working on specific impressions and have a whole heap of cash invested in their gear. You should respect that and at least lay out for the basics. Plus you will have a whole lot more fun.. Just my opinion. The organizers have of course the final say...
-
Thank you I will go to gear box and see what they have
-
I only have highcaps for mags on my gun, are there any other exceptions other than heavy support weapons for high-caps?
-
BAS at 2 so far. Could be 2 more. RSVPed.
Looking forward to it.
BTW: Red Sleigh Down was short a few toys -- meaning, we forgot to put them in the truck. I took 3 more to T4T.
-
What time will you guys be there the night before? (i think it was around 5 last time) and i assume it's in the same place as last time, down that road where the 2 cows stood in front of me for 5 minutes.
-

Doh! Glad you were able to get them in anyways :)
Yes, FS its at the exact same location as all the games we have held out there.
As a general heads up we are seeing more and more RSVPs at this point. As such staff has had to remove the option for Russian in order to balance the numbers. If it balances out in the next few days we may add it back to the roster but for now expect to RSVP as chechens. Chechens are in woodland camo (green DPM is being allowed as well, since a team is signing 8+ up in that load out and they will be written in accordingly). Please continue to use the RSVP form so that we can keep track of the total number. Thank you all for the continued interest.
-
All of our guys are signed up and ready to go. We'll be bringing about eight men.
We're all planning on camping the night before. Is there any area in particular that we should set up in?
This AO is new to us.
-
No particular, just don't camp in the game area ;)
-
Cool, I've got a general idea where the staging area is so we'll set up there.
-
As we get closer to the date, we would like to remind everyone that this AO is far away from home. Check, double check, make lists, etc.....don't let this game be the one where you forgot an essential item that stopped you from playing. If your camping the night before, make sure to bring plenty of water and blankets since this AO is in a higher elevation and also be sure to keep your AEG batteries warm as the cold will sap their energy quickly.
Make sure that you try to get through chrono as efficiently as possible, this is what usually makes things start off late. Hang out, BS with your buddies AFTER chrono.
Be prepared to go up/down a lot of hills. This AO is mostly hills and small valleys, with lush vegetation. Eat a hearty diet so your not one of the 'few' that drop out early cause you feel like you can't take another step. Bring plenty of water, you will get thirsty.
Radio comm is vital. You can easily lose sight of the enemy, so everyone being on the same page can make or break a game. It's also somewhat of a safety issue. This is quite a large AO, and knowing some....they will go FAR out of the way to flank an enemy. Should someone get hurt and become immobile, a radio would be their best bet (aside from screaming/yelling, and your vocal chords can only take so much).
This AO requires BIO BBS! You will be required to show them to staff when you chrono in and if your caught using non Bio BBs you will be ejected from the event. If you don't have any on hand or en route be sure to go harass Ron at Gearbox and buy him out ;)
Looking forward to this one!
-
Didn't see anything on cost is there one??
-
no cost
-
I'd like to inform everyone that numbers have evened out (we're looking at 50+ rsvpd, with another 15-20 expected) and you can again choose the russian side on the signup form.
If you have any questions at all, please drop a pm to me or kileyhaz.
Don't forget this game includes a FREE raffle generously provided by the fellas at AEX. Come out, have a good time, win some free stuff.
-
So, you say any green camo besides woodland, but MC is not okay? ](*,) What about a ghillie suit? Since you are allowing sniper rifles of 617fps..I would assume you will allow a ghillie.
-

No MC for russians, any russian pattern or Olive drab etc are fine...
Chechens can wear woodland, as pointed out a decent chechen impression would be a wind breaker, beanie, and woodland pants...
Ghillies are fine for either side, no restrictions on those...
Here are the fps rules again:
2. All weapons are are required to be chronographed and observe a maximum fps limit. For normal field games (CQB will differ) the limits are as follows:
2.1 All AEGs not covered further below must be at or under 376 fps with a .25g BB (420 w/ .20g).
2.2 All Sniper rifles* must be at or under 460 fps with a .36g BB (617 w/ .20g) and must observe a 75 foot MED (Minimum Engagement Distance) as well as have automatic firing abilities mechanically disabled.
2.3 All SAW Weapons** must be at or under 400 fps with a .25g BB (445 w/ .20g).
*Sniper rifles must be semi automatic or bolt action rifles with a stock and barrel length over 33 inches. Violating the semi automatic fire or MED rules with a weapon in this range will result in aggressive disciplinary action.
**SAW Weapons are faithful recreations of belt or box fed firearms qualify as SAWs. This includes (but is not limited to) the M60, M249, MG42, RPD, Shrike, and similar models. NO MP5's, M-16s, or non SAW weapons with a drum magazine are recognized as SAWs and as such must follow the AEG rules.
Yes you can eek out 617 fps with a .20g bb on a sniper rifle. However it must be mechanically disabled from full auto (i.e. we dont take anyone word that they 'promise' to stay in semi) and you MUST observe a 75+ ft minimum engagement zone. Staff will be strictly enforcing the MED for snipers, if we catch anyone with a gun that hot even 'accidentally' breaking the MED, we will eject you. In short, if you cant control your knee jerk reaction to getting rushed then a sniper role is not for you this game.

Well the ghillie I would sport is a half ghillie that covers my upper half, so that leaves me with two choices, wear contractor tan pants, or MC pants.
I have an adjustable air rig, so fps is only varied by 5fps at most, I tend to keep this specific gun at 600. It's a bolt action system, I am not a 14year old with an echo1 'DMR' :lol:
-
Don't be that guy Andy. Just go buy some used woodlands or od/sage 511 pants. You can wear the 511s for more than just airball if that helps justify buying it.

Here is the schedule as a reminder:
0600 Arrive and preparation
0700 Registration & Chrono*
0800 Pregame Brief
0830 Game Start
Please be sure to be wearing the proper attire for your faction and show up to the chrono station with your bag of bio bb's (must have orginal lable on it) and the weapons you wish to have tagged for the day.
Again as a reminder, the following items are REQUIRED for this event:
a) Bio BB's
b) Non Winding Magazines (Support gunners are exempt with their box mags)
Some items that are HIGHLY suggested include:
a) FRS/GMRS Radio
b) Pocket pencil and paper
Please remember this venue is located on Forest Service land. Do not vandalize the land, signage, or leave your trash anywhere in the venue. We want to ensure we leave the grounds in the same, or better, condition then we found them, so that we are invited to return to them again in the future.

Thank you and see you all this weekend!

My brother went and wrecked my car while I was out of town for a couple of weeks. If anybody can provide a carpool I would very much appreciate it. I live in Litchfield Park, and I was planning to camp out at the field the night before.
-
Would also like to add:
If you are on the russian side, you are required to wear a white cloth armband. If anyone forgets I will have some on hand for sale (cheap).
-
I remember getting one for a game a while back -- Is it possible again to get a Topo map of the AO with a rough outline of the boundaries? Thanks and appreciated.

I'm throwing a map together at the moment. I can print an extra one and bring it for you on Saturday.
That is, unless you're russian. Then I'll just feed you false intel and give you a map of Disneyland. ;)
-
Opords will include a map. Which you will get tomorrow. [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]

I was leaked a copy of the Chechan map from Foley... i hope this helps...

And for those proficient in your own land nav, you can find the staging area here:
31°48'2.62"N
110°45'26.64"W
Staging is southern boundary, play area will extend north to the road, west to the road, and east for about 1 mile.
Here is a low res snap shot of the area as well...

^ you forgot schools

Yes the game is still on. We will be playing no matter what the weather conditions are like. I know one year we played there it was snowing.

Adapt...overcome.....as I see it there are others out there who deal with this stuff on a daily basis....I think I can tough it out for 8hrs. This is partly what airsoft is about, got to have some suck factor, it seperates the airsofter from the kids in the backyard 8)
-
95% of the drive is on the interstate, even when you get off the I-10 its all roads taht shouldnt be floaded, not sure about going down to the camping ao, just be smart.
-
Is anyone still planning on camping? Also is there any info on the conditions of the camp site?
-
Game is on rain or shine. Reports have the storm moved out by tomorrow but I fully expect the AO will be wet with a good probability of snow at that altitude (There you go tracker types).
A good portion of the Desert Hawks team will be camping still, as well as misc other player from both Tucson and Phoenix, though we don't have any direct feedback on what the conditions are at the AO at this time...
Be sure to plan for staying dry and warm and plan accordingly to keep your batteries from getting too cold. While the projected day time temps should be fine for the hardware the early morning cold will likely sap a large portion of your through put if you do not take precautions.
See you all there!
-
Unless I get a very last minute carpool offer, it looks like I won't be going.

Everybody drive safe and have fun tomorrow.

Thank you everyone who made it out, you guys made a great event AWESOME! I wanted to thank Greg from AEX for coming out and bringing some SoCal folks with him as well. AEX does a great job at making sure we know that they appreciate communities like ours.
Please, hold on to your raffle tickets, when we get some expected additional prize support in we will be calling out a few more numbers.
All in all a great day folks, I heard ZERO complaining or cheating reports, this has to be a first for me. It speaks loads of the caliber of players who took the time to come out and play (IN THE SNOW) with us this weekend. Thank you all.
If you have any feedback please feel free to post it here or PM myself or azsworst. Its only by getting your feedback we can continue to evolve the style of event we offer, so please don't be shy.
I took loads of great pictures, expect to see them up soon.

Awesome game! Gave me the one time in probably 7 years to use all that cold weather gear I got in an airsoft game.
Well designed game, good story.

Really enjoyed the game! Kiley, you and the rest of the Hawks always put on a great op.

AEX was kind enough to get some more swag out our way this week that was slated for distribution at Grozny. Since this package is mostly apparel we have decided to forgo the logistic pain of raffling it off online and passing it out. Instead what we will be doing is including the tickets from Grozny in our next event raffle. This increases your odds of pulling a winning ticket if you attended Grozny. So, hold onto your tickets! If you cannot attend the next event be sure to trade/give tickets to friends who may be going. Thank you all for your understanding, and once again thanks for an awesome weekend!
