One question, and I will probably get flogged for this, but why not allow hi-caps? I personally don't use them because I hate the rattle, but that is no reason not to let others use them. Some people that I have talked to on-line here and on my own forum, miss a lot of games around the state because of the no hi-cap attitude. These are people who want to go out and have fun, not spend obscene amounts of money on airsoft gear. They have camo, a gun, and goggles and just want to play. So they have hi-caps, that doesn't mean they are bad players.
Sky - this event sounds pretty damn cool, I will try to get the time off for this one. Last game I was able to attend ( other than my own) was OP: Area 51 Blue Ray!

This is because this is a milsim event. Rather than a shoot-shoot-I-can't-aim-so-i'll-shoot-shoot event.
As for the date of this event, that is still tentative. I have concern over getting the entire field for this event, and because the date is in the 'regular season' the field wants 250 people confirmed before releasing the entire field. Otherwise we only get the back 40, and I believe we (as airsofters) shouldn't be treated any less compared to paintballers.
So, hang tight for a date. I'll be getting a new date (and possible new location) soon.

If its not going to be a mil-sim, then why have restrictions on what types of mag's you can have?

Are you serious? This is because this is[/u[ a milsim event. Flipper, your question is legit. The thing about milsim events is that they are conducted in as realistic a fashion as possible, which means carrying low/mid capacity magazines which require reloading.

25MAR2009 Update: I just spoke to the owner at Hell Survivours and due to the outragous deposit to reserve the entire field of $4000. The event has been postponed as I search for a new location.
The owner believes paintball is more porfitable and is unwilling to mix airsoft into his summer season. Airsoft is welcome at his field, however only if we meet the deposit or off season. (Note: TFI game this weekend is 'off season'.
Needless to say, This event will not be taking place at Hell Survivous. I hope they have a good profitable Paintball season in these wonderful economic times.
I am working on a few other locations, the date for this event maybe late June, early July.

Fuck them. They were less than easy to work with for the last Area 51 game.

Damn, that sucks... Hell's Survivors is actually a pretty cool field. I only played there in that winter game this past winter, but I could tell it would be a good field in the summer. It's a shame that the owner's being stubborn...

Yeah that does suck. Oh well you would think that they'd take any penny right now too. Oh well. Well whenever, and wherever I'll still be attending.

HAHA, nice. Well yeah you can count me in for this event when it gets going. I'm cool with the no-high cap rule. Makes things a lot more fun in my opinion. Also, I really like the flag idea, would make knowing who controls what a lot easier.
Anyways, I'm gonna keep my eye on this thread and add where I can.

I have found a place! More details as it's set in stone. Target Date: June 6th, 2009 In the meantime. This will be a light Mil-Sim event, still planning on 12 hours continous play (meaning there will be no lunch break). This event will be ideal for players new to MilSim events. Teams will consist of 2 Teams: [glow=green,2,300]Echo (East) and Whiskey (West)[/glow] Requirements (tenitively): Partial Face Mask Required. <--more later on this. Player cap of 150. 75 per team. NO HIGH-CAPS!Medic system will be based on MedKits. Medics will have a limited number of MedKits, however additional MedKits can be found in the game or additional Kits can be supplied when a Medic respawns. There will also be a point system. Each player will be worth x points. And higher ranking officers will be worth more points. (Hence officers become targets!) Objectives will be Sector and Mission based. Respawns will require a squad leader/officer at the time of your team respawn. Respawns will occur every 20 minutes. Squads will consist of 6 Squads of 10 men each with the following in each squad: 1 Squad Leader 1 RCO 1 Medic or Support Gunner. 7 Rifleman 2 Sniper Teams: 1 Sniper 1 Spotter/RCO Enginnering Team: 2 Explosives Engineer (Shotgun Required as Primary) 1 Officer/RCO Officers: 3 Officers that may attach to any unit thoughout the game. Commanding Officer -CO Unit: 1 CO 1 RCO 1 Medic 2 Rifleman *All Officers will be required to carry a sidearm. All Details will be posted on www.AirsoftNewsNetwork.com

You can either go back in this thread several pages to find your answer, or you can wait for the official game announcement where we will explain pretty much everything.
