Camo: Latvia = Green / Estonia = Tan (Please no Multi-Cam)

Back Story: War between Latvia and Estonia shocked the world when it first began almost 2 years ago. What first started out as a dispute between two neighboring countries over the ownership of a 4th century mine near the border has turned into a full scale war. The mine was found near the city of Valga in the country of Estonia and contained rare treasures from history. The mine was lost to the world when the Teutonic order sealed the entrance during the Teutonic Wars in the 13th Century. A historical research team from the neighboring city of Valka in Latvia found the mine and began to excavate the site when the Estonia Government stopped the excavation, claiming the research team was secretly stealing from the dig site. That sparked a war of words that soon turned into violent and hostile action between the two countries. Both sides held no punches back as they went to war over the ownership of the mine. Six months after the war began Latvia pushed the army of Estonia back across its boarders over 50 miles to the city of Tartu. It’s at this city the war has been fought to a stalemate.

Just outside the city of Tartu, the Estonian Army has occupied an old castle and has fortified the area. It’s from this area that they are launching a counter offensive trying to push back the Latvian Army. Estonia has even attempted to outflank the Latvian Military by sending a division of armor around the body of water known as The Tartumaa through Russian territory. It’s that tactical move that has Russia looking for an end to this war, so to prevent any more encroachment on their territory by Estonia.

It’s here at this castle near the city of Tartu, that the Latvian Army with support of The Russian Spetsnaz are planning to assault and destroy this key Estonia Military site to bring about the end of this war. The Russian Spetsnaz will Parachute in at night and destroy key military targets for the morning attack by the Latvian Army. All the sides are gearing up for what could be the last battle in this war…

The Games:

This event is going to be a military simulation style event. We will be using the Squad system from the battle for Durbond with one change.

*Each team may have 2 Sniper teams of two people these teams may not capture points or VO’s at any time during the event; they may function as a normal strength squad otherwise.

Saturdays Day game will be a land grab scenario. There will be a number of predetermined flag positions on the field to own a position your teams flag must be up. Points for these positions will be scored every 15 min throughout the day. Different positions are worth different points. This game will last 5 hours

Night Game 1 will be a basic patrol where your team needs to be at a certain position at a certain time. This game will last 1.5 hours

Night Game 2 will be an airborne drop done by one of the teams (TBD) very interesting and NEW! This game will last 2 hours.

Sunday will be an RTO system game! This game will last 7 hours.

We cannot wait to see you all out there!

Rules: Sunday's RTO Game

A) Object – The object is to accumulate as many “Victory Objectives” (VO) on the battlefield before time elapses. VOs are scattered all over the battlefield, each one marked with a note indicating which side the VO belongs to, how many points it’s worth, and if there are any requirements before a side can capture it. Generally, the farther away the VO is located, the more points its worth. VOs for the apposing side cannot be moved unless they were in possession of it and had to abandon it in combat, or if it was captured form a stockpile at the enemy base. Both sides will have a map with every VO location on it, however they will not know the requirements needed to move it, how many points it’s worth or which side it’s for.

B) HQ – Each side will start the game at their HQ. The HQ will serve as the casualty collection point for troops that are not able to be healed in the field, as well as a location for the VOs to be stockpiled after they are collected. If the HQ is captured the enemy may take any two VO’s from the stockpile that they want (ignoring the requirements needed to move it).

C) Casualties – If one becomes a casualty they have two options. 1) call out for a medic and hope that he heals you. 2) return to your HQ where healing is automatic. Patrol casualties, have no bleed out time, they can wait as long as they want for a medic unless their whole squad is destroyed. If the patrol becomes a casualty and must abandon any VOs that they had (either they were all dead or were unable to meet the requirements to move it) the enemy can now try to capture it (same requirements to move it apply), as the other team must drop the VO where they are at. Casualties at an HQ or returning to an HQ when it’s under attack have only one option, they must go to a designated rally point and wait 15mins for respawn (the 15mins starts with the first casualty. After the 15mins is up anyone in the rally point is alive). If one patrol destroys another and the victorious patrol is within 35 yards of the enemy HQ and they wish to attack it, they must inform the casualties so they can head to the casualty rally point.

D) Patrol – A patrol is a force of no less then 3 individuals and has no cap on how many members that it can have. There are different missions that a patrol can do and these are; Recon (scouting out the enemy and VOs), Ambush (setting an ambush at an enemy VO), Defending (defending the HQ or another random location) Combat and Recovery (Looking for VOs to collect or engaging the enemy). A person on their own can’t operative by themselves.

*A Sniper team is a two man team that can run any type of mission but is unable to capture VOs. Each team is allowed to deploy up to 4 sniper teams.* This is the correct way snipers will be handled

We will be using the TFI Medic System for this event.

MG36! Thank you TFI! You guys threw one hell of a game at Hell's Survivors with Op Durbond, I can't wait to attend this game. I'm just waiting to find out whether or not my +1 is going to be on vacation or not during the 11th-12th and then I'll be pre-registering.

[Task Force: Iris]

Looking forward to seeing you out again Gunny!
