Backstory
The last battle in the brutal Oh Dang campaign ends in the Long Vu Song Valley. The air cavalry soldiers of the Lightning Brigade must push out the remaining soldiers of the Northern People’s Army but the network of NPA tunnels has become a great tool to maintain control of the valley.
We understand this event may not be for all players because we didn’t create it for all players.

FACTIONS/UNIFORM COLORS:
Contact us if you have questions.

LIGHTNING BRIGADE (LB)
All shirts/tops must be long sleeved.
Tops do not need to be military/tactical style.

Solid colors: OD green.

Camo patterns: Woodland M81 and its variations like Kukla, and ERDL. Jungle tiger stripe, green Mitchell, frog skin.
Any US,  Australian, New Zealand, South Korean, Thai, and Pilipino patterns used around the time that can’t be reasonably be confused with anything the NPA can wear is allowed. 
Modern patterns such as multicam and MARPAT are NOT allowed. 
If it came out AFTER M81, it's not allowed. 

Weapon restrictions: 
MAY NOT use AK variation rifles such as but not limited to AK, RPK, SVD, PP19, etc.
If it takes an AK magazine, you can't use it.
If it reasonably looks like an AK, you can't use it.
All other gun types are fine; M4, P90, G36, Mac 10, FAL, SCAR, Type 95, etc.
Doesn't need to be a rifle that was invented during the time period. If you want to run a SCAR, go ahead.






NORTHERN PEOPLES ARMY (NPA)
All shirts/tops must be long sleeved.
Tops do not need to be military/tactical style.
You may not wear anything that looks like LB patterns/colors.

Solid colors: Solid black, blue, brown/tan, white.

Camo patterns: Anything black to include digital.
Since the NPA uniform is somewhat more restrictive than we've done in the past, you can wear digital patterns for NPA but we'd rather you just wore a normal solid colored long sleeve shirt.

Any Chinese, Russian, Albanian, Cuban or Romanian patterns used around the time that can’t be reasonably be confused with anything the Lightning Brigade can wear is allowed. 
Examples are OBR69, and tan Panamka. 

If you wanted to wear a modern pattern that looks NOTHING like what the LB can wear like blue Type 87, that would be allowed.


If you want to wear something that MIGHT be confused for an LB pattern like KLMK or a some kind of distinct Soviet pattern that has green in it, you need at least 9 players wearing the same pattern and you'll need to use AK style rifles and tan gear this way you still standout somewhat. Contact us for approval. 
Your request MAY be denied so have a backup.

Weapon restrictions: None. AK style encouraged but not required.

The following are some basic examples of allowable uniform tops for Northern Peoples Army.
This doesn't cover all the possibilities. These are just SOME EXAMPLES.

Tank tops and short sleeve shirts like what's shown in the LB regs are also allowed for the NPA. See UNIFORM REGS.

HIT CALLING/RESPAWN RULES:
Gun hits don't count.
Each player is allowed a maximum of TWO "bandages."
EVERY teammate is a "Medic"

A single player may shoot another single player up to three times before it can be considered overshooting. If two players each shoot a single player three times, that single player is not considered to have been overshot because they were shot three times by two separate players.
If a player intentionally shoots another player after that player has made it known that they are hit, that would be considered overshooting regardless of how many times the player was shot after they declared themselves hit. This will be addressed on a case by case basis. If you shoot someone with 1 bb and they raise their hand and you intentionally shoot them again, that's overshooting.

OPTION 1
When a player gets shot, they must raise a free hand, announce, HIT, sit or lay on the ground (not kneel) and hold their DEAD RAG above their head or place it on their head.
The player may only call for BUDDY AID or MEDIC.
If you are laying down on your back or stomach and NOT holding your gun after you're hit, you do not need a dead rag. If you're dead but you look like you're in the prone shooting position, expect to be shot.
No faking being hit is allowed.
Once the teammate or medic arrives, the hit player will provide them with one of their bandages.
Teammate or medic will apply the bandage to either arm above the elbow and the player is alive again.
If the hit player goes 60 seconds without being treated, they must stand up, walk back to respawn, touch the tote and go back to playing.
You cannot be healed by anyone after 60 seconds have passed.
If you don't have your dead rag on while walking back to spawn, it's advise you hold your rifle over your shoulder so you don't look like your on patrol.

OPTION 2
When a player gets shot, they act out a 3 second dramatic death scene and lay on their back/
Sitting up and laying on your stomach is authorized but if you get shot while being dead, it's your fault.
You do NOT need a red rag with OPTION 2.
The player may only call for BUDDY AID or MEDIC.
No faking being hit is allowed.
Once the teammate or medic arrives, the hit player will provide them with one of their bandages.
Teammate or medic will apply the bandage to either arm above the elbow and the player is alive again.
If the hit player goes 30 seconds without being treated, they must stand up, walk back to respawn, touch the tote and go back to playing.
You cannot be healed by anyone after 30 seconds have passed.
If you don't have your dead rag on while walking back to spawn, it's advise you hold your rifle over your shoulder so you don't look like your on patrol.
If you acted out a 2 second dramatic death scene, you can wait 30 seconds before going back to respawn.
Once you get up and start walking back to spawn, you cannot be healed by any player.

EMERGENCY/INJURY PROTOCOL
In the event of a real emergency or serious injury, someone will call a CEASE FIRE. When admins hear this, they will blow their whistle 3 times in 3 bursts while yelling CEASE FIRE.
CEASE FIRE will only be used for REAL WORLD emergencies.
All players will repeat “CEASE FIRE” three times as loud as they can while giving the hand signal.
Any player with a radio will also put the CEASE FIRE over the radio and attempt to inform their chain of command.
After a player announces CEASE FIRE, they will remove their magazines from all their guns and remain in place.
Once it has been deemed safe by RANGE CONTROL to resume normal play, RANGE CONTROL will give a 10 second countdown followed by a long whistle blow, then give the command GAME ON over the radio and normal play will resume. When players hear the whistle, they will announce GAME ON and continue playing.
When we have completed playing, the whistle will be blown by admins, the command “ENDEX” will be given over the radio and verbally. All players who hear this will repeat the command as loudly as possible, immediately remove all magazines and head to the main entrance.
Before we start playing, CEASE FIRE and ENDEX will be practiced twice.

Participants younger than 15 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must remain at the field for the duration of the event. They don't have to be playing, they just need to be at the field.
While we allow minors to attend, our events are designed for a mature audience and require a level of self-control and respect not typically found in minors.
Please consider this before signing up or registering a minor as it can negatively affect your experience and the experience of those around you.

DRONE USAGE
The use of "drones" for gameplay purposes is forbidden.
If a ref believes a drone is being flown for the purpose of giving a player an advantage in the game, that ref will encourage players to shoot the drone down.
If you would like to use your drone for content capturing purposes, it must be pre-approved by emailing [email protected]
You may not fly your drone until it has been cleared by game admins so we can notify commanders that a content capturing drone is in the air. We may also have a ref follow you to ensure you aren't relaying information to players.
