War Game Scenarios at ACS Airsoft
ACS events offer players an elevated gaming experience by utilizing exclusive in-game mechanics. Our combat scenarios will feature a loose chain of command allowing players easy access to real-time updates. Other in-game mechanics include the use of attrition, leveraging casualties of war to gauge the game's progression to allow for longer modes (40-50 min) while also maintaining the balance between forces.
Additionally, players will have the opportunity to loot the field and may keep in-game rewards such as bb’s, patches, and Pyro. Lastly, the use of fireworks, vehicles (pov), weighted grappling dummies,
in-game medics and bolt cutters will offer an immersive mission set, allowing the players to get hands-on with props and objectives.
Event Lore
Welcome to Paducah, Kentucky! A river-town established in the early 1800s at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers, only 50 miles upstream of the Mississippi. Once known as Pekin, Paducah was named after a sub-tribe of the Chickasaw by William Clarke, of the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Paducah was a rich trading community with access to valuable animal furs, farmland, and natural resources. Western frontiersmen leveraged these economic opportunities and quickly built dry docks for steamboats, brick factories, and iron ore furnaces, and even began to hold annual trading festivals such as Tater Day. Lloyd Tilghman engineered Paducah’s first railway giving access to refrigerated goods. It was estimated that more than 70% of our nation's Bananas passed through Fulton, KY a nearby depot that restocked train cars with ice on their way to Chicago.
In the mid-1800s our nation’s political and economic structure began to shift as the industrial revolution was on the horizon. Tensions grew between those with differing ideologies, leaving many with a divided house. Common debates during this time included taxes, tariffs, and a state’s right to self-govern without federal intervention. Paducah’s attempts to remain neutral amongst these struggles were short-lived as Fort Anderson was captured without firing a single shot. What was once a regional hospital was now commandeered by the Federal Army along with all its medical supplies and food rations. A series of raids by rebellious townsmen yielded supplies, horses, and work mules from the fort while suffering the casualties of 150 men.
In late January, a winter storm brought both beauty and destruction to the Jackson Purchase Territory, with the accumulation of 2.5 inches of ice along with 13 inches of snow. Life changed abruptly as access to basic needs such as food, water, and a reliable source of heat was difficult to obtain resulting in 65 fatalities. With federal gunships moving in along the Mississippi River, rebels have begun constructing a hidden series of tunnels beneath the town to seek safe trade, travel, and medical attention under the threatening presence of the Federal Army. This is our last stand; this is Operation Ice Pick.
