First game of the year
by Catch22 » Sat Dec 31, 2005 8:15 pm
Since it's public land a waiver won't be necessary.
For those that don't know how to reach 'The bridge field'
Directions to the field
1) Traveling on I-5 S toward SALEM. 0.5 miles Map or traveling I-5 north of Salem
2) Merge onto I-205 N/VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY via exit number 288 toward WEST LINN/OREGON CITY.
3) Exit onto OR-224/OR-212/CLACKAMAS HWY.Turn RIGHT
4) Road forks, Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto OR-224/CLACKAMAS HWY
5)Out of Estacada travel South on 224
6) 224 to Fall Creek Road. Left on Fall Creek
7) Follow to end. 1/4 mile. Turn Left onto Divers Road.
The next Stop sign is Squaw Mt. Rd. turn right.
9) Follow Squaw Mt road until you see what looks like a Y in the road (about 3-5 miles)
10) This is the turn off for the gravel pit (Operation artifical sweetener). That is the 4615 spur road. Do not turn left here. Stay on the main road.
11) You want the next right. That is the 4613 spur road. (I don't believe the road has any markings. If EATF dosen't put up a sign, I'll try to)
12) Follow till you come to the bridge.
13) Park on the road, (if you park off the road you can get a ticket.)
Don't forget EATF follows the same safety rules as posted on AP.COM
1. Always wear eye protection in the form of goggles, masks, or shooting glasses, or safety glasses. Never remove your eye protection while on the battlefield. Regular prescription glasses are NOT acceptable as safety eyeware. Must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards and wrap around the face.
2. Do not fire in the deadpool (or designated "safe-zones") or through it. If you must testfire your replica, take it into the hot-zone and fire it there.
3. All replicas in deadpool or safe-zones have magazine out, safety on, muzzle cap fixed. Sidearms should be holstered and on safe.
4. Do not point your replica at anyone unless you are involved in a game on the battlefield and intend to shoot them.
5. Do not fire at any person without proper eye protection.
6. Do not fire at non-participants, including animals.
7. No illegal drug use will be permitted. No alcohol use before or during a game.
8. Leave real steel firearms at home! Real steel and Airsoft DO NOT MIX.
9. Carry replicas in boxes, bags, or carrying cases while transporting gear on or off the field. Do not remove your replica from it's case near a public highway, instead carry your gear in it's case to the designated staging area for the game.
10. Remove all of your gear and trash from the field when you leave.
Rules of Engagement:
As a new player you'll want to know how these simple game mechanics work so you'll understand what to do in skirmish for different situations.
HITS & OUTS
- Anyone hit by a BB is hit and out.
- If you are "hit" during a game, 1) immediately yell "HIT!" as loud as you can, 2) place an orange or bright red bandana over your head, 3) walk back to the designated deadpool with the bandana clearly visible at all times. (Any rag, bandana, shirt, or bright cloth of the correct color is acceptable). Hold your replica in a non-threatening manner, do not fire, and do not talk or interact with other players who are still active in the game.
- Ricochet BBs do not count as hits.
- Hits to your replica do not count as hits.
- When in doubt about a hit, call yourself out.
SAFETY KILLS
When you are too close in range to be comfortable taking a shot, you can call out "SAFETY KILL" on the player in your sights. Any clean shots with no cover under 30 feet are good candidates for safety kills. Do not call it unless the kill is already a given. Always honor safety kills when they are called on you just like honoring a "HIT". Safety kills can only be called on one individual at a time, not on entire groups. "SAFETY KILL" must be said loudly, as to simulate actually firing. Silence can only be maintained if you can tag the other player out. You must be able to point your replica and call "SAFETY KILL" on every person if there is more than one.
SNIPER SAFETY
Anyone acting as a sniper with an upgraded bolt action rifle over 400 fps (1.5j) should carry a sidearm that can be used alternately when engaging targets closer than about 60 feet. If you have no sidearm and find yourself too close to the opposing force, you may either a) call a safety kill, b) wait until they move to a safe range or c) relocate to a safe range. Do not fire at targets closer than 60 feet.
BLIND MAN
This is called whenever a non-player enters the battlefield, or when a player enters the battlefield without eye protection. All players are expected to echo blind man so that everyone on the field hears it, and upon hearing it each player is expected to sit down and wait until "Game on" is called to continue the game. If necessary, game coordinators will explain the game to the non-participants.
IF LOCAL POLICE ENTER THE FIELD
This is a potentially dangerous situation, and is treated as if they don't know we are playing a game. All players are expected to walk to the deadpool in plain sight, either with their guns over their head or leaving their guns in the field. Upon reaching the deadpool each player is to place his replica with his gear and gather in a group at least 20 feet from the gear. This is to provide safety by comforting the officers by removing any equipment that appears threatening to them. Gameplay is not commenced until we explain the situation and are allowed to continue.

the day rocked! what a way to bring in the new year. ill say my luck wasnt with me, but i learned a ton about taking cover. being as i was usually watching the action from the deadpool., i got to watch many great fire fights, and tactics being put to effect by both sides,but it was really kewl to finnally meet seagreen and watch him work that m14...really kewl!!! there was a huge fire fight over the bridge in the fourth game, a four vs. one where the under dog protecting the drop zone took out three of the four before getting dropped( he took out nocte and two others i cant place).. then oohya lumbers in holding the package( not that one troy!)to get to the drop FTW!
my only advice to others... if you hear the saw... you will feel the saw, when you do ( and will you)make sure you yell "hit!" really really loud( that is one cruel beatstick, there pat!). we played a good amount of games, i actually lost count i think 4-5.
well thx EATF for hosting a awsome day
10/4
