[spankie]

If I do go I will be on the rominan army and the people without woodland on team W.H.A.T. can be part of the C.I.A.

[Nocte]

Are there any pictures of or details about the field?

[White_Knight]

Maybe I'm just missing something but I'm not clear on what the fighting is about in this one. Is it the loyal followers of the former leader against the UN forces?

[Treadhead]

I will be going to the field Sunday and taking pictures and post them. The field is 150 acres and will have between 100 and 200 additional acres by game day. We are currently in the building stages of the fighting positions and bunkers. I will keep the info going each day on our progress. The field is very user friendly, I should know since splat action wipes my fat a$$ out on the hills and I can spend all day on this field.

Sorry about that, my 1st game.
Nicolae Andruta Ceausescu and his wife are being held prisoner by the UN Forces awaiting trial by a military tribunal from Romania. The UN are preety much in charge of protecting Nicolae and Elana from the Romanian antigovernment demonstrators that want to hang Nicolae from the nearest tree. Mass Murder, corruption, and the destruction of the economy pretty well has taken its toll on the people of Romania.
1989 - Ceausescu is now the head of state, the head of the Communist Party, the head of the armed forces, chairman of the Supreme Council for Economic and Social Development, president of the National Council of Working People, and chairman of the Socialist Democracy and Unity Front.
On 16 December antigovernment demonstrations begin to break out in Timisoara in the west of Romania. The next day, as large numbers of protesters march on the Communist Party headquarters in the city, Ceausescu orders his security forces to fire on the crowd. Up to 4,000 die during the days of conflict that follow. The 'Revolution of Timisoara' ends on 20 December when the demonstrators take control of the city, aided by army defectors.

Bottom line, The CIA and the UN Peacekeepers are working together to keep the Ceausescus prisoner until trial.

The Romanian Army along with the UN has recently begun to support the National Salvation Front against the hated Ceausescu regime. Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu are held on the outpost, and the UN's mission is to guard them and prevent their escape or rescue by the Death Squads. This task is taken very seriously—if the Ceausescus were to escape, the Death Squads would continue their terror campaign indefinitely while the Ceausescus would become rich exiles like Amin, Marcos, and Duvalier. Romania would bleed to death.

The Securitate or Secret Police are loyal to Nicolae and want to break the couple out of jail. The Death Squad are basically the extremist division of the securitate and will kill anyone even if Nicolae is executed.

The Securitate Elite Hostage Rescue Team are of the same breed as US Delta Forces, British SAS, etc. The best of the best in Romania.

The Spetsnaz are also loyal to Nicolae and the communist party. They could care less about collateral damage, their agenda is to keep Nicolae in power and the total control of the people.

I have more info, does this help?

Not to be nit picky but ACU isn't exactly Cold War era.
Is it?

So......UN, CIA, Hostage Rescue Team, Romanian Army vs Secret Police, Spetsnaz?

Too many sides I think dude

What about UN and Romanian Army vs Ultranationals?

Just breaking the teams down, The two primary sides will be Romanian Army and the Ceausescu loyalists. The UN will be on the side of the romanian army.

Not to be nit picky but ACU isn't exactly Cold War era.
Is it?

I do realize that the 2 main uniform patterns were OD and Woodland. Just trying to include current patterns, not necessarily keeping with actual uniforms since there are so many mixed types out there. The reason for ACU for UN was because many have ACU and if UN player were able to include UN colors then the ACU may not stick out so much.

You're calling the Korean war a peacekeeping operation?
I'd love to see a Cold War theme but ultimately it should be something straight forward. NATO vs Warsaw Pact would probably attract more people.
Not sure if 100 people minimum will happen isn't T1T hosting a game that week end?

No.......

I would make it a "UN Peacekeeping Mission themed event". Stuff like this didn't really happen that often during the Cold War (Wasn't the Korean War the only real Peacekeeping operation until the '90s?)

I had considered the Peacekeeping Mission idea but this is one team trying to free Ceausescu to continue his reign of terror and the other executing him so the killing stops.

Here's an idea, you could make it a full weekend, go to Welcome to Hell on Friday, camp, play Saturday, finish the game at around 4, then go to Iron Anvil 2 on Sunday. , just trying to give players an option if they can't make a sunday game.

Is there any room for a Flecktarn pattern?

[Treadhead]

I would like to put Flecktarn with the Romanian army.

Is this the first Friday/Saturday Op since Solomon's Pass?
As long as I remember... that was the last one I went to. Because those are the only only ones we're able to go to.
Dang, that was 2 years ago... I was 14.

So you have made us very happy, thankyou. We need more Fri/Sat Ops...
