OP: RED INVASION-HAWK EYE

[toddski]

Hawk Eye

4 months ago Russian forces launched an attack on a United States missile defense base in the Czech Republic. The attack failed and the Russian forces were driven back. Since then United States was able to complete the Missile Defense System.

In response to the completion of the Missile Defense System Yury Bulyevsy, the Russian General of Staff, announced that Russia was pulling out of the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and would be deploying short range nuclear missiles along it's border.

For the last two weeks the CIA has been deploying satellites to survey the Russian Border for possible missile sites. One such site has been found, however immediately after discovery the Russians launched an anti- satellite missile and destroyed the satellite.

A download was in progress when the satellite was shot down, but the information may have survived re-entry on a data recorder. Eye's and ears on the ground confirm that the remains of the satellite landed near the southwest Ukraine province of Zakarpats'ka, this keeps US forces in range of Russian forces. The elite VDV paratroopers have been training with the Ukrainian army and can quickly respond to any attack.

What more do you want (j/k)
We are finalizing the location details right now. Looks like we have about 100 acres to use.
It will be a two day event. Friday the 24th will be the night game. Our last night event was amazing. Quite a light show.
We are modifying our props to make them even more spectacular.
Here is a shot of our transformer that actually shoot GID bb's.


Saturday will be an incredible show. You MUST bring extra batteries. Last event we had people cutting out early due to batteries. Our missions will keep you moving and fighting!

Not sure if you heard about our "crazy" Russian incident last year. One of our team members is actually from Russia. During the day training exercise, our teammate "adept" came out yelling in Russian. He was wearing a vest covered in explosives. This threw everyone off and didn't know what was going on. Adept was screaming in Russian and staggering around. Well once people figured out what was happening, adept let loose the trigger.
Here is some video. Go to 5:48 and you will see.

Wow, that's hott.

[spankie]

I got 2 batteries, so I can charge 1 while I use the other but I think I might need a new charger, for when I use the big battery in my M16 I only get off 300-400 shots (about 1 mag) b4 it goes dead.

In my weaker gun, the AUG it might be different tho....


I would just like an address if possible so I can yahoo map it to see how long the trip will be. If its by olympia that would be good because its only a 45 minute drive, even better if it was south of olympia....

[Flyerfye]

I believe it's at the new McKenna, WA AO. (Not officially sure about that)
I don't have an address myself, but that'll give you a great idea of generally where it is for travel purposes.

And it is gonna be AWESOME. And worth the drive.

[killamucho]

we used it on 2-21 skirmish. Bitter posted some footage on our boards.

This AO is brand new to us. We are working on finalizing the details for Red Invasion. The way things are laid out for objectives this field works much better.
You just better be prepared for this event.
