Not that I have seen, somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but I have only seen outlets inside of the main registration trailer which run on generators. They don't typically allow players to access that area or use the outlets. Sorry! Car chargers are going to be your safest bet.

MEDIC AND HIT RULES

A lot of folks know these from previous games, but just to make sure everyone understands I have rehashed the old Medic and Grenade rules originally written for the first Grid 18. PLEASE read and understand these before you attend the game. Thank you!

Hello all, I have a question. How many batteries do you guys reccommend to have in a game like this? So far I have a Intellect 1600mah and a stock 1100mah (sticks).Do you guys think these two batteries would last the whole game?

Depends on how much you plan to fire... If you go through like 5000rds then no. Someone said it was a big estimate "Depending on gun" That the amount of mAH's in a battery is about 1:1 on rounds fired. But its not proven yet.

I'm packing 2 8.4v batteries, 1800mAh and 1500mAh. I'll probably never touch the 15. As a general rule, take however much ammo you're carrying, and add 100.

For example, I'm carrying 1000 rounds at any point. So I really only need a 1100mAh battery. To be safe, pack two. If one dies, or malfunctions, you have another. The only reason I'm packing those two is because both came with one gun or another I already bought.

If you want quality, go with Intellect batteries. I've never heard a bad thing about them. ASGI has the 8.4v 1200mAh NiMH minis for $22 each.

To the issue of battery chargers: I have a big deep cycle battery that I can run my inverter on and from there, some battery chargers. I will attempt to borrow a generator for the weekend.

I see, now, I'm planning on getting a third battery. I've been thinking of getting a 9.6v instead of 8.4v because all my other batteries are 8.4v. Now the question is would my AEG be able to handle it? My AEG has a m90 spring and a madbull tightbore. Its a Echo 1 AK74 (not the short one). Do you guys think a 9.6v would kill or strip any of my gears or other internals?

How big is the field? and how milsim, really, is the game? Is it like full on patrolling and missions and squads? or is it just two teams on opposite sides of the field? I'm not trying to be rude just wondering if the fact that it is a paintball field is a limitation.

It's a 65 acre field with another 40-50 acres surrounding it that are usable.

It is not just 2 teams on opposite sides of the field. Each team will have specific objectives and specific roles for each squad or platoon to play in accomplishing those objectives.

Sounds fun! I'm going to see if I can stir up some interest down here.

Hey Matt, any idea of there are restrictions yet on bolt action users and whether they have to wear a ghillie - and what the number is per side?
Also, are snipers restricted to 'proper ghillies' or can there be variants? (I am building a Leshy, which is a Russian variant)
