The "I Spin Kicked a Blackhawk" Skirm

[Juicemachine]

As we all know, Dan McKinlay recently smashed his foot stupidly falling out of a Blackhawk at soldier school late last month. He smashed his foot into tiny little girlie pieces and could not continue. Unfortunately, that means he does not get paid for the month of March, and has missed out on a semester of school, thereby pawning his gear to make ends meet.
Therefore, in the spirit of brotherhood, and recognizing all that he does to advance the cause cause of airsoft in general, I am proud to announce the "I spin kicked a Blackhawk" event to take place at Wolf Creek Rd (follow the signs) on April 17th at 10:00 hrs
Entry fee is $5 with all proceeds going to the Darius has broken feet foundation.

What: An intense and inventive skirmish run by Eudorus, so you know it will be well organized, and, probably, something you have never done before.
When: Saturday, 17th April 2010 10:00 hrs
Where: Linky Linky
Go West on US26 until you see a blue and Red sign. Turn left up N fork Wolf Creek Rd and follow the signs from there.
Why: Because skirming is fun, and our friend had done a great deal for us.

UPDATE: Site amenities!!!
There will be a generator on site, burgers will be available for purchase and ammo will be available on sale. There will also be a selection of weapons available for rent for those whose guns go down.

UPDATE AGAIN: Backstory!!!
Precis:
It is 2008 in Georgia. Having attempted to retain the breakaway region of south Ossetia the Georgian military has failed to close the Roki tunnel is now in total retreat. Russian airborne forces have landed athwart the main road heading back to Tblisi which the Georgian military needs to use to retreat in good order. Massive Russian armoured forces are pushing through South Ossetia, have occupied Gori and are now probing deep in Georgia proper.
Refugees fleeing the fighting and expelled from their home by Ossetian separatists have set up a transit camp south of Gori. A UN resolution is expected by 4PM which will force an end to combat operations. If the Russians control this route at close of operations then they will be able to use the trapped Georgian forces as a whip hand over the Georgians in post war negotiations or, if they so decide to totally annihilate the bulk of the Georgian military, a move that would effectively spell the end of Georgian independance and might lead to a wider east/west war.

In addition large number of South Ossetian Separatist partisans are known to be in the area with the intent to cause maximum destruction of Georgian life and property in an effort to definitively secure an unassailable home for themselves.

This is a free form event. There is no winning or losing. There are only consequences. It will be up to the various factions to decide on their own course of action in accordance with their briefings. Win or lose will be a matter of hindsight.

There are two broad sides and three players groups. Each group to be briefed separately.

Side 1A) Russia: Solid colours + any eastern bloc camo
Side 1B) Georgian Separatists :All black or civilian clothing as long as boots are worn and the face is fully covered via shemagh, balaclava or similar disguise.
side 2)Georgian army: Any surplus US camo (woodland, DCU, tigerstripe, 6 colour desert, etc) or MARPAT

Multicam and ACU & DPM were not in use during this conflict, therefore they will not be allowed

ANOTHER UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
The playsite is about 4 miles up the main road, making all left turns as you go up.

[Jebus!]

I am looking forward to this event. You can count on me being there.

[Darius137]

I guess I can make this. The Blackhawk's family is suing me for malicious kicking IV.

[f-bomb]

I don't think I would be able to make it to this but is there a paypal or something I can send money to? I don't think anyone should have to sell their hard earned gear to make ends meet.

[Patrick750]

I think he jumped out. i'll try to make it.

No donations. This will be a fun skirmish, and $5 to have it properly organized and well ran. It will be fun and more than worth the cost.

FRIES = Fast Rope Insertion / Extraction System

Just like this video (rappelling down a rope) only from a blackhawk, and about 75 feet up.
