For you Battlefield 2 players out there…AirsoftMissions.com is sponsoring a Ranked server for beginners. We’re handing our reserved slots for airsoft players, first come first serve. Drop your player nic in an email to us and join up for a game.

The server is running 24/7 but games usually start 12-1p (Central Time) and after 8pm most days until folks get tired.

Rules are simple…don’t be a jerk. That’s it. Friendly Fire is off, teams switch sides and randomize every round for maximum fairness. If you like a map request it and an admin can ad it in.

If you haven’t played Battlefield 2 it’s on sale now at Amazon.com for $8. That’s right $8!!!

That’s a crazy amount of fun for eight clams. See our Amazon link on the lower left and buy that sucker and join in the fray. Winter time is here…what else you gonna do? Go freeze your butt off and ruin your guns?

FRAG OUT!

OK skirmishers, the poll for airsoft team roles is now closed. We got enough votes to make some notes about who’s not picking up their fair share of scut work on the battlefield.

Airsoft Team Roles Poll

Quick run down, Squad leader came in the number one spot at 30% of skirmishers polled, and Rambo (cannon fodder) came in last just below the lowly and unloved medic at 6% and 5% respectively. Based on the airsoft skirmishes we’ve played, I don’t think this poll is far off the mark. Everybody wants to run their own crew out there and if they don’t they are inevitably sporting a sniper rifle. I was surprised at how few votes Team Commander got, but for those who have done it…you know it’s a shit job. Everybody yells at you, even if your team wins the day.

Keep these results in mind next time you step on a field, not everybody can be a Chief. We need some Indians out there too. I’m looking at you snipers!

Episode 1

Dr. Phish takes you through the first ever Midwest Airsoft Assault podcast with Darn-U-Kids from Airsoftmissions.com as a guest to talk about what’s coming up in future airsoft podcasts.

Synopsis:
Based off the 1978 movie of the same name, The Wild Geese tells the true story of a British mercenary team sent into Africa to rescue a political prisoner. Inspired by true events, when President Limbani is overthrown in a coup d’etat, only members from a generation of men who served their country against the world’s greatest evil can prevail. Discharged from service after WW2, they were unable to make peace work, and sold their services in the worlds hottest trouble spots to the highest bidder.

When President Julius Limbani is overthrown and imprisoned, the British Financier Sir Edward Matherson contracts retired British Col. Allen Faulkner. Matherson finances an operation to rescue President Limbani as he has copper mine investments in the region that he wants protected. Col. Faulkner contacts fellow retired brothers in arms; Capt. Rafer Janders, LT Shawn Fynn, and LT Pieter Coetze to assemble a band of “over the hill, but not out of the game” veterans to take on the mission of rescuing President Limbani.

Their story goes on to tell about the viscous fighting of the Simbas, the group that has kidnapped President Limbani, and what they will do to keep him in their possession.

Today you will have to do the same. As a British mercenary you will “parachute” into the region, locate President Limbani who is being held inside of a Simbas’ base. You will have to rescue Limbani, move him to a deserted airstrip, and wait to be picked up by a cargo plane. Should everything go to plan, expect to be home for afternoon tea… should everything go to plan…

Medics
Since one of the coolest characters in the movie was portrayed by the medic, Medical Orderly Arthur Witty, the TOD for this event will be concentrated on medics and medical support in the field. Today we want everyone to try and use the “Wounded player carry/drag” rules and our medic system instead of walking out to a respawn point. Stay together as a unit, pull your wounded to safety until a medic can assist them. The best way to make it out of the area is too stay as one unit, not using medic rules or the medic system will get you separated from your team and might cost them in lives.

Medic Rules
Each player will be supplied with a short piece of rope, when hit, a player must call for a medic. When a medic arrives he will have a stack of cards on him. The wounded player will draw a card, dependent on how many numbers are on the card indicates how many knots the medic must tie in your rope. you may continue to play until you have three knots tied in your rope.

If no medics are available you are required to stay where you are hit for a period of 5 minutes in order to bleed out, after 5 mins, you may walk back to your respawn point.

Examples:
1. You are hit and draw a “3″, the medic ties three knots in your rope and you are back in the action, the next time you are hit you must return to your base to re-spawn.
2. You are hit and have 2 knots tied in your rope, if you draw a 1 you may continue to play, if you draw a 2 or 3 you must return to your base in order to re-spawn.
3. You are hit and have 1 knot tied in your rope, if you draw a 1 or 2 you may continue to play, if you draw a 3 you must return to your base in order to re-spawn.

At anytime if you draw a card marked “KIA” it signifies a head shot and you are dead and must return to your base to re-spawn.

After you reach three knots, you must re-spawn at your base when you are killed, upon re-spawning, you will untie your knots.

Medic Cards:
4 types of medic cards will be used for this event in order to depict the severity of wounds.
1. Card marked with a 1, indicates a superficial wound
2. Card marked with a 2, indicates a moderate to severe wound, most likely an limb
3. Card marked with a 3, indicates a torso wound
4. Card marked with a KIA, indicates a head shot

Wounded Player Drag/Carry:
Any live player may carry any wounded player back to a medic or away from direct action. To carry a wounded player you will need to grab the player by the shoulder and escort them. While carrying a wounded player the live player may continue to fire his weapon, the wounded player may not. At anytime if the live player breaks psychical contact with the wounded player, the wounded player must stop moving, he cannot move under his own accord. Live players carrying wounded players may not run, they must walk. We the staff at Midwest Airsoft Guerillas would like to see players actually dragging wounded players back to safety, since we cannot enforce an actual “drag” rule, we simply recommend that if the wounded player wishes to be dragged for realism, then please, feel free to try it out.

Mission Type: Minor

Mission Length: 60 minutes

Field Type: Woodland works best

Requirements: A lot of space

Concept: A classic game of hunters and hunted

Teams: One hunted (clearly marked by civilian clothes etc.) versus the rest hunters

Objective: A player is thrust into a “deadly” game of cat-and-mouse. He must avoid all other players for 60 minutes before evac arrives. The hunters must of course hunt and tag their prey and escort him to a marked safe zone. The hunter to bring the prey in wins but after time runs out and the hunted is not within the possession of a hunter he wins.

Rules: Hunted is given 5 minutes to take the field. He may be equipped with a pistol or a small SMG (AEGs will be accepted). The prey should have very limited ammo to make this work. After 5 minutes the hunters take the field simultaneously and the hunt begins. Important note: Hunters are on their own. Each man is his own team, and only one man can win. You must tag the prey to capture him. Once captured they prey moves with you on the field. If you are shot by fellow hunter during escort, the prey is considered free and can take off again. You get no points or bonus for shooting the prey, but he can shoot any hunter on the field in defense. Once captured by any hunter, the prey can no longer fire his weapon until he is “free”. Hunters without captured prey may shoot each other but get no points for doing so, and respawn as normal.

Respawn Rules: Hunters may respawn twice with a two minute break period.

Scoring: Win/Lose: The hunter who brings in the prey wins, if at the end of the time the prey is still on the field, he wins.

-1 Difficulty: The number of prey increases.
