Uniform Requirements:
This is a Vietnam-themed airsoft event, created for those players who have expressed interest in this type of themed play. One of the important factors in creating an immersive and enjoyable Vietnam scenario is the willingness of participants to take on a basic uniform appearance appropriate for the era in question. This event has very liberal Uniform Requirements compared to most ‘Nam milsim events, but these will be enforced. You must wear acceptable Nam-inspired uniform and headgear, or you will be turned away on game day. We will not make exception just because you drove a long way and want to play, or say you “didn’t know” about the requirements. If this means we only have 5 people show up that meet the requirements, then we will play with only 5 people that day. We reserve the right to turn anyone away that does not meet event requirements as stated or that does not conform to the spirit of the event.

NVA/VC uniforms:
-100% repro or original NVA (Khaki or light green, not OD) or VC (solid Black VC style) uniforms

If the AEG in question can be made to fire FULLY AUTO, it doesn't matter WHAT YOU SAY IT IS, it is NOT a Sniper Rifle.

FIELD GEAR

Do your best NOT to use any modern vest or field gear made after the Vietnam War. Chicom chest rigs/chest rigs are preferred for NVA/VC and M1956/M1961/M1967 web gear is preferred for US. However, LC1 and LC2 Alice gear is allowed. Paired down modern gear is acceptable if that is all you have. Do not come with decked out plate carriers, Velcro patch panels, etc….This is not SWAT or DELTA. You are playing the part of a 1960-1975 era warrior, do your best to look the part. It can be done cheaply. (you can find alice web gear and pouches in just about any surplus store, cheap!) Alice gear also acceptable for NVA/VC and chest rigs acceptable for US.

Use ANY era solid color:
-Suspenders
-Web belts
-Holster (must be belt holster, no drop-legs!)
-Rucksack/butt pack/bread bag (no MOLLE)
-Pouches
-Canteens

-visible Camelbaks (hide it in a pack or bag, use canteen if at all possible, also found cheap)

http://www.combatsportsupply.com is a an excellent place to find Vietnam era repro gear at decent prices...

RADIOS

One per squad and one back up (back up may be carried by someone else, but must be kept turned off unless original goes down or RTO is taken out) is allowed for use by a squad chose RTO (radio operator). NO tactical headsets. ONLY the RTO may use the radio to communicate with others on his side unless he is taken out, then back up may be used until RTO re-joins squad. Back up must be turned back off
when RTO re-joins squad. (Note: everyone should bring a radio with them in case they are chosen by their squad to be their squad’s RTO or back up RTO).

HAND GRENADES

Each player may carry up to 4 BB firing or sound generating (i.e. BK TP grenades) grenades on them to represent a grenade. The uses of the grenades are also limited. Grenades should be used only against buildings/bunkers with 3 or more walls.If a grenade goes off inside a room or bunker, all players in THAT room or bunker are dead. Players are responsible for providing their own "grenades" if they wish to carry them. Grenades thrown in open areas will NOT carry a “blast” radius and will be ignored (you may throw in open areas for distraction or effect, but not for “kills”). Grenades are only to be deployed in buildings or bunkers as described above for “kills”.

MEDIC RULES

Medic Requirements:
-One roll of Medic tape (event will supply tape for medics)

Procedure:

When a player is hit, he is to pull out a RED death rag, place it on his head, and sit, kneel, or lie in place at the location where he was hit. He may call out for a medic for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes he bleeds out and must respawn. He must bleed out the entire 5 minutes. Respawn points will be designated at the event.

When a medic notices he is needed, he goes to the wounded player, or another player may drag the wounded player back to a safe spot with one hand allowing the wounded to WALK. Two unwounded players can put a hand each on the wounded player and can JOG. If the rescuing player is shot while trying to get the wounded player to a safe spot then they both stop and call out for medic.

The medic is not invincible in combat. The medic may try and drag the wounded player to a safe spot but if he is hit, he is wounded like anyone else would be. When the medic makes it to the wounded player, he must take out his roll of tape and wrap the wounded players upper arm (between the elbow and shoulder) with two wrap arounds/strips of tape. Once this procedure has been comleted, the wounded player may take off their red rag and rejoin the fight. If the player just “healed” is then hit again at some point during the game and has tape on his arm, he is then “KIA”, must sit for 5 minutes and CAN NOT call out for a Medic. Once his 5 minutes is up, he is to get up and go to respawn where he may then take off his tape and rejoin the figtht.

If a medic does not reach a wounded player AND complete the “healing” procedure within 5 minutes of the player being hit, the player has “bled out” and must go to respawn. Once at respawn, the player is to take off any tape on his arm from a previous “healing”, take off their red rag, and then rejoin the fight when they are ready (immediately or they may rest and drink if they choose and come back when ready).

Somebody should make a Facebook event page for this. I would but I don't know who plans events and all that.

[clinkman]

Why should it have a facebook page?

[chrisdetrin]

cause if you can link it to my account i got over 100 poeople in the area that could spread the word.

[chrisdetrin]

also try to talk to spook his guys like the VN stuff if i remember right.

[clinkman]

Yeah, I know Spook, and I'm sure he has seen this and would come if he could. I'm not really worried about having big numbers of people at this game...the reason why I limited it to 40 per side, but will not bother me at all if I do not have 80 people there. I'm more concerned with people coming that really want to do this kind of thing and that are really interested in the Vietnam era, not just filling up slots. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[chrisdetrin]

[Bane]

I should be coming but I'm not entirely sure yet. If I do I'll either have an M16 or a CYMA M14 (the full-size one of course). Is there an fps limit or anyfing like that? Goggles and such? Sorry it you said it in the first post I'm just too lazy to read through the whole thing again.

[clinkman]

[chrisdetrin]

[Chanesaw]

I would like to come do you know if it is close to roane county? I have some U.S uniform and would like to be on team usa but i have an ak 72.

[Bane]

Ok fanks. I would bring my sniper but ya know, it's an L96. Not really era appropriate. What about sidearms? With any luck I'll have a classic, blued, WWII/Vietnam era 1911 GBB. But if I don't all I have is dual C11's. They're replica's of the Beretta 9000-S so not really era appropriate either. My main weapon will definitely be either an M16 or an M14 AEG as stated above. Other than that I'll have OD BDU pants, probably an OD T-shirt, and maybe, just maybe, a Flak Jacket. It depends on whether or not I can find one at a surplus store before then. And whether or not I have the funds to purchase said Flak Jacket. That'd be truly beast wouldn't it?! Rip the sleeves off ma shirt and wear a Flak Jacket and it'd be like those old Vietnam news clips. Obviously if I come I wanna be on the U.S. team.


edit:
Ok so forget the Flak Jacket. I just called my closest surplus store and they said it'd be nearly $200 for a Flak Jacket. But if I come I will have an M1 Helmet. Oh and it says that for players under 16 a parent must sign the waiver, be present at the field and/or playing. I'm sorry but WHAT? And/or playing? Do they have to play or is being present at the field enough? Because if they're playing they would automatically be at the field right? I'm confuzzled!

[clinkman]

[clinkman]

[Bane]

Oh any weapon is good? I still probably have the M16 or -14 but I'll bring my L96 too in that case. It'll be my first battle with it since the upgrades. I'm most likely going to be there I'm just trying to figure out logistics. Ya know, carpooling and all that. Could you maybe put my name down for U.S. and then have like a backup list or sumink in case people back out? If not I understand.
