ELEMENT BRIEFING |
|
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT All directives outlined in the Insurrection Element Briefing Rules of Engagement are provided to give the participants involved a safe and honorable combat simulation environment. The 3 most essential rules to remember are:
1. KEEP YOUR EYE PROTECTION ON
Any participant not abiding by or abusing these rules will be dismissed by EAG Combat Simulations staff without refund.
ADMINISTRATIVE
EAG reserves the right to decline or accept any person as a participant in any simulation at any time, including prior to initiation or during a simulation.
All participants must sign both waivers and read/watch/listen to all rules and procedures of play before they may participate.
Participants under 18 must
have guardian consent. The
possession and
use of alcohol and drugs is prohibited. Persons suspected of being under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be
dismissed from the simulation without refund. No participants may enter the battlefield on Friday nor on Saturday before the simulation begins. Participants also may not enter the battlefield during the ceasefire phases of the simulation.
Props and identification devices may not be altered in any way.
EQUIPMENT
Only EAG approved equipment is allowed. Firearms, knives, and explosives are
strictly forbidden.
Observe all safety rules applicable to firearms when handling Airsoft
weapons or other devices capable of launching projectiles.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT
Radio communication equipment is authorized for use.
Use of jamming equipment is prohibited.
Scanning is authorized.
EYE PROTECTION
Our insurance requires us to tell you that facemasks with ear protection or balaclavas are required.
Facemasks with ear protection or balaclavas are required for all players under 18.
All goggles must meet the following requirements: 1. Polycarbonate lens construction that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1 or ANSI Z80.3 standards. 2. Goggles must set securely against your face. No gaps that a bb could pass through may be present. Mesh goggles are not permitted due to the possibility of debris from simulated concussion grenades.
WEAPON VELOCITY
All
participants intending to use their own equipment must report to the chronograph &
target range before signing in. Velocities and corresponding engagement distances are as follows:
Three shot average of 0-300 with.25g: Targets may be engaged on full or
semi auto at any distance (except point blank). Three shot average of 301-350 with.25g: Targets that are farther than 25' may be engaged on full or semi auto. Targets that are within 25' may be engaged with a single shot, below the shoulders.
Three shot
average of 351-400 with.25g: Targets that are farther than 100' may be
engaged on semi auto. Targets that are within 100' may not be engaged Any participant found not abiding by or abusing these standards will be removed permanently from the simulation without refund, no warnings.
BOUNDARY
No participant may move outside the perimeter of the active battlefield. Participants that travel out of bounds during play are automatically eliminated.
Participants may not shoot through the boundaries into other areas of play.
STRUCTURES
Participants who use any structures such as the urban area buildings, do so at their own risk.
INITIATION AND CESSATION
Simulation evolutions start and stop with a whistle blow. Participants can stop the simulation in a case of emergency. Participants can call out: "EMERGENCY!" if there is an injury or someone's eye protection is off. During an EMERGENCY, all participants must stop play.
No faking of injuries. This is not an acceptable tactic.
COVER
No
rearranging the field in any way or building of barricades. No
participant may take with him into the battlefield or fashion while there, an
object designed to function as a shield against being hit.
SHOOTING THE ENEMY
An advisor will be attached to each element. This advisor will be unarmed and should not be fired upon intentionally.
Blind shooting at close range is disallowed.
Headshots count. However we discourage shooting at the head, neck and groin
areas. No participant may intentionally shoot at any other participant's head or
face. Repeats will be removed permanently from the simulation without
refund.
NEUTRALITY
A neutrality symbol would be a weapon held above the head.
A
participant is emphatically disallowed from shooting at any other
participant
showing a neutrality symbol, any non-participant, any staff member or any
wildlife.
Active participants that fire upon eliminated participants who do not clearly display
the elimination signals and procedures cannot be held accountable. Eliminated participants, staff members, or spectators cannot be used as cover or shields.
Casualty Collection Point (CCP)
Elements will be assigned (1) flag with a red cross, (1) clipboard with his element's roster and (1) pen. These three items will form his element's Casualty Collection Point (CCP).
Eliminated participants should not shoot on the way to their element's CCP, as this will distract and confuse active participants. This also means no discharging blank shots.
All eliminated participants visiting their element's CCP must sign in on the CCP clipboard.
GETTING SHOT
Rounds that ricochet and hit do not count.
If a participant's weapon is hit, it is considered useless until it is taken to his element's CCP. Participants visiting their element's CCP for weapon repair must sign in on the CCP clipboard.
If
two participants hit each other simultaneously, both participants are eliminated. Any
participant caught ignoring a hit during play will be considered eliminated and
will be warned. If this happens twice the participant will be removed
permanently from the simulation without refund.
KIA
All participants will be playing by a one shot, one kill rule. If a participant is hit anywhere with the exception of the weapon, he is eliminated. To more realistically simulate "dying" on the battlefield, a participant must not raise his arms and call out that he's been hit. Instead, he should fall dead and remain in that position until that firefight has ended. When that firefight has ended the eliminated participant should rise, hold his weapon above his head and report to his element's CCP. Once the eliminated participant has signed in at his CCP, he is considered resurrected.
Knife kills and similar hand-to-hand combat is prohibited.
Staff members acting in supporting roles during the simulation may employ knife kills and similar hand-to-hand combat.
No "liberating" of weapons and/or equipment from eliminated participants unless consent is verbally expressed beforehand.
Eliminated participants are not allowed to communicate in any way with other
active participants. Eliminated participants should leave their eye protection on.
Active participants that walk with eliminated participants automatically become eliminated participants.
ENEMY PRISONERS OF WAR
Participants should ask opponents within 20ft to surrender, but they are not required to respond. If they do respond that they surrender they may be taken prisoner.
Weapons and/or equipment may be taken from EPWs but may not be tampered with
and must be returned upon release.
IEDS & GRENADES
Several trip wire improvised explosive devices (IED) will have been employed
on the battlefield prior to the start of the simulation. An explosion caused by an EAG approved IED kills any participants within 10 feet of the detonation.
An explosion caused by an EAG approved simulated concussion grenade, occurring in open terrain, kills any participants within 10 feet of the detonation.
An explosion caused by an EAG approved simulated concussion grenade, occurring in closed quarters, kills any participants within the closed quarters.
Hits caused by an EAG approved simulated fragmentation grenade/device count the same as hits from a weapon.
HONOR
Participants with tempers should leave them at home. Participants may not contact or grab anyone in an aggressive manner.
Participants may not aggressively touch anyone or cause anyone to fall. Violation
of this rule is cause for immediate and permanent removal without refund. No unsportsmanlike conduct, arguments, threats, racial or personal derogatories, abusive or foul language, taunting, provoking, obscene gestures, or verbal aggression is allowed.
Participants reported to be shouting “YOU'RE HIT!” or similar phrases at other participants will be considered to be displaying aggressive behavior and will be warned. If this happens twice the participants will be removed permanently from the simulation without refund.
Always give your opponent the
benefit of the doubt.
PHYSICAL
If a participant is out of shape or get too hot, he should pace himself. Take up a defensive position and rest. The action will eventually come to the participant. The simulation can be more physically demanding than participants may be used to. Participants with heart conditions or other ailments should have a physician's OK to play.
Airsoft is an inherently dangerous
activity, requiring significant physical exertion. Participation in
Insurrection
carries inherent risks that cannot be eliminated. Risks include, but are not
limited to, minor injuries (such as scratches, bruised or strained muscles
and ligaments), major injuries (such as loss of eyesight, joint or back
injuries, heart attacks and concussions), and catastrophic injuries (such as
paralysis or death). All Insurrection participation is voluntary. Participants
knowingly assume all such risks.
GENERAL
National, regional and local laws apply.
