Event Description

This is not an event hosted by Diamond Corps

Sent from our buddy with the Flamethrower:

'The wait is finally over! After several months of anticipation, the snow has melted on our field and we're ready! Since we are playing on national forest land, our events are free!

Please try to arrive at around 10:30 to chrono your guns and load up, the safety briefing with begin promptly at 11:00. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE AT THE FIELD BEFORE 10:00, as fellow organizers and myself may not be present.

We will have a 30 minute lunch break at 2:00, food is not provided on site.

All AEGs must chrono below 400 FPS, if your gun is over 400 FPS we will ask you to use a different weapon.

We also allow sniper rifles, if they chrono under 400 FPS.

Due to the thin atmosphere at the field, you must be 40 feet or farther from an enemy to engage with an AEG. If you find yourself within 40 feet of an enemy use a pistol or shotgun.

These rules and others will be gone over in detail at the safety briefing.'

Post any questions you might have.
The AO is confirmed off of exit 155 off Hwy 80 onto Blue Canyon Road.

Comment by Phoenix on August 3, 2010 at 11:51pm: I'm freaking jazzed. I think its 'cause I'll be toting my new gun, but I don't know why really.

Comment by Komissar on August 2, 2010 at 11:31am: Hey Joe,
This is not being run by Diamond Corps, or myself. We will be guests as well.
This event is being hosted by a father and son who had been to my field in 2009. Nice guys.

I too have played in altitudes from Truckee and Tahoe, to the the Stockton Harbor, and have never seen a noticeable difference in chrono.
I also agree that the 40 foot non-engagement with AEG doesn't make any sense. Most fields use 'bang' rule set at 20 or 25 feet.
Even most gas pistols fire 325-375 fps, so I don't understand what difference it will make going to a pistol at under 40 feet.
I am hoping that at the briefing we can explain and clarify some of these issues.

Finding the AO should be no problem. I haven't been there, but exit 155 off Hwy 80 should be easy enough. It appears to be out by a small airfield near Alta.
See you there.

Comment by Joe Laderoute on August 2, 2010 at 8:07am: I really dont think the atmosphere is going to effect anyones AEGs, I play in tahoe all the time and down in the valley and i have never noticed a difference other than the temperature. I think 40 feet might be a little too far for a minimal engagement distance but I dont make the rules so komissar thats up to you to revise that or let it stand. Also is the meet up spot easy to find cause the directions say just off exit 155 blue canyon road. see you guys soon

Comment by Komissar on August 1, 2010 at 3:50pm: Thanks Bluewolf, I'll keep you posted.

Comment by Phoenix on August 1, 2010 at 2:38pm: I'll bring mine but my computer is convinced its corrupt so it'll take a bit to upload the pictures.

Comment by Max Gotzmer on August 1, 2010 at 2:05pm: i might be able to bring a camera up. its just a digital camera not super crazy good but if noone can bring one it will get the job done.
