Event Description

READ THE OPERATION RULES

UNIFORMS: US-MIL: ACU, ABU, MARPAT, Woodland BDU with matching cover, Desert BDU with matching cover. OPFOR: Incomplete unforms with or without cap or shemagh, Woodland BDU, Desert BDU or OD with or without shemagh but no cover/cap. ***NEW: CIVILIAN CLOTHES. Please think about the poison oak, terrain and other people when selecting this option, but Just Joe inspired me to include it.***

REGISTRATION: Send all registration to ironspiderregistration@comcast.net. Include your name, uniform styles available and flexibility (can you play either team?) WALK ON'S NOT ALLOWED, YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY UNLESS YOU REGISTER BEFORE JUNE 6TH, 2012.

Background:On 15.10.11, a military operation using US Army Rangers, USMC and USAF Combat controllers entered a purported insurgent stronghold in the Nangahar Province to exact revenge for the killing of an entire Ranger team the previous evening. During the operation, not only did the US Task Force (code named Forlorn Hope) fail to stop critical intelligence from being removed from the primary objective, they were also unable to kill or capture a high value target, later to be confirmed as the local insurgent group’s handler for either the Taliban or Al Qaeda. While both those are being reviewed by military leadership, what is drawing Washington into the arena is the murder of two local villagers who, while being later discovered to be part of the insurgent group and armed, were not displaying their weapons and the US soldier suffered minimal consequences. The world media, particularly Al Jazeera, have attacked the outcome and unrest is growing in the Province.

CIA Operatives on station have reported an increase in Taliban, Al Qaeda and just angry villagers arming and trying to sway support away from the Americans who up till this point had a strong influence due to humanitarian efforts. US Army Ranger units in the area have also reported increased incidents of taking indirect fire while on convoy and the presence of IED/road side bombs.

THERE WILL BE AN ATTENDANCE CAP

To make sure we all have fun and nothing gets too bogged down, I am capping the event to 32 people, two sides of 16. (we are as of 10:00am on 5/21, at 11 registered)

WE ALSO NEED CIVILIAN VOLUNTEERS.

Being a civilian volunteer is open to OPFOR registrants and will require a cover for your uniform (thrift store bed sheet cut like a poncho is acceptable). See Scramble's helmet cam video from IS1 for why this might be a fun option for you :)

Comment by Phoenix on June 2, 2012 at 9:14pm: Some are slotted already like Jensen and Wild Bill by virtue of their uniform availability or personal choices.

Comment by Hi-Cap on June 2, 2012 at 5:38pm: Im willin to do whatever, but i only have woodland camo

Comment by Bluewolf on June 2, 2012 at 5:08pm: Hey Seamus, can you post a list of those that have pre-registered so we can yell at the slow pokes?

So far as far as I know Wild Bill and I will be running OPFOR

Comment by Phoenix on June 2, 2012 at 2:39pm: There are only 6 more slots open for IS2; 3 US and 3 OPFOR. The teams are mostly set just waiting on any last people between now and the 6th before I finalize them. People who are running teams, I need to know how important it is to run on the same team as we have many who have only one uniform style.

Note: Some will be getting blast-o-gram style orders and some will be getting more specified orders. If you are a recipient of an email with specific orders, please read thoroughly as there will be information you need to know that we may or may not go back over at the OP.

Comment by Preacha on June 1, 2012 at 6:52pm: No doubt! I can't wait to be back in the land of reasonable cost of living.

Comment by Hi-Cap on June 1, 2012 at 6:11pm: sounds good, i also might have a future in texas, i could live like a king out there.

Comment by Preacha on June 1, 2012 at 6:09pm: Haha...seriously. I bought the bbs to be shot at folks and I won't be shooting for a while after this op, because I'm PCSing to Texas in August and starting a new job. That being said, if I can help a fellow player out, I'd be happy to give them away but I didn't figure you'd go for a freebie. So, seriously ten bucks is good :).
