OP: SAFARI STRIKE! June 4, 2005 - Presented by Tea

[DH1]

OPERATION: SAFARI STRIKE!

Location: Pinnacle Woods, Chardon, Ohio
Date: Saturday, June 4, 2005

Overview:

After eluding rebel armies and fleeing to Macara, Makame Ruzuka (son of Antoga's late Pres. Daktari Razuka) has been planning his return to his small central Africa nation to assist in liberating his people from the rebel occupation which assassinated his family and assumed hostile control over the tiny central African nation. Shortly after his arrival in Macara, Razuka was whisked away to the United States where he has since been furnishing the government with information about the Antoga rebels and their ties to terror groups and the central African drug empire.

Since the rebel armies overthrew the Razuka democratic regime, this area has flourished once again as a manufacturing base for heroin and cocaine intended for European, East Asian, and North American markets. It has become a safe haven for central African drug traffickers operating worldwide, and is a major money-laundering center abundant with massive corruption and criminal activity. Most importantly within the past year, distinct links have been made tracing the revenues of this illicit drug trade to the operational funding of known terror groups operating out of parts of central Africa. Intelligence has also established direct ties between members of the Antoga rebel leadership and several know terror suspects believed to be hiding out in the central African nation. Since coming to power, the Antoga rebel authority has severed all ties with the US, along with the rest of the world, thus removing any diplomatic option of resolve. 6 months ago, the country of Antoga was placed on the US watch list as a state sponsor of terror and terrorist operations.

Within the past several months, satellite and unmanned reconnaissance drones have turned over compelling evidence showing the locations of known drug labs and possible terrorist training camps which are under the control and protection of the Antoga rebel authority. A covert US campaign (code named Operation: SAFARI WATCH) has already begun with elements of small unit special forces teams on the ground working along side forces loyal to the ousted Razuka regime. A planned US invasion is imminent and SOCOM has been given the green light to conduct ground level strikes against the Antoga rebels and these locations. The main aim of these assaults will be targeted at destroying and disrupting the Antoga rebel authority and their terror funding drug trade, and bringing suspected terror suspects believed to be hiding out their in to US custody. SOCOM directive 1081.2 has been code named Operation: SAFARI STRIKE!

Uniforms:
US: Desert DCU’s (preferable US tri-color, but any tan based DCU’s)
Rebel forces: Woodland BDU’s (preferable US woodland, but any green based BDU’s)

EVENT UPDATE – 04/15/05

Operation: SAFARI STRIKE! has been painstakingly planned to immerse participants in extreme non-stop MIL-SIM action. To assist with the back-story, this event will include role playing actors and actresses who will add to the complete MIL-SIM experience. Special vehicles (including the TAC-MPV), numerous structures and props will also be part of the scenario.




Operation: SAFARI STRIKE! will also incorporate special “field-wide audio” and effects that will add to the drama and realism of the storyline.

Without giving away too many details, rest assured we have reserved some additional “surprises”, that are guaranteed to add to the total Operation: SAFARI STRIKE! experience.

To read more about the event and to register, please visit the Official Operation: SAFARI STRIKE! Website @ www.airsoftcleveland.com/safaristrike.htm

Troops,

There are only about 3 weeks left for registration for Operation: Safari Strike. May 14, 2005 is the deadline, please register & pay before that date. Sponsors have come through in a BIG way for this event and the raffle is not to be missed. Don't miss out, register now.

We have also updated the Official Operation:SAFARI STRIKE! Website with event ammo/mag limits.

Info is as follows:

AMMO/MAGAZINE LIMITS –



ALL players may choose (1) of the following
options:

680 round MAX limit in ANY configuration
of standard magazines. (30,68,80 rounds each)

680 round MAX limit in ANY configuration
of mid-cap magazines. (i.e. G&P 100,110,130,150 rounds
each)

Standard + mid-cap assortment = ANY
configuration not to exceed a
680 round MAX limit.

(1) – High-Capacity magazine. If you choose
your load out to include a hi-cap magazine, you are
only permitted to carry ONE. Your load out is
then not to exceed a maximum of 600 rounds.
Example, you use a MP5 hi-cap (200 rounds), you then
can make up the difference in ANY combination of
standards or mid-caps. If you own an AK and choose to
use a hi-cap, you are already at the 600 round limit
with just ONE hi-cap.

In addition, ALL players may carry on
additional loose ammo and loading tools in the field.
Loading tools may be manual or battery powered.

Note: Hi-caps must be manual winding ONLY. Drums,
W-MAGS, and AUTO WINDERS will NOT be permitted.



Although we do recognize that many players may have a
sufficient load out of standard magazines, MANY
players still do not. These rules are in place so as
not to restrict high-cap only players from taking part
in this event. However, with the transition to a more
MIL-SIM style of play, future events may be more
restrictive on the use of hi-capacity magazines.

Squad Automatics (which include the following; M60
variants, M249 variants, RPK) will carry a maximum
capacity of 1200 rounds. M249 auto winding ammo
boxes are permitted for use.

ALL players may carry an unlimited amount of
pistol magazines.

ALL players equipped with an M203, or other
style grenade launcher may carry an unlimited amount
of bb grenade shells.

Stay tuned to the Official Operation:SAFARI STRIKE! Website for news, updates, and other event related information.

Thanks to everyone at Airsoft Indiana! We look forward to seeing ALL of you at the event

Guys there are only about 10 days left for
registration, so get registered and get paid! Right
now, including Team TAC, we've got 96 players signed
up. Missions info, team forums, and other details
will be released following the registration dead line.
Food will also be sold at Pinnacle Woods club house.

There are also a couple of other announcements too.

Team TAC cannot stress the following enough. Safari
Strike will be held at a commercial field. Due to
that fact, players must sign the Pinnacle Woods
Waiver. All players are required to sign a waiver and
players under the age of 18 must have the waiver
signed and notarized by their legal guardian or
parent. Not execptions. A link to both waivers will
be provided following the registration deadline.

Here's the information on the waiver.

If you are 18 yrs of age or older, waivers MUST be
completed in advance and ready to turn in at time of
arrival. If you are under the age of 18, you MUST
complete the "Minor" waiver. If you are under 18, your
parent may sign if they are present with you day of
event. If your parent will not be at the event, you
MUST get the waiver NOTARIZED by a NOTARY PUBLIC. This
is a simple process that can be done at most banks or
other establishments who have a notary public on hand.
The notary simply witnesses your parents signature,
then signs and certifies the waiver with his or her
seal. If you are under 18 yrs of age, you will NOT be
permitted to play without either bringing your parent,
or a properly notarized waiver. Remember, ID's will be
verified.
