March 16, 2009: Known Mexican drug Cartels have joined forces to battle against the North American union. The Gulf, Sinaloa and the Tijuana have reformed to create the Federation.

August 10, 2009: Targeting the long and painful recession, President Obama said Monday that he and the leaders of Mexico and Canada have agreed to "aggressive, coordinated action" to restore growth across North America.

Washington is debating whether to withhold money to help fight the powerful cartels because of allegations that the Mexican military has been guilty of human rights abuses.
December 17, 2009: Two hundred Mexican Navy marines stormed an upscale apartment complex and killed a reputed drug cartel chief in a two-hour gun battle, one of the biggest victories yet in President Felipe Calderon's drug war.

In response, millions have risen up, and the Revolution has begun.
January 20, 2010: Riots have broken out all over North America. In the former United States Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit and Dallas are among the worst. In former Mexico Juarez, Guadalajara and Tijuana are amongst the worst. The North American Army has been called in to restore order.

February 21, 2010: North American Union leader Barack Obama has declared a “State of Emergency.” All territories within the NAU are being attempted to be controlled. Military forces are struggling to contain the Cartel(s) within the Mexican territories as well as the American Extremists (T.E.A.M.). The Cartel(s) continue to maintain their threshold within the Mexican territories. NAU military are having difficulties controlling the Cartels to the point where they are calling in the Special Forces.
February 28, 2010: Special Forces arrived in Juarez early this morning in mass. They have captured notorious Cartel leader Vicente "El Vicentillo" Zambada. However, the Cartel has not gone easy in this manner, retaliating to the point where the Special Forces had to withdraw from Juarez. They are now on the former American-Mexican border awaiting further commands.
March 16, 2010: Special Forces have now completely withdrawn from the area due to the amounts of gang recruitment that the Cartel has done. There are approximately 9,200 Cartel and gang members protecting what use to be the American-Mexican border.
March 30, 2010: The Cartel has advanced to Houston and plan on spreading south towards Florida. Taking many lives in the wake and not looking back the Cartel are leaving a bloodbath in their path.
April 14, 2010: With nearly 100 North American Army dead or injured (and nearly twice that on the Cartel’s side) the North American Army has been able to stop the Cartel at the Louisiana/Florida border after a two week war.
April 20, 2010: T.E.A.M. have apparently plotted to strike the NAU base located in Washington D.C. It is said that T.E.A.M. have biological weapons that will destroy the base within minutes. NAU forces have caught wind of their plan and will stop at nothing to eliminate the problem.

Basic Field Rules
1. FULL SEAL GOGGLES ONLY:
While this generally constitutes goggles, shooting glasses-style protection may also be worn as long as it creates a full seal around the eyes. An elastic band or other type of strap for keeping the face protection securely sealed is required at all times. Mesh Goggles, regular shooting glasses, eye/seeing glasses, USGI sun/wind/dust goggles do not meet our requirements. No exceptions. Eye protection must conform to ANSI Z87.1 compliance or better.
2. THE SAFEZONE:
The Safe Zone is exactly that, a safe zone that is not in play on the field.† While in the safe zone the players may remove their goggles, rest, perform any needed repairs or address any other issues at hand, etc.† At no time is firing your airsoft weapon in, at, or out of the safe zone acceptable.† This includes test firing or dry firing your weapon.† If you must do so, you may go to the designated firing line at the field to perform these functions.† Any player caught firing into the safe zone from the field of play will be ejected from the field without refund.
3. ANY PLAYER UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST HAVE FULL FACE PROTECTION:
This includes paintball/airsoft masks only. This rule does not include those players over the age of 18 but it is recommended that ALL players follow a full face protection guideline.
4. ACTING IN AN UNSAFE MANNER:
This includes physical contact, threatening others, using non-approved explosives, combustables, etc.† We do not tolerate an unsafe environment, and we are all adults.† If you are unsure what this rule covers, just remember that anything that may compromise player safety while on our field is unacceptable.
5. ALL "CLASSIC" GAS AIRSOFT GUNS MUST HAVE A TOURNAMENT LOCK:
Due to the ability that classic type airsoft guns can adjust their velocity on the fly, all "classic" airsoft guns (brands like JAC, Asahi, Kokusai, etc) must have a NPPL certified paintball Tournament Lock affixed to their external pressure regulator.† A quick google search on Paintball tournament locks will further clarify this issue.† Also, all "classic" gas airsoft guns are subject to random chronograph checks throughout the day.
During the course of some events, certain pyrotechnics may be used or allowed at the field.† †This covers mostly smoke type pyrotechnics.† Please check with the individual event requirements or game day rules for further details on what type of smoke pyrotechnics will be used/allowed.
