News update:


Associated Press: November 2nd, 2011

Moscow, Russia
President Medvedev today railed at the United States calling their military buildup in Columbia a 'provocation for war' and 'further proof that American Imperial ambitions drive their Foreign Policy.' Citing the War in Iraq along with a long list of US military interventions in Central and South America since the early 1900's Russian President Medvedev demanded the international community step up pressure on the United States to prevent an outbreak of hostilities.

Washington DC, USA
Speaking before a joint session of Congress today the President pressed his case for sanctions against Russia and Venezuela as the prospect of hostilities seem greater by the day. Referring to the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary the President stated that any Russian intervention in Venezuela constitutes a violation of the principles of American Foreign Policy and represented a direct threat to the National Security of the United States. This strong language, rarely used in public speeches, displays the tenaciousness that the President has for the presence of Russian Military forces in the Western Hemisphere and from the reaction of the Congress, represents their opinion also.

In other news the Red Cross has moved emergency supplies and personnel to the region in order to assist displaced civilians and casualties in the possibility of hostilities.

(1) US/Nato Forces:
(a) US/Nato military units have been inserted into the AO from other more active locations and as such wear a variety of uniforms.

(c) Venezuelan military units are in civilian clothing to confuse US/Nato forces and act as an insurgency.
(3) Red Cross:
The Red Cross has sent a mission to the area to assist with Medical Testing of civilians as there is a serious concern for the out break of a mutated Flu virus similar to the H1N1 panic in the United States. These are NON-COMBATANTS and will not engage any unit on the field.

(2) Terrain and Elements: The entire woods field of Strategy Plus.
(a) This AO is consisted of cliffs, woods, many rocks, small swamp area, and some minor CQB buildings. Participants are encouraged to wear protective clothing and be wary of red tape which indicates danger ‘no-go’ areas.
(b) The parking lot accommodates many vehicles but car pooling is highly recommended.
(3) Left Unit’s Mission: B Company conducts March monthly training.

Combatants should know that ALL parts of the woods field at Strategy Plus are in play (boundaries marked by yellow caution tape) including newer or unused area from past events.

3. EXECUTION

It is possible the host field, Strategy Plus, will have food for sale on site but this has not been 100% confirmed. The weather is expected to be cool which, during physical activity, offers the highest chance of heat casualties due to participants not hydrating. To this effect the event holder will have water on hand as EXTRA hydration though particpants are encouraged to bring their own food and drink.

I have extended the prepay option till Friday November 6th at 11:59pm.

Anyone that does not pre-pay by this time will have to pay the $55 event day registration cost.

As a reminder, all discounted admissions must provide proof of the discount upon check-in at registration on game day. Failure to do so will result in either removal from the event or require you to pay the difference to equal event day cost.

ie:
1. You signed up for $30 college discount requiring proof of fall 2009 student status

2. You forget the proof (ID, official schedule or unofficial transcript) and show up to the check-in table on event day.

3. You will be denied entry OR charged ON THE SPOT an additional $25 to play.

If it sounds harsh, that's life. You are presenting yourself to us as either a college student for fall 2009 or a ACTIVE duty military member and proof of either of these is very simple.
