Conquer 2024 – Official Rules

Welcome to the rules for Conquer 2024 – a force on force event where information in gathered and acted on in the field while an overarching scenario takes place. 2 Factions – making decisions that may result in victory – or loss. Storyline and situation: Recent hostilities in the southern Ontario region have boiled over, forcing elements to retreat to the woods and establish camps away from major metropolitan areas. The remnants of Task Force (TF) Warlock have moved to the area around Minden, Ontario to establish a new camp since the biological infection in the Picton area forced them to shutter their operations and relocate. They have located and have begun construction on a series of camps in the Minden region that houses their forces, their equipment and allows them to conduct training. They recruit steadily from the surrounding area and conduct their indoctrination programs in this same area. Task Force Anvil 22 was formed by the new government out of what is left from their forces. The government has been vocal that they do not support militia style forces being raised and trained in their province. They have secretly been attempting to harvest the biological samples that escaped the infected zones and are trying influence large portions of the population to stand up to elements like TF Warlock.

Solid Colours allows for wearing of olive drab/tan/black solid clothing items Anvil 22 participants are authorized only camo clothing (top and bottom) and are not authorized to wear any civilian/solid colours. Camo clothing does not need to match, but has to be Camo. Helmets/Load bearing equipment are not restricted, any colour/camos can be worn by any faction – other than primarily red/orange or fluorescent colours (not authorized at any time) – see restricted colours below Restricted event colours: YOU MAY NOT WEAR RED, OR FLUORESCENT CLOTHING OR GEAR (defined as: Orange, Green, Yellow, Bright Blue) – these colors are restricted to event staff and photographers. Medic Rules (Both Factions): TQs will be required – we will not be supplying them at this event as several events already provide them. If you require a TQ, please visit an onsite vendor. Each faction will be allowed to have 1 medic per 5 players (1 medic per squad). They may use a TQ to revive fallen players. There is a 60 second revive time per player, the medic must keep 1 hand on the player being revived for 60 seconds and then may apply a milsim TQ. During this time, the medic may use a sidearm to defend himself and his patient – the patient may not use any platform to defend himself during the healing process. Once each faction has located and secured medical equipment drops, they will be able to recover a medical syringe system. Each syringe may have a varied amount of heals on it and a different duration of time it takes to heal a person that is hit. Once the syringe is expired it must be returned to your CP and a BCP staff member will reset them. Once a syringe has expired, milsim TQs can continue to be used as stated above. Only 1 TQ is allowed per player, but multiple TQs can be used on the same person – if others give theirs up. A medic may not use a TQ on themselves (another medic from another squad must attach a TQ and use the 60 second count) but can use a syringe on themselves if they are hit and one is available for them to use. Faction CPs: Each faction will be given time to establish and set up a CP. Each commander will be given the choice of CP locations on Friday night and will provide those details to their players. Players may bring and establish team CPs in this area – they are not to set up camp in these areas however – this is not a designated campsite, it is only a place to keep equipment and keep squads fed, watered and operational. CPs are not safe zones (eye protection on at all times) and can be disrupted by Enemy forces. Attacking (disrupting) a CP: In game CPs are not a safe area and must be protected from enemy forces. If raiding a CP, only in game props/intel can be removed. Commanders will be carrying identifying chips (poker chips) that can be recovered if they are killed – return these to your CP and provide them to your Command for points. Personal property cannot be removed from the CP during the raid, leave other people’s stuff alone. In game props/intel cannot be hidden in personal property and must be in the open inside the CP. Photographs of personnel, maps, intel, etc can be taken inside an enemy CP for intel purposes. A CP under attack cannot be spawned from for 10 minutes. Attacking forces must retreat after 10 minutes and must move 500m in all directions from the CP allowing for forces to re-enter the playing field from the CP. Spawn and Start Locations: During the meeting of Commanders on Friday evening, both factions will be allowed to choose where their squads will spawn on the field at event start. The different spawn points on the field will allow commanders to select a number of squads to start in each location. Each commander will choose these in alternating and secret fashion – they will be provided a map of starting locations and will provide grid coordinates to each squad – the squads are expected to be in this location 5 minutes prior to 1430 on Saturday 8 July 2023. Squads that are not ready and not in position at 1425 will be required to move to their team CP and will start from the CP. During the game, once your squad is eliminated, you will move back to your faction CP or to a Forward deployed spawn location (if one is unlocked). You are expected to remain with your squad as much as possible – lone wolfing is not authorized during this event and if caught lone wolfing you will be asked to return to your CP to join an Ad-Hoc squad. Ad-Hoc Squads: We understand that not all players are able to continue to play for the full 18 hours but some players may want to continue. If it happens that players start finding themselves solo, we ask that they coordinate with their command to form “Ad-Hoc squads” We ask that Ad-Hoc squads be 2 or more players. In game vehicles: Each faction will have the ability to field a vehicle for combat purposes. It can be used as a gun truck and troop transport. Each vehicle will be staffed by 5 people: a driver, co-driver and 3 support personnel. Each vehicle will have the ability to be armed with 2 LMGs and personal weapons for each crew member. If the driver is shot, the vehicle is to stop, the co-driver can take over as driver once the injured driver is removed from the vehicle. if a TQ is available he can also be healed. If a vehicle is hit by an anti-vehicle device (Taggin rounds) then the vehicle is deemed dead and will remain in position for 5 minutes and crew can disembark and work as a ground squad to protect their cargo if they have any. Additional vehicle specific details will be posted in a new section on the website called “vehicle rules”. On Field Props: Props will be identified by faction specific markings that will be on the props – until a specific mission provided by your command requires it, you are not allowed to move, interact or disturb any props in the field. You may advise your command of prop locations and may guard these locations – but you are not to touch the props unless advised you can move it. Timer Stations: As territory control is still important for this event – each faction will be provided with a faction timer – It will be required to be moved every 60 minutes to pre-identified locations (provided to each faction commander during brief). They must be brought to a location – activated and then when the hour is over they are to be frozen and moved to the next location and enabled by the faction – this will be demonstrated to your commanders and during the event brief. If an opposing faction clears any shooters from the area and have access to the timer, they can disable it and switch it to their faction. These points will count for double and will continue to count until the originally assigned faction can rescue their timer – at which time they should disable it and then move it to their next pre-determined location. RECCE Teams: There are 2 recce teams per faction – their primary objective is to find and scan faction specific QR codes – these QR codes drive the storyline for the event. RECCE teams will be allowed to be deployed up to 1 hour prior to the start of the event, but must return to their CPs by 1420 on Saturday 8 July. During their time in the field, they are not to take photos, Scan QR codes or engage each other – they are allowed to take notes, draw sketches, mark maps. They are not permitted to move on field props. Radio frequencies: We ask that all players using BAOFENG style radios to limit them to “low” power in an attempt to prevent bleed over. In the interest of maintaining the spirit of the game, we ask that both teams respect their channels and stay off of opposing faction channels.

All players under the age of 18 MUST have a waiver signed and should be accompanied by someone on the field at all times. Waiver: https://thecompoundevents.ca/waiver Safety: We consider safety the #1 priority. Airsoft is designed for the mature and level-headed player. Common sense and the right, fair-play, honest attitude are a must at our events. We require everyone when not on the playing field to have their magazine out and safety on! All pistols must be holstered. All players are required to attend the safety briefing prior to the start of the game. While we encourage players to wear face protection, it is not required. Face protection will however allow players to enjoy the fast pace and often close-quarters nature of the events without fear of damage to their face and teeth. We require that all players wear ASTM certified eye protection. ANSI Z87.1 and/or ASTM F- 1776-99a rated (or greater) ballistic eye protection will also be accepted. We do recommend full seal eye protection due to the nature of the environment we play in, but this is not an enforced requirement at this time. There will be a Mandatory Ejection of any players lifting or removing eye protection while in “goggle on” areas (Playing Field, Chronograph Area, and Target Area) Cease Fire: Players or staff should call “NO DUFF” if you or another player is injured or loses their eye protection and requires immediate Admin/Medical attention. You will need to both vocally and via Comms (if possible) make the “NO DUFF” call with approximate location and details of the incident – Event staff will investigate and then give the all clear when the NO DUFF has been lifted. Magazines should be removed and players will not be allowed to move around during a NO DUFF unless instructed to do so by Event Staff or if assisting with injured personnel. EVENT AND FIELD STAFF ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE TO CONTACT LOCAL 911 SERVICES. Situations requiring a NO DUFF call must be serious as they result in event stoppage.

No riot shields Class 1 IR Lasers will be allowed, once they have been confirmed with game staff and are marked accordingly. All other lasers are prohibited. Flashlights are to not have a red filter – red lights designate a dead player and as such if a red light is used, it signifies that you are eliminated (RED = DEAD). Deadlights are not required to flash however it is suggested that a flashing red light be used as a deadlight. Regardless of flashing or not, RED light designates an eliminated player. Who’s In Charge: Game Staff and Referees have the final say. No Arguing with Staff. Accepted team colors: These are event dependent – and are all identified prior to the event. At no time should a player intentionally wear colors that are for the opposite team – you will be warned and if caught again will be ejected from the event.
