def making it to this one.. question for Mr Stone im putting together my kit for this and just anxious to know more.. when we reg do we get player packs emailed asap? i gotta wait till fri..

The OPORD (Player Pack) will be sent out on 23 Oct. However, we will see if we can get the equipment list out earlier. The list is pretty much standard for big ops (ie no hicaps) but each 10 man team will need a GPS. So if you have one, bring it. GPS is very important at Combat Challenge events. We will be using UTM Grids coordinates so start brushing up on how to read them and store them in your GPS.

Meanwhile, here is a video we put together. Enjoy...

There was a reason why this terrain was chosen to host military special operations training.  I believe the units who will be operating in and around the area will find it to be a decent challenge. It will definitely put you to the test and should be a lot of fun!

I suspect most people will just drop out and say F it part of the way through the day, depending on what they are doing.

I disagree, the past combat challenge events I have attended can definitely put you outside your comfort zone but it is not their goal to simply run you into the ground. They will push you a bit but they will also assist you so you can be successful. Again this is a mil-sim event and not your standard airsoft game. I think this sums it up well.

For those who may not know Agoge means abduction in Greek but it also means leading or training. The reason for this is that the Agoge was the taking and training of young men to become Spartans. Like our journey of airsoft into professional mil-sim, it took many years to complete the Agoge. Most men were not even considered Spartan warriors until they were in their thirties. This is why the Spartans warriors were such a success. The purpose of Combat Challenge is you make you and your team a success as well.

[stoneaglewolf]

Well, it looks like the Regiment is coming from California, As well as Aces & Eights from Nevada.

damn finally back and have stupid Marine stuff to do Friday....o yea so speaking of Combat Challange, one of my Doc's knows the guy who started it, I guess they used to airsoft together...small world aint it...so what i'm saying is keep an eye out for a kid named Emerson.

If anyone has any experience doing recon/sniper work, send me a PM. I need a spotter for this op. It means you get to go on cool missions and sneak around. Must have experience and a a full auto weapon as well as be able to run at least a mile flat out.

Awesome, I'm a big fan of the Regiment guys.  I met a bunch of them over the previous iterations of CC and had the pleasure of serving under some of them as CO's in the LC Red Storm game early this year.

I'm still working on getting some more of the Tucson folks interested but the short notice put many of the more serious players in a bind with family plans.  Looks like I have 5 of us enlisted and going from DH going as Spetsnaz.  We will be sure to get payment in this week and start making plans on lodging.  We are looking forward to some more great stuff from the CC guys.

[Major Buttnuts]

Crap!!! looks like RED2 is going to have to sit this one out.  Hope there will be a spring game [-o<.

 Kiley, RED2 has always had fun fighting alongside your team, make us proud.

[Fat_Santa54]

[stoneaglewolf]

Not yet but doing everything I can.

But good news... white and orange smoke is authorized. It needs to be COLD smoke though.

[Fat_Santa54]
