Rise of the Insurgents IV: Battle for Damascus - Part II: January 19th, 2013

I don't think he's kidding. Bring a aeg along.

Dont have one and to be frank I will be pissed if this is the case since in the rules it states no where that you cannot use polarstar.

To date, all the threads have had it. But ya. No polarstars is a thing.
I dont care so much if you have your lock and chrono with .40 to account for poppet dwell. Seems to be what some Ca guys are doing.

BUT,
Its not my call

Then this needs to be posted on their website and in the official game rules instead of the day before the game....Now I am shit out of luck

EDIT: I talked to them everything is straightened out! Thanks for the quick reply guys!!!

For this game only and until further notice, only this one polarstar will be allowed for use at the game this weekend. Ziggy and one other guests familiar with polarstars will check Rd Maul's polarstar before each mission to ensure the lock is on and adequate for game play. The gun must chrono at 375 fps or less to be admitted on the field for game play. If at any time, Ziggy feels the gun is not safe or the lock easily manipulated, he has the right to remove the gun from game play. We have offered Rd Maul the use of an a rental gun and mags for free if that is the case.

Complete field rules are listed below and just for clarification the rules do state no polarstars are allowed at this time.  Granted you have to do some navigation on the site to find the complete field rules so I understand why he may have been unaware of the restriction.  We are granting this exception for learning purposes to get a better feel of the gun and its pros and cons.  I encourage participants to provide feedback during and after the event as to whether or not the polarstar is detrimental to the game, had little or no impact, created unsafe conditions, etc.  We want our field to be a fun, safe, friendly environment to all players, and if we feel polarstar negatively impact our customers enjoyment of our events, we may have to ban them indefinitely. Please be honest, polite, and objectional on your feedback.

If time allows, there will be a fourth mission for the game plus there will be short bonus mission right before lunch:

Chemical weapons affects civilian population. Locals seen running through the streets, tackling unsuspecting victims, and munching on their brains.  Avoid all contact and shoot anything that drools!

The Sandbox is located about 15 minutes to the south of Wintersburg, AZ or about a one hour drive from downtown Phoenix, AZ. The 40 acre property does not have an "address".

Directions to The Sandbox:
From downtown Phoenix, head west on Interstate 10, take Exit 98 (Wintersburg Rd) south towards the Palo Verde Nuclear Reactor.
Follow Wintersburg Rd south until it ends at Elliot Rd (Along the way to Elliot, Wintersburg Rd changes name to 383rd Ave).
Make a right and head west on Elliot Rd
Follow Elliot Rd to 419th Ave.
From 419th Ave it is about 5 minute drive to The Sandbox on dirt roads. 
3 signs will be posted with “Airsoft” and a directional arrow will guide you to the property on the dirt roads.
Follow the first sign south (left turn) onto 419th Ave for about mile.
Make a left at the second sign onto the El Paso Natural Gas Service Road. Be sure to stay on the road and avoid hitting any natural gas infrastructure. The road is clearly marked with yellow warning signs on both side of the road. Follow this road for about a mile going through the big wash and continue driving until you see the last directional arrow. 
Make a left towards The Sandbox at the final sign.
If you come upon a green cattle gate blocking the road, you drove too far (about half a mile too far). Make a u-turn and you should see The Sandbox on your right.

Weird as to no bitch fests happened as I played the game with a gun well under the limits to prove a point that not all polarstars users are cheaters or out to hurt someone. I had a blast and hope that everyone else did too!

I really would like to thank everyone who came out today and played at The Sandbox for our final Rise of the Insurgents game for awhile.  I got off the phone with Ziggy and overall he said games went well and from his perspective most people played fair and honest.  It's a shame I couldn't make it out there this weekend as I'm working in Portland right now but I will definitely will be there for The End of the World.

Also from what I hear, a lot of people enjoyed using the trenches in the last mission.  Ziggy and I will be talking about incorporating the trenches more often in future events to give the games more variety. If you have any feed back about the game, had a chance to take photos, capture video, or make recommendations for future events, please don't hesitate to post or send me a private message. 

I am also working with several other people right now to come up with ideas and dates for future events run by their team our group. Our intent is to allow others to utilize the venue to host events not necessarily created and hosted by Havoc War Games.  We really want to encourage other people to come up with scenario games and hold them at our location.  If your interested in hosting a game at The Sandbox, send me an email at havocwargames@gmail.com with your ideas.

Finally got the video from the GoPro I wore all day; if somebody can help me embed the video directly in the post, I would appreciate it.  Had a fun time playing with everybody out at the Sandbox!
