Prologue: Defining the Game

General Rules of Engagement:

  • Single Hit Elimination: Players are eliminated upon being hit by a paintball.
  • Gun Hits Don't Count: Hits on a player's marker are not considered eliminations.
  • Safety and Fair Play: Players must adhere to safety guidelines and exhibit sportsmanship.

  • Ammunition: Only magazine-fed markers are used, aligning with the game's tactical nature.
  • Role Adherence: Players must stick to their assigned Strategic Combat Roles (SCR) and utilize their specific skills and equipment.

Episode Overview:

  • Episode 1: Team Death Match (TDM): A classic Team Death Match with each team having a medic (ideally the Engineer). The medic has a card for reviving up to three players if they can reach and wipe the hit without being eliminated themselves. The objective is to eliminate the opposing team, with the game continuing until one team is completely eliminated or time expires.
  • Episode 2: Attack and Defend: The winning team from Episode 1 defends a strategic position. The attackers must either eliminate all defenders or lower their flag. The game has a set time limit, with defenders focusing on strategic positioning and coordination, while attackers aim to breach defenses using a mix of force and tactics.
  • Episode 3: Search and Destroy: The winners of Episode 2 defend two target areas against bomb planting. The attacking team must plant a bomb at one of the two targets and ensure it detonates, while the defending team tries to prevent the planting or defuse the bomb. The game has a 30-minute time limit, with unlimited respawns for attackers and none for defenders.

These episodes will test the teams' tactical prowess, teamwork, and adaptability, showcasing the full spectrum of strategic play in mag-fed paintball.
