« Thread Started on Jan 10, 2009, 8:54pm » | |
1. Respawn.
After an operator is KIA and lays dead for 30 min, does he become active?
Negative, he must lay dead 30 min. then sign in at his element's CCP.
What happens if he is recovered by friendly-forces before 30 min?
Friendlies move dead or wounded to their element's CCP for automatic respawn.
Can he be recovered by enemy-forces?
The dead can not be recovered by the enemy. Enemy can search dead for intel/currency, etc, but not recover them.
The wounded could be captured and turned in for points, but not "recovered."
Is it the responsibility of the KIA operator to maintain the 30 min time?
Affirmative.
Is the "Staging Area" at Grid Q11 have a purpose for this event?
Affirmative.
EPWs are turned over here.
Contractors are hired here.
2. AO, FOB, and deployment.
Are FOB's predetermined?
Negative.
If so, do element leaders get prior knowledge of FOB locations?
Potential FOBs are outlined in OP: Stronghold
Does each element have an FOB? Or are there only 2 FOB's that will constantly be fought over?
There are no designated FOBs outside of the initial objectives of OP: Stronghold.
Does each evolution begin with a different deployment position? Is this position determined by previous evolution results?
Negative. Affirmative.
Will the initial "jump-off" points prior to the start of Evolution 1 be known by element leaders prior to arrival?
Negative.
Does the FOB/Defensive Area need to be defended? If control is lost, does the element lose a tactical advantage?
Negative. IMHO, it would be an advantage to maintain a defensive area to aid in objective retention.
Can an element change their FOB/Defensive area during an evolution?
Affirmative.
3. Missions.
Are all 3 elements provided the same operations each hour?
Affirmative. Consider that some missions may require equipment gained through achievement of earlier objectives. If your element hasn't possession of that specific equipment, a prerequisite would be to obtain that equipment.
If an operation is completed before the next one begins, what are the elements orders?
Elements are operating autonomously. Element leadership has strategic command and therefore; the authority to decide how victory will best be achieved within the bounds of the rules of engagement.
For Operation: Disconnect, does the term "enemy" mean an opposing element, or an unknown force?
Pass.
Are operations allowed to continue past the designated time frame? ( i.e. Operation: Disconnect )
Initial points are achieved by completing objectives within the outlined timeline. However, that's not to say that objectives do not retain practical value after the initial timeframe has expired. Examples include:
After OP:Stronghold a defensive area could be beneficial.
After OP:Disconnect possession of enemy comms equipment will be beneficial.
After OP:BGM control of the outlined area could be beneficial.
If not, are subsequent operations effected by the failure to accomplish a previous one? (i.e. Operation: Eavesdrop)
Affirmative.
Must all activity cease in attempts to accomplish an objective if the time allotted has passed? ( i.e. @ 1030, Operation: Stronghold is no longer compliable)
Negative. Initial points are achieved by completing objectives within the outlined timeline. However, that's not to say that objectives do not retain practical value after the initial timeframe has expired.
For Operation: Bread Truck, will element leaders get any intel on security for the transport, prior to arrival?
Only that which is developed by the elements themselves.
For Operation: Bread Truck, do IED's/Grenades disable the vehicle?
Affirmative. IEDs within 10 feet of the vehicle, grenades inside the vehicle.
Does the element have to actively attempt to transport fuel drums to their defensive area? Or can they take them elsewhere?
They can be taken anywhere within the active AO.
4. Contractors.
Are all communications between contractors initiated at Grid Q11?
Negative. All official contracts are secured at GRID Q 11.
Can contractors supporting a separate element be swayed in the field to "join the other side" and turn on those who hired them in the first place?
I would imagine that depends on the contractor.
What happens to KIA contractors?
They return to GRID Q 11 with their "specialized" equipment.
Can element medics heal contractors?
They may use designated medical supplies to treat contractors wounds.
5. Other.
Does an element have to designate a single medic?
Each element squad (alpha/bravo) including one or more BHC troops will have the option to designate one individual as the medic for the simulation.
Can an element supply their own concussion/fragmentation grenades (if approved)?
Affirmative, if approved.
Can an element supply their own IED's (if approved)?
Negative. Not this time.
What is the limit, if any, that may register for each element?
Initially, 10 - however, we will expanded elements evenly to 15, 20, etc. if necessary.
Will we know how much currency we will get
Affirmative.
and how much things will cost prior to arrival?
A general pricelist is available here: http://eagevent.proboards26.com/index.cg....read=1206105950
Exact pricing may or may not be negotiable.

1. Is the the staging area a safe zone?
Affirmative.
2. What does a person do if they leave the AO for any reason during an evolution?
Report to the staging area.
3. Is camping a corpse considered an inappropriate tactic?
Negative.
4. What would happen if two operators from different elements met each other in the staging area?
Nothing.
5. As with previous operations, does the staging area have more than 1 entrance from the AO?
Affirmative.
6. Can an element confiscate/use a vehicle in the AO?
Negative.
7. What are the rules for non-BHC members?
Standard Troops: Non-Battle Honor Corps troops are killed by any hit on their person or their equipment.
Will there be any known designation between the two types?
BHC members wear their honor beads. We can have whichever has the smaller number raise their hands before we start if necessary. I know what you're getting at, but if we're working towards more realism, it's got to start with honor. That means calling yourself out when in doubt and giving the benefit of the doubt to the player you hit/thought you hit.
8. If a operator needs to remove his goggles, what does he do?
He goes to the staging area.
Where does he go?
the staging area
How does he re-enter?
He leaves the staging area.

SECURITY CONTRACTORS
What do security contractors come equipped with? (type of gun, ballistic vest, amount of ammunition, grenades, etc.)
Executive Actions Group contractors generally deploy with an M-16 variant weapon. Our contractors are not required to wear body armor, though some do - often this is dependent on the nature of the contract and/or the personal preference of the individual contractor. The average ammunition loadout carried by our contractors is (12) 30rd 5.56 magazines. Our contractors generally carry (1) concussion grenade, which they are at liberty to employ whenever they deem necessary.
Is there a limit to how many can be contracted at one time?
The number of contractors that can be employed at one time is limited only by number of contractors available at any given time.
How many security contractors are available?

Do security contractors have any loyalties toward certain elements? Could they develop them over time?
Our contractors are professionals and will perform the tasks that they have agreed to perform when the contract is established.
Can their services be extended beyond the hour time limit in the field?
Arrangements for contract extensions should be made prior to the expiration of the initial contract.
While under contract, are the security contractors loyalties genuine?
Our contractors are professionals and will perform the tasks that they have agreed to perform when the contract is established.
Does the scope of the contractors have to be known before they accept a contract?
Affirmative.

What is the duration the element may use the services of a driver?
The duration is only limited by the availability of mobility contractors at the time the contract is established and the client's resources.
If the driver is KIA, will the vehicle remain at it's current position? Can a new driver be hired to finish the job?
