Generation Kill: Rules highlights

A few highlights that make this game a little different than your usual scenario. All the normal Command Decisions' safety rules override everything else and there is a detail page of the rules, but here are few highlights of some unique rules...

NOTE: ELIMINATION HITS - different from usual CDWC rules

• Any hit BELOW the knees are NOT fatal.
• Any hit BELOW the elbows are NOT fatal.
• Any hit ON the elbows or knees ARE fatal.
• Anything BELOW the knee down to the toes is NOT fatal and you can still play. Any shot BELOW the elbows and the fingertips is NOT fatal and you an continue to play. This means if you are hit in the torso you are dead If you are hit in the calf, you are not dead, continue to play. A femoral artery is a real spurter and will kill you if not treated immediately. Same for a sucking chest wound.
• All shots but head and neck shots can be healed by a Marine medic within 5 minutes of being hit.
• Gun hits DO NOT count.
• Hits to remote lines DO NOT count.
• Hits to pods, vests, torso attached gear, etc are considered as a torso hit and count. You are dead.
• Hits to air tanks directly on guns are "gun hits" and do not count. Hits to air tanks on vests or on a remote COUNT as torso hits. You are dead.
  
  The reason for this rule change is to keep people on the field, minimize the amount of walking up down those hills to distant DZs, and make the game as much fun as possible.
   
• Lunch Break 1pm-1:45pm. Headcount for Bonuses at Entries at 9:45 & 1:45. Big Missions & Arms Race at 2pm. We suggest that you fill up your air tanks and paintballs first and THEN eat so you are ready to launch promptly at 1:45pm. There will be several BIG points missions due right then.
   
• Killing/wounding unarmed civilians/role players will cost your team points. There will be lots of role players/referees (dual purpose) besides regular referees on the field.
   
• Other players can request to see your game ID on the field as a matter of security, no matter what color tape you have on your mask.
   
• All role players are also referees. Referees have the last word... always.
   
• Registration is first come first serve, BUT Command Decisions and Team:Tango Alpha2, the producers, WILL cap certain the teams to make it as fun and as challenging as possible. The sides may not be fair or even, but war isn't either. We reserve the right to balance teams as necessary (if necessary.).
   
• The Fates of War, bad intel, and just bad luck may throw monkey wrenches at your army. Deal with it. It's part of real war.
   
• Do not move, touch or hide props unless it is part of your mission.
   
• You can take hostile (Citizens) role players captive and commanders. Non-hostile role players may be able to accompany you voluntarily.
  
  
• Shooting a non-hostile role player is -50 points. Shooting a Referee (or Role Player in Ref mode) can cost you 100 points or being ejected from the field.

• All role players are also referees. Referees have the last word, always.
  
  
• Other players can request to see your game ID on the field as a matter of security, no matter what color tape you have on your mask.
  
  
• Do not move, touch or hide props unless it is part of your mission.
  
  
• You can take hostile (Citizen) role players captive & commanders. Non-hostile role players may be able to accompany you voluntarily.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, everything is subject to change at any time in order to make this more fun & challenging. Refs/Role Players always have the final say.
