which side should I pick?
Well, first of all, you say which side you PREFER?
We will most likely put you on that side, but to control the
numbers and make the game the most fun, we will cap the
numbers on the teams if necessary. (See update below) Aside from that, each side
will have it's advantages and disadvantages, as well as
perks.
Taliban & al Qaeda
 These are the bad guys.
There is a certain appeal to being the bad boys. This side
can wear whatever they want to wear, and shoot whatever type
of marker they want to shoot. If you lose contact with your commander, a good rule of
thumb is harass, delay and stop whatever the Marines are
trying to do. You definitely want to communicate and
work with your commanders as much as possible because the
side that is the most strategic and well coordinated will
probably win.
The Taliban and Pashtun will get to enter the field first and
embed and set up ambushes before the Marines invade their
country. A good Taliban
terrorist will most likely like to ambush, snipe and be
sneaky. While these guys can make deals with both sides, the
alliances may be fragile. Who wants to deal with a
terrorist?
[Producer's Note: We realize there is
nothing "fun" or entertaining about the horrors the Taliban
and al Qaeda have caused, and ARE causing, for the people of
Afghanistan, the U.S. the world, and our own military. We
also recognize that players choosing to play on this side
are not making a political statement, endorsing or
supporting terrorists, but are just picking an opposing side
of a military style scenario game. "Game" being the key word
there. We all play this game in honor of our military forces
who risk their lives everyday in a conflict against real
world terrorists. Please don't misinterpret our desire to
produce this as anything other than an opportunity to
educate, entertain and raise money for a military family in
need.]
The Pashtun Mafia
These are the corrupt drug lords who make millions off of
the production and sale of opium and heroin. The Taliban has
banned production and it has cut into their money by as much
as 90% and the Pashtun drug cartels have banded together and
recruited mercenaries to form their own army. They want the
Taliban and the U.S. out to free them to making money in the
drug trade again. The Pashtun will make deals with both
sides for temporary alliances against a common foe. How long
hose alliances last depends on how profitable it can be for
the mercenary soldiers.

U.S. Marines
If you love a challenge, then the Marines is the best
side for you. They
will need to maintain communication, and operate within
their given guidelines to score their points. You will
should use mil-sim gear such as multi-cam, jungle or
military style camouflage, a tactical vest, and a canteen or
camelback. We
would also suggest a radio. The Marines will make deals with
locals and other sides, but only to accomplish their long
term goal. Get bin Laden and eradicate the al Qaeda presence
in Afghanistan.

They evolved as jacks-of-all-trades, trained
to observe, hunt and kill in any
environment. They are our special forces."

Team caps - Since the Pashtun Mafia is the team most likely to cut deals
with either side, they will probably be most popular for
registration. To start off with, we will cap their
registrations to 80 players until all sides are filled up
equally.
