Easy new one:
Three Kings
February 28, 1991
Coalition forces have liberated Kuwait and sent the Iraqi Army back north-west. Amidst the chaos of the fleeing Iraqi soldiers, Saddam’s elite Republican Guards attempt to return stolen Kuwaiti gold bullion back to Baghdad. $66.5 million in gold is strewn across bunkers in the desert, and Saddam Hussein wants it badly.
Two U.S. Special Forces soldiers, Sergeant First Class Troy Barlow and Staff Sergeant Chief Elgin routinely disarm and search surrendering Iraqi soldiers and while subduing a resistant Iraqi officer, discover on him a map hidden in between his buttocks. They decide they should advise their superior Major Archie Gates, who in turn tells them that the map discloses a location where the gold is situated. The three decide to go out and capture the gold for themselves, aided by their Army buddies.
Having over-heard the conversation of the gold, an undercover operative of Simon Gruber’s Volksfrei Liberation Army reports back to his superiors, and that he has found the location of the gold. Simon Gruber leads his men into the desert in hopes to beat the Americans to the bullion cache.
Meanwhile, Captain Saïd of Iraqi Republican Guard hastens his men to re-group and take possession of the Kuwaiti gold and return back to the safety of Baghdad to bring back their prize to their beloved Saddam.
The three groups converge on the outskirts of Kuwait in search for the 50 bars of gold…

Teams:
USA – 5th Special Forces Group / ACU/DCU/Tan
Iraq – 8th Republican Guard Special Forces /Civilian/Mixed uniform
Germany – Volksfrei Liberation Army /Woodlands/MarPat/Green
Game Objectives: • To collect and return gold bars back to individual bases.
• To hold and defend gold bars in individual bases.
• To attack and raid enemy bases and collect gold bars therein.
• To harass the enemy and inhibit their ability to collect gold bars.

Game play: At game start, all teams must go out and find gold bars and return them to their designated bases. Every 30 minutes, referee will count how many bars the team holds in their bases. Although harassing the enemy awards no specific points, it will help to collect gold bars. As teams amass gold bars, enemy teams may elect to raid bases to steal gold for their own. As raids are inevitable, bases must be defended with an appropriate amount of defensive forces. Although bases may be raided, they cannot be "held" or occupied by enemy forces. Raiding players must evacuate an enemy base devoid of gold bars. No Hi-cap mags, Uniform fixed, Safety observed.

Uniforms: Task Force Ranger – ACUs/DCUs

What is Black Hawk Down: Battle of Mogadishu?
BHD: Battle of Mogadishu is a military simulation ,Participants at the event will reenact missions similar to those of the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia in 1993.

What is the Event About?
On Oct. 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger embarks on a mission to capture two leaders of the Habr Gidr Clan in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. The mission was to last only an hour. Instead, these soldiers found themselves in a two day firefight for their lives against thousands of armed Somali militia. While history has shown that there was no winner in Somalia, the battle of Mogadishu stands as one of the greatest feats of arms by any military force ever.

Why Do We Play?
BHD: Battle of Mogadishu as a way of remembering the difficulties of serving in the military. Hence, no hi-cap mags.


BHD: Battle of Mogadishu
Mission 1 - The Assault
Task Force Ranger
Delta Assaulters
Delta will assault and secure the target building (any chosen conex). Assaulters will search for and secure two Tier 1 individuals(2 sandbags).

Ranger Chalks 1 & 2
Rangers will deploy from two helicopters(initial placement on field) from the SE and NE corners of the Target Building. They will set up security on the SW and NW corners of the Target Building to prevent the Somali militia from interfering with the mission.

Once the building and Tier 1 individuals are secured a convoy (my vehicle) will move to the target building to extract the assault force and Ranger Chalks.

Somali Militia
Special roles - Up to six members of the Habr Gidr militia are providing security for the target building. Once they are assaulted by US forces, they must call the factions of the militia to their aid and surrender(When the shoot out starts the rest of the militia will begin assaulting from the hedgerows).



Mission 2 - Black Hawk Down(Starts when Somali militia enters attack on Rangers)
Delta Assaulters
Black Hawk Super 61 has crashed northwest of the target building(Use the jeep near hedgerows). A Rescue Team (sniper and spotter, to simulate MSG Gary Gordon, SFC Randy Shughart)has been inserted near the crash site to provide security until the ground convoy arrives to extract the wounded (3 sandbags)and CSAR.

Ranger Chalks 1 & 2
Rangers are instructed to move by foot to the crash site of Super 61 and provide security until the arrival of the ground convoy.

Somali Militia
Militia members are to attack the US forces from multiple directions and attempt to over take the crash site.

----Lunch Break-----

Mission 3 - Mogadishu Mile
Task Force Ranger
All members of the task force will secure a number of buildings near the crash site of Super 61 awaiting a rescue of multinational forces. Once the wounded(sandbags) are considered ‘stable’(Dave OC-6 determines)the Task Force will extract them to a safe zone. Unfortunately due to poor communication and planning The Rangers and Delta are forced to extract by foot to the safe zone.

Somali Militia
Prevent US military forces from escaping the area.

Only Kill shots force a respawn, somali must return to hedgerows building-US to original target building. Unlimited respawns. During Sniper/spotter mission the sniper/spotter respawn in place after a 30 second wait.

DAMN! And I actually made gold bar and money stack props that would be perfect for this. Unfortunately I gave them all to the field owner in Connecticut.

Real easy to make:

Money Stacks, take some 1"x2" lay out a dollar and scribe a line. I think you get 8 stacks per 6 foot board. Take a dollar goto Wal-Mart to the paint center, have them color match the green and "white" portions of a dollar. The little 1 pint cans are sufficient. Make a couple of rough templates for the green/white portions and paint the blocks. Take some brown duck (yes Duck brand duct tape) rip off 1" strips, wrap the money stack around the middle like a money band. I wrote 10,000 on my stacks. Two 6' boards yielded $160,000 in prop money. At it's weather proof!

For the gold bullion: Use 1"x1" furring strips. Cut them in about 10" lengths. Using a dremmel and a sanding drum tip, soften the edges of the blocks. Again, goto Wal-Mart and buy some metallic gold spray paint. They may not weigh like gold, but damn they do look legit. If ya have the time and inclination, you can use slightly bigger wood stock and glue threaded rods inside of the "bars" to give them some heft.

Oh, and if ya wanna do a drug stash. The fake moss you can buy at the Hobby Lobby that you put in a plant glued to a styrofoam block and wrapped in saran wrap makes a convincing marijuana brick.

Cornstarch in plastic bags makes good coke bundles. Though they're not very resilient. An alternative is to take old tshirts, fold/roll them into bundle sizes and wrap them in duct tape. Soft like a bag of powder yet more resistant to weather and tearing.
