The Desert Hawks and AEX are proud to present:

Outskirts Of Grozny 3

STORY
Now that winter has set in, Russian forces have become restless inside their defensive posts near the city of Grozny. Luckily recent interrogations of a Chechen Rebel defector have provided the Russians with a chance to strike the rebels where it will hurt the most, their beliefs. The Mufti Mullah Raza Khan Sasid of Grozny has long been a spiritual interpreter of Islamic law for many of the Chechen Rebels fighting against the oppressive Russians. He is heavily guarded day and night by the militia and moved frequently between safe houses and other remote locations as to insure his security. The Chechen Rebel defector has given the location of one such safe haven to the Russians.

Eager to capture such a prominent religious figure the Russians immediately sent out Chechnya allies the Vostok to scout the location and await Mullah Sasid's arrival. A full battalion of Russian Army and VDV sit at the ready in a nearby Russian base awaiting Sasid's arrival so that they might surround and capture him. The Russians are unaware of the fact that the Chechen Rebels have increased protection around all leaders in their militia due to increased fears of intelligence leaks. Both sides face a much harder fight then they realize.

To make things run smoother:

As soon as you arrive, bring all your mags, unopened bio bbs, and gun to the chrono station. Have your mags bottom up (chrono jocky needs to see that your mags have no wheels), show him your unopened bag, then give him your empty mag and chrono. This whole process should only take a minute or two.

-Anyone who uses a highcap in a regular gun will be told to go home.
-If you BS and miss chrono time, sucks for you, you will not be allowed to play until staff has time to check straggelers into the event.  It's your responsibility to make sure you get everything required before the briefing.  If you are caught without a ziptie on your gun, you will be told to go home.

Anyone who refuses to go home after breaking a rule will cause an immediate cease fire for the game, and you can go around telling everyone why the game had to stop.

Raffle from AEX will be held after the game. All participants will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win some AEX swag.
