    Mtv was the 'spartan' vest... the new one is the SPC or scalable plate carrier consisting of plate carrier with fastex side buckles, cummerbund, and optional but used side armour pouches... Current Issue in Afganistan as the MTV is universally hated for being bulky, and annoying.


    Paul: yes, Puding me and some others are going Russian forces :)
    (Id go usmc as im a devildogsofter, but its multispam...

    I think the Irish look to be going green, although I reckon there are enough of us that we don't need to stick to one side. It would be epic to have an all-irish platoon, though.

    Rocking flecktarn myself. My fleck actually fits me, shocker, so I just need a vest.

    I've got some OD sets, but no vest...and was planning on buying a big ****off tan vest, just for this.

    So I think I'll just go Tan and **** your trip up on my own ;)


    Nah green might be good for a change, if previous events are anything to go by, Green sides need a serious helping hand ;)

    But ya can get the boat if you think I'm using an AK.

    Apperently they're going to write the cease fire rules in big letters and demonstrate what it means for those who had problems understanding last time.

    Funny.... that same side did the same exact thing at the uprising too... It must be sennybridge air...
    Would be nice if some folk listened to the rules this time around and stopped gloating over the fact they broke that rule and 'kicked everyone out of an EMPTY town.

    I didn't hear a ceasefire called at PR3 until Armenia were back in their base and we had the town. We were pulled back then all right.

    I'm with you on the uprising though. I shoulda known it when I saw the teenagers with taped-together AKs and hicaps.

    Fog of war is a bitch... and commanding airsofters somewhat akin to herding cats... Like I said, I think its the sennybridge air... apartfrom regulation spaced trees, the rain machine, and crosswind generators... I think they fitted confusion devices to the radios able to be used in the area.... confusion devices known as mouth pieces.

    The enemy were the only ones that new anything about a ceasefire at PR3.,;) (infact, its new to me even now)

    If there actually was one, then they didn't even let their own team know, who were fighting us all the way to building 8 (the last hold before their spawn), where we were asked to drop back and allow ya's back in,.,(marshalls with us all the time mind, knew nothin of any hold on the game either. :))

    But thats old news, and this is for the next visit., cant wait, Slovenian DPM irish loadout for me of i go greenies.

    would it be an idea to have a poll to see what team the greater numbers of irish players are going with? make it clearer for others that are coming along.

    Yes, I think so. But it might be better to wait a little while, until the camo settles down. Some people might have to decide their faction based on what gear they have available.

    If that was the incident where the guy ran down the hill and loafed the corner of a building (the building won), the marshals were great about repeating the Cease Fire call, but didn't tell everyone to Stand Fast after that. They were concentrating on dealing with the injury. That's where a lot of the confusion came from afterwards. Players from both sides withdrew for lunch, since they didn't have a lot of info to go on.

    The guy was fine afterwards, he was back on site with a couple of stitches in about 4 hours though they didn't let him play again until the next day.

    Lessons learned, chaps. As you were.

    the problem came from the fact that no rules for a cease fire where in the rules so when it happened people reacted in different ways some stayed put some returned to respawn, this happened on both sides, there where a lot of rumours at the time and no one had a clear idea about what had really happened, so our commanders with no clear imagine choice to pull everyone back to respawn for lunch

    as you say the most important thing is the guy was fine and i was rather impressed by actions of ta events staff and how fast they dealt with the situation

    as i said i have nothing against players that carried on or stayed in position as different people where given different instructions again this happened on both sides

    btw are the dublin guys going to stay untill the end this time? i know you got he earlier ferry back but some of your missed some great play as the clock ticked down on sunday
