Three years ago, the Manhunt, ended. Sebastian Shaw met his demise at the hands of James Hoefer, an infiltrator. The Younger Brother of the assassinated former District Attorney J.C. Hoefer who attempted to stop Shaw and the Hierarchy in their terrorist coup. J.C, failed where his younger brother did not. The Young James, brilliantly infiltrated Sebastian Shaw’s command network during the turmoil brought on by Shaw’s former second in command Dan Trask. James’ success in removing the renowned terrorist leader only created a power vacuum, and one which Trask easily assumed.

Four years later, The Hierarchy is stronger than ever, and the mantle that Trask has built rules the population with a heavy but fair hand. It is a prosperous era in the region, and the Hierarchy stands in great hope to have its sovereignty recognized.

It is also a fleeting time for the Hierarchy. Two wars overseas have ended, and The United States is bringing home troops rapidly. Many of those troops are being re assigned to The Department of Homeland Security, and The Federal Task Force, which was originally tasked with taking down The Hierarchy. The Task Force was ultimately forced to withdraw from the battle. The FTF’s troops were torn between the promises of a newly formed government without corruption, and the death tolls that surrounded them during encounters with Shaw’s loyal Rail gun Squads. Now, The FTF is being reinforced and its numbers have grown. Battle hardened soldiers from the Iraq and Afghan wars have come home and have readily volunteered to take down this domestic threat. Aided by efforts made by the government to duplicate the Hierarchy’s hand held rail guns, they stand ready to attack the Capital District, and reclaim the Cities of Albany, Schenectady and Troy.

The Hierarchy is ready, Trask and his highly trained rail gun squads stand ready alongside his legions of loyal Hierarchy soldiers to maintain their four year old government in its infancy and defend its unrecognized Sovereignty. The stage sets again, and once again the battles will resume.

The Manhunt is over. The rail gun wars will soon begin!

THE RAIL GUN WARS

Missions for Rail Gun Wars.

Mission One: “Boots on the Ground”

The Federal Task Force, made up of battle hardened veterans from the Iraq and Afghan wars now comprise the bulk of the FTF. Alongside members of the surviving FTF from three years earlier, who have been conducting surveillance raids inside Hierarchy controlled regions, are ready to assault the Capital District, and restore the upper NY region back under the control of the United States Government.

The Federal Task force has set up an invasion with the bulk of the forces ready to retake the Saratoga region first and establish a foothold. To aid in this invasion, The FTF will air drop forces into other cities as strike forces, and to de stabilize the Hierarchy Army.

The FTF has stolen a Hierarchy transport, with rail gun components and limited resources, but they have enough to operate a small three man rail gun squad.

The Hierarchy Army is in control of the region, but while Trask is in command and in control, he is dangerously low on the resources he needs to keep operating his rail gun squads. Trask is being forced to utilize more conventional methods to defend his sovereignty. With Limited resources he will only be able to operate a small rail gun squad of three men.

Rail Gunners will be head hits only.

Mission Objective FTF: Retake the city of Saratoga and set up a forward command base. The City of Saratoga will be represented by one of the ASC flag stations and will be marked as such. The FTF forces will be Blue in color, and re taking the city will be represented by the FTF taking and holding the Saratoga Flag station until the end of the mission. The FTF will also air drop forces into The Cities of Albany, Schenectady, Troy and Rennsalaer. These forces will assault these cities as well.

Cities will be as Follows:

Albany = Stilt Village, Schenectady = POW camp, Rennsalaer = Bunker, Troy = Combat Town, Saratoga = The Fort. The Invasion Beach will represent Clifton Park, and the Free Zone will represent the town of Colonie. The Towns will not have flag stations to represent them but they will remain in play and will be represented in the event.

Mission Objective Hierarchy: Defend these cities and your Independence. Hierarchy flags will be red in color.

Points Breakdown. The City of Saratoga is worth 100 points to either team for each thirty minute interval, in the 1st mission. Other Cities will be worth 25 points at these same intervals. The 1st mission will be 90 minutes with a total of three checks. Points available are; Saratoga 300 points, Albany 75 points, Schenectady 75 points, Renessalaer 75 points, and Troy 75 points (all the other cities total 300) – Total points available for both teams 600.

Re Spawn points for teams are as follows: FTF will be in the Landing Zone, on the top of the hill inside the netting. The Hierarchy will Re Spawn on the logging road above the back of “Gator Country”.

Mission Two : “We need those resources, Soldier!”

No matter what the mission outcome of Mission one, to move the story along, we will establish a foothold for the FTF in the city of Saratoga, and eliminate the Saratoga flag from play, but we will leave the flag post for representation. We will also move the FTF Re Spawn to the Ardennes Forest are of the field.

We will Move the Hierarchy Re Spawn to the Road to Nowhere, and Establish The City of Renessaler as their command base. We will remove the flags but leave the flag post for representation.

The Cities of Albany, Schenectady and Troy will remain in play, and the Flags will be worth 50 points each at the 30 minute intervals.

Mission objective for both teams, find the three components to operate the rail guns. Each team will have color-coded components and can only pick up their own color. The three components to the rail guns are A) the gun itself, B) the Battery Pack, C) the Ammunition. Teams will have to collect their components and assemble their rail gun. TEAMS MAY ONLY COLLECT AND ASSEMBLE THEIR SIDES COLOR CODED RAIL GUN. TEAMS MAY NOT PICK UP, HIDE, BURY, TAMPER OR OTHERWISE HANDLE THE OTHER TEAMS RAIL GUN. The components of the rail gun must be taken back to their command post. Players who are carrying rail gun components and are shot out must drop said prop on the ground. Players of the opposing team may protect, and/or defend that prop but cannot pick it up. The three components of the rail gun are worth 50 points each at the end of the mission. A fully assembled rail gun will earn that team a 25 point bonus.

Total points available Cities are worth 75 points each in the round (totals 225) Rail Gun Components are worth 50 points each (totals 150) – a fully assembled rail gun is worth a 25 point bonus. (totals 400 available for each team)

Each team will have a three man rail gun squad in play for the 2nd mission.

Mission three : “Defend your Honor, Soldier”

Command Bases and Re Spawns are to remain the same for the 3rd mission. It will have a time limit of one hour. Teams that assembled a full Rail Gun in the second mission will gain a second three man rail gun squad – totals 6 rail gunners. We will leave the cities of Albany, Schenectady and Troy in play. We will add the Towns of Clifton Park, Colonie, Guilderland, and Bethlehem into play represented by control points. The Towns will remain in the same locations, but the control points will be added in these locations – Clifton Park = Invasion Beach, Colonie = Free Zone, Guilderland = Main Bridge/Jungle area. Bethlehem = Gator Country.

Points are as follows, Cities are worth 50 points each at the end of the round. Towns are worth 25 points each at the end of the round. Total points available for the 3rd mission 150.

Dinner Break……….

Mission Four : (Night Mission) The Cities of Albany (Stilt Village) and Troy (Combat Town) will be in play – Lighting will be provided. There will be a coin toss to determine which team will occupy which area. There will be three flags of the same color at each flag station. Teams will attempt steal and return the opposing teams flags and restore them to their flag station. Flag stations will be monitored by a referee. Only one flag may be stolen at a time. Once a flag is of the opposing teams color is turned in at the home teams flag station, they may go after the next. The first team to get all three opposing teams flags to their flag station will win the Mission. Mission time limit 1.5 hours. This mission will begin at dusk.

Rail gunners will not be in play for mission 4 (for safety)

Mission Five : “That’s a Wrap” (depending on attendance)

Mission five will be a four hour mission beginning at 10:30am SHARP- (with or without you) It will run steadily until 2:30pm. All cities and towns will go back into play. Cities and towns will be checked at 60 minute intervals. Cities will be checked on the lower half hour and Towns on the top of the hour. Cities will be worth 50 points each at the interval, and towns will be worth 25 points at the interval.

Re Spawns will swap for day 2

Points totals = 5 towns @ 50 points each = 250 points. 250 points @ 4 hours = 1000 points.

4 towns @ 25 points each = 100 points. 100 points @ 4 hours = 400 points.

Mission total 1400 points.
