This is a lot of information, but I have pulled all the information that YOU need to know about this event and how to register.
What's going on NYCAirsoft, Lynx here
So if you haven't heard earlier in the month, the South (and rest of the eastern seaboard) is buzzing with news about Mindgame Productions brand new national level event called OPERATION SOVEREIGN FURY.
Phase I registration begins May 1st at 8am. All details below were pulled from Mac (creator/owner of MGP) from the Mindgame Productions Subforum for Operation Sovereign Fury.
This is a 30 hour Milsim event that is longer, and the AO is bigger than this years cancelled Operation BlackSheep at Fort Drum.
52+ building urban city complex. Includes fabricated interiors in all the buildings and partially destroyed buildings, cars, mock explosions, smoke, NPCs, lighted night warfare, rubble, you name it. This is the kind of game that everyone dreams of.
Personally, I'm not missing this party. And neither should NYCAirsoft
Details below.
RESERVATION FOR SLOTS ARE AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS
$100 DEPOSIT REQUIRED FOR INDIVIDUALS. $125 required after to secure slot.
$400 DEPOSIT REQUIRED FOR 5 MAN SQUADS ($80 per person) $600 required after to secure slot. Further details below.
----------------------------------------------
In the Summer of 2016... War came to America.
For the past several years, Russia conducted one of largest arms build-ups since the Cold War, using new-found wealth from vast Siberian natural gas and mineral reserves. The US economy continued to flounder with high unemployment and reductions in defense spending to maintain government operations and basic social programs. But the United States still possess a strong industrial base, largely in mothballs from the continued recession, and abundant farmland and food production capabilities eyed hungrily by Russia after several disastrous years of crop failure.
The attack came swiftly. A cyber-attack on an unprecedented scale shut down American early-warning systems and nuclear launch capabilities. The US communications infrastructure was corrupted, leaving the nation wide open and unable to coordinate an effective response as Russian troops struck major population centers on the east and west coasts. The American military is fighting back hard but the paralysis of communications nodes and satellites crippled the traditional high-technology advantages of the American warfighter. Clumsily coordinated partisan attacks and sabotage harass the occupying Russian military as it pushes deeper into the heartland. The outcome is anyone's guess as America regroups to counter-attack the Russian invaders.

UNIFORMS
1) Squads are set up with pre-assigned uniforms. (US - Tan-Based, Russian - Green-Based)
2) We want to offer a reasonable number of choices but not have dozens of patterns on the field
3) If you have gotten permission to use a pattern (ATACS AU, CADPAT) sign up in available US/Russian slot
4) If in doubt on a pattern or unit... please ask and not assume
5) Tactical gear colors are not obligatory but complete uniforms are (ie matching top and bottom of uniform)
UNIT BALANCE / CLOSED PLATOONS
1) Each Company is designed to run with three platoons of four squads each
2) On May 1, only two platoons will be "open" for each for the four companies (two US and two Russian companies)
3) This is to help achieve force balance for the event
4) If one force (US or Russians) is filling up quickly, the "closed" third platoons will NOT be opened until the registrations come into a reasonable balance
5) If there are no slots available in your preferred US (tan based) or Russian (green based) force, we advise you to sign up for the other force
6) If you had to sign up for other than your preferred choice, you must contact us to get on a wait list for Third Platoon availability
a) If you are on waitlist to move on Third Platoon Availability, we will confirm with you before 3rd PLTs opened
b) You will be moved prior to public opening of third platoons
7) We will grant as many Third Platoon waitlist requests to move as possible, in order in which they were made
PAYMENT INFORMATION
1) After completing the reservation details, you are presented a link to PayPal
a) Please follow the link at this time and submit your deposit or payment in full
b) Reservations for which no payment has been received will be kicked back and reopened to public in 24 hours
2) The default billing is for the $225 individual price. You may pay $225 OR a $100 deposit
3) If you sign up a five-man team, the system will incorrectly present a $1125 price (5 x $225)
a) Don't panic if you reserved a five-man team. Simply submit payment for $1000 or a $400 deposit
b) Five-man team reservations and payments should come from a single source (ie. not five individuals)
c) Remember the team discount will be offered in five-man blocks. Please plan and coordinate for best pricing!
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1) Follow the payment link when making reservation so we can associate payment with correct registration
2) Remember if deposit or payment is not received within 24 hours the registration will be kicked back!
3) Plan ahead with your team mates! Help is make this as easy as possible!
a) Several friends running together? Go ahead and think about which squad you want to sign up together for
b) Five man team? Have a single person designated to make the team reservation and submit team payment/deposit
c) Larger unit? Get payments, names and emails to a single team registration POC, making sure all are in the same squad or platoon.
d) As slots fill up, it will be harder to find group availability. Use the deposit option to reserve your slots now, even if you need to wait and pay balance several weeks later
4) We WILL work with players as best we can to make adjustments, such as:
a) Buddy signs up on wrong squad and needs to be moved
b) Contacting individual players for possible unit shifts to make space for teams to play together
c) Not all adjustments may be able to be worked out. Plan ahead, register smart and register early!
