The United Airsoft Alliance from the Philippines is in the final stages of preparing for its North Vs. South 3 event that will be held on the 25th of August 2007 at the Tigerland Colt Center Game Site in Lagro, Quezon City, Philippines.  This site is an undeveloped housing subdivision area, boasting 4 hectares of game area, with developed obstacles, grassy knolls, bunkers, marshall and sniper's towers, and mixed urban/jungle areas.  Parking area is very spacious and can accommodate approximately 1,000 cars.

The Scenarios are based on ACTUAL EVENTS.

KOLWEZI, ZAIRE, 1977: OPERATION LEOPARD. Katanganese rebels from the southern portion of the country have rebelled. Calling themselves the "Katanga Tigers", they seize the main town of Kolwezi and proclaim independence from Zaire, formerly the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Belgian Congo in the '60's. Being held by the Katanganese Tigers are a number of European hostages mostly French Christian missionaries.

France launches OPERATION LEOPARD to attack Kolwezi and bring back the hostages alive. The 2REP (airborne) of the French Foreign Legion is sent in to parachute near Kolwezi, enter the town, rescue the hostages, and repatriate them back to Europe. A main force is to follow and assist in the evacuation. However, just prior to the para drop, the hostages have been separated by the rebels.

THE MISSION: a company of your army will para drop and insert into the battlefield prior to the main force, for reconnaissance, to locate the 50 hostages who are scattered throughout the battlefield. Thereafter, the main force will enter and assist in the evacuation of the hostages. But between the paras and the main force are the enemy forces which have been able to form a blocking force to prevent the hostages from escaping. Armored technicals full of drug-crazed rebels also prowl the roads with machine guns and heavy mounted ordnance. Your paras must therefore link up with the main force and bring the hostages back alive.

SIERRA LEONE, 2000 OPERATION BARRAS. The British peacekeeping mission has been beset by a crisis. 20 comrades from the Royal Irish Guards have been seized by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF). Ruthless and drug-crazed rebels known as West Side boys or West Side Niggas operating in the northern part of the country, have taken the hostages to their stronghold in the towns of Geri Bana and Magbeni. The hostages are tied together and cannot be separated.

A joint force of the British Parachute Regiment and SAS has been tasked for the rescue. However, upon entry by heli-borne assault, the rescue force has been split into 3. Only 1/3 of the force has been dropped at the correct site, the others have been scattered over deep in enemy territory.

THE MISSION: The hostages cannot be separated. However five among the group have disappeared. Your job is to locate and bring back every man alive. Compounding your problem are the main forces of the enemy which are also similarly, and confusingly, scattered over the battlefield. You must use your maps to link up with your troops, or bring the hostages back alone through enemy territory.

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:

The UAA Code of Ethics will apply to all games.

1. FPS Limit- Strictly 450 at .20.Each side will have its respective CAMP. Both scenarios will be 2 hours each, with a lunch break of 1 hour between.
2. All ROADS are SAFE AREAS. You may cross the roads, but you may not travel along the roads (you may travel along the road gutter). You must travel through the jungle. This is Africa.
3. The roads will be patrolled by armed technicals with drunken rebels with heavy machine guns. The rebels may shoot at you, and kill you, but you may not engage the rebels. If you encounter the rebels you must either hide or run away.
4. A Headcount of hostages rescued by either side will be taken at the respective camps of both sides at the end of each game.
   

PROCEDURE WHEN HIT:

STEP 1: Raise your weapon
STEP 2: Exit the jungle and go to the nearest road
STEP 3: Walk back to your camp with weapon raised and your mask on
STEP 4: Re-spawn at your camp after 15 minutes.

WARNING TO ALL PLAYERS:

The site is deceptively flat. However, the terrain is quite harsh consisting of long elephant grass ("talahib"). We have endeavored to cut trails. But be advised that it is an extremely hot site with little air inside the jungle. So all players are strongly cautioned to:

1. PACE YOURSELF - Those who are not especially fit, are strongly advised to TAKE IT EASY and don't go all out to fast. Player fatigue was a deciding factor in North vs. South 1.
2. HYDRATE- All players should bring at least a bottle of water or hydration device into the battlefield. These are 2 hour long events. North vs. South is famous for being "death marches".
3. CONSERVE AMMO- Due to the large number of enemy forces, and long playing time, everyone is advised to CONSERVE BB'S AND BATTERIES. In previous North vs. South games, 1 deciding factor was ammo.

NORTH VS. SOUTH IS THE PREMIER AND ORIGINAL EVENT WHICH DEFINED THE "MEGA GAME" FOR AIRSOFT. IF YOU WANT TO ENGAGE IN A RARE BATTALION SIZED ENCOUNTER WITH TEAMS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE.
