Stage 1 - D-Day: Storming the Beach:
09:50 Game briefing at D-Day course.
10:00 Game starts.
11:00 Game ends (60 min).
The Allied forces are storming the beaches of Normandy. They have several objectives to achieve during this invasion:
Clear all “barbed wire” in order to advance up the field. Engineers must use explosive “bangalore torpedoes” to clear the wire. Only designated Engineers may carry and use the bangalore torpedoes. Troops may attempt to go around the wire but may not cross any wire without engineers first blowing them up and referees clearing them out of the way. Allied forces get 5 designated engineers.
Destroy all Axis heavy bunkers “widerstandsnester” or resistance nests using satchel charges. There are four of them that must be destroyed. Normal BB’s do not affect the players inside these four structures only. Rocket Launchers do nothing against these specific structures. They can only be eliminated by throwing a satchel charge against the outside by an alive/active Allied player or by a player getting inside the bunker and tipping over the corresponding flag. There will be one Axis flag per bunker.
Finally, the Allied troops must remove the Axis flag at the top of the hill and plant an Allied flag in its position at the top of the hill behind the Axis bunkers. Doing this ends the game immediately. They have 60 minutes to do so.
Allied starting locations and respawns: Allied have three starting locations, 1: far up the hill to the South; 2: center at the boat landing; 3: far to the East. Players may choose to start at either location. They have instant respawn once five players are back at respawn. They will have 4 medics in play. Medics may heal a player by placing a band of tape on one arm. Then heal them a second time by placing a band of tape on the other arm. Once that player has been taped twice, they cannot be healed a third time, and must go back to respawn. They can then remove all medic tape and start fresh.
Axis objective is to hold their positions and keep the Allied troops out. Last the full 60 minutes.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will start within all heavy and light bunkers spread out across the entire Northern shoreline. Axis players within the four designated heavy bunkers are immune to damage from BB’s. (Max 4 players allowed per heavy bunker.) All other Axis players can be eliminated with BB’s, law rockets, and will respawn at their Axis flag at the top of the hill. Axis will also have 2 medics in play. These medics can heal each other, but once healed twice, will respawn as normal players.

Stage 2 - Battle of Aachen: Avoiding Artillery:
11:20 Game briefing in the field.
11:30 Game starts.
12:00 Game ends (30 min).
The Allied forces are pinned down in Ubach and trying to take the city of Aachen. The Axis are held up in Aachen and launching counter-attacks against the Allieds. Both sides are trading artillery strikes and suffering heavy losses. The objective is for Allied troops to get as many of their flags into the city of Aachen while the Axis Faction must get as many of their flags into the city of Ubach.
There will be a designated location with colored ribbon for each faction to get their flags into. An alive/active player can only place one flag at a time into the zone. Once inside, the flag remains until game over.
Each faction will have 7 flags to make attempts with and one flag standing up to designate their respawn. 7 players may carry 7 flags, but only one flag may be carried by each player.
Allied starting locations and respawns: Allied will start in the city of Ubach.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will start in the city of Aachen.
Respawn for both factions will be at least 100 feet away from the corresponding target location of the opposing faction. Five players are needed for each team to respawn.
No medics during this stage. If the player is eliminated, they can choose to drop the flag for their teammates to pick up or carry it back to their starting location. However, once a dead player starts to walk away with a flag, that flag is now dead and must also be brought all the way back before it can be used again.
There will be random air strikes occurring throughout the battle. This will be done by a specially designated referee walking around and calling out airstrikes accordingly.

Stage 3 - Battle of Hurtgen: Suffering Losses:
12:20 Game briefing in the field.
12:30 Game starts.
1:00 Game ends (30 min).
The Allied forces are trying to take the town of Hurtgen (Black Castle) by knocking over the Axis flag and placing their flag in its place. The Axis are dug in and well defended. The Axis Faction is in control of the town of Hurtgen and the surrounding countryside. Allied troops must clear them out and take the town.
Allied starting locations and respawns: Allies will have 3 designated respawn locations along the southern rear border. They can start at any of these locations and must have 3 players back at respawn to come back in the game. Unlimited reinsertions. Allied medics respawn as medics.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will start spread out along the entire center going East and West and cannot start inside the town of Hurtgen. Axis may not push forward at any time, but may retreat. Once hit, then they must respawn inside Hurtgen and are not allowed to leave again. Once inside Hurtgen, they cannot respawn again and can only be healed by a medic. If a medic is shot outside of Hurtgen, they go inside. Once inside and the medic is shot again, they cannot be healed by other medics and they are not able to come back into the game.
Each Faction gets 4 medics. Rocket launchers do nothing against the Black Castle. Axis are trying to survive all 30 minutes.

Stage 4 - Battle of the Bulge: Germany on the Offensive:
1:50 Game briefing in the staging area.
2:00 Game starts.
2:30 Game ends (30 min).
Axis forces are trying to stop Allied use of the Belgian Port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines. The Allied Faction controls the crossroads at Pine 1. The Axis Faction is moving across the countryside at Pine 2. This battle will be widespread and ever changing.
The objective is like a moving “king of the hill” match, with the 1 control point moving around. This control point will move every 5 minutes with a referee inside keeping track of the time. The faction who has an alive/active player within the control point for the most cumulative overall time wins.
The control point will move up to 6 separate locations scattered around the map, and will be found in key strategic locations.
The control point will be designated by high visibility tape and a referee.
Time is only running while a live/active player is inside. Once eliminated, time stops.
Remember your grenades and rocket launchers.
Allied starting locations and respawns: Allieds will start at the Brown base at Pine 1 and will have a 15 second headstart from when game starts to take as much ground as they can. Allied starts inside or touching the building and respawns at 1 of 2 respawn locations; designated flags about 100 feet East and West of the Brown base. They need 3 players to respawn.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will have a 15 second delayed start time at 3 designated flags as respawn locations along the back Northern border of the playing field. They can start at any of these locations and must have 1 active and 2 dead/inactive players back at respawn to come back in the game. These flags can now be carried by the active/alive player and brought to any location on the field. If the flag bearer is shot, he must drop the flag and no player may respawn at that flag until a new active/alive player retrieves/picks it back up.
2 medics for the Allies and 3 medics for the Axis.
Stage 5 - Battle of Remagen: Control the Bridges:
2:50 Game briefing in the field.
3:00 Game starts.
3:30 Game ends (30 min).
Axis and Allied Factions are fighting over control of the bridges in the area. Controlling these bridges are paramount to winning the war. They are the only thing that matters.
These bridges will be designated by “pushpins” located in the center of each bridge. (If you find a bridge with no pushpin, that bridge does not count.)
The objective is to push the pin on each bridge to have it showing your color. Blue sticking out for Allied and Red sticking out for Axis.
These pushpin control points will be calculated every 5 minutes by a referee and are only worth points at the 5 minute intervals. (They can switch back and forth multiple times, but the team controlling them at the 5 minute mark gets the point.)
Once scored, the pushpin control point will be reset to neutral and must be taken again.
Engineers from either team can use “bangalore torpedoes” or satchel charges to destroy bridges by simply having an engineer throw the bangalore torpedo or satchel charge onto the bridge. Regardless of which team destroys the bridge, the pin will immediately be set to neutral and the bridge will be out of play until AFTER the next point call in. No player may use the bridge during that time. Once next point call in occurs, the bridge will be active again.
Allied starting locations and respawns: Allied troops will start near the town in Pine 1 at 1 of 2 respawn locations; designated flags about 100 feet South and West of the town. They need 3 players to respawn.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will start near the downed helicopter at 1 of 2 respawn locations; designated flags about 100 feet East and West of the downed Helicopter. They need 3 players to respawn.
4 medics for both factions.
Stage 6 - Offensive in Italy: Final Battle:
3:50 Game briefing in the field.
4:00 Game starts.
5:00 Game ends (1 hour).
Axis and Allied factions are fighting over control of Italy, the surrounding areas and the town of Argenta. Allied forces are pushing in while the Axis are desperately trying to hold their ground.
Primary objective: Allied troops need to kick over the main Axis flag and plant their flag in its place.
Allieds need to find and remove the 4 other Axis flags from the field.
Allied forces may take over select buildings marked with neon tape and get their flags inside. Once an allied flag gets inside the designated building, and replaces the Axis flag, it will become an Allied respawn point. These points cannot be retaken by the Axis, but respawning can be shut down if the Axis can knock over the Allied flags.
Watch out for possible artillery, air strikes, and paratrooper drops.
Allied starting locations and reinsertions: Allied troops will start near the town in Mayhem at 1 location; designated flag at the center of the town. They have unlimited instant reinsertions in the town throughout the battle. Allied will also have extra flags they can carry with them to be used to create new reinsertion points inside the town of Argenta they are trying to take, and will use the flags to replace the Axis flags. After planting a flag and starting a new reinsertion location, they need 3 players to reinsert at any of these new locations.
Axis starting locations and respawns: Axis will start at 1 of 3 respawn locations; designated flags at: 1- Southeast corner of Junk Yard. 2- Northeast corner of Junk Yard and 3- back Northeast corner of Thunder Alley. They have unlimited instant reinsertions for the first 15 minutes of the battle. After that, they need 5 dead/inactive players in order to respawn as well as may lose respawn locations as follows.
If Allied takes 2 of the control points, Axis lose their respawn location #1.
If Allied takes 4 of the control points, Axis lose their respawn location #2.
3 medics for both factions.
5:20 Final announcements, recognitions, and prizes: Special thanks, announcements, awards, and prizes will be given out after the game ends
