No sanitation!? Oh no! Whatever will we do?!?!?! Lemme tell you something. SFC Anderson, Admin, and I can tell you about No Sanitation.

No I understand no sanitation I had to leave surprises in two feet of snow that wasn't fun.

haha this is half the fun unless you're flipa and forget your sleeping bag....

The AIRDOG staff visited the field yesterday in preparation for OP: VENOM.
Gunner has done a lot of work since our last visit and the camping areas are cleared out nicely.
There are a lot of new trails, structures and battle areas in the field.
It will be worth the drive and the first of many AIRDOG scenario games hosted at the Battlezone field.

We will allow some campers, but not in the Guerilla Forces (GF)camping area as space is limited.
It's also a narrow road through the field to get to the GF camping area, so campers / trailers in the GF camping area will be a "no go".
There is limited space in the Delta Force (DF) camping area that could facilitate a couple of campers / trailers.
With that being said, we need to keep enough space open for primitive camping, canopies, cars, etc...
Please contact me if you are planning to bring a camper / trailer.

Just to clarify, there will be facilities there.
Gunner has about 3 Port-a-potties that will be trucked in for the event.
I would bring some TP just in case...would hate for anyone to be in the middle of taking care of business and not have the appropriate paperwork available.

Below are some pics of the field, which is HUGE and will be a challenge to navigate until you get your bearings.
The official gridded field map will be produced this week.

On with the pics.....

Part of the Guerilla Forces camping area


Road leading to the guard post near the GF HQ.
This is a battle area in itself!


GF HQ


Overlook Outpost (overlooks GF HQ) Great observation / staging area for GF base attack!
Note what looks like a hill in the background is actually another peak, as this point overlooks a valley area.


Area between the graveyard and Overlook Outpost.
Again, note the hill in the background as this is one of the highest points of the field.


Base 3, Base 4 (urban area).

wow that really does sort of show the scale of this field. this will be so fun!

Yep!
The field is huge and diverse with regards to the terrain.

Although traversing the field is easy by using the main roads, I would stay off the main roads.
This is definitely an ambush haven with lots of nice cover.
Some areas are very thick with a maze of trails cut through them.

Is the GF camp area accessible by veh? ie. are we going to be able to park here? I have not seen the main map yet.

As for sanitation.....were surrounded by it . I used to have my guys hang a VS-17 panel for day use and a chem light for night use.

I need to get that map printed and water-proofed. I will be running more these next 2 wks in preperation.

Yes sir. GF base is accessible by car.
GF base is located in the lower right hand corner of the field.
I will post up the official gridded map this week.

I'm so juiced on on vacation in Florida and I can't wait to get back I think in going to be on green team

Has the scenario been sent out and is the gorilla base near the creek

Hey I have a bazooka can I use it

I would post picture but my phone wont let me but its on my website and YouTube page

Will there be vehicles there

The storyline is posted in the first thread.
Guerilla Forces HQ is near the river.
Yes. You can use a bazooka / launcher type weapon that will be effective on vehicles only.
Please let the AIRDOG staff check it out.

Please find below the official gridded map for OP:VENOM (also in the first post of this thread).
It is highly recommended that you print a color copy of this map and bring it to the game.
The map will be a valuable tool in navigating the field and understanding the missions.
Please note there are three areas that are not in play at any time during the event.
These locations are: Delta Forces camping area, Guerilla Forces camping area and the graveyard.
Enjoy!

While everything looks really awesome. Im not sure I ma going to make this one. sorry guys. Its just too far of a drive from my house in Ga, and a good chunk of DU cant attend due to prior military obligations. Lame.

Where you coming from??

3 and a half hours away from the field. Basically my weekend would be like this.

Friday - 7 hour drive home.
Saturday - 3 and a half hour drive
Sunday - 3 and a half hour drive
Monday - 7 hour drive.

Too much driving in one weekend for me. And driving a Durango with the Price of gas is killer.

that makes sense. Get your guys to bring gear and ask the fly boys to do a combat drop for you over the field. Ah the good old days.lol.
