Important to Remember: Scenario Games are not competitions. They are plays in which we are all cast members. Have fun with the concept, play hard, play to win, play fair, and most of all, enjoy yourself. These rules will help you play and enjoy the game. Please familiarize yourself with them and have fun.
Rules:
- Tanks must be mechanically sound and approved by game director (functional brakes, safe electrical systems, mechanically sound engine, etc.). Tanks must also look the part - have main gun or machine guns, or both.
- Players and tank owners are deemed solely responsible for their vehicles on and off the field.
- Each tank is to be accompanied by a designated referee.
- All tanks have a 20 foot safe area; any player breaking this safety zone will be eliminated. Accordingly, a tank must stop 20 feet from any stationary player and may never break this barrier line, and, therefore, players cannot use tanks as a means of transportation.
- No "walking tanks" are allowed; otherwise, they would to be considered a non-allowed moveable shield.
- Maximum speed for tanks is that of a walking pace.
- Tanks are never to be used at night.
- The tank's main gun velocity is 220 feet per second or less.
- Paint markers chrono speed is 260 feet per second or less; setting on semi-automatic only.
- The tank's main guns may shoot only nerf rockets (these are to be approved by game director).
- The tank may not transport people or props (violates the "20 foot safe area" regulation).
- Each tank must have a team insignia clearly identifying what side they represent during the game. These flags will act as an elimination indicator when flying upright in play, when down - eliminated.
- Tanks can only be eliminated by impact from a nerf round, satchel charge (landing on or under the vehicle), or paint grenades (will disable a tank's movement for 5 minutes, the tank may still fire).
- If a tank is eliminated, it must leave the field and await reinsertion in the same way an eliminated player would.
- As for all players, approved goggles are mandatory and must be worn when on the playing field.
