​

​​​Who Can Play: The minimum age to play is 16 years old. All players under the age of 18 MUST have a waiver signed and a copy of a driver's license by a parent or legal guardian signed as well!

Safety: (OWM) considers safety its #1 priority. Airsoft & Milsim is designed for the mature and level-headed player. Common sense and the right, fair-play, honest attitude are a must at our events.

​​

(OWM) requires everyone to have a barrel cover over the tip of their gun when not on the playing field, as well as magazine out and safety on! All pistols must be holstered.

All players are required to attend the safety briefing prior to the start of the game. A wristband will be issued once briefing is over and we will be checking them before game start. Anyone who does not have a wristband will have to wait until after game starts to go over the rules.

(OWM) approved face Protection must remain on at all times while on the field or chronograph areas. Do not remove face protection under any circumstance.

​​

Fully sealed approved goggle systems must be used including approved full seal Airsoft goggles that meet or exceed ASTM standards. (ANSI Z87.1 and/or ASTM F- 1776-99a rated (or greater) ballistic eye protection will be accepted.)

​​

There will be a Mandatory Ejection of any players lifting or removing goggles while in "goggle on" areas (Playing Field, Chronograph Area, Target Area) after being personally warned once. This includes any action in which a player touches his/her Eye Protection in such a way that the seal of the goggles is broken. NO MESH GOGGLES!

 

Cease Fire: Players or staff should call “cease fire” if you or another player is injured or loses their eye protection and requires immediate Admin/Medical attention. You will need to both vocally and via Comms (if possible) make the “cease fire” call with approximate location and details of the incident

​

Mandatory Equipment: Gun, Face Protection/Goggles, red dead rag, red dead light and camouflage to match team colors.

​

Recommended Equipment: Helmet, boots, knee pads, gloves. Lower face mesh is recommended, but not mandatory.

​

YOU MAY NOT WEAR RED, OR FLUORESCENT CLOTHING OR GEAR. Red represents dead on the kill rag and Fluorescent represents ref or staff. This would confuse players.

​

• No Verbal abuse, name-calling, profanity, etc. will be tolerated.

• No Stealing, vandalizing, or fighting. (you will be turned over to the police)

• No Drugs or Alcohol.

• No Barricading doors or windows

• No Riot shields

​

Lasers will be allowed but shining them in the face of another player or at any vehicles used in our games will result in an automatic ejection from the game.

​

Dead Rag/ Dead Lights: (OWM) requires every player to have a red "dead rag" and a red "dead light" on their person while playing. The red dead rag is to be placed on top of your head or held up high when you are hit to symbolize you are out during the day and the red dead light is to be used during the night. Any other color deadlight is prohibited. Game staff will be using a color other than red.

​

You are required to bring your own red dead rag and red dead light.

​

Mags: At (OWM) Mil-sim games you may only use mid cap or real cap mags. NO HIGH CAPS, FLASH MAGS, OR DRUM/BOX MAGS ALLOWED. Exception being support weapons.

​

Hit Rule

• If you are hit anywhere on your person or gear you are out.

• Friendly fire counts.

• All Hits count except for ricochets and gun hits.( when hit in the gun call “gun hit” so your enemy knows they were close. This prevents arguments of players not calling their hits.

​

MILSIM is a game of honor. CALL YOUR OWN HITS. Do not call opposing team players out. If you believe another player is not calling their hits, please inform game staff and they will look into it. Players caught cheating by not calling their hits will get one warning and after that they will be ejected from the game.

​​

After you are hit yell "HIT" or "OUT" and pull out your red dead rag or if it is night turn on your red dead light and make sure it is visible.

A wounded player must remain where hit and another player must simulate dragging the wounded player to a safe area.

​

Dead Man Tell No Tales. Which means that if you are shot, you may not communicate with any player in play, that includes on the radio. The only thing you are allowed to do is call for a "MEDIC".

​​

MEDIC RULE

• At (OWM) Mil-sim games, the "medic" must wrap a medic strap on the arm or leg of the wounded player in order to revive them.

• ONLY medics are allowed to heal other Medic players.

• A medic must wear a patch or armband to represent they are a medic.(we do not provide a medic patch, so make sure you have one)

• One Medic strap will be issued at registration to each player. It is your responsibility to keep it safe. We will not give out extra.

• 2 medics per squad of more than 4 players. Under 4 players 1 medic per squad.

• The role of medic can be transferred from one player to another, but only at your team's command post.

• When your squad is completely out of medic bands and lives you must withdraw to your Command.​

• Sniper teams of 2 players can medic each other but are not allowed to medic players from other squads.

​

Bleed out rule- NO MORE BLEED OUTS! We have decided to eliminate this rule to help keep squads together and teams from using main point Landmarks as hospitals.

​

​

SQUAD RULE

You may not return to your CP without your squad. This is a squad based game, therefore your squad must stay together. If we see you walking the field without your squad we will make you go back to your command and wait for them. Each squad will need to designate a squad leader to communicate with your Team Command. Squad leaders must report to command via radio. In the past (OWM) has provided team radios, however we have decided to discontinue this.

IT IS A MANDATORY WITHDRAWAL for your entire squad if you are out of ammunition, medic bands or water. It is the squad leader's responsibility to make the call and inform command. It's up to your squad if you want to incorporate fire team leaders.

 

SQUAD TYPES

Apocalypse will have 4 types of squads per team.

​

•  A sniper squad is made up of 2 players; a sniper and a spotter
