Teams
There will be three factions: “locals”, “National Guard”, and the “invaders”.
Hawks:
Hawks are the locals and wear civilian clothes and limited/no tactical gear. Locals are limited to semi-auto only.
Hunting gear and camo is allowed – ie. if you have a Mossy Oak turkey vest, that would be awesome to wear over your Realtree shirt. If you can squeeze into your high school letter jacket, wear that, assuming it’s not a zillion degrees outside.
National Guard:
Obviously dress like you’re in the National Guard. Full auto allowed on M4-style guns. OCP and M81 be a good camo.
Invaders:
In 1984, it was Soviet-backed Cubans. In 2012 is was North Koreans. Maybe this time it’ll be the Australians, or maybe some Canadians. It doesn’t matter. lol
Invaders are a foreign invading army. This *could* include PMCs.
Camo and tactical gear are required (no OCP or M81). Non-American (and ally) guns are allowed full auto. So basically, AKs.
I’ll fix all this in a bit.

The Op
It’s a morning like any other morning.
Objects start appearing in the sky and floating towards earth. As the objects grow closer, they are immediately recognizable as parachutes.
In a scant 15 minutes, life went from a lazy July morning to fighting for our lives; fighting for our independence.
