6. IN-GAME VEHICLES
6.1 Vehicle Attendance
The use of in-game vehicles is only possible with prior approval of the Crew. Requests pertaining to this matter will be taken into consideration strictly if they are submitted to the e-mail address staff@overload.com.ro and if they contain relevant pictures of the vehicle. Requests are to be submitted until the deadline presented on the event’s website and forum.
This is an airsoft event, so BBs will be fired from and upon the vehicles. Fuel costs and any risks related are totally attributed to the owner.
WARNING! The game area is located outside public roads, thus mandatory or supplementary car insurance is not applicable (damage repairs are not covered). Nevertheless, the civil or penal accountability for one’s actions is still in force.
6.2 Vehicle Destruction
In-game vehicles can be destroyed ONLY by means of the devices provided by te Crew or by abandoning the vehicle (e.g. if all occupants are eliminated). The destruction devices have to be used according to the instructions of the Crew at the game-start briefing.
Destruction of a vehicle also means that all occupants are dead, with no chance of medical treatment – go back to respawn. In order to keep it simple, JUST the occupants, not also the people in its vicinity, even touching it from the outside.
An off-game vehicle (destroyed) has to be marked by two reflective vests, one hanging from each side mirror (in the event of lacking mirrors, there has to be a way to attach them in the respective area). The availability of these vests for each vehicle will be checked by the crew before entering the game. During nighttime, one has to use the hazard lights for offgame vehicles.
To ensure lack of game bottlenecks, any destroyed vehicle must immediately move towards respawn area, regardless if the driver is alive or not.
A destroyed vehicle, that returns in respawn area, must not disturb the vehicles / players in the game. It must keep off the roars, so the vehicles still in game are be able to play.
An operational vehicle can’t transport dead players.
A destroyed vehicle, that moves to respawn area, can transport only dead players (including the driver)
6.3 Type of use
Vehicles can be used in one of two manners:
- Humvee – with fully opened windows – The windows have to be completely open, not just enough to squeeze a barrel. It is strictly forbidden to close the windows as long as the vehicle is in-game.
If a player is hit, he puts on the vest and stands still (he may hide or take cover by cowering inside the vehicle, not by winding up the window).
If the driver is hit with a BB, the car stops. The driver behaves like any other occupant (vest etc., just like above).
The driver can receive medical care or he can be replaced (if he allows for someone else to drive his in-game vehicle).
- APC – all side windows completely closed – NO FIRING FROM THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE, except the machine gun operator on the turret. The vehicle is fully armored, works as an armored personnel carrier. 6mm BBs can’t do a thing, regardless of the amount. The only vulnerable spots are the machine gunner on the vehicle and occupants of open areas of the vehicle (e.g. loading bay).
In any given situation, immediately after exiting the armored part of the vehicle, the doors will be closed shut. Players exiting the vehicle as well as the occupants (except the mounted machine gun operator) are strictly prohibited from engaging opponents while any vehicle doors are still open.
Only cars that have the capacity to transport at least 6 people are accepted as APC.
The type of use has to be chosen upon registration for the entire duration of the event. One can not change the type of use during the event.
6.4 Barricades
Any vehicle can be stopped by a barricade, built either by materials provided by the crew.
If it occurs, the occupants can:
- open the doors to exit, become vulnerable and attempt to remove the barricade by hand,
- just sit in and wait for support,
- fall back.
It is strictly forbidden to break through the barrier by hitting or crushing the barricade with the vehicle.
6.5 Other
Every driver is accountable for the driving. It is strictly forbidden to hit any man-made structures, tents etc. The driving takes place only on roads and paths, with a speed always under 20 km/h. In some areas the terrain features increase the risk of accident. Be careful!
Organizer vehicles will carry the label ” Organizator” and reflective markings. These vehicles are offgame.
Leaving the roads or trails is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, regardless of reason. Players hiding near the roads and trails can be run over.

7.3 Chronograph procedure
1. You set your replica on the game configuration (bb weight, hop-up, etc.)
2. Fix and test the replica in the area marked with “TESTING AREA” banner
3. Go to the chrono-area marked with “CHRONO AREA” banner
4. The chrono devices are set to the preset bb weights. Look for the chrono device that matches the weight of your bb.
5. Shoot at least 10 bb through the chrono. Choose the value (you can choose the minimum, maximum or average value between them). The decision and the responsibility belong entirely to you.
6. Read the “Declaration on your own responsibility” and complete it with the values obtained in chrono and personal data.
7. With the signed declaration go to the check-in stand, marked with a banner “CHECK-IN”
8. You register, submit the “Declaration on your own responsibility” and receive the wristband and the promotional items ordered.
9.You can fill in the “Declaration on your own responsibility” from home and in this case go directly to the chrono stand for rceive the stikers, after that you have to go ti check-in stand.
10. At any moment of the process you can ask the assistance of the organizer’s representatives present in the area.
Measuring the power of the replica in Joule will be done on the game configuration (the weight of the bb to be played, the hop-up set). It is recommended to bring the replica to a level as close as possible to the playing conditions (heating of the hop-up rubber through repeated firing, special settings depending on temperature, humidity and pressure)
The result of the chronograph process is the total responsibility of the player.
All replicas (including pistols) will be subjected to the chronograph process.
The organizer offers a special stand where participants can measure the power of the replicas. The player has the obligation to set the replica on the game configuration and to measure its power alone. You can ask the assistance of a representative of the organizers
7.4 Knife Kill and “Bang” Rule
In order to use the “knife kill”, the player needs to carry a knife replica made of rubber or another non-injuring material (sponge, polyurethane foam etc.) and to hold this knife visibly while performing the action. It is strictly forbidden to use real weapons/knives in the game.
The knife-kill event has to be verbalized by the player using it, for each kill, speaking the words “knife-kill”. If a player is touched by the knife replica of an enemy, this results in “knife kill”, he is considered dead and puts his vest on to go directly to respawn. The victim is not allowed to actually say “Dead/Hit”.
THERE IS NO BANG RULE. You either engage according to MED, or you fall back to gain MED and start engaging. Or you sneak in closer and… knife-kill.
7.5 First Aim, Then Shoot
Firing randomly (blind fire) is not permitted. When shooting, one has to have direct visual contact with the engaged target.
7.6 Destruction by „Explosives”
Buildings and vehicles can be blown up with explosive devices provided by the organizers.
7.7 Bulletproof Armor
Personal bulletproof equipment (plates/helmets etc.) has no in-game effect.
7.8 Mines and Minefields
Only non-pyrotechnical airsoft mines are allowed. Before use, these mines need to be confirmed by the HQ personnel.
Minefields have markings at chest/eye-level, labeled every 10-15m/ Passing through a minefield means instant KIA – go to respawn.We trust your fairness.
7.9 Hit and Respawn
You are considered to be hit if a BB hits any part of the body or the equipment carried. If the replica is hit, it is considered to be destroyed and you can use only the secondary platform. Players must shout HIT, raise hands, put on the death vest/rag/red blinker, sit or lie on the ground and wait for the medic or go to respawn, depending on the case.
While hit, the player must not communicate information about the game, to other players.
Any wounded can be killed with knife kill before being healed by medic.
If your replica is hit you shout “REPLICĂ! / RIFLE!” and switch to your secondary platform.
“The dead” will clear the conflict area ASAP. It is forbidden to remain within the area. During transit to respawn, one has to avoid conflict zones by at least 100m.
It is strictly forbidden to use “dead” players as cover.
“Dead”/Hit players do not communicate game related information to the other players. To reach the respawn point one needs to use the shortest route and avoid conflict zones. It is mandatory to wear the reflective vest or the red blinker.
Respawn points are in the base or in mobile respawn points, as they are announced during the game. After respawn, you will obey the squad/platoon/company/faction commander’s orders for future actions.
Players may respawn at full and half hours (12.00 – 12.30 – 13.00 – 13.30, and so on).
Mobile respawn areas can be blocked by attacking them.
7.10 Ricochet
Ricochets are hits and their effect is the same as stated above.
7.11 Medic
The medic rules are an improvement to the realism of the conflict simulation. Those who consider the following rules too complicated, can go directly to respawn when they are hit.
How the medic rule works:
Player is hit.
Player calls HIT, puts on the reflective death vest / rag / red blinker and sits or lies on the floor
Player calls MEDIC. Player can repeatedly call MEDIC.
The wounded can NOT be transported by a comrade to a safer zone.
The wounded player (wearing a vest) can survive 10 minutes without medical treatment (while waiting for the medic), after expiration of this time limit he goes to respawn if the medic did not treat him.
After the medic arrives:
Upon arrival the medic will ask the hit player for a number between 1 and 30, and this number will represent a specific type of wound (light, heavy or lethal) based on the table given to the medic. The used number is erased with a pen from the list by the doctor and can no longer be used. The same table will offer the “treatment” for the specific case.
The medic can not treat more than one player at a time.
The medic decides upon triage.
If the player chooses a number that has already been taken, the medic will ask for another number.
In order to signal that he has been treated once, each player must have with him a white bandage, otherwise, if the medic has exhausted his own reserve of bandages the player will bleed out. The bandage will be worn in plain sight as to mark a first wound (first hit).
A player can only be treated once; any consequent hit will be considered a lethal one and the player will go straight to respawn.
A medic can not treat himself, this can be done by another medic only.
A medic must have a pen on himself in order to be able to mark down the used diagnostics in the table.
A medic will not show the player the table under any circumstances.
Number of medics
Infantry – 1 medic for 10 combatants
HQ – 1 medic
The medic has to wear the white armband with a red cross provided by the organizer. Wearing any other insignia without the official armband does not qualify the player to be a medic!
The medic will report to the HQ at start-game to receive the diagnosis table. When a table is exhausted, the medic returns to the HQ to turn in the table and get resupplied with a fresh one. Warning: Every table is different.
We trust your fairness!
