AIRCRAFT
Flights in game can be cancelled completely in the event of bad weather. It is the pilot who decides if he can fly or not.
Aircrafts are out after it is illuminated with blue laser for at least 5sec. The pilot marks shoot down with wing tipping (back and forth) several times. Do not be illuminated during takeoff and landing. Make sure that it is an SSMG in game plane before it is illuminated.

Targets pointed out from the ground to flying airplanes are to be made with a green laser that is directed straight to the sky for detection. The attack direction for the plane is marked with pending movement in that direction the attack is to be carried out from air. Quick pendulum motion means that the attack must be located near the laser spot (within 100m) slow pendulum motion means a greater distance (about 100-300m). If possible the attacked object on the ground should be illuminated.

It is forbidden to with weapons:
- Aim against aeroplanes.
- Shoot against aeroplanes.
- To in one way or another influence the aeroplanes physically.
The pilot is responsible for the aeroplane. If a plane takes any damage it will immediatelly be grounded and can cost thousand's.

SSMG Special Sniper Marker Systems - Rules
Players during an event can be submitted to sniper activity up to 1500m of range and taken out without being hit by a BB. This sniper shot is regulated by SSMG with a pyrotechnical discharge simulated as a shot from a .50 cal rifle. The shooter selects a target and coordinates the assault in cooperation with SSMG. This kind of activity is mostly trusted to player in lever four and five to give them a realistic sniper range. These sniper shots are mostly concerned high value targets, such as vehicles and leaders. Targets/players that are submitted to this .50 cal shot have a respawn time of one hour. So be advised!

Combat Boats
* If the Lanterns (red, green, white) are on the boat is off game.
* You are not allowed to shoot on a boat with BBs.
* Boat-respawn location is always an Island or the mainland.
* Large boat takes out smaller boat automatically within 50m of approach. The size is measured in terms of boat length. Warning Shots in water is equal to a hit from the bigger boat.
* The Captain is always the operator, what is said by the captain counts.
* Do not step on inflatable tubes.
* Always keep a low stance in the boat.
* You may not climb onboard or leave the boat without the captains permission.
* Onboard weapons always secure - no bullet in the chamber. Exceptions to combat readiness, then the barrels always pointing outwards from the boat. The Captain orders combat readiness.

PARACHUTIST
It is forbidden to shoot or aim at parachute jumpers while they are airborne. When they have landed only single shots are allowed. NOTE: No automatic fire against parachutists. Skydivers participating in SSMG games and jumping during an event must follow parachute sport's regulations until the jumper has landed and taken off the parachute. Only thereafter is the person going under the SSMG airsoft regulations.

DIVER
As divers in SSMG game, you must have at least a one star CMAS diving certificate or equal. And you must have completed at least one dive in the past year. Divers are always obliged to be familiar with the latest safety standards related to diving and their certificate. SSMG is working in consultation with the SSDF. Divers may not be physically affected during diving.

During diving is counted as:
1 ... When they are under water.
2 ... Longer than 10m from the beach / water line.
3 ... Or if they are in deeper water (standing) than waist height and higher.
4 ... In shallow waters and the water level is at waist level or lower, but the diver is longer than 10m from the beach / waterline you are permitted to act against divers.

If a diver lifts one arm above his head, it means that he is hit or abort fire. Divers who stands in the water may only be fired upon with single or burst shoots. Auto fire only when the diver is on dry land.

It is forbidden to use ammunition effects against divers in water. Do not forget that the speed of sound is about 1500m / s in water compared with approx. 340m / s in air. Hearing damage can occur at very long distances in water.

ACCF
Uniform: There are no restrictions on camouflage or mixture. However, when you are uniformed in ACCF you must wear a white armband around the left wrist, which indicates that you belongs to ACCF. If the enemy asks to show your left wrist, you are obliged to follow the instructions. The option allowed is that you take out the person who asks, and that way do not have to show your wrist.

Civilian clothing: If wearing civilian clothes always use a white armband worn on the left arm clearly visible. If you are not wearing white armband you are off game. This is especially important because we have other civilians in the area. They must not be mistaken for being in game.

P.O.W. (POWs)
As a prisoner of war, it is important to role play. The more you act, the more believable will the situation be. Use your acting skills to manifest. Immerse yourself into the role of how it really would be to be captured.

* Anyone who takes someone as prisoner must always ask if there are any medical issues with the person. Some might be on critical medication, such as insulin e.g.
* All POW shall be assigned a code word. This key word is for the POW to use if he is experiencing excessive discomfort associated with his captivity. E.g. verbal harassment, bullying or if nature calls, but would otherwise verbally be detained and therefore prevented. Code word is there to avoid misunderstandings. Examples of code words: "Banana". If the code word is plead by the POW, all in game events should discontinue and proceed with a discussion held off game.
* Prisoners unload all own weapons when taken captive and is responsible for his own weapons.

NOT ALLOWED:
- You can not physically detain a person (tie arms, legs), only oral detention permitted.
- Anyone who takes a prisoner of war is also fully responsible for the war prisoner.

- Various forms of interrogation and intelligence gathering is allowed.

War Prisoner statement:
As a POW, I realize and accept that this is a phase in the game context. This means that a prisoner takes on a different role in the game, where your fraction is no longer your main job. As a POW, you should adapt to the situation and play along. You shall not leave the POW role for unreasonable reasons such as that you no longer think it's fun and thereby sabotage for other players who might have gone through a great deal of trouble to get a hold of you. As a POW should take into account the situation with all that it implies, and show a good game will.

CIVIL
Never aim a weapon against a civilian. We live in an international society where people with different ethnic background can have experience from real conflicts. The effect of this can have unforeseen consequences. Try to avoid civilian contact.
Do not forget! If a civilian sees you, chances are that the playing enemy also sees you.

Because of civilian rights, we can not prevent any civilians entering the area despite that we lease the land for the game. Avoid contact with civilians. If you believe civilians can get caught in a fire fight, abort the game for the moment (by screaming “ABORT”) if it is urgent, or if it seems the right thing to do, walk up to them and inform them of the situation. Most people appreciate that information. Always approach civilians with a kind tone. If you face any difficulties contact us or eventually abort gaming in the area.

Fire Fights
It is not allowed to lob / throw plastic at each other aimlessly for a long time. If you have emptied more than two clips from the same battle position, you have been for too long. Then it's time to make a decision and move. NOTE: Not applicable for stationary personnel. Fire Fights are not to last longer than a minute. Advance forward, or a fall back must take place within a minute. The fight must be completed - either through an advance over the enemy or by a fallback to the nearest checkpoint. This is the squad commander's decision. The squad commander runs the fight. A fire fight involving more than a group is commanded by platoon leader together with the squad commanders.

TEAM BUILDING
Each group must have one radio operator (with radio). Each group must have a squad commander and one sec. squad commander.
A composition of two or several groups must one temporary platoon commander be appointed. It is the groups that decide whom that person will be for the moment. Separation of the groups ceases the platoon commander role.
This concerns all involved parties. All teams less than four people are assigned to the section” random teams” in the gameing rules.

RANDOM TEAMS
We leave nobody behind! Random teams exist in order for everyone to participate. Including those who don’t have an entire team to join with. As participant you agree to the forming of random teams. So that other friends that do not have succeeded to arrive with an entire group can participate.

BASE CAMPS
If a base is defeated more than three times, all personnel have to regroup the whole base and fall back to a different location. Where this new location is will the Platoon commander decide? This means that the whole fraction has to move with everything they got. After three regroupings the fraction will cease to exist.

If you defeat and eliminate a whole base you have to report it to the game host.

An empty base camp can still be defeated, eliminated and lost to other fractions.

No base camp is ever to be left unguarded if there are personnel or personal belongings. Fraction properties such as tents, vehicles, personal belongings and resting personnel have to be guarded/protected at all time.

If a heated military tent is used, there has to be a fire guard managing the fire process. A fire guard post scheme should always be made.

A special repair vehicles must be called to the scene and repair the damaged vehicle on location for it to re-enter service. The [repair vehicle] assignment is a rotating schedule equally divided on all vehicles within the fraction. The duty rotates to the next vehicle after three hours. The switch always takes place by an SMS or phone call to the vehicle next in line. A schedule/list with vehicle registration number, mobile number and service hours shall be made at base before game start. The whole fraction is responsible for the set up of this schedule.

Destroyed vehicles can not be driven, must stand still with an open engine hood on the spot where it was taken out and remain there till the repair vehicle has arrived. The time for respawn begins when the repair vehicle is in place.

All repair vehicles must have a flag in the color purple on the roof in addition to their usual fraction flag. This flag symbolizes: "Repairing Vehicles in service".

Stopping a games vehicle:
By placing pine boughs or other green vegetation in both wheel tracks on a dirt road (not asphalt) in an approximately 50x50cm square shape. Use tree buckling not branches and use what you find on the ground, don’t break off anything from a tree. Don’t pack up a bed of vegetation on the road, use only as much green that it clearly shows it is done by a human. This symbolizes "Road mined". In-game vehicles have to stop every time to clear these kind of road mines. The clearance is easily done by someone from the vehicle stepping out and removing the vegetation “mine”. If a vehicle passes this kind of vegetation/mining it is out. Vehicles are allowed to back away from the mined road part without clearing it and drive a different route. If you as a participant see that in game vehicles are abusing this rule, note the vehicle registration number and report it to the game host immediately.

Instead of green vegetation, it is ok to use a colorful Frisbee, or paper plates as a mine.
