!!Operation Copperhead Updates!!

We are working the bugs out of registration but we expect this to make the game start on time and reduce your time standing in line.

As mentioned we have lowered the fee to $40 and will allow you to make a $10 deposit to secure your place and then pay the balance on site. If you haven't paid your deposit yet, make sure you're signed into the site and click here to pay.

MindGame Productions is proud to announce that Operation: Copperhead is being sponsored by
Airsoft Extreme http://www.airsoftextreme.com
Tampa Bay Extreme Hobbies http://www.tbehobbies.com/

Both will be providing raffle prizes for the event. Raise a glass to both for coming out and helping make our event even better and hopefully a few of you will walk away with some very cool prizes.

We have video of some of the locations that will be in play at Operation Copperhead.

This is a good time to mention that we are going to try something interesting for Copperhead. To try to help capture the spirit of the game we are going to host several contests. The winners of the contests will get 50% off on Operation Hammerfall admission.

Contest #1 BEST LOADOUT
We will pick one winner the day of the event who we feel has the best Vietnam-era load out. So grab a steel pot, your prick 25 and show us what a grunt in the 'Nam really looked like.

Contest #2 Best Scene
Time to try your hand at acting. We have several scenes from select movies such as Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. Chose one scene and do your best to recreate it. You can do it as accurately as possible or you can spin it and try to make us laugh with it. Either way give it a shot. Contact Halloween at emilio@mindgame-productions.com for instructions on how to upload your video or you can send us your tapes, DVD's or CDs to:

Deadline is July 15, 2006! Winners will be announced at Operation Copperhead.

Now onto an item of special interest. As a lot of you notice we are trying make the games more realistic by having opposing teams wear differing uniforms. We know its a pain in the ass to have to buy another uniform so we are doing our best to help you out in this process.

Josh of Airsoft and Military Supply in Leesburg has agreed to be of assistance with uniform purchases. He is offering a 15% discount for registered players for our events. You can email him at airsoftms@comcast.net or go to his web site at http://www.tricountyairsoft.com/
So if you need some ODs for Copperhead or something for Hammerfall, he is the man to talk to.

Last but now least we will be bringing you the cool tunes that rocked the Mekong Delta. We will be using actual radio both Combat communications and Armed Forces Radio at Operation Copperhead! These have been provided courtesy of Vietnam Vet and former Armed Forces Radio Broadcaster Chuck Kenny. You can learn more about Chuck and Armed Forces Radio at http://vietnam_war_sounds.tripod.com/

Captured forever on tape and now CD are the sounds of Vietnam. Listen to what the soldiers listened to whether its Armed Forces Radio or tense action filled Combat communications. Chuck Kenny provides a huge selection of Vietnam radio commo. Go on patrol, dive into the bunker's & cockpit's of the men serving in Vietnam. Here truly in their own words what is happening at that moment. Experience Armed Forces Radio from Saigon and other stations throughout Vietnam. Sit back and tune into what the troops listened to from the DJ's to the music. "From tape's, now on Cd's".... Chuck Kenny produces a labor of love and helps keep at unique part of our history alive.

We are proud to be helping sell the CDs at our event!

Operation Copperhead will require the use of Bio BBs. We know that people have a lot of opinions about their use and while we understand the reality is that the site for Operation Hammerfall require us to use Bio's. Again we don't want to cause any financial hardship so with the help of TBE Hobbies, we are offering a very decent order on pre-ordered bags. Excel Biodegradable BB's will be sold onsite for $12/bag ($10/bag preorder) for .20g (1700 rounds/bag) by TBE Hobbies. If you would like to preorder some bags, please click here to be taken to our preorder page.

Pre-registration went very well with over 100 players registering.  If you have registered but have not yet paid your down payment, today is the LAST day to do so.  If not, and you wish to attend the game, you will have to pay the $50 gate fee the day of the game. If you haven’t registered, again, today is the LAST day to do so.  Players wanting to participate without registering before the event will pay $50 at the gate. Anyone showing up the day of the game will be automatically put on BLUE force so bring Blue Force uniforms if you plan to show up the day of the game.

Rental Weapons
MindGame Productions has 10 ICS M15 Carbines for rent for our events.  The all metal ICS M15’s shoot about 320-330 with .20g bb’s and come with a bag of .20 bio bbs, a fully charged 9.6V 1200mah battery, 3 point sling and a 450 round high capacity magazine.  All this for $35 for the ENTIRE event.  If the battery were to die during gameplay, simply return to the registration tent and one of our staff members will give you another one to use.  If you wish to pre-register a rental weapon, visit http://www.mindgame-productions.com/weaponrental.php to reserve yours.

Meet and Greet
If anyone is interested in meeting up the night before the game, we are thinking about a get together at the local hooters. At the meet and greet, you will have a chance to ask questions, fill out any paperwork for the game, pay for your spot (if you’ve pre-registered with the $10 down payment or if you wish to pay the day of the game) and hang out with fellow airsofters.  With doing your paperwork before hand, you will be able to breeze in and out of registration.  For more information and to RSVP contact Paul paul@mindgame-productions.com for more information.


BBs
Wayne’s World Of Paintball has requested the use of Bio BBs so to help people out, we have partnered with T.B.E. Hobbies to bring you bags of bb’s for $12/bag at the game.  T.B.E. Hobbies will be providing both .20g and .25g Excel Biodegradable BB’s.
