Conduct

- Enjoy the day, a bad day on the skirmish field beats a good day at work. Remember, milsim, scenario or a good day out, Airsoft is there to be enjoyed by everyone.
- Be truthful on the skirmish field and remember the surrender / bang rule while in close quarters.
- Respect Site Rules and the law of the land and the relevant authorities, including Police, Armed Services and Emergency Services.
- Make your decisions promptly. It is better to act quickly even though your tactics are not the best. Plans do not survive the first point of contact, learn to be flexible in the field and treat everyone with respect, they have the same right to be there as you. If you are shot suck it up, just be faster and better next time.
- What happens on the field stays on the field. Do not hold grudges, the only revenge should be to win the objective as a team and achieve a victory which is beyond reproach.
- Always lead by example, whatever position you are in the team. INITIATIVE, CONTROLLED AGGRESSION, FIELD DISCIPLINE, ENJOYMENT and TEAM WORK are words that mean something, always teach and mentor younger or more inexperience players, teach them the way of the code.
- Replica Firearms must never be displayed in Public. The general public do not need to see that you are an Airsofter, prove your abilities on the Skirmish Field.

Field Craft

- Don’t make yourself an easy target when the enemy is coming. Always turn and face the attack, kneel down, lie down or take cover behind something when returning fire.
- No Blind Firing, only shoot when you can see where your shots are going.
- Set your own standard in fitness, discipline, field craft and tactics.
- Learn from mistakes, strive to improve and get better.
- Always leave the Skirmish Field in the same condition as you found it, be respectful of the environment and property.
- No Overkills, it wastes ammunition, can hurt and is does not show good sportsmanship. Behave in the same manner that you expect others to behave.

- Never purchase on behalf of another Player.
