17jan03, Friday Night
1700hrs
The Operation Delta Thunder 2 participants collected at the boat docks from
1730-1930 hrs. Due to traffic problems on the main route of march, the transport
vessels continued operation 2hrs past the op plan, allowing all participants to
be accounted for. Following a hearty meal of roast chicken, barbequed
rabbit and steaks, the participants gathered in the Team House for the briefing.
Capt Denebeim welcomed those gathered and outlined the general rules for the
operation. SSgt. Ramsell assisted by SSgt. Fisher conducted the Briefing
on the morning exercise, slated for an 0830 start.
 Mission Briefing:
The morning scenario would center
around recon operations to locate and recover Intel information from a series
of targets relayed by OPCom with grid coordinates only. An Intelligence Officer
would have to observe coded information on the target, de-code the message, then
relay it to his commander, in turn receiving a coded reply verifying he was "on
target." These coded objective names would be employed in the afternoon
exercise. The team that could be more successful in the recon portion of
the exercise would have a distinct advantage in the second phase. The
Intel officer would then take an orange marker flag from the target signifying
they had completed that portion of their mission.
Death Rule: 5
minute die in place. Each operator is required to lie in the place of their death for 5
minutes. Once they have done this they will safely exit the battlefield and
return to their re-entry point (PBR), wherever that may be located.
 After the briefing, gear was checked. Some adjourned to the
bar for a nerve calming draft. Operators found billet accommodations in the Team
House and by 0130hrs all was secured.

BRIEFING : Operation: Delta Thunder
II
-----------------------------------
Operation Executed 17-19 January
2003
That's right! After a year off, the most
famous Airsoft operation of all times is back and better than ever!
You've heard all about the original Operation: Delta
Thunder, put on by the Cimmerians in January 2001, and probably kick yourself if
you missed it
the first time. Don't let this opportunity pass you by
again!
Reserve your slot right now!
Operation: Delta Thunder II will be held on 17-19 January
2003 at the same secret private luxury resort island as the original Operation:
Delta Thunder, located in the delta near Stockton, CA. This time, there
will be multiple armored power watercraft for each team, breathtaking
special effects, and of course, intense D-Day-style beach insertions of troops under heavy
fire in the authentic restored WWII LCM landing craft! The entire island
is under siege! We have doubled the number of operational water
craft to 6 boats, 2 skiffs and a light landing craft
that will be at the disposal of each tactical commanders at all times!
We are "feet wet"!
The ticket price includes parking, water transportation
to and from the island, luxurious lodging and facilities in the restored
lighthouse or the authentic military barracks, and 2 days of intense Airsoft
combat action. Everyone will join in huge Cimmerian pot luck meals in the
outdoor mess hall with its large barbecue pits, grills,
sinks and refrigeration, and after the evening meals troops
will enjoy gigantic bonfires, outdoor movie screenings, and Cimmerian-style
brotherhood and
relaxation.
All troops will be asked to wear Woodland camo, and arm
bands will be provided for team identification. As always the
watch-word at Cimmerian operations for gear is "legitimate military equipment". Flotation equipment
may be required on some ops for safety.
RULES: We will be using Cimmerians MilSim airsoft rules. See this site for
details.
AMMO: Only Excel FULL bio-degradable BBs will be allowed (1,700 rnds per
bag), not the "New" (3,700 or 2,200 rnds per bag type). BBs will be sold at the AO
for $15 per bag. Procedes from this sale will to help offset the cost of
this event. For those of you who currently have your own personal supply
of FULL bio-degradable BBs. You are welcome to use them.
COST: The ticket price is $220 per operator, and
registration will be strictly limited to the first 50 troops who register.
And as an added bonus, your ticket purchase may be fully
tax-deductible (depending on how you file your taxes) because the Cimmerians is now a
501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization!

II. To reserve your spot, send your information:
