• When you get hit, shout Hit loud and clearly and/or act accordingly. Take out your big orange deathrag and place it so others can see it!
• In the dark you should also use a red glowing stick or a red light in addition with your deathrag. It would be smart to also shout “dead player” once in a while so that others know you are offgame. You are not obligated to mark yourself with a red light when wounded.
• Clear ricochets from houses or vehicles do not count as hits
• Hits to the players weapon disable it. Vehicle turret is not affected by bb hits. Fix your gun by visiting the main base or respawn point.
• Hits to any equipment that the player is carrying are counted as normal hits.

• Sneak up to your target, touch his body and say “Knife Kill“.
• A knifed-killed person moans quietly for a moment and then lies dead still for 10 minutes.

• Knock out is a good option to handle a person that you don’t want to eliminate.
• Sneak up behind your target, touch his head and say Knock out.
• The target falls to the ground quietly and stays still for 5 minutes.
• After this, the target wakes up but does not remember anything from the last 5 minutes.

All factions

Civilian special rules

• Respawning happens at a friendly respawn point, a rally point –cache or in the main base in half hour intervals at xx:00 and xx:30 (e.g. 13:00 or 14:30).
• Company and battalion commanders respawn times are double (respawn is possible at the second available time)

Capture points

Resource points

The capture points are marked alphabetically in the Status-system. There are respawn areas in the vicinity of the capture point from where you can respawn.

You can respawn from your faction capture point!

• You can recognize rallypoint from small one man tent or tarp, colored tape around a respawn area and the faction flag on the tent/tarp.
• Rallypoints are exhausted when used. Inside the tent there is a board where you must mark every respawn you make. Respawning happens half hour intervals at xx:00 and xx:30 (e.g. 13:00 or 14:30).
• Rallypoints are respawn points which can be set up anywhere in the game area.
• Faction can obtain more resourceboards by completing missions or stealing them.
• Faction can move their own rallypoints whenever they wish. Inform your superiors about moving the rallypoint so the information reaches faction leaders.
• You can disable an enemy cache by stealing the resource tables. The enemy’s rallypoint cache nevertheless remains part of the game. Stolen boards can be used to operate your own cache.

• You can use so called less leathal weapons in game that do not kill the player. These are provided by the game masters.
  1. Training OC-spray, which deploys water or soap water.
  2. Tasers, which are colored waterpistols.
  3. Batons, which are either made from plastic, foam or soft rubber(suitable for training-use).
• Both taser and oc-spray are used by shooting a short spray at the enemys torso, not the face. Baton is used by touching softly the enemy in the arm or leg.
• Using these methods may be wise for stopping ongoing larp fights with less lethal force.
• When the player is sparayed, tazed or hit with a baton he is unconcious for 5 minutes.
• The player can be taken prisoner after being sprayed, after which have will turn from being unconcious to captive.

• There will be ingame money which is mainly used by civilians but regular players might get their hands on it in certain missions.
• Using other than money provided by the game masters is forbidden and might lead to a ban from the game.

Player can be searched for any ingame items. Before starting the search, the player should be informed about the search. The search must then be carried out while respecting sensitive areas of the body.

If the player does not want to be searched, he/she must say it outloud and hand over all in-game material in his/her possession.

Any ingame material found in the search can be taken away from the player. During the search the player must tell the searcher when they are handling in-game material.

• You are allowed to take prisoners.
• Consent is reguired from the prisoner. If consent is not given or it’s withdrawn the prisoner is required to hand out all ingame material and go to respawn area for respawning.
• If a player is taken as a prisoner, his weapon can be confiscated if he’s fine with it. If the player grabs the weapon back, he can use it. Another option is to wrap colored tape (ex. red) around the barrel to mark the weapon as confiscated.
• If a prisoner escapes/is released, he can use his taped weapon’s after 5 minutes.
• Imprisoned player can only knife kill with a hidden knife not found in strip search. The knife must be a soft replica and suitable for knife kills. You can however still use knock out.
• Prisoners weapons cannot be used by other players.
• A captured player can be “tied up” with a painters tape or cable tie that lacks the locking tongue. The tape / cable tie can be used only with the player’s own permission and the hands must be “tied” to the front. The player must be able to remove the tape/cable tie by himself.
• Main factions can capture and deliver the civilians to a “Brigade-jail” by bringing the civililian to the factions base. By doing this the faction can remove temporarily a game character. The use of the “Brigade-jail” must always be informed to game masters – preferably in advance.

• There might be doors/objectives which are covered with a tarp or a door and a note stating that it is a locked door/objective. These doors/objectives are locked and cannot opened without an ingame key.

Landmines

Anti-tank mines

Minefields made by game masters

• Anything that makes a noise or sets off an noticable effect by some sort of trigger/trap is to be treated as landmine.
• The mine may be triggered for example by a tripwire resulting in a popping sound / beep alarm or just a beep alarm installed under the mine. However, pulling a string over the road and connecting it to a single mine is not a properly made trap.
• If you trigger this kind of landmine, everyone in a 3 meter radius gets wounded.
• Landmines do not affect vehicles or personnel in them.
• Possible waste from the used landmine should be taken away before setting the mine up or after the mine has been set off.
• Laid mines should be removed by the end of the game by player him/herself.

• Engineers are the only ones who can set up and disable AT-mines, open rooms with explosives or fix destroyed in game vehicles.
• There can only be 1 engineer per group and he must wear an engineer -path (sold at check-in) visible at all times. Civilian players can also be engineers.

• The factions may have the ability to use a limited amount of artillery.
• Artillery is ordered through the chain of command. By request, the game masters use pyrotechnics(He-shells), smokes(Smoke-shells) and other means to describe the artillery. Eventual need of ear protection will be indicated in advance by game masters.
• Game masters point out those wounded by the artillery as well as when it begins and ends. Artillery hit on a vehicle counts as one projectile hit. One artillery strike effects in approx 50 m x 50 m area.

• Players are not allowed to bring their own smoke or BB grenades or pyrotechnics.
• The reason for the ban is that the high volume of waste produced by grenades affecting the process of getting game areas.

• There will be ingame and offgame vehicles. You need to be extra careful when near vehicles. Enemy vehicle doors cannot be opened to prevent accidents.
• Players must register their vehicle in advance at the kuulaportti-service. Vehicles are assigned max a three-digit number that indicates the identification numbers of the vehicle. Vehicle category will be determined based on vehicles equipment. Final marking in vehicle will be example 1-1, 2-10, 1-100 etc. At the same time, the category describes how many hits the vehicle can take. The same identification number remains same in all Ehasa ry events, making it easier for us to monitor the use of vehicles. The final decision on the vehicle category will be made on game area in the separate vehicle registration and chronoing process. Information will be available in the players.ehasa.org website.
• Max. speed for vehicles is 20km/h. The game masters will use common sense and caution to avoid accidents when driving, still not driving faster than 60km/h that is restricted by the law. Everyone should pay extraordinary caution when driving.
• In principle, game masters will not transport players during the game, except emergencies, helicopter transports and at the end of the game any drivers back to the parking area.
• Some of the in game vehicles have a blocked field of view and the movement of such vehicles might also be hard or sudden. For this reason it is forbidden to go near a vehicle when its engine is running, unless the vehicle crew instructs you otherwise.
• If you want to shoot from the windows, they must be fully opened and taped to stay in place. This must be done before leaving main base and you cannot do it in field. Windows may be kept a little open for safety reasons. In this case it is not allowed to shoot out of this gap and the passangers can ignore any bb’s coming in through the gap!
• The transportation of personnel on trailers is prohibited.
• If you have a problem, you can leave feedback to the game masters using the form on players.ehasa.org .
• GPS-tracker:
  • Vehicle driver must have either an android-phone with status-application or they must lend an gps-tracker from Ehasa ry. GPS-tracker lease price is 15€. The GPS must be switched on when the vehicle is being used.

Main factions

Civilians

• Military faction vehicles must be colored either green, black, grey, khaki or other common camouflage and they must look like they are suitable for “military use”. Blue, red, bright green, bright silver etc. is not allowed.
• Anti tank players can report hits to vehicles using the PMR 8 (446.09375 MHz) channel. The language on the channel must be English and the behavior on the channel must be objective. Vehicle must first be called to make sure they are on the channel. For example, “Vehicle 223 this is Pekka, can you hear me.” “This is Vehicle 223, go ahead.”, “Vehicle 223, you were hit in the rear.”, “This is Vehicle 223, thanks, will check it out and stop.” The channel is not intended for dispute or other use.
• The use of tarpaulins, sandbags, players’ backpacks or other soft objects as protective walls in the vehicle is prohibited! If the vehicle has structurally fixed tarpaulins that cannot be removed (eg UAZ / ZIL) or a fixed cover cannot be built in front of them, the vehicle crew must take into account all hits to the tarps, even if the palading/similar commercial colored powder projectile grenade does not break.

Destroying, repairing and respawning

Bringing an ingame vehicle to the event

Bicycles

When a vehicle gets hit:

• 1st hit on a class 2 vehicle: Inability to move. The vehicle stops safely as soon as it is hit/informed about the hit. Otherwise, vehicle personnel may operate normally, but the vehicle must be repaired according to the instructions before it can be moved again.
• 1st hit on a class 1 vehicle or the 2nd hit on a class 2 vehicle:
  1. The driver presses the horn once for a long time, turns on the hazard warning lights and the orange roof beacon, and raises the orange flag.
  2. The driver and the gunner will be eliminated. Other staff have 20 seconds to leave the “burning” vehicle or they will be eliminated.

When a vehicle gets destroyed:

• After the vehicle is destroyed, it should stay still at the road for 10 minutes before it can start going back to the main base for respawn. The driver must be seated in the drivers seat so he can move the vehicle in case it blocks an offgame-vehicle.
• The destroyed vehicle can be “pushed”/”towed” by placing a “rope” made of barricade tape at least 5 m long between the vehicle to be towed and the vehicle towing it. After this, the car drivers agree on how the cars will be moved. While towing the vehicles must only move at a walking speed and people must not be in the vicinity of the vehicles. Vehicles can only be towed one at a time per towing car.
• Vehicles can transport eliminated players. Transporting eliminated players must not confuse whether or not the vehicle itself is involved in the game.
• Destroyed vehicle can be repaired by an engineer wearing an engineer-patch. The engineer must touch the hood or front side of the vehicle for 15 minutes. After that the vehicle is repaired and can continue playing. The next hit destroys the vehicle completely and it cannot be repaired anymore.

Other vehicle rules

• Hits to the vehicle’s gun turrets will NOT destroy the gun. Normal hit-rules apply for the gunner and other personnel.
• Vehicle can be hit by Anti-tank mines or by a 40 mm TAG Paladin colored powder grenades/similar commercial colored powder projectile which can be rented from Ehasa ry or purchased in advance. These can be only used by AT-player.
• When the powder grenade hits the front of the vehicle (preferably the drivers side window so it can be noticed) it’ll count as hit.
• Status.ehasa.org or the Ehasa status application shows the duration of vehicle respawn per faction. Duration can be affected through missions. The default duration is 1hr from the vehicle arrival to the faction base.
• There may be civilians working as engineers in the game who may have the ability to make repairs / respawns faster, but they always have a skill card issued by the game masters that states the ability.
• Anti tank players can report hits to vehicles using the PMR 8 (446.09375 MHz) channel. The language on the channel must be English and the behavior on the channel must be objective. Vehicle must first be called to make sure they are on the channel. For example, “Vehicle 223 this is Pekka, can you hear me.” “This is Vehicle 223, go ahead.”, “Vehicle 223, you were hit in the rear.”, “This is Vehicle 223, thanks, will check it out and stop.” The channel is not intended for dispute or other use.

For example!

• Class 1 vehicle:
  Hit 1 -> Repair -> Hit 2 ->
  Mandatory respawn.
• Class 2 vehicle:
  Hit 1 -> Immobility -> Repair-> Hit 2 -> First destruction -> Repair-> Hit 3 -> Mandatory respawn.

Note!
The projectile must break and the powder must visibly mark the hit. If it only bounces from target, it is not counted as hit! (Excluding vehicles with a fixed tarp.)

Note!
The headlights and spotlights must be switched off and parking lights switched on, every time the vehicle is at a standstill and destroyed! Intentionally not complying with this is counted as cheating.

• The factions may have the ability to use a limited number of “helicopter rides” which they can use to transport troops to almost anywhere in the game area.
• In special circumstances, a faction can transport a limited number of vehicles by air, for example, behind enemy lines.
• In addition, the factions may have access to limited waterborne transport which allows them to transfer a certain number of players by water in the area of Lake Iso-Tarus.
• Players are transported by the game masters and the players own vehicles or boats with offgame markings to the drop zone. If the transport vehicles are only the players own vehicles, the vehicles must have a separate “skill card” provided by the game masters, which indicates that it is an offgame transport.
• Players are back ingame, when they disembark the vehicle. The players who have loaned their own vehicles for the helicopter raid must drive back to base and after that they are back in game.
• If a helicopter lands near the enemy main base, the enemy HQ may be informed by game masters with a 5 minute delay.

• You can destroy vehicles by using a 40mm TAG palading color powder grenade/similar commercial colored powder projectile. You can buy these yourself or rent them from game masters in advance. Only an at-soldier can use these grenades.
• Using other than Tag paladin grenades/similar commercial colored powder projectile (for example TAG Reaper, Archangel, Velum, Pecker) is strictly forbidden! Intentional use of other grenades is followed by removal of the player from the game! The Pecker training grenade can only be used at the base for safe training.
• Impact energy of TAG Paladins/similar commercial colored powder projectile can not exceed 40J. Note that the use of shells made by TAG is always permitted.
• There can be only one at-soldier for each group (group size min. 4 players) and he/she must wear an at-soldier patch or armband.
• A Paladin/similar commercial colored powder projectile must not be fired from a vehicle unless the launcher is attached to the vehicle structures/gun. In this case, the group using the vehicle must not have another projectile launcher in the same group. If there is a anti-tank player exiting in the vehicle, he may not shoot the palading until both of his/her feet have touched the ground and the person has firmly exited the vehicle.
• The anti-tank patch must be at least 5x5cm and include an anti tank weapon. Ehasa will be selling at-soldier patches on place or in advance.
