MSW 1-3.0 MILSIM WEST INSURGENCY 2018: The Grozny Insurgency: Player Guidebook февраль 2018 DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTION: FOR PUBLIC RELEASE WEST COAST OFFICE MILSIM WEST, SEATTLE, WA 1 MSW INSURGENCY MSW Insurgency is a live action large format social war-gaming event. It differs from other MSW events in a few key ways. The most obvious are the introduction of a Citizen faction and new rules governing trade, law and politics within the game. There is no longer a straightforward force on force situation, and the entire game shifts along a spectrum from peacetime occupation to Fallujah-level city fighting amongst innocent civilians. During the first half of MSW Insurgency participants are playing a political war-game for resources, political votes and territory. During the second half, a force on force situation could occur with civilians being forced to pick a side. The Citizen faction is often a temporary one and could at some point become part of a Militia attached to either the NATO or RUSFOR factions. Each faction will have the ability to form its own Militia during MSW Insurgency which they must recruit from among the Citizens. The Citizens and their appointed officials, authorities and public servants have resources provided to them by MSW which makes their cooperation a key asset to either faction. The participants in the CITIZEN faction control both physical and manpower resources which makes gaining majority control of them an objective for both armed factions. NATO and RUSFOR Militia will show allegiance by wearing pants, shirt, jacket or hat with a base color or camo pattern of tan/ACU for NATO and green for RUSFOR. The game is divided in to two Phases. During the first twenty four hours of the game the GROZNY HOUSING AUTHORITY (GHA) drives the activities of all factions by paying players in resources (ammo, MSW TQs, medic bottles) for public events, work or other activity. Typical civilian employment could include: Government Sector work; landscaping; trash collection; private business; public service; radio/tv; digital news media. Types of employment are really only limited by the imagination of the civilian players. Typical armed faction missions for which GHA will issue military material (ammo, TQs, Medic Bottles) include: security contractors (per mission); counter organized crime operations (police and para-military units only); riot control and law enforcement advising. The GHA authority issues payments from it’s secured central compound where a sizeable detachment of private security contractors from the civilian faction are employed as guards. There are also opportunities to work freelance on a per-job basis for the GHA to help run large events in town. At the end of the first 36 hours the citizens of Chechnya will participate in a referendum election cycle and choose to secede from the Russian Federation or stay. President Khazanov employs many citizens in his election commission. The election is planned for Sunday morning at 0800 Argun time. It will be held in the Government Sector.

Everyone must follow CASIL (Castle) laws. Table of Contents 3 IF NOTHING ELSE DO THIS GOLDEN RULE: • Respect other participants and their property. Play with sportsmanship. Whenever in doubt about how to act or behave in any situation not specifically mentioned within this manual or the TACSOP, always use your best judgment to keep within the spirit of the event. Don’t “game” the event, go with the flow and enjoy the experience. This is a collaborative gaming experience which requires all of our best efforts for success. ASK FOR CONSENT: • As always ask for consent when searching. The INSURGENCY format will allow for some irregular scenarios not found in our standard force on force format. If making physical contact with someone you don’t know personally seems appropriate to you in the scenario (detaining, searching, social networking or negotiations) be sure to ask for consent from any participants you intend to make physical contact with. This isn’t to say there aren’t situations when consent is implied (handshake offered and accepted) but any situation involving use of force or non-standard physical contact (almost anything beyond a handshake) needs to be done with consent. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE • Remember you are choosing it with others. You control your story in MSW INSURGENCY but you also affect the experience of other players around you. You choose to be either a member of a military unit or a member of a Citizen community. Your choices determine what your experience will be. If you try to snowflake your unit will be less effective. If you choose to rob or murder your neighbors your time as a civilian will likely end with a public execution and no vote in the elections. STAY IMMERSED • This doesn’t mean maintain a bad fake accent all weekend it means focusing your actions on achieving the goals you, you friends, your unit or ministry have set within the game. Wear the right stuff. If you are a Citizen dress as a civilian if you are in a uniformed faction adhere to their regulations in the TACSOP. Interact with people with your goals and role in the game in mind. You will get prompts from Cadre during event in processing and direction throughout the event but it’s your job to choose your own adventure. The goal of this game isn’t kill counts unless you’re counting. Most groups and factions will have win conditions to strive for to bring glory to their group, faction, or set of ideals jockeying for ideological control of Argun and the greater Chechnya. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Section 1: The GROZNY HOUSING AUTHORITY (GHA) Section 2: Chechen Faction Guide Section 3: NATO Faction Guide Section 4: Russian Faction Guide Section 6: References • Glossary • Locations • Faction Organization • Legal Process • Event timeline 5 SECTION 1 THE GROZNY HOUSING AUTHORITY (GHA) 6 The Chechen President and Administrator of Chechnya Ramzan Tiberius Khazanov is the current president and all-powerful ruler of the Chechen Republic since its foundation. Amid a rebellion against the Russian Federation, Ramzan emerged as ruler of Chechnya, first taking power through force and the use of his 'Khazanovites' para-military forces. After uniting the tribes he took Russian funding and supplies to further solidify his power by killing all terrorists and anti-Putin rebels. During this time, his father was killed by a makeshift bomb at a celebratory parade to honor the new President of Chechnya in 1994. This was also the year that The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. stopped production. It was a dark year for everyone. Ramzan crushed the remaining rebel forces and continues to help Moscow kill all dissenters in the region. He is hard but he is fair. He has won elections every two years for 24 years straight with 97% of the vote. Responsible for all police, medical, fire and other public services in Chechnya. He has the power to hire and fire government employees and has the support of the Chechen Ministers and Legislating body. There are various police forces operating under Khazanov within Chechnya and the villages surrounding Argun. The Grozny Police Department (GPD) run the neighborhoods and city centers of Grozny. The Chechen Highway Patrol (CHP) run the road network and surrounding villages. They are identifiable with black and blue police uniforms and gear. Khazanov's Khazanovites are also ever present wherever Ramzan goes, and are seen in blue camouflage, harassing citizens and swiping on Tindr/Grindr with no real job other than to enforce Ramzan's power. Most minor legal matters can be handled easily at the time of the infraction as all Chechen police officers are empowered to accept payment of fine on the spot of the offense. Violent crimes and more serious offenses carry heavy fines, require a trial by jury and often result in imprisonment or death. 7 The minister of Adminstering and minister of Law Burlap Tsarnaev is the current Minister of Administering and oversees all business and licensing administration within Chechnya. Headquartered in Argun's financial district, he lives a lavish lifestyle often criticized by the Minister of State Ran Free Press. Located in Building P within the government district of Argun, he oversees much of the daily permits and licensing as well as handles much of the state funding funneled into public works projects and events glorifying God and also Ramzan. He is also a village elder for Burkat Yurt, extremely religious, and president of the local 4-H club. James "Brownie" Skelly is the GHA Minister of Law for Chechnya. He often will personally take on the role of District Attorney and present cases in the grand court of Argun for judgement by Mullah Yermolav, the minister of Religion and most powerful man in Chechnya second only to Ramzan himself.
