MGP Amerika 2 event, a great kickoff to the series

On Feb. 25, 2012, Mindgame Productions hosted a very successful airsoft milsim event at Waynes World of Paintball in Ocala, FL.



The scenario is based on "what if D-Day failed."

When the D-Day landing fell apart on the beaches of Normandy, the hope of Democracy died alongside tens of thousands of Allied troops. The success of the Third Reich's atomic weapons project halted the Red Army in the radioactive ruins of Poland. Operation SeaLion ground the British Empire beneath the heel of the Reich. The threat of German atomic bombers over Moscow brought Stalin to sign a ceasefire in 1945. German and Japanese troops landed on the east and west coasts of the United States in 1946, ripping through the broad heartlands with strategic atomic strikes that neutralized massed US resistance. Working feverishly, the Manhattan project was able to complete its work from new facilities in Calgary and the remnants of the United States and Canada detonated atomic weapons against German forces near Colorado Springs and Rapid City. By the time the cease-fire was signed in 1949, all that remained of the United States was a crippled handful of states in the Pacific North-West and east along the Canadian border to North Dakota.  

Over 60 years later, the citizens of chafe under the control of Berlin and the Amerikanisches Reichsgovernor. Crop failures and inability to meet industrial production quotas have increased the pressure from Berlin. Deadly force has quelled protests against the Reichsgovernor, until the embers of resistance flashed to open flame in the Reichstaat of Florida, rapidly spreading through other regions of the Amerikan Reich. The campaign has begun as the Alliance of Free America, Canada and Cuba join their regular troops with the freedom fighters of the underground resistance movement. The fight to liberate Amerika has begun! 

This game was the kick-off event for what will be a series of games held throughout Florida this year, in an ongoing campaign.

"Think of a game of RISK... in which many of the battles are fought on airsoft fields...Teams that have staked out their alliegence to the Amerikan Reich or the Resistance movement will see the results change the strategic map over time, as the two powers fight over Florida - one corner of the greater war underway for the liberation of Amerika." -Mac McLaughlin, Mindgame Productions

The campaign is set to conclude in Feb. 2013.
