Respawn

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)
Safety goggles must be worn at respawn areas.

Special rules for the civilians:

Civilians have to visit the town, ReMedTech or humanitarian relief agency doctor after being healed, or they will die within 60 minutes of their injuries
Madical assistance can only be given by a doctors listed above. The healing lasts 2 minutes after which the player must go and rest for 15 minutes at safe spot.
The civilians respawn at the civilian respawn point, that are located at the outskirts of Hakionkylä, Tiirikylä and Kalastajakylä
Respawning happens with a double timer, which means you have to wait over one respawn at the point to respawn.
The characters remains in game despite being respawned, but if instructed that the character dies the game masters will provide the player with a new personality.

Capture- and resourcepoints

The capture and resource points are flagboxes made by Ehasa.
The capture points are marked alphabetically in the Status-system. Respawning is allowed from capture points. There are respawn areas in the vicinity of the capture point from where you can respawn.
The resource points are numbered in the Status-system. You can not respawn at resource points. Resource points appear as gold mines and they have only one purpose and that is to collect gold for your faction to develop the RSV-device which further provides resources for the faction.
If the mining equipment is broken there will be instructions on how to fix it.
You can follow the situation live from the Status.ehasa.org -website. Necessarily not every capture point is known to the faction and they can also be destroyed or used empty.
Capturing a flag point takes normally 30 minutes after pressing the button coloured by factions. Some of the buttons may be remotely disabled.
After 30 minutes the flag box will make a sound and after that the player has one minute to press the button again to confirm the capture. After this the flag box will be assigned to your faction.
The information about the capture will immediately transmit to the status.ehasa.org-site after the first press of the button.
It is not allowed to respawn from the capture point during the capturing process. The players have wait for it to be captured or go to another respawn point to respawn.

Rallypoint-cache

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 with use. Inside the tent there is a resourceboard where you 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 enemy rallypoints by stealing the resourceboards. You can use the boards in your team own cache.

Ingame money

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.

Knife kill

For anything else than knife killing a wounded player, you need real looking soft replica knife or blade weapon.
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

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.
Players wearing helmets cannot be knocked out.

OC-spray/Taser/Baton

You can use so called less leathal weapons in game that do not kill the player. These are provided by the game masters.

Training OC-spray, which deplys water or soap water.
Tasers, which are colored waterpistols provided by the game masters.
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.

Suicide- and IED-bombs:

Game masters appoint the use of suicide- and IED-bombs
The explosion of a bomb can be noticed by a loud explosion achieved by pyrotechnic effects and smoke grenades.

The bomb affects an area of about 10x10 meters
Suicide bombers have the same hit rules as any other players. Wounded suicide bombers can’t trigger the bomb.

Searching a player

Players can be searched in the following ways:

The player doesn’t want to be searched. The player must surrender all ingame material and he can’t use any hidden weapons after it.
The player wants to be searched, even strip searched or patted down. The subject is informed that he can stop the search at any time by saying so. All weapons not found in the search can be used by the player.
The player doesn’t want to be searched and wants to go offgame. The player must surrender all ingame material and he cannot be taken as a prisoner.

All ingame material found in the search can be taken away from the player.

Prisoners:

You are allowed to take prisoners.
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.

Uusimaa and Pirkanmaa 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.

Landmines

Anything that makes a noise or sets off an noticable effect by some sort of trigger/trap is to be treated as landmine.
If you trigger this kind of landmine, everyone in a 3 meter radius gets wounded.
Possible waste from the used landmine should be taken away before setting the mine up or after the mine has been set off.

Cluster bombs and minefields

As a result of the Åland and Sweden air bombardments, there are fixed minefields in the game area with cluster bombs.
The minefields are marked with a yellow "Mines" ribbons. There may be resource points or other key places inside the areas or the minefields may close roads.
Submunitions are displayed as painted clay pigeons.
Only the workers of an international relief organization equipped with a minesweeper can go in to the minefields. They remove all clay pigeons, announce this to the game masters, and only after that the minefield is removed and the area is safe to walk.

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.
Destroyed vehicles can transport eliminated players.
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
