Mayday, mayday, the helicopter has been hit, we’re going down! 

In the 1990s, an Army special forces mission went wrong when a helicopter was hit and crashed in the middle of a hostile city. Reinforcements have been dispatched, but their arrival keeps being delayed as hostile crowds approach the downed helicopter. A fight against the clock and a hostile insurgents crowd has begun, but who will return victorious?

The themed game is set during the 1990s Mogadishu operation, where the most important thing is not victory but the game’s theme and atmosphere. The game is played in multiple rounds, each with a different objective to complete. Short breaks are held between rounds, but no proper meal break is organized.

The game follows the rules of Turku Airsoft ry as well as game-specific special rules
