One team must get a "hostage" away from the other team and bring him back unharmed.

Teams:

Rescuers,

Terrorists

Setting Up:

1. Terrorists pick one Rescuer to act as the Hostage.

2. Two Hostage Holding Areas are designated. The location of one of the Hostage Holding Areas is disclosed to the Rescuers. Terrorists do not know which location was disclosed.

3. Establish an area the Rescuers will have to take the Hostage in order to win the game. This is known as Sanctuary. Terrorists know where Sanctuary is.

Suggested Time Limit:

30 minutes. The time limit can be changed to accommodate variations in field size, cover, number of players, etc.

Rules:

1. Terrorists are given a five minute head start to take the Hostage to one of the Hostage Holding Areas.

2. A start of Game Signal is given to let Terrorists know when the game has begun.

3. Terrorists cannot move the Hostage out of the Hostage Holding Area.

4. The Hostage cannot attempt escape.

5. If the Hostage is hit, the team that hit him looses.

6. The Hostage must have at least one Rescuer with him when he reaches Sanctuary for the Rescuers to win.

7. If the Hostage finds himself alone for some reason, after being rescued, he must stay where he is and wait for the

Rescuers to find him again. He may call out for help if he wishes.

8. All players must begin the game at their flag station (or assigned starting point) and cannot leave that area until the game begins.

9. Players who are hit are out of the game.

10. Players who are eliminated may not, by word or gesture, indicate any intentions or locations of the opposing team member's.

Winning:

Terrorists: Stop the Rescuers from bringing Hostage to Sanctuary.

Rescuers: Bring Hostage to Sanctuary.

Tactical Advantage:

A living objective instead of a flag changes a lot of things.

Flags don't talk back, flags don't want to stop and take a rest, flags don't hide behind you shouting "Get him.

Not him. HIM! You moron!" You must protect the Hostage at all costs.

When he/she is in the custody of the opposing team you must also be careful because if you hit him YOU lose the game.

Those players protecting the hostage should therefore stay real close to him, the opposition may not want to risk shooting at you if they think they might hit the Hostage.
