Nerf Wars: Tactical Siege
Introduction
This variation of the Nerf Wars base game allows for close quarters combat, room to room, usually with a distinct attacking and defending team. Depending on the scenario the objectives could be elimination, hostage extraction/protection, bomb diffusion or intel acquisition. Each situation may have specific rules detailed under the respective sections.
Objective
Several different objectives are possible depending on the type of game the group chooses to play:
Classic: Eliminate all opposing players. Unlike the base game, there are no respawns.
Hostage Extraction: The defending team tries to stop the attacking team from rescuing a hostage they have taken to some part of the arena. To extract the hostage the attacking team must lead the hostage by the arm to the deployment/extraction zone
Hostage Protection: The defending team tries to stop the attacking team from eliminating a hostage they are protecting in some part of the arena. The hostage has 3 health and may not move or be moved.
Espionage: Each team has a certain item that they keep in a designated spot of the arena. The first team to retrieve the opposing team’s intelligence item and return it to their deployment zone wins.
General Rules
The general rules of combat are slightly different than the base game and are summarized in the following sections:
Set Up
The play area consists of a predetermined area where the game will be allowed to be played in and a deployment area(s) for the attacking team. During the preparation phase the defending team is given a predetermined amount of time (suggested 30 seconds) to put up barriers close doors and position themselves in the arena. After this time, all barriers are fixed and doors can only be opened. They may not enter the deployment area(s) of the attacking team.
Arena Rules
-Barricades can be moved and doors can be closed during the preparation phase of the game (the first 30 seconds). Barricades cannot be moved and doors can only be opened and kept open during combat.
-No forcefully taking other players weapons, or grabbing them.
-No picking up used ammo on the ground unless you are support class. Grenades may never be reused during a game.
-Eliminated players must sit on the ground and may not communicate the location of any opposing team members until the level is completed or failed. Recon players are exempt from the non-communication rule.
-When revived, the player has only 1 hit of health restored and comes back in the game with the remainder of their load out. If a player was eliminated by a grenade, they may not be revived.
-No weapons or ammo may be acquired or swapped with eliminated players.
-No respawns are allowed during a Tactical Siege game.
Player Class
Each player can select between 4 different classes or a custom built class before the game begins. Each player must make their class known to all players before the game begins and may not switch class mid game. Both teams must agree to the class determinations of each team before the game begins to ensure a balanced game. Beginning load outs can then be determined for each player. The following is a description of each class and their load out options:

At which point they can still communicate things visible to them to their team mates. They can take 2 hits before elimination.

Weapon Rules
Ranged: For any weapon, each round that strikes any part of a player or their weapon is considered a hit. Head shots are instant elimination. For grenade launchers, players hit directly on their bodies or their weapon are eliminated and players hit by the grenade after it bounces off any surface once, receive one hit.
Melee: All melee weapons are single hit elimination if the user hits the torso or head of the target player. If an appendage or their weapon is hit, it counts as one hit. Melee weapons may not be thrown.
Grenades: No hitting other players directly with a grenade is allowed. All players in site of the grenade are eliminated when the fuse expires. Opposing players may not pick up live grenades to throw them back.
Getting Eliminated and Being Revived
When eliminated the player must vocally acknowledge that they are eliminated and remain where they were eliminated or go back to the deployment zone for the rest of the game. They may not vocalize the position of opposing players after they are eliminated until they are revived or unless they have the Recon ability.
If a player is waiting to be revived by a support class team member, the player sits on the ground where they were eliminated and may not attempt to recover ammo. The eliminated player then has 20 seconds before they can no longer be revived. The eliminated player must vocalize this by counting to 20 at a reasonable pace.
To revive an eliminated player, the support class team member clasps their shoulder and vocalizes reviving the player. They are then immediately active again with 1 health and the remainder of their loadout.
