As far as Ranking is concerned,from what I saw on Irene 1 and 2 both COs relied on internal ranking with in the teams that were participating, they may have annexed unattached players or smaller squads, but mostly the squads consisted of either larger teams or multiple teams that were familiar with each other. Attempting to institute any other form of ranking other than the organic one the teams had, would end in complete and utter SNAFU. In general Airsoft players can have some difficulty, for what ever reason, following even elementary orders, with massive number I'm certain the problem would only be exacerbated.

The reason that a Operation of that size and complexity can be acredited with any sucess can be traced directly back to the organization of the teams particpating, with out that factor no amount of planning could make it successful.

Until the day all the Political B.S thats seems to plague airsoft in Canada comes to an end we will likely never get the chance to participate in some thing that extravagant.

I just wanna see Keystone Strike next year. But I completely agree with your statement. I think we could possibly see some sort of ranking system if it was completely sorted out before hand, but there's no guarantee that the units would follow through on their orders, unfortunately. However, if the teams were made up of, as you stated, smaller, familliar teams, then it could possibly work, or even individuals willing to submit to another team's ranks for the event. I'd like to see an organized event like this with actual COs and full ranking systems, missions, scouting, battle plans, the whole shebang. Whether it'll happen or not, that's to be seen.

- Sorry to digress like that.
