Cimmerians and Guests are a hardcore group of more than 35 individuals conduct monthly Cimmerian combat re-enactment operations. Compatible operators 
who wish to try Cimmerian historical military re-enactment and small unit tactical simulations are encouraged to SIGN-UP with Cimmerian Command to Sign-up for an OP. All potential participants should be advised that Cimmerian operations require a different mindset than "games" like airsoft or paintball, as well as a particularly high degree of fidelity and personal integrity. Any violation of the Cimmerian Rules of Engagement or Cimmerian Code of Conduct at any Cimmerian operation will result in the immediate dismissal of the participant from the AO, and the violator will not be invited back.
Areas of Operation
Cimmerian operations involve much more realism, historical basis, adventure, and substantially less expense than conventional paintball events that you might be used to. To achieve the level of realism, Cimmerian historical combat re-enactments are held legally in national forests, land managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), Federal range lands, and on private property. Several re-enactment AOs are located in the Sierra Nevada range, near Auburn, California, and the Nevada desert outside of Reno, Nevada. Cimmerian operations often include "RECON camp" the Firday night before Saturday's OP. At least twice a year full weekend camps are held. These camping weekends are the ultimate Cimmerian events! Cimmerian-style operations typically run all day long. Then, it's time for the camaraderie of the staging area or campsite, where combatants, still in the military role, relax after an exciting day of fighting and swapping stories of the day's action. Night OPs are becoming more and more frequent with the renound 24hour Recon OP offered most every October.
Camping
Cimmerian operations that include camping are the troops favorite times. After the last battle of Saturday is when the campfires begin and the food pours forth for the traditional Saturday night potluck. Good food and drink accompanied by friends, both new and old, gather around to recount the day's reenactment action.
Cimmerian Concern for the Environment
Since Cimmerian operations are conducted outdoors, Mother Nature provides the fields, and she has been kind enough to provide some wonderful places to conduct re-enactments. In return, it is only fair that Cimmerians and guests help Mother Nature preserve the environment. All honorable Cimmerians feel this is not only the right thing to do, but is a duty as well.
All operators who participate in Cimmerian operations may use only Fully Biodegradable BBs (EFB), which are available from many Airsoft vendors as well as at the field at Cimmerian operations. When you participate in a Cimmerian operation, you are never required to use "field ammo" as long as you use FB ammo. No plastic or metal ammo is allowed, and any participants caught using anything but FB BBs will be immediately asked to leave.
Cimmerians and guests must always pick up BBs spilled in the staging areas or field, as well as other trash that is spotted, whether it is their trash or not. By doing this, Cimmerians not only help Mother Nature, but they help themselves and the organization by ensuring unencumbered access to those pristine fields of operation in the future.
Cimmerian Base of Operations
The Cimmerians is based out of the Northern California and Northern Nevada. Cimmerian members are located throughout California and Nevada. For legal reasons we operate primarily on public lands of the National Forest or BLM in the Sierras and neighboring low lands east and west.
Non-Cimmerian Operator Participation
Cimmerian operations were originally open to new and veteran operators alike. However, in order to maintain the highest standards of re-enactment and conduct, Cimmerian operations are now open to all operators who pass through our screening process. If you are interested in attending a Cimmerian operation, please SIGN UP and fill out a waiver. It is important to keep in mind that Cimmerian operations are non-commercial immersive educational events and therefore all participants are Cimmerians or guests of the Cimmerians. As such, guests are expected to behave correctly, and conduct themselves in a manner consistant with the Cimmerian Code of Conduct and have adequate equipment. Cimmerian command reserves the right to monitor the behavior of participants, and expects all participants to abide by official rules. Spectators are never allowed at Cimmerian operations because they would distract the action and detract from the realism. Everyone who participates in a Cimmerian operation is expected to be properly self attired, self equipped and 100% ready to participate.
Occassionally, Cimmerian operations employ the use of "non-combatants" as part of the scenario in the case of a POW or hostage, etc. If you are interested in applying for a role as a non-combatant, please contact a Cimmerian.
