COMMANDER DETAILS

OVERVIEW

Welcome to the meat grinder, commanders! If you haven't played CAX at Glory Paintball, let me warn you, it is no walk in the park. The field is dense, the game complex, and the civilians... unscrupulous. CAX technically doesn't require a traditional commander but every organization prospers under good leadership. If you want to command, contact Kyle Buckmaster on social media or call the office at 713-826-9570. You must be on a known team and have played a scenario event before, as a major part of your job will be recruiting players for your faction.

CAX 10

MARCH 14th, 2026

COMMANDER PERKS

Commander & XOs:

Commanders and their (1) Executive Officer (XO) each get Free admission, however, due to the ammunition being included in our ticket pricing, there is a $50 charge for the Commander and XO tickets. This doesn't come close to how much ammo you'll likely use but helps cover some of your ammunition costs for the weekend (e.g. there will be a stockpile of paintballs, grenades and smokes at your disposal). Command Staff tickets are NOT segmented like regular player tickets, and you are expected to show up for the WHOLE event. CAX has a way of chewing up new commanders, so don't ask to command if you aren't ready to commit. Kyle (the owner) will be available every game segment to answer questions and offer strategic and tactical options in case you get overwhelmed. Remember... it's just a game.

Pick 3 Lieutenants:

Your three Lieutenants will receive half off tickets, nearly all of which is going towards their ammunition costs for the weekend. Command Staff tickets are NOT segmented and you are expected to show up for he whole event.

COMMANDER ABILITIES

Ammunition:

All ammo and pyro at CAX is provided, but finite. Commanders and Lieutenants are the only players allowed to draw ammo and pyro from the armory. The available supply is limited to each game segment (Missions - Saturday, Night Fight - Saturday night, and Invasion - Sunday). The segment allocation is based on the number of players registered for a segment and the length of that segment (e.g. more ammo is available for Missions on Saturday than is for Night Fight Saturday night due to Night Fight being a shorter play period with likely fewer players).

Interrogating Detainees:

Commanders and their XO's are the only players allowed to force a civilian to show their black Confidential Card. The civilian must be inside the Detainee Facility to perform this action. On request, they must show, but retain their cards so as not to lose them, as they are needed for them to play. Make sure you do not TAKE their cards from them as it will result in a point dock.

COMMANDER RESPONSIBILITIES

Recruiting:

You are the primary person responsible for recruiting your faction's players. Glory will be running ads and generic posts but won't be recruiting anyone to any specific faction. The event is hard-ticket capped and you'll want competent shooters. Buckministan is the great equalizer, and there is a huge difference between a good scenario player and someone who actually knows how to shoot and pie corners properly. If you have a choice, choose the latter.

Organization:

You are in charge of organizing your force. Think about how to stage your players, how to group them into sub units, lines of communication and assigning leaders. I promise you, if you walk into CAX thinking you'll wing it or win with your special, jersey-wearing team bs, you're gonna have a bad day. You NEED to have a plan for casualties, for chain of command, and specialized jobs like engineers and civilian interaction teams. Telling a doorkicker to aggressively enter and round up a family inside their own home and then, once secured, flip switch and be an ambassador of peace is gonna lead to a BAD outcome.

Leadership:

You are responsible for your team. Breaking rules, shooting unarmed civilians, overshooting in a huff, arguing with a ref and any other general fuckery will cost you points. It spawns from low morale... and the occasional unfortunate necessity of recruiting douchebags to pad player counts... but will ultimately lose you the game. Keep your team of near-adult, whiny, military LARPers in check or I promise you, they'll lead to your demise... and your name, face, team logo and tragic final score being plastered on our site, scorecard and social posts. You are the leader, do not make the mistake of disregarding troop morale. Remind them, this is a GAME. If you have a player being a asshat and don't want to confront them, just tell Kyle and he will deal with it.

COMMANDER ASSETS

Battle Plan Template:

Commanders will receive a prebuilt Battle Plan on the morning of the event. This provided plan is created by actual combat veterans using our Infantry School curriculum, simplified for civilian consumption. You don't have to follow it, but it will give you guidance on how to plan your own strategy for some of the game's more difficult mechanics, like dealing with civilians.
