MEDIC RULES
Medic Rules will be different from regular gameplay, with different actions being required based on a set of cards issued to medics at the start of the game.
1: Bleed out is 5 minutes for all players If bled out/cannot be healed, return to Company CCP and wait for 5 minutes. The player must then move to rejoin their platoon.
2: Buddy aid: Upon being shot for the first time anyone can receive buddy aid. Buddy aid is given in the form of a tourniquet issued at the start of the game. The TQ must be fully applied to an arm and fastened for the action to be complete.
If a player wearing 1 TQ is shot, they will require a Medic. Upon a medic arriving to give aid to a downed player they will then have to interact with the causality card system. There are 3 main cards that a medic will encounter.
Tier 1: Medic will administer a medic water bottle to the down player. Once the player has consumed the bottle they will return it to the medic, remove the TQ, and carry on alive.
Tier 2: Medic will apply a pressure bandage to the downed player, they will apply pressure for the amount of time stated on the card. They will then remove the bandage and the TQ. The player is then alive.
Tier 3: Medic will have to both apply a bandage for the card’s stated time THEN the downed player must consume a water bottle. These actions must be done in sequence and not simultaneously.
