Take Control of the Battlefield: Win At Domination
The Domination Game (also known as "Capture and Hold") might just be the easiest game to run as a Battlefield operator. It is intuitive from the gamer's point of view as well.
Divide the group into two, roughly equal size, teams. Place the Battle Box, set as Domination Box, in the middle of where you are playing.
We normally allocate the "B Team" also known as the Bravo Clan i.e. the Blue Team head wraps or bandannas. And the "A-Team" also called the "Alpha Clan" i.e. the Red Team gets allocated jungle hats. Each team should have two types of headwear such as one with no brim and the other has a brim all the way around the head. Alternatively, you could have one team with red bandannas and one with blue. This tells the teams. The basic idea with this game is when the red team shoots the Domination Box the box flashes red. When the blue team shoots the Dom Box then it flashes blue. Whichever team has captured and held the box the longest wins! |

Ideally, the two teams will start out of sight on one another.
For bigger groups, you can scale-up the game and play a 3-Point Domination using three instead of just one Domination Box.
The Domination Game scales well for just about any size. From a small gorup of 6 (3 vs 3) up to very large groups.
However, it is possible to also play with very small groups. For example, our team has run a Domination game (3 teams) with just 3 players.
Place the Domination Box in the center of the Battlefield (about equal distance between the red/alpha team and blue/bravo team base). The gamers need to get in reasonably close to trigger the hit, and it can be tagged from any direction.
At the end of the game time, the team which had control for the most time wins! The box will flash that team color and the SFX is "bravo team is victorious" or "alpha team is victorious"
The winning team is the clan which dominated the box for the longest duration.
Battlefield Operators will need:
a master controller or PC running SATRWare for game management
a radio repeater (for large battlefields)
3 Battle Boxes (if playing in a two team format then you will need 2 battle boxes set as combo boxes and one set as the central Domination Box)
The Three Point domination is a variation on the standard domination game.
This variant is best suited for larger groups of players (30 or more players). Since there are more objective points that need to be controlled simultaneously. And this spreads our the area where the players can interact.
The winning squad is the team that controls the most domination boxes at game end.
Battlefield Operators will need:
a master controller or PC running SATRWare for game management
a radio repeater (for large battlefields)
up to 7 Battle Boxes (If playing in a two team format then you will need 2 Battle Boxes set as combination boxes and then 3 other box set as Domination Boxes. If playing in a three team format then you will need an extra battle box for that team's respawn point).
