Morning gents,
Just my two cents on my latest game at Apocalypse Airsoft on the 18/03/2018.
I went with 3 others I regularly attend skirmish sites with. We traveled through the Snow to get there. If you are heading north of the A249, you will need to do a u turn about 2 minutes away from Apoc as it is down a slip road on the dual carriage way.
Got there, with it behind a car garage and cafe. Just be mindful if you are only doing half a day as you might get a car parked behind you.
Facilities were good, enough space for everyone to have their own bench to gear up. With a fire pit in the middle. Everyone gets breakfast with their walk on, they do sell burgers etc for lunch.
First game was up, and noticed that the structures were awesome. It's recently been worked on (Has a great trench system), which you can tell. Nice tall sniper nests, buildings and mock villages. We were tasked with capturing the enemy equipment in their base (And vice versa for them). But were quickly overran and resorted to defending our own base quite quickly. After a few attempted counter attacks by us, I found 3/4 of our team by the regen, so the enemy quickly managed to take all our equipment and retreat back to the village (Which was around half way between both bases). Found it very tricky to be able to successfully storm the village if you are attacking as there are alot of posts and buildings that an attacking team cant see, but easy for a defending sniper or dmr to shoot at will and range. We failed terribly. The game lasted around 2-2:30 hours, I do love a long game.
Lunch
Second game. The enemy team were tasked to find a 4x4, bring it to their base to load the equipment on ; and then go around the map with the 4x4 'destroying' the bases held by my team. First time I have been involved with a moving vehicle, and quickly found me and my team were behind enemy lines picking them off from the back. We attempted to storm the village again, whilst they were taking their time loading the vehicle and had some slight success. After a while I noticed that quite a few of my team were just relaxing by regen, so it made it extremely difficult for us to counter or put up some sort of resistance.
Snow then started to come down quite heavily and the majority of players thought best to pack up early and leave (Around 3pm). But overall a fun game day, first time I have skirmished with snow and a vehicle. But felt like a milsim day rather than a skirmish. Recommend it.
