Noobs and Milsims

[n1ckh]

Excellent

Do you have a date for January, when booking starts & prices please ??

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

We normally fix the date within a fortnight of the end of the preceeding op and then booking starts about a fortnight after that.

The price for the 2015 games was/is £60 for the weekend with free camping.

The price for the 2016 games hasn't been fixed yet but if it goes up, it will only be an extra fiver.

Places are reserved by a £25 paypal deposit.

Thankyou very much okto

So looking about begining of December ?? for all details etc & I follow you on Facebook where all details for each side is displayed

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

No the next op is 22/23rd August, so the January game will be posted up in the second or third week of September and booking for new players will open mid October.

The event goes up on the FB page, but if you're keen its probably worth joining our community group where all the guys hang out between games.The games are three times a year but the story goes on all year round.

I like the idea of having real cap, or at least more realistic magazine loads with limited bb carried forcing mag changes and reloading. Less spray and pray, and more ammo conservation. Would also allow a level the playing field for those with GBB guns.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Most milsims have this. Some of the Gunman ones allow hi-caps but Okto is mid or low cap only.

Many of our first timers are horrified at only being allowed to carry 600 rounds on them in mags, but once they play we find that many of them like it.

When sides are equipped equally ammo-wise, a lot of contacts end up being semi-auto or short bursts to conserve ammo and shots need to count.

We also use different regen rules which means players really dont want to get shot, so their behaviour is a bit closer to real life.

That's how I play, I use mid caps on semi only unless a non hit taker is being stubborn then it's a few short bursts & then gets reported to the marshalls

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

CIV-POP is a military term for civilian population and its often used in milsims to describe people playing civilians in the game.

These characters are normally actors who play the role of non-combatants in a game.

It can take many forms from Afghan pashtun villagers to VIPs to be protected.

For example, in the first Okto Eight game we had President Gretsky of Moldistan and his trusty bodyguard.

The rebels had to ambush his opening of the Titanium mine and attempt to assasinate him. They failed. The government forces did an excellent job of escorting him, despite an RPG attack which took out their vehicle.

Last game, we had a farmer on a tractor wearing an IED around his neck and begging the teams to help him.

Whatever the role, CIV-POP can really keep players on their toes.

Sounds awesome can't wait to Join the rebels. Need to buy an Ak next.

 

[Baz JJ]

More CIV-POP planned for next months game in just over 3 weeks time.

 

[Baz JJ]

The guys love AKs.

There are all kinds together with some more unusual variations.

I have an AK103 and a Real Sword Type 56, which is not a Russian Kalashnikov at all.

Sounds awesome can't wait to Join the rebels. Need to buy an Ak next.

Me neither, I need to get an AK aswell

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Good morning all.

AKs arent compulsory. The rebels have a kind of special forces guerilla cell called Shadow Troop and the leader of ST rocks a Sterling SMG.

We also rent AKs for our games if you only need one for Okto games.

If you like AKs generally, its always worth joining our Kill Club community group on Facebook which not only covers our games but also spends a lot of time discussing eastern bloc weapons. Something was posted up just this morning about E&L kit.

I'm looking into the cyma Akmsu. As it looks like something different and I can also use it for cqb.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Yes we use Cyma as rental guns. We have to downgrade our ones to get them down to 350fps on 0.2g's

A very good choice.

Typical MPF Rebels loadout:

 

[Baz JJ]

Ive just seen a milsim game advertised as a 35 hour game. Would you want to play airsoft for 35 hours straight and sleep in game with specs on?

Can't quite comprehend wearing contacts for more than 12 hours tbh, 18 at a stretch with rehydration.

I would not even pay for props that just sit there to look at. Or some vehicles to see pass by, maybe ride once.
