    Hello from Cheltenham

    Haha, I was in a small village over near Charlbury/Burford so quite a difference. The prison certainly looks great from what I've been able to see and I can get there easily by bus so double good. I better get shopping then!

    Hello from Cheltenham

    Hey! Been out of the game for quite a number of years due to life etc but hoping to get back into it this year now that I've moved out of the sticks and into the Big City of Cheltenham. I'm hoping to try Strikeforce and UCAP, both over in Gloucester, as I don't drive I'm limited to places I can...

    Tm G3 Sg/1 and TM Mc51 Plus Batteries and Assorted Mags

    Thanks both, that's not as pricey as I thought actually so perfectly doable.

    Tm G3 Sg/1 and TM Mc51 Plus Batteries and Assorted Mags

    Perfect thanks, will do! I'm assuming this sort of thing would be collection only as posting something this large might be cost prohibitive. Plus not sure of the rules in regards to posting RIFs?

    Tm G3 Sg/1 and TM Mc51 Plus Batteries and Assorted Mags

    TM G3 SG/1 old and untouched for quite some time, TM MC51 ( with solid stock ) fairly old and also untouched for some time, 4 hicaps, 2 lowcaps, a sling, a TM scope mount for the G3 ( with a scope that is missing some of the clamps ) and a few NIMH batteries. Any ideas? What's one up from the...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Another possible revenue stream, space permitting, is a gun range. Not really sure of logistics, or even interest, so just throwing out an idea but basically you'd rent a lane for £x an hour and you can come along with your own stuff and practice ( to avoid the nosy neighbour issue in back...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    I like the numbered armband idea yea that's good and added.  I can't find a copy of the Mall's rules, naturally, and was thinking it might be one of the rules for the new Zed Adventures site but it's not listed, able to tell me what the rule was? Yea chrono will have to be absolutely enforced...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Thank you all for all comments so far, incredibly helpful! Here is a link to the current rules list, it's not final nor in any particular order, just writing it as I think of things / things get mentioned. All feedback is very welcome and encouraged...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Haha yea, it'll be quite a while before I get to the purchasing stage so hopefully it'll all be sorted by then but if not I'll just get a smorgasbord of rentals and spin the variety as a feature. Any particular brands that you do rate, Elite Force seem popular? But will need to find a...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    I was thinking that the group would be all rentals but they would at least all know each other - rather than just a Rental only day where strangers turn up - so it might make it a bit better, but then yea it might make it worse if they all know each other and take things too far.   Just trying...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Yea it would need to be marshalled properly, I guess I was thinking much like sten party might do go-karting, laser tag, a room escape, anything like that, they could also do a few hours of airsofting. Not easy to find someone no, but certainly can be done. Just need to make sure I pay them...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Yea more realistic rooms is exactly what I'm thinking. In my day job I make first person adventure / room escape games and half of that is just dressing the games to look interesting and fit the narrative, so I'm hoping I can take some of that knowledge and bring it to set design in real life.

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    Yea it was more just for spares and just ballparking prices, figured it's best to err on the side of caution just when I'm in early stages now thinking about things, and then if after a little more time of thinking about it it looks like something I can actually do I'll get more specific with...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    That's a very good point yea, will make sure it's all fully explained and agreed upon, in writing, what can and can't be done. Re: training days, still deciding on how that might work best and think two versions could work well, days targeted at Joe Public that want an adrenaline experience...

    Setting up a CQB Site, What Should I Be Thinking About?

    I think potentially trying to separate gamestyles to different days could work maybe? One skirmish day would be aimed at quicker/simpler/casualer games and another at the milsims and the a separate day for speedsofters. This of course requires there to be enough of each type to support that...
