Okto Eight Milsim

Only three spaces left now.

There is a ship on the west coast of the USA that is used by a milsim company for games.

A large stately home with lots of (fake) mirrors, clocks, dinner sets and fittings that can be shot up in the game -

Sounds like our site at Eversley (without the humidity). It was nearly 30 deg C there on Sunday and the foliage which is fern is very dense. We even have the structures.

While there are a lot of milsimmers who like the long continuous games of 24 - 48 or even 72 hours sometimes, we accept that not everybody wants a game that long or intense. That is why we offer two continuous 8 hour games with a decent nights sleep in between. Theres nothing wrong with either; its just customer choice. The eight hours is where the Okto name comes from. Our new Technical with a .50 cal AEG

The grey shop have got 6b7-1M back in stock at 108 Euro.

Typical MPF Rebels loadout:

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

We've found Airsoft Zone at Romford very good. They're also very "eastern bloc" friendly when we want to talk SVDs and AK's !!

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.

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.

Yes obviously we know who he is, but as one of our customers it would be wrong for us to name him. As far as we know, he doesnt belong to this forum, so the only way to contact him would be through the Okto community group on Facebook.

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.

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.

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.

For the rebels, yes I would say so.

MPF - Moldistan Peoples Front = Rebels loadout is: Top or Bottom in DPM or Flecktarn; not both. If trousers are camo, top should be in solid colour such as solid green, tan /brown or black. If top is camo, trousers should be in solid colour such as solid green, tan/brown or black. Top and Bottom in a solid colour such as solid green, tan or black also permissible. Assault vests and chest rigs should be solid green, tan or black – preferably rigs rather than plate carriers – think guerilla. Eastern Bloc weaponry such as AK47 and derivatives. Headgear is optional and players should be either bareheaded or wear solid colour patrol caps, cold weather or woollen caps, berets, watch caps, balaclava, scarf/bandanna, Tam O’Shanters, Pakol’s, forage or peaked caps, etc. No helmets, baseball hats or boonies. Other dark camouflages might be accepted for the top or bottom camouflaged half, subject to prior agreement at time of booking, but definitely not A-TACS or ACU Digital, MTP or Multicam.

The bare site itself is used by Gunman, Okto and Reforger at different times. Without the props its just a very large woodland site.

Believe so and we had heard it was being rescheduled.

The BRDM happened just after Op Tailspin and it now lives at Kings Langley and gets wheeled out for special events.

If you mean the JBBG guy, no its not.

The sites are obviously there all the time, but the props arent. Also the village at Eversley is normally out of play for normal non-Okto games. Our sister company run skirmishes there virtually every couple of weeks. They do walk on's but Okto is prebook only. They are good sites at any time but just wanted to be transparent about what you get. Mind you, there is also a price difference between a Gunman skirmish weekend and an Okto Eight milsim weekend.

Have you played any games at all yet ? If you are buying a two tone weapon to get into airsoft, its worth playing a game or two to look whats others are doing and formulate what you need. Its easy to buy kit and have to replace it because you dont like it or its wrong for your game style. Just take it slowly. Loadouts get built up - it doesnt happen overnight.

Military 1st do some good quality ones. Bush hats which are less brimmed are also worth a look in the same store.
