[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

To be fair, I caused a war crime deliberately. 

I was exchanging shots with one of my Outcasts, who were playing for Vukodlak, and I had just been payed 100 snozzbucks to merc for Calladia. 

At that moment the arms dealer pulled up, so I threw all my weapons in the back of the truck.

Now an unarmed civilian, I stepped out of cover and Ramon shot me in the chest. 

Boom, war crime 😁

Same game as the Captain, pics by Daniel Wiltshire, going back to my og team's camo.

Had a great day with great team mates.

And those accusations of war crimes are ludicrous.

 

I believe you played with my boys, the Outcasts, if I'm not mistaken. 

They were well impressed with your playing.

I'm picky about my rums, but Kraken is the best when it comes to a decently priced rum.

There are better, but then the price starts creeping up.

Okay, good point! 😆

Had to keep this under wraps, until after the battlesim. 

New game objective, find all the components required to launch the rocket, including the nose cone.

[The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread]

Well, yesterday at Red Alert was our 4th, and final, Battlesim in the Vukodlak war story line. 

The past three years Vukodlak forces have been victorious. 

 

Having played for Vukodlak in previous years, this year I decided to marshal which, as with many battlesims, meant playing as a civilian/quest giver. 

I spiced it up by playing as a pirate. 

I was giving out quests to find my lost parrot.

There were 3 inflatable parrots hidden about the site, but I had drawn an eye patch on one, and in my quest spiel I mentioned that Polly only had one eye. 

If they brought back the parrot with the eye patch they got a reward.

I also had a bottle of grog, which got hidden, and there was a reward if they brought me "alcohol".

 

The main objective of the day was to find all the items needed to arm a rocket, and then launch it. 

The rocket is something I've been building recently, but kept off of social media so it would be a surprise for the players on the day. 

There were two nose cones, one for each team, a round one and a pointy one (pointy is scary).

 

Other civilians had other quests.

The drug dealers were selling bags of stuff, for in game currency.  This could be handed in to the sheriffs for a reward, or bartered with other npcs.

There was the Hobo wandering the site with his wheelbarrow full of junk, but underneath the junk was a laptop that contained the launch codes. 

Driving around in his pickup was the arms dealer. He would sell you weapons that you could plant on any unarmed civilians you may have shot, and thereby avoid a war crime. 😉 

The Camels wanted water, mostly...

Some civilians were mercs, that would fight for a team for short time, if paid well. 

 

At the end of the day Vukodlak were victorious AGAIN, despite some excellent play from the Calladian forces. 

 

It was a bloody marvellous day, that ended with both teams wearing massive grins and swapping stories over a beer. 

 

So roll on 2025, for a whole new story for our next battlesim!

 

Unfortunately a lot of people had already gone home before we took the last photo after debrief.

I hope folks evolve to see that this kinda thing is absolutely up there in terms of what makes (or breaks) their games.

 

Once you get on to a field it is soooo obvious which sites have been maintaining structures and features/replacing stuff that's beyond repair vs ones that just let everything rot forever, tape it off and call that good.  Obviously this is not a big money industry so in some instances it's unavoidable or understandable, but since the last place I played had a fair few 'bridges' that were falling to bits and not safe I do enjoy seeing this a lot I have to say.

 

We're doing a lot of maintenance right now. More bridges to come, some structures to be torn down and replaced, some repaired, some new ones.

Woodland with a few knackered barricades just doesn't cut it.

The decking will be gritted and painted, for extra grip. Think skateboard grip tape, on a larger scale. 

We've had 6 of us jumping down on this one. My welds hold 😉

Oh, and I added this today.

Ok thank you I think will buy an aeg as my budget overall for the gun plus the mags is around £300 thank you 🙏 

Wise decision. 

Have a look around the forum, and feel free to ask questions about any gun you're considering buying. 

There is a huge amount of experience and knowledge, going back decades, on this forum. 

We can stop you buying a lemon. 

 

[G&G LevAR 15]

Ooohoo. I look forward to your report!

I think it looks gorgeous, but G&G makes me hesitant.

He's back again.

 

Bad sport! He's not even telling us how many entries there are so we can't estimate a margin, assuming that there actually is a prize draw. I bet he'd have to sell at least 40 or 50 tickets to be able to turn a profit.

Rhino urine. 

[Gbb guns]

While gas guns are more fun, they have their pros and cons. 

One con is cost. Even a simple GBBR can set you back pretty much double the cost of an aeg equivalent. 

As mentioned above, if you're relatively new to Airsoft, stick with AEG for now, with perhaps a GBB sidearm. 

 

Though on a personal note: since I bought my first gbbr I tend to rarely use aeg now. 

[What have you made?]

A bridge to go across the stream at Red Alert. 

It has two flag holders, one on each hand rail, for capture the bridge games. 

I'll be making more, and other additions to the site. 

One is finished but I'm not allowed to show it till after this Sunday's battlesim 😉

[In a quandry...]

I vote Band of Brothers

[G&G LevAR 15]

I really want one, but I'm going to wait for some reviews.
