    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Well the company will be registered in a few hours and then it's all systems go. We've then got to open the bank account and take out the Insurance. The website and all the Social media sites are under construction and we're aiming for our first event end of May time! We're off to the Airsoft...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    I don't think it would ever get intercepted as it would be re supplied forward by the exercise directing staff. That's good to know though. We could accept requests for all Ammo and Grenades, Pyro etc. why only reload in a safe zone?? It would be good to reload under fire in certain scenarios

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Another thing we're thinking of doing to add realism and I'm not sure if people would be interested in doing this, but would people be willing to pay a bit more for entry if they didn't have to buy any Pyro or Ammo etc? We'd resupply when requests came in as if it were real. That way people...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Without a good Comms plan then the whole Sim would fall apart before it even got started. We're currently looking into a few different options for radios. I'm not going to start trying to reprogram radios but we will certainly look at different options and I f I need to buy a radio licence then...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Haha! They're not that bad! I suppose it depends on how real you want to make the Sim! We'll take a look at some other options as well rather than Clansman for the Battle Group net. TBH I'd prefer not to use Mil Radios as they're a pain in the a** and I can't really be bothered with hassle of...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Yeah well that's our plan too. We would accept calls for fire over a " Tac Net" with dems already in situ.

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Yeah that's the kind of thing we're looking at. Inter Fire Team/Section Comms to enable teams to communicate, but then each Section/ Platoon has a dedicated signaller to speak to Zero for any Contact Reports, Requests for Resupply, Casevac etc! The people who have their own radios, are they...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    What's people's opinions on Comms? For a full on Mil Sim, I'd like every player wired up, so they can speak within their team, and then one individual within the team acting as a signaller who can speak higher up the chain with Main (ExCon). What's people's experience, good and bad, with working...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Well the exercise we're considering does have quite a significant river flowing through it. I'd have to check about river crossings as no doubt this would affect the insurance, and people would need to be properly trained. Their is the option to do bridge building I suppose if we could manage to...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Well things are starting to take shape. We've started to think about a few different scenarios, we've looked into Public Liability Insurance, and registering with the UKARA. We've got some ideas in mind for locations and will make enquiries when in work on Monday. We've decided to attend the Air...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    We've got an idea of a training area, and are planning on speaking to the Range Warden at the beginning of the week. It's not on the same scale as Salisbury Plain, with Copehill Down, or Eastmere Village on STANTA, but it has a good variety of bunkers, ammo compounds, open fields and woodlands...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    We should be able to get Comms without too many issues! These are one of the must haves to add to the realism as far as we're concerned. Obviously it will be dependant on the size of the exercise area and numbers involved! I'd love to be able to offer the option to allow people to dig in, but I...

    Thanks for the offer of help Baz, much appreciated! Mike 636, that's the kind of thing we hd in mind, just allocate different jobs within the teams and let them figure out how to achieve the objectives! Russe11 I love the sound of that! I was just chatting to my mate about adding realism and...

    Like the evening break for beers and BBQ idea! Then crack on again at first light! I'm leaning towards the Full Mil Sim experience. Maybe run 1 a month but make it big! Especially now I know theirs scope to run it on MOD Training Areas! We're planning on visiting a few different sites over the...

    This is all great info. Thanks a lot Nick M! You're right Baz, their is a large Afghan Style Village on STANTA. We used to work it when they were training the new JTACS ready for Afghanistan. Interesting about the MoD being wilco with their TA's! This is something we'll defo look at. We would...

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    Yeah agreed! We're very aware of easy it would be to get carried away with it, in the quest for perfection! We're all sitting down over the next fortnight to discuss finances etc. if we could find somewhere good to rent then I think we could do it without need a business loan! I've noticed...

    That's been one of our concerns! We know it's a bit out of the way so would people travel to it? That's why we've been thinking of ways to make it as realistic as possible. Would their be an appetite for weekend scenarios do you think? We're considering an Option where teams arrive Friday night...

    We've only just started messing around on camp and on the airfield at work. Not even scratched the surface yet Chalieairsoft, but we are really serious about it and will do whatever we can to make it succeed. We're all serving mil with around 60 yrs experience between us. We want to make...

    Hahahaha! We've not longed moved from around that area! When I say West Mids, it's the far West! Shropshire area we're looking at towards the Welsh Border. There's some nice areas we've been to see with differing terrain and loads of potential

    After some advice about starting a new site! :D

    This is defo something were planning on doing. At the moment our focus has been mainly on finding a plot we could use. We are looking to hopefully have something up and running within the next 5/6 months. As we've never been to one of the big sites or competed in a big match we're unsure of the...
