If you can travel there is Urban Assault near Peterborough thats only an 1hr and half or so away and is an excellent CQB site.

Don't think it is that imminent.

is it not, I thought they were giving it out that its impending this time last year, & again at the beginning of the summer, lol the cynical amongst us might think that's a ploy to boost flagging bookings ?.
not been there for a while (3+ yrs), one of those sites i tell my my lad he should play before its gone, bit of a legendary site.
maybe time for a road trip, Shaun & anybody else interested ?

We were told at least a year off. Though a good combat indicator was the PT76 tanks being moved to their woodland site earlier in the year so maybe get up again before its too late? There is a thread somewhere in the events section that a few regulars on here post in when they are going to get a group together. I go maybe once a month as I am more involved with historical airsoft.
+1 on this. Went Saturday for the first time and had a great time. Last game was basically buildings only cqb, was mega fun!
Break the milsim games.
Pick a load-out designed to infuriate and upset as many of the mil-simmers as possible.
Personal favourite is blue jeans, DMP smok, balaclava. And go as the IRA. If you have any ex service men on the field they won't like it... They like it even less if you play IRA songs through your phone whilst playing. And if you can get a group of you to do it you might even cause a few walk outs.

Might also offend those us that aren't ex services who lost family and friends to them too though...
While I agree on the 2 side part of it, there's always an added risk of "playing a faction" not part of the SIM adding a layer of offence. Just tell anyone who moans that you're a Merc or a PMC unit, and see how many people will still try and tell you you're still doing it wrong!
Each to their own, I'm more offended by bad sportsmanship than anything else tbh.

How can something in history not be part of the simulation.
Milsim splits in a odd way.
NATO - USA, UK, EU camo.
Spec Forces - Black, police
AK army - Everything else, And that's not just Russian, You have Dictators and Terrorists.
If you want to play NATO forces, and go into great kit detail and specify unit, Rank, Insignia ect ect,
Then the other player has the same rights to play the lowest of the low and do it well.
Black yourself up, Pick the terrorists, Play the IRA, Be a Chechen war lord. Lord it up, Play the music, Wave the flags. And when they ask you to stop... You point out that milsim is bollocks.
I never said I don't like games with realistic ammo counts, And well kitted players.
But If I'm going to play on a team that is so geared towards been the stereotypical bad guys, then that is exactly what I'll be playing. And I'll do it well.
It can't be ruining it for everyone else... They went to a mil sim game... Do they not expect a simulated AK army, based on Terrorists and Dictators, I believe the rules probably tell you to be as realistic as possible, Where possible.
If someone playing any terrorist organisation bothers you then perhaps mil sim should be avoided.
And therein resides my whole argument. You can't expect to go to a mil sim game and play a sim level kit load-out on the "good guys" or "Police" teams and not expect the guys playing on the "bad guys" team to do a correct load-out for themselves.
If it upsets you and you expect the "bad guys" team are going to play generic bad guys then you have lost one of the most entertaining aspects of mil sim.
The "bad guys" should be playing load-outs that make your skin crawl. Because you can shoot at those evil buggers. And If you can't work that out and need to walk off it's you that is at fault.

Being Northern Irish I find the IRA particularly loathsome but that being said I can understand Iceni's point of view re MilSim and the conflict is now coming up on being over for over 25 years so I would say its fair game.

There's being immersive and then there's being a bit of a dick... its not what you're saying its how you're saying it. To me this reads like you intentionally go out to shock and piss people off rather than doing it in the name of the game.

Have you done this in practice, or is this keyboard heroism?
It is an interesting point though, and well argued in the subsequent posts.
The last milsim-lites up here were military-vs-cartel, then US government vs oathkeeper patriot/hicks. The camo brigade got to geardo up, the rest of us got to break out our Hawaiian shirts and then Murca flags, everybody had a good time, nobody got offered out. Seems like a decent way to run a "sim".
We had a group of us do it a few years ago. Once the other team got over the shock reveal we had a very good day. There were a couple that wern't so happy with it, no one actually walked off, a couple were close when we started to set up check points, and got the music playing. There were a couple of ex-services that did a NI tour and even they eventually got over it.
I was expecting that reaction... It's why I didn't fully explain the first post. It needs to be attacked before you can show the logic in it. The guy in our group who suggested it in the first place got a similar reaction from all of us until he explained what he was wanting, and once we had the plan it worked very well. It certainly spices up playing the AK army and actually gives you far more to do in game than just look pretty. We took hostages as well, They were given coffee and cake, Asked to pose for a on the knees hands on the head surrender then let go to re-spawn.
