Been fun while it lasted..

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.

I guess that's gonna enhance the immersion..

And honestly how milsims should be played

Did a Blackhawk Down themed game a few years ago, was keen to dust off my US choc chip bdu's, but one of the organisers puts on their website that literally everyone is wants to be delta etc, & there was gonna be a serious shortage of "skinnies"......alway one for a giggle I have a root through the back of the wardrobe & find a Rasta woolly hat, complete with attached dreadlocks, borrowed a mates man united shirt, & cam up using only the brown end of my camo stick....... voilà, instant skinny.

Had an amazing day, really hammed it up, got through tons of bb's without actually looking down the sights lol.

But there was a complaint about me "blacking up", & it came from the whitest middle class plummy twat on site, typical pc snowflake ?.

I've never attended a Milsim event, but would really like to!

Personally I wouldn't give a toss if somebody 'blacked up' or took the role of 'nasty people' quite literally! ?

Surely that's all part of the immersion, and what you want from a Milsim scenario? 

From what upcoming events I've seen, it looks like the role of Delta etc gets snapped up very quickly! But I would love to have a crack at running around in some ill fitting fatigues and sporting the most random retro RIF's I could find!

I had that initial "How very dare you!" reaction, but it's a fair point and well made that if you're going to play toy soldiers as Goodies versus Baddies, then you should be prepared to see some Literal Hitlers out there.

Anyone for Daesh?

Not at all but you need to get the Marshals on side. If it's done right you can use hostages to influence a game.

Ask the Marshals if they can run the game with token hostages. If you can get a surrender call then you gain a token.

It'll stop the assaulters been able to use grenades, and spray tactics. And you might be able to exchange a hostage for ammo ect.

bit if a necropost in relation to SEO airsoft, a while back they announced they were becoming involved with bush valley airsoft, a site near Leeds castle in Kent, & were gonna organise scenario's/gamedays & marshalling, as well as improving the physical features of the site.

anyway, the missus has asked me to run an errand & collect something for her, turns out its up the road from the site, not one to waste an opportunity I thought id dust off the kit & give the "new improved" site a spin, I'll update you guys what its like, dunno if anyone from here's gonna be playing, if so give me a slap & say hi, I'll prob be in vegetata & OD ?

anyway, the missus has asked me to run an errand & collect something for her, turns out its up the road from the site, not one to waste an opportunity I thought id dust off the kit & give the "new improved" site a spin, I'll update you guys what its like, dunno if anyone from here's gonna be playing, if so give me a slap & say hi, I'll prob be in vegetata & OD ?

Bush Valley has a lot of potential as the people who run the skirmishes own the land. Hopefully they have reopened the "Valley" part of it now.

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 ?

on another note, as posted elsewhere, supposed to be this summer close down (urban assault) so only a few more game dates planned.........may get extended again like before!

Apparently it has been sold.  And firesupport are only able to rent it for 2 week blocks.  So they have it until the new owner decides to not renew the lease.  2 week notice effectively on its closure.  Kinda sucks as then you cant plan for a big send off

Shame I didn't read this earlier but there is a cqb in Dover, Kent. Try Triple A Airsoft, they run a Cqb out of a multistorey carpark. 

 

[Nicky blue eyes]

 I've Just seen that the cqb site in Ramsgate is now being run by someone called goat airsoft. Not sure if they are anything to do with seo but it looks like close quarters is back on the menu

Don't think it's SEO, I played the bush valley site, which they now run on behalf of the landowners & when I asked if they had plans for any other locations, they said definitely not.
