Milsim Taster

[Okto Eight Milsim]

We are looking at holding a one day Milsim Taster at our Tuddenham site.

This would be for a dozen people where you would form one team. Players will be exposed to four very realistic training scenarios, roughly lasting for 90-120 minutes each which are designed to test your collective ability to gather intel, then plan and execute an operation against organiser-provided Tango's. Advice and assistance will be given by organising staff as required.

It's designed for players who are maybe skirmish players thinking of trying milsim, but who arent ready to do a long weekend game or buy specific kit. There is no specific loadout requirement, two tone airsoft weapons would be allowed and we will have rental kit. There will be a minimum age of 16 years for participants.

We are just planning at this stage, so just putting it out there. Date is to be confirmed. Due to the low numbers and high staff and props to player ratio, cost would be a little higher than a skirmish. Probably about £45 per person for the day. There will be free tea and coffee between scenarios and adequate time for people to eat their own packed lunch.

Your outline plan sounds fine and is of interest. Obviously the selected date is key for availibility, and for me to attend would be a 2.5 hr drive each way. What time would it start and conclude? Would it be a Saturday or Sunday event?

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

We would probably have the Milsim Taster one day and Gunman would run a normal skirmish the other day of the weekend, but we dont know which will be which yet.

The day would start at 0900 and finish around 1600. You can camp out for free the previous night if that is an attractive option to avoid an early start.

 

[Jedi_Master]

Those timings are okay, it is not too early a start in the morning. As much as free camping will be useful for some I do prefer my home comforts over sleeping under canvas.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Fair enough.

We will post up more details when we have a date.

I am very interested in this, though transport might prohibit it. Is this a loss leader? The staff tango's need not be numerous nor ever present, nor subject to the usual re spawn rules. I would imagine.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

No its not a loss leader. Its a fair price for the time, number of players and cost of putting it together.

 

[Comicbook hero]

I quite like the sound of this as well. I may be able to rustle up a couple of others.

Now following you on face book' i 'll keep my eye out.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

The Facebook page is our main medium for getting "out there" and the event will be posted as an event when we have a firm date and are ready to take bookings.

Binoculars and a notebook might prove an asset if you have them.

 

[Jedi_Master]

We will post up more details when we have a date.

I do not do facebook, so this is the only medium to see when the event is being held.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

We will post it in parallel to our sub-forum here, as a matter of course.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

We've got a lot of interest in this and our Tuddenham site which is a great training ground with buildings, roads, woodland, defences and tyre forts is an ideal venue.

We are having a meeting tomorrow and should be able to come back with a date soon.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

This event has now gone live. Scheduled for Bank Holiday Monday (30th May 2016).

A Filmsim One-Off One Day Milsim Taster at our Tuddenham Training site (IP28 6DF).

This would be for a maximum of 16 people where you would form one squad (4 fire teams of four). Players will be exposed to four very realistic training scenarios, roughly lasting for 90-120 minutes each which are designed to test your collective ability to gather intel, then plan and execute an operation against organiser-provided Tango's.

Advice and assistance will be given by organising staff as required.

It's designed for players who are maybe already skirmish players thinking of trying MilSim, but who aren't ready to do a long weekend game or buy specific kit. There is no specific loadout requirement, two tone airsoft weapons are allowed and we will have rental kit available by prior arrangement (rental kit must be pre-booked and will be offered at extra cost i.e. £20 for rifle and ammunition per person).

There will be a minimum age of 16 years for participants.

Due to the low numbers and high staff and props to player ratio, the ticket price is a little higher than a skirmish.
There will be free tea and coffee between scenarios and adequate time for people to eat their own packed lunch.

Tuddenham is a 45-acre site with roads, CQB hard buldings, woodland/heath areas and tyre forts. It is ideal for this taster experience.

This is not going to be a BB blat-fest and participants will be required to carry out surgical tactical operations with appropriate and effective use of force using airsoft imitation firearms and minimum collateral casualties.

Players should bring their own recording material e.g. notebook, pen etc (and binoculars or spotting scopes if they have them).

Cost: £45

A non-refundable deposit of £25 is required to secure your place. Balance of £20 payable in cash on check-in.

Full refund by Paypal in the unlikely event of game cancellation by the organiser.

Booking is now open. Message us at Okto Eight Milsim for Paypal details.

 

[Jedi_Master]

Excellent, I am available on that weekend and can attend. I will PM you to book a place.

I read the Airsoft Action article on Okto 8 (pages 54 & 55), a very favourable review.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Our normal milsim games are very Facebook heavy and we dont operate a website but as this is a taster day and there is no intel to follow pre-game, then if you wish to attend, you just have to send your £25 deposit by Paypal to [email protected]

You will be kept informed by e-mail.

 

[Sacarathe]

I would have been up for this if I could get there.

Given the effort to put this together, will you run some duplicate events (not that this would help me of course )?

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Its just a one off event at the moment.

 

[Okto Eight Milsim]

Three people booked on already.

Good idea for those who want to dip a toe into rhe milsim world. Okto run some great stuff too so this will be a good event for those attending
