NAE13 The Ground Zero Weekender

[The Leprechaun!]

Its Joe mate, and aye ill send off a PM in a min, cheers Ian! Also I'm right in thinking you're all going to be the Others too? Hopefully should see you around some of the objectives/respawn points then, if not there's always the bar afterwards (I'm just sayin'... )

 

[Ian_Gere]

Yeah Joe we're going to be Others too. I don't see any reason why we can't operate as a squad including your mates. Including Neil (darnage) & Co. we might have enough for an understrength platoon. That'll give us a range of tactical options that ought to make us more successful, such as a 3 section attack:

• establish rally point for survivors to meet at and regen'd players to return to if it all goes tits up
• advance to stand by positions
• 1 ambush section: advances furthest forward and widest around one enemy flank, trying to remain unseen, to find a position from which they can fire from cover
• 2 enfilade section: advance wide on the opposite flank, in prep for a full flanking maneuver, trying to remain undetected
• 3 security section: the frontal feint attack and long range base of fire
• no firing until all three sections in stand by position, unless we get attacked unexpectedly

• "Go go go!"
• 3 sct open fire
• 2 sct advance to flanking position and close with enemy
• 1 sct remain hidden until either enemy tries to retreat while using cover, but with exposed rear/flank to ambush, or 2 section's flanking maneuver gets bogged down in which case 1 section become a secondary flank attack

• if either flank advance gets spotted and enemy fire prevents that section from achieving stand by position, that section becomes 3, the security & base of fire section; the other flanking section must advance wider and further, becoming the ambush section 1; Original 3 Section become 2, the flank attackers, and must use new 3's fire as cover to close with the enemy.

• radios must be used to coordinate the actions of each section
• If both flanking sections get stopped by enemy fire, this plan must be abandoned in favour of a broad front, with players acting in pairs: 1 fires, the other moves and vice versa.

I feel sad for you Ian, that you went to all that trouble to explain something that will, in all likelihood, fall to pieces and fail to work haha.

I like the idea though, but it might be better tested at a Tier 1 event or a MilSim at the very least.

Oh yeah, trying to get airsofters to adopt a plan and stick to it is worse than herding cats - maybe herding platypuses is more like it! :lol:

Still, just imagine if we did have a bash at this kind of thing against other run of the mill airsofters...? We'd fcuking wipe the floor with 'em!

No need to feel sorry for me for that time probably wasted - feel sorry for me because I didn't get to Skirmish until 10:50am yesterday and by 15:10 I was so fcuked I had to sit the last 2 games out, but even now though I've guzzled as much tramadol as my internal organs can stand without risking putting me back in hospital, I'm in so much pain whenever I move that I pretty much can't do anything but lie in bed keeping still. Time drawing diagrams of something I worked out from incomplete and/or inaccurate, relationship/character driven film dramas helps keep me from wailing in frustration...

 

[The Leprechaun!]

Sounds good, although yeah with the whole cats/platypuses that's easier said then done... :lol:

Last year me and 2 mates managed to flank right round from Firebase Charlie (we were on Delta last year) to Bravos base up in Camp Coursey (for any of you with maps still on you) and attack it from the north. Got wiped out pretty quickly once they realised though.

Tbh im pretty much up for anything, and we plan on bringing enough with me to last a full day out there as well (bbs/gas/water/lunch etc), get my moneys worth

Me too - and yeah I'm bringing flameless ration heaters, mre's, brew kit, etc so i could bring a whole day's worth into the field. I'll have to work out if I can carry the weight along with 9 locap + 1 hicap mags & bottle of Bb's, or whether I need to use a higher ratio of hicaps, or ditch something else.

 

[Arden]

Hi guys, been a while since ive been on here! just an update me and liam will be arriving first thing on the Saturday morning as i have a funeral to attend on the Friday afternoon.

When you lot pitch up your tent could you possibly hold a space for us to fit into!

We will again be bringing a generator for all those battery charging needs

and a microwave because there amazing at cooking everything!

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Haha, I'll definitely be sure to guarantee you a space in that case.

 

[Liam Porter]

Will anyone be bringing a chrono with them?

The one I have is apparently no longer calibrated.

Tested L96 on Friday, FPS = 470-480. Went to game on Sunday, FPS = 415, on the site's chrono (same make/model as mine). Just tested it again on my chrono, FPS = 470-480.

Also, anyone by any chance know if you can fix/re-calibrate an XCortech X3200 chrono?

 

[Ian_Gere]

Not me, Liam. I intended to get one, but it didn't work out and time got eaten up by PayPal hanging on to my refund money, so it became too late

I've just put together an SVD with Madbull 6.01 x 590mm barrel, advanced hop, gucci grease and O-Ring, and the stock spring, so I'm a little concerned that it might be just over 500 - it certainly seems to fire 0.3g BB's fcuking far enough!

Can't help with fixing 'em either I'm afraid, so I hope someone else is bringing a working chrono.

 

[Liam Porter]

DELTA DELTA DELTA!!

So yeah, brilliant weekend! Next year, everyone else is joining me and Arden on Delta, yeah?

 

[M_P]

bravo Delta!

see what I did there^

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

No Liam. No.

Others or nothing. Being a nob with my new AK was far too much fun. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to run around with hi-caps not giving a shit about anything and carrying next to no added weight whatsoever.

Though after seeing Geoff's WE L85, I'm totally getting one at some point.



Edit:

Considering I took this with my iPhone 3GS camera, it looks epic. I'm an artistic photography boss.

 

[Liam Porter]

You can run around being a nob on Delta too. It's not like we were actually an organised team. The team descriptions don't seem to mean anything.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I know, but it's not the same if you're not on the rebel team. There are too many people trying to take it too seriously on the other teams.

 

[bornleverpuller]

Sounds like a great weekend, how many people we on each team?

 

[Arden]

Just under 500 people per team!

 

[jcheeseright]

That AK is f*cking sweet, how much and where from?!

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

That AK is f*cking sweet, how much and where from?!

It was only £145 from Z1, it's full metal and has blowback and everything. Performs amazingly well out of the box as well, it's essentially the AK combat machine in a metal body. Can't believe how good it is for the price.

I was actually only going to buy it for the day, and then sell it afterwards, but I got so attached to it that I've sold my MP5 to a mate instead to cover the cost of it.

Gonna keep it as a work horse for when my kit gets too heavy, just run about being a nob with high caps lol, thinking of modernising it a bit with a RIS front end, an AKM angled muzzle break thingy and if it's possible, a different stock.

Also James, since we're talking, have you ever had any issues with your TM MP7's bolt getting stuck? My mate bought one when I got my AK and the bolt keeps sticking after every 3 mags or so, we've lubed it to absolute buggery as well. Can't understand it.

 

[jcheeseright]

Too much lube! Mine got stuck once and I cleaned the bolt and its fine now. It should run almost dry.

As for the AK, I'm all about that, though I may look for one with wood bits.
