Moderators Tackle Posted November 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hey guys, after some advice, gagging for a game & just had some steroid jabs in the knee so keen to see if it has helped (or at least that's the excuse I'm trying on the wife in order to play out 😜), got a Saturday game at invicta battlefield, starting at 10am til 8pm which might be interesting ?, or theres a regular Sunday skirmish at zeds battle lakes, can't get away with both & haven't been to either site yet so I'm asking those who have, which would you pick ???? Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Battle Lakes is a very nice varied woodland site to play. I haven't been to the other so I can't comment (but I'm about to look it up! Cheers). Saying that playing till 8pm could be cool as you'll get a day and night game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I haven't played Invicta. Are you able to setup for a night game? Battle lakes is a good site. Quite varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albiscuit Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Yeah do Invicta... as much as I like Battle Lakes, I have never been to the other and the idea of playing past sunset sounds interesting.. Just strap on a torch to your gun, whack a helmet on (if you have one) so you dont conk your nugget on a low branch and put a spare torch in a pistol mag or pocket (just in case) And I will certainly look to attend an Invicta game soon (cant do this wknd though ) as it sounds different!

I am thinking from a tracer perspective. I enjoy dark arenas a lot more with tracer rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardsman394 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Invicta is a great site with great people. Couldn't recommend it enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy dark arenas a lot more with tracer rounds. I've owned most kit over the years, but never been tempted towards tracers, I'm loving my m14 socom at the mo (I use it like a dmr so might be cool for night games, single shot ftw) but don't think the flash hider comes off so fitting one might be an issue, unless I can get a tracer hop unit for it ? 25 minutes ago, Guardsman394 said: Invicta is a great site with great people.

Moderators Tackle Posted November 10, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2018 Well after all that, nature made the choice for me, been horrendous storm during the night, almost biblical, & while the wind has calmed down its still pissing down in my neck of the woods, don't get me wrong I'm not made of sugar, but the risk of slipping in the dark & screwing up my knee again isn't worth taking (the physical pain I can handle, but the incessant bollocking the wife will give me is way worse in the long run😉), kits all packed so maybe battle lakes might get a visit tomorrow instead ?.

Immortal Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Ah well, next time. The weather was awful this weekend so I don't blame you! I've had the odd day like that and when a roast is on the menu it's never a bad trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at ACE Combat in Kent on Sunday for a review. One of the oldest sites in existence. By all means tag along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
