The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

Played at The Big One near Lincoln, run by the Lincolnshire Airsoft Club today. I'm spending more and more of my time in this part of the world and the site is only 20 odd minutes away. They have use of 4 sites, well it will be 4 soon, and The Big One is a fairly dense woodland. The part that we played on today was about 2 acres, which is fine as there were only 20 players. The first play was sort of a standard domination game. There were numerous poles, with a tube that slides on it. It was coloured with red and yellow, our team colours, and you had to have your colour pointing up. Who ever has the most poles displaying their colour wins. I've no idea who won, I was just really enjoying the game, the communication, the hit calling and the terrain. As it is in Lincolnshire, its reasonably flat, ish! I like flat, I'm too old and fat to be running up and down hills.

 

I played at Sixmill near Rugeley a few weeks ago and it was an amazing site but with 140 odd players and a large site on the side of a hill, I was soon knackered amd lost. I did manage to wander, because I was lost, behind the enemy position and got close enough to a sniper to ask him if he wanted to take the hit, or the shot. He took the hit. 😁

 

Anyway, second game was an attack and defend where we, the attacking team, had to get 2 jerry cans into a crater that the red team where defending. 10 second medic and 60 second bleed out where in play. I'd love to say that we got close but we didn't. The defenders were dug in to some proper cracking spots and we just couldn't get close. Again, really good terrain and excellent game play from both teams.

 

I did get shot in the side, a few minutes, after game end at one point as he hadn't heard the end command! I wasn't impressed but found it funny enough! Lol

 

I was using my G&G CM16 Warthog as my DD EMG MK18 is in peices on my dining table. I just can't get the power to a usable lever! I suppose I'm going to have to ask a billion questions to get it sorted. Also couldn't carry my P226 as I forgot gas and wasn't buying more just for today! Ive loads at home.

 

 

I was thinking of trying this site as it's in my end of the country will definitely give it a go.

Unfortunately, that was the last game at that site this year. They only have a limited number of days available. I'll be going to one of the others as soon as time allows.

Played at my usual site yesterday , first time i've played for a couple of months with one thing and another . Group of our usual players were off at Dorchester for the day , but a team had traveled up from Plymouth so there were aprox 35 players including rentals. 

 

Absolute blast of a day , everyone played well and fair . Close games , hard faught by both teams . Lad on the other team managed to creap up on a bunch of us and took 4 or 5 of us out in one banzai run ! 

 

I played all GBB , the L85 , L119 A2 and M249 all got a run . Some great kills with them , the 119 A2 in particular was getting some very sneaky shots in . Ran the 249 with an hpa tank but using the 130 round mags . That continues to be a blast to use .

I got to my local yesterday quite late, and when the Marshal's proclaimed - awesome, a player has turned up, I knew it was going to get cancelled - and it did.

Well my pews are cased up, kit bag filled, chest rig & belt kit magged up (no bb's yet to avoid mid cap syndrome). Liquids in the car already, I might go all sensible & get some bananas for munchies.

 

Taking my TM URG-I, A&K LR300 & Umarex HK416A5

 

First gameday since January, pretty sure I'll have melted by lunchtime.

[Colin Allen]

Hurrah for an A&K LR300!

 

Have a good day!

From one big man to another, drink plenty and don't exert yourself, play at your pace even if that's trundling behind the main group. It's a long day walking around carrying gear, you'll be absolutely shattered and aching everywhere by the end but craving another game day the week after!

 

Avoid the cameraman too, they take very unflattering photos unless it's a upper torso and headshot 😂

 

Have fun and let us know how it goes!

It's the front on shots that are to be avoided, I don't fancy posting my last one 😂

 

We can start meal team six though, won't ever go hungry with you being a butcher....

Indeed!  It is too much of a tease.

Spotting snacks not targets

quick stop for pie, it stings more on the tight bits

I'll need to get across to POW, I've not been past the m8 corridor in too long

Love those kinda games, & they don't just suit your average cqb venue, can work equally well on some woodland sites, makes people work harder for a kill👍

What was the venue ? @Nick G

It's a woodland site I play at . About half the evening was on parts of the main site including cqb around the 'village' and half on their laser tag area which has some serious undergrowth.
