Poach Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Hey all! We are a Scotland-based airsoft team (with a page on this site!) and I'd like to introduce our YouTube channel. Our newest video is from a recent Halloween charity event where the team came dressed as holy men (a Cardinal and his Monks), taking our role seriously in an effort to inspire our team to victory. We wrote a small piece about it on our website, too. We're not professional video-makers or anything, the channel has a small following, but we enjoy playing the game and hope to share some of the fun via Youtube. The channel's got plenty of gameplay footage from a bunch of Scottish sites, such as Section 8, the Depot, Area 66, Enemy Down, the Fort, and Fife Wargames, for anyone looking to check out any sites in advance of their visits, as well as a few trips into England to places like Dirty Dog and Level 2! We've also been lucky enough to feature in a few of the famous Scoutthedoggie's videos, like The Stargate, Krytak Trident LMG in action, and Royal Huntsman! Hope you enjoy!

Poach Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Juggernaut game at the excellent Enemy Down near Edinburgh. Teams were tasked with attacking alongside, or defending their bases against, the Juggernaut onslaught. It's a terrifying sight being on the receiving end of the inevitable advance of a Juggernaut!

Poach Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) The Team are looking to grow in 2024! If you're based in central Scotland and are looking for a team that plays with tactics and coordination, consider applying. We play at sites across the Central Belt, mainly Section 8 and the Depot, but we also visit Enemy Down, Area 66, and the Fort quite regularly as well, plus making at least one trip south a year to play at an English site: 2023's trip was to Dirty Dog for the weekend to play their milsim, Operation Overkill.

Poach Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 The Team took to the interior of a former factory building in our visit to The Depot in Port Glasgow, Scotland's biggest indoor CQB site. Fighting indoors is a lot more positional than fighting in outdoor sites, where there's often ample room to manoeuvre. Indoors, frontal assaults on chokepoints are, in many cases, your only option. This makes for much tougher fights on the offence but an easier time defending. Have a watch as we try our luck forcing some chokepoints and clearing some rooms.

Poach Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 The team were in action at Enemy Down, near Edinburgh, playing as the "VIP Team" for a special game mode. Dug into defensive positions in the centre of the map, the two far larger enemy teams were competing to capture us, with whoever captured the most of us winning the game. Being the game's main objective, in centre of the map, and being only 8 players against two teams of 30+ each, made for an extremely intense defensive effort!

Poach Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) Part 2 of our Enemy Down VIP game, where we take a few losses and things get increasingly dicey as both teams push hard to overrun the village. Additionally, though not one of our own videos, we've appeared in another of the famous Scoutthedoggie's videos!

Poach Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 (edited) The team were on the offensive at our home site, Section 8 in Scotland. For this game mode you had to capture a VIP, defended by the site's Marshal Team, move him to a neutral base and defend him there for a set time, and then successfully withdraw him to your team's spawn. The Marshal Team held the high ground at game start, but as we attempted to flank around their position (resulting in a running firefight with the Marshals as they attempted to slow our advance) we encountered the enemy team trying the same tactic. After pushing them back and seizing the base they were using as their staging point, we completed an encirclement of the Marshal Team and seized our VIP! The enemy team moved fast and seized the neutral base while we were escorting the VIP there, hoping to overrun us as we moved the VIP in and take him for themselves. This failed as we successfully pushed them out of the neutral base and held it long enough for the VIP to time himself out, allowing us to withdraw to our home base and declare victory. We've also written a deep dive on the tactical decisions we made throughout the game in the video, discussing the why and how of our chosen movements and tactics.

Poach Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 The team took to the offensive in a "plant the bombs" game, pushing through multiple enemy bases by establishing good firing positions with our longer-ranged players, allowing assault teams to position themselves to move in for the kill. The team's training is paying off, as we're becoming more coordinated and cohesive, playing more like a squad and less like a mob of individuals!

Poach Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 (edited) Though this is not our video, but rather one of the famous Scoutthedoggie's, we also feature heavily in this one! The video's title image is one of our own team members and the video itself shows Yellow's turn on the defensive, holding one of the three bases we had to hold against Blue as they took their turn on the offensive. We successfully held them up at the base shown in this video for long enough that their attack on our third and final base failed to overrun it in the time available to them, giving Yellow the overall win for that game mode!

Poach Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 (edited) A couple of our players went up to the Fort in Fife, Scotland, an awesome complex of trenches and bunkers to fight over! The place is great for a mix of outdoor and CQB-style fighting. The pyro throwing, though, was maybe slightly less great.

Poach Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Our Team's gunner has upgraded his Mk.48 GPMG and showcased it for the first time this weekend! He went through well over 10,000 BBs and several batteries, laying down impressive volumes of fire and stopping dead every enemy push that crossed his ironsights. For anyone interested in reading more about it, we wrote an article about it as well. Shamal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poach Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Follow-on from the video above, in this one we take a dive into our new Mk.48 GPMG, discussing the upgrades that went into it, the capabilities it now has, and how it impacts the battlefield!
