Asomodai Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Red 1 has announced the last game day at Chislehurst is this weekend and they are moving to Fawkham... I hope it's a brand new site, but I am guessing the old Bedlam Paintball site (Which was briefly used by Mayhem SE (The Kent based one) or they might share the Ultimate Wargames site. This is significant as both Bunker and Chislehurst have shut down in a couple of months, which means only three active sites still left within the M25 (And only just!) D&A Dropzone in Swanley, Tactical Warfare in Croydon and Mayhem in Abridge being the last three. Edit: They are site sharing with Ultimate Wargames. I assume they will rotate weekly, UG being on Saturdays and R1 beings on Sundays. It's a shame because Chislehurst used to be a bus ride away from Central London. Fawkham is two trains and a 1 hour walk uphill. Edited January 7 by Asomodai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirsoftTed Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Sad to see another site go. Not sure if it's still there as I'm up in Scotland now - but there is (or was) also Tactical Warfare Airsoft in Croydon/New Addington. That's where I started out 12 years ago!

As I don't get to play as often as I used to this is one thing which really annoys me. I've paid to play not sit on my arse.

Jaylordofwaargh Posted Friday at 19:18 Share Posted Friday at 19:18 (edited) I had mixed feelings for it, had a couple of really good days and a couple of meh days there. But importantly I could take the bus to get there and also take the kid. The Falkham site is not travel friendly so looking around So now having looked around at Dropzone, where do they publish game days? Edited Friday at 20:02 by Jaylordofwaargh .

Tiercel Posted Friday at 19:28 Share Posted Friday at 19:28 TW Croydon... ugh... Gave it 3 chances, each time it got worse if my choices were play there, or quit airsofting, Id probably quit airsofting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A terrible site; it seemed to improve for a while but then dropped off a cliff. The final straw for us was when a marshal refused to wear eyepro in the playing area when people had loaded guns and later, when he had eventually put eyepro on, totally ignored a player standing next to him with no eyepro. A terrible site run by terrible people. Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
