HRTA Airsoft (Archive)

NakedDex

I'm doing one up now, without the cabin and structure locations. That way you'll have to think about where your strikes are going to actually land.

Besides, the terrain at HRTA changes so often, doing one with the terrain in place would mean it would nearly always be missing something.

lumengrid

Totally agree with DEX. Grid reference should be more than enough. And way easier for marshaling too.

NakedDex

I'll make them reasonably tight grids so calling in an accurate one on a place you know won't be too hard. Too tight though and you end up with a fairly ineffectual blast area so I'll play around with it.

was some good games tonight, thanks to paul as usual and Dave for giving his ever lending hand in running the games efficently its always plenty of fun

As said above id have to reiterate also the fun the milsim game was, ive never experienced so much team work...and ive never made up so many hand signals in my life lol

must learn real ones haha

ConorMR2 tried to flank but got bang killed by me.

Haha I probably got banged killed by everyone! It was rather tough being on a team with an abundance of snipers! I had to do all the running!!

I wanted to head this sat, but the weather is looking very bad, but i'll have my gear ready just in case it isnt

Is anyone going tomorrow to HRTA?

conor-mr2

Im contemplating it alright. Depends on the weather!!

Got myself a G&G cqb from Shiva there the other day and am interested in testing it. Also fixed my good old Dboy m4 so want to test that aswell!

There are 2 more coming with me.

Maybe we can go for limited ammo option again?

conor-mr2

I guess it depends on the numbers as if theres anything like last Saturdays then ppl may not want to have such a restriction

Hehe there is the bb drought we need to think about tho!

Sam Fisher

Sorry guys, me and John (SAS gas mask) won't be able to make it this weekend.

Masada

Weather certainly aint looking so good where I am. Think I'll pack the waterprrof dpm. And I was hoping for heat so the mac would cycle well.

Weather should improve about 11:00 and hold till afternoon.
I'm not that far to travel so i'll wait till 10:00 and then go.

How many people up for sunday???

RC car fanatic

Im glad I didn't go today.I would have been swimming in water and covered from head to toe in water.

TheDoc

yeah, it was nasty in parts, but then cleared up, but for the last hour or so we played hunt the nsiper in torrential rain

it added some intensity to the game but it was a tad ridiculous

still was a good day i thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the ammo limit games

RC car fanatic

Ye it just gets worse but I'd say today was a good laugh.

Masada

You pack of pussys!!

That was a deadly game! one of the best i would say,
theres nothing like being up to you arse in the river in torrential rain, thats proper realism.,

That last game was brilliant too, i was about 40ft in the tree and absolutely soaking wet with no overhead cover, got loads of kills today too.,

oh, and a nice souvenier on my forehead from someone else's kill count., lol

conor-mr2

Great day lads! Myself and Dave left just in time. That rain was something else. Driving down the m50 wasnt fun at all!!

Gonna bring some scuba gear for that river next time!

ED E

Got back around 8:40! Left, musta been coming up to six at a guess. Bloody M50 jammed for miles. The good news is that my dinners almost done:p

Fun day despite the rain.

I didn't go today even though I had promised myself I'd make it this week.

Two reasons.

1. Some muppet cycling on the path decided to cycle into me from behind (I was walking) and he's gone and done some damage to my back. Spent two days in hospital and my back is still f&*&^%. Thank god for Nurofen Plus.

2. This is the N3 today just beside where I live.

Holy sh1t!:eek:

I just heard the news about the roads and it's not looking good for tomorrow. I was planning on heading to HRTA tomorrow but with the roads the way they are, and combined with the bogball on tomorrow between Cork and Kildare - the roads will be mental!

Wait n see I suppose...

think I will put the canoe on the roof eitherway...

Masada

Took ~ 2 hrs to get from HRTA to churchtown. M50 was a mess as it is, especially with all the matches on. Then you add the water. Pain in the ass. And the back roads of Ballyboughal were like the above picture! We were sending wwater 20ft in the air!

I know how we can solve the airsoft problem,seing as the roas are flooded we can play water airsoft in inflatable dingies..Its a bit like water polo but no polo:D

Masada

its actually lovely out now,.lol gonna head to hrta in a min,.
