Good luck with it, hopefully will be up after Leaving Cert

Good luck with the exams, and every one else, that has exams, best of luck.

Yeah, totally on both counts, bring lots of hydration and good luck with the exams (and remeber kids, real life before gaming!).

I absolutely love the new site.

Fantastic days gaming I really enjoyed myself and the site is so impressive I really was taken a back by how well it plays, smashing stuff

gerrowadat

Have to agree, the new site adds a lot, love the mounds and pace of the games from it.

tonyj_mc

gotta say s well great lay out, room to flank on either side and the rolling asualt game was fantastic, thanks for the great day and we'll be back soon

physter

New site is pretty good, great games there today especially the village assault at the end

Masada

Unfortunately didn't have the free time this weekend to visit, sounds deadly though, any photos yet?

Stonewolf

Great day out yesteray, I'm absolutely destroyed

T4RGET

weird question but any pics of the site or any youtube vids no? want to see it:)

There's some a few pages back.

Essentially there's a loose stone carpark ringed with cabins which forms the safe zone.

Running down the South boundary of the site from safe zone to end is a dirt track used by construction vehicles, the Northern boundary is a river which is a bit deeper than the one on the old site and in a small ravine. The West boundary is the safe zone itself and the East boundary is a large ditch/hedge/fence.

Leaving the safe zone there's a firing alley for chronoing and setup followed by an open area with some stacks of as yet unpositioned debris from the old site.

Just past that is the old two-part portakabin/caravan with kitchen and bedrooms currently positioned so that the bathroom on the kitchen end is closed off by the side of the bedroom end (there's enough of a gap to run through but it's good cover) and the bathroom part of the bedroom end faces East away from the safe zone. Flanking this on the North is open space and the South some small embankments.

From here the ground runs gently downhill over a short space of open ground to some large (tall enough to conceal a standing person) embankments and some big planks and bits of plywood barriers from the old site. Behind these are the bus which is currently at a slight lean and has some old panels and things in the ground floor (top floor still accessible).

There's open space after the bus (this could be improved a little with one or two strategicly placed cover pieces) to another embankment running North-South (about waist height) followed by a field of small mounds (same height) which provide some very good cover to move between. After this there's a short (maybe cabin length) open ground section followed by the cabins an containers.

The containers are mostly laid out in 4 North-South rows with an open space in the North East and Wastern outlier in the South. I'm not sure if this is the intended layout (I got the impression it wasn't) but it provides a variety of long and short range engagements and running along from cover to cover.

As I mentioned earlier there's a ravine along the river, there's definite scope for movement in cover along this ravine as a flanking action but it's broken by thick growth in some places and is currently not exactly the quietest approach.

On the whole, even though it's a temporary arrangement it works really well and the games we had there on Sunday were tight, active and fun (rolling assault is particularly good in the current setup provided both teams are using the same type of magazine). I quite like the way the cabins are laid out in sort of streets and I think it'd be great if Paul kept that but moved them so that they represented meeting streets (in some form of open space) rather than parallel. Perhaps with some kind of medina or fence arrangement in between.

Thanks for that:) very discriptive, you must be good at english:P
that street layout sounds interesting, I liked that idea and was wondering what HRTA (old) would like with streets so this should be good
Thanks:D
