He was right about the accent though

TheDoc

And calling someone a mot isnt some of precious affection.

Its identifying the two legged thing that you go to get your rocks off now and again and know it will make its own way home afterwards.

Maybe so, I've lived and worked in a lot of different places, and had to make myself understood to many people for whom neither English nor Dublinese was their first language. But I've been using that word as a term of affection for more years than I care to remember.

I also use honey and sweetie from time to time, depending on circumstances

Can we get back on topic please?

The two most likely opening scenarios for PR3 are a) reversal of PR2 with the Greens occupying the village and the Dessies approaching from the woods, and b) both sides starting from opposite ends of the village and advancing towards the centre.

In either of those scenarios, camouflage will be of very little benefit, if any. As usual, it'll be decided by tactics and teamwork.

Definately much warmer.

Both army units have sent out forward attachments to start scouting during the evening before the rest of their units arrive. In the dark of night both forces slip past each other and consequenlty both forces have a number of sniper positions deployed around the village.

This will make the occupation of the town slow and treacherous for both units.

hehehe....it was never going to be easy!

Ha! Flushed you out Ian, you lurker.

I've been telling them all along that's how snipers are supposed to work

TheDoc

There seems to be some confusion among some people about the event now.

I'm being told its not really attackers and defenders, its both teams fighting for the towns control.

Therefore really, making camo type irrelevant. Is this true?

If so, it may be the case we can fit out a full boards platoon in woodland colours.

I kinda want to know before i book my side.

wormbyte

Any information about the scenario in the past has been pure assumption. It has never been said that it is a attack/defence game.

Camo types are as relevant as ever because they enable you to establish who is friend and who is foe.

Azerbaijan: Desert DPM, Multicam or ACU
Armenia: Green DPM, such as British DPM or US Woodlands, Flectarn or O/D clothing

Puding

thank you for taking the time to post wormbyte, with camo i take it Russian camo will be fine for Armenia e.g flora or partizan ?

wormbyte

No problem mate.

As for the camo, flora is ok but partizan is stepping a little bit too far away from the desired look.

Puding

thought as much , i had an idea partizan might be a bit to light for the look, flora it is then

TheDoc

Be aware that booking is due to go live today at some stage.

So please keep an eye on the TA website.

It has been confirmed to me that The Ghosts and Hawks will be attending the event using ACU and multicam respectively. Confirmed numbers are roughly 15. Would be great to get an all irish platoon.

I'm hoping to place a group booking today for the following people.
KDouglas
Vtec
Gerrowat
Fayer
Dr.Pepper
Dar
Tommy

Could all please send me the following information required for the booking.

Name
Email Address
Age
Number of years playing airsoft

If you do go ahead and book by yourself and are one of the above named people, you can email TA events and request to be placed alongside the rest of the team. Similarly if you are planning to go alone or with another and wish to be with irish players, I'm sure there is no problem requesting to be placed with us in the section/platoon.

Yeah should be noted it is a mod base so should it be required for official military usage, they get priority.

this is what i read.Eye protection is mandatory in the form of goggles or approved glasses, full face protection is advised and is required for player under 18 years of age.


so id presume that they allow younger players.
