usually they split the group in half to even up teams so if u just say u want to split up then i'm sure it'll be grand!

Yeah, you should be able to split up no problem but there will more than likely be other people playing on the two teams aswell (unless you want to rent the venue;)).

great days gaming on sunday as well, fair play to everyone who braved the weather

ravey

Brave indeed! But ya dont be cowald for very long when youre an airsofter!
Looks like better weather for this coming weekend, and as usual we have added in some more covers and hides to make it even more interesting.
Might try a couple of medic style games this saturday. Or is that just a sop to those lazy buggers who havent the jizz to run back to a distant respawn? Comments please!

How are we ment to find the energy to play Sunday if we are running around all day Saturday??

Also any chance you have .25g bbs? Or is that mountain of boxes all .20g? I know very few site stock anything other than .20g

cheers

ravey

Eh theyre all 20s im afraid. Whaddya think of trying the medic thing? Would it be the run back that makes people keener to not realise theyve been hit? Perhaps if they just stop playing when hit and wait for a medic or a team member to restart them, might be good if we insist that they scream etc;)

Bernie Mac

i like the idea of media but i think respawns avoid alot of confusion...and cheeky feckers sitting over the dead guys waiting for their mates to come save them!:p

ravey

Yea true, and it might make people less likely to charge forward out of cover, if they dont want to expose their teammates coming to revive them.
God there are so many variables! Someone suggested a "DEad Rag" like in the US. What do people feel about that?

captaindanwaldo

I think playing games with medics requires a lot more team work especially in the case where you need to provide cover in order to tag your players back into the game.
Might help highlight that there is a certain amount of teamwork and courtesy involved in the game and not just 20 John Rambo's…:p

Gets my Thumbs Up!!

I like the idea of the dead rag its so simple and effective, but I think the current system works just fine. One thing I would highlight is that people just need to be aware that they should not cross LoF while moving back to respawn its really that simple.

Bernie Mac

and they keep their hand up all the way back to respawn so u dont shoot somebody who is already dead!:p

G3-Nut

pretty simple when theyre hit they go down raise their hand, and start counting to 30....once the count is up, you bleed out and die, sending you back to the respawn, thus avoiding the issue of someone waiting for the medic to come then shooting him...theres quite a few rules on the medic games to make it work smoothly, you cant just send people out who can tap their players back in no problem, things start getting messed up when you dont think the medic rule through...no point in having a guy wait for a medic for 10 minutes, have him count to 30 out loud and if he reaches 30 before being treated hes dead and goes back to respawn

Very true, thanks for pointing that one out

The Hawks are heading out to Rathbeggan this sunday, hope to see yis then.

Mine's a cornetto.

Discharger09

just a general question, what buses can be got from town to rathbeggan?

G3-Nut

Lads another type you can have is officer respawns...basically, both teams have an officer, which can stay slightly behind the line of engagement, thus allowing for respawns up close, but he can fall back if needed....but once he is hit, the officer is gone, thus giving a nice secondary objective of taking out the enemy officer so the enemies will have to respawn back at the normal one

captaindanwaldo

any of the 109 buses thats, cavan, navan and kells (I thinks)...just make sure you ask the bus driver to let you know when your there, you could miss it if its your first time out...best of luck hope to see ya over the weekend

Discharger09

what buses from dublin town go past the place?

the 109 from bus eirean also tops bye that church neare the sex shop and hemp shop

Discharger09

lol off to the 109 i go

just a general question, what is best to go to, HRTA or Rathbeggan, and i'm taking 2 things into account:
1) for a 15 year old
2) Map-wise - what one has the better field

two different sites, both have their own + and -....they are also 2 different style of site so comparing cant really be done...its like asking a motorbike rider which is better, a car or a truck:p

HRTA is more urban style builds layout every where clearing rooms and what not...Rathbeggan is more heavy natural cover high ridges, bunkers and what not so its all up to u which one you want to go for!:p

thats a very good idea :cool:

All set and ready to go! We will be trying out a couple of Medic games tomorrow just to see how they work out. Due to a completely numbnut carpentry error ( Thanks Lucas and Niall!) we have 10 more squat covers, rather than the five i had planned, so they will be added to the mix along with some additional sloping hides on the outer edge of Radar Station.
The other good news is that the buds are coming on the trees, so we will soon be fully hidden!
We have been in touch with a Dutch Airsoft Team, who will be visiting and staying at Rathbeggan on May the 2nd. They are keen to pit themselves against some quality Irish teams, so if youre interested, and you'd like the idea of a Team Camp, just get in touch.
I reckon Apex and RATS will be up for it. Your places are reserved gentlemen.
Games start tomorrow at 10am, so try land from 9.30 onwards. See you in the crosshairs!:D:D:D:D

Daz1214

excellent...im sure oursleves and apex will be well prepared for the challenge

will see you there sunday morning

Toherinator

Team camp sounds like good crack.
