    If you've got mid-caps and want to experience something a bit more challenging than your average skirmish then I don't see why your youth would be a problem, just be warned, milsim is more about patience and tactics than running around guns blazing. You might spend hours not firing a shot, just getting into position, calling in airstrikes or just guarding a position.

    Most of the people involved would be long term players, but come along and try it..............ye might like it.

    But be prepared for a very different type of gaming experience. The point of milsim is to try an get things as close to reality as possible, the main difference with milsim is that combat is an event that occurs during the course of a game, unlike regular airsoft where combat is the only thing people care about. Strategy and teamwork take on a much greater role and by and large milsim must be played much more intelligently.

    Your best bet, would be to come along, to the next one we run, and have a look, if you like what you, just jump in, and play.

    Well done Paul, Hive and Mel for organizing.

    As for my team mates Iraqi 2 defending the Scud at the lane in the 1st game was great craic..... Felt sorry for our medic the poor lad was wrecked near the end all the running around.

    well i guess i could come along to one of them, spectate the first half and play the 2nd, i was just a bit nervous considering nearly everyone there, if not all but me, would be 16-30 or something like that.

    would a sniper be a good choice for milsim (with mp5 back-up), or should i just bring my G36?

    Is it on only sundays?

    Sniping really comes into it's own in milsim.

    Yeah. Who was it from our team that spent 2 hours hidden in a freezing ditch waiting for a shot that never came?

    I admire his dedication to his craft!

    Yes, and it was a top-class performance even though we were getting a bit worried about him at one point. Sometimes waiting is the hardest part.

    Yeah, it was a stoic effort on his part.........given that the weather was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey and shatter them.
