TA Events - 2010 heads up

delta-boy

Is it time for reeducation for our Western puppets through the means of our Kalash's?

Or perhaps an inspirational speech from Comrade Novrek Bovrak about the Chedaki fighting spirit!

(Also, is anyone bringing NVG's?)

Only a few days to go, and shoud start packing soon.
Still no sign of my tack vest that was ordered back in march.

So looking forward to this as i missed my last 2 trips away due to the bloddy ash loud and need to let off some steam. and pre booked a lot of pyros.

Ps, does it mean that my lipo's are fully charged when smoke starts pouring out of them??

Go back where you got them and demand a full refund or replacement - you're entitled to get smoke !

samhail

i got a replacement alright - probably get the smoke experience in the middle of sennybridge this weekend... typical.

At least you'll have a smoke grenade to use.

OzCam

As the Ham Radio people say "It doesn't work right once you let the smoke out".

do you have anything else to use? just be aware that your vest/webbing does not have to match your faction camo, so if you can not pick one up no need to stress to much

Airsofteire have this in stock - it's a multicam lightweight chest rig:
http://www.airsofteire.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=285&category_id=9&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26

They're pretty swift with on line sales there and also have a walk-in store in Dundalk.

It is total win - I use one of these in multicam and an OD one for my woodland team camo loadout. Doesn't have all the pouches etc that a ciras vest might have - but you can attach anything with molle/pals loops to the front or back (including hydration pouch etc) and the integrated ammo pouches will hold 12 standard M4/M16 stanag mags (at least mine did last weekend).
Perfect for the warmer weather too.
Good luck over there dude!

Skatedude

`cheers, i'll see if i can get it before friday.
But just found out my vest from the vestguy arrived in dublin yesterday, so fingers crossed it gets posted out as it will fit the p90 mags

OzCam

I just got my marshaling shift info from Ian. For operational reasons I have been given two 4-hour shifts.

1600-2000 on Saturday and 0800-1200 on Sunday.

I promise that I shall officiate in this airsoft event with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern it in the true spirit of sportsmanship.

samhail

nice and cosy

Slightly older maps There are also newer ones on the TA Events website.

"CIVVIES ON THE FERRY"
Bring photo ID (a Driving Licence will do)
Bring a printout of your booking confirmation or eTicket for the event

gerrowadat

Also don't use radios anywhere near the ferry port. They use PMR in there for comms and get VERY annoyed if they see someone on one.

Is this by experience we know this Gerrow, or just plain common sense?

Yeah, a carload of lads in our convoy got serious hassle from habour police just because he saw a motorola radio sitting in the car.

I'm working late tonight, so I don't have access to TA-Events homepage due to it being blocked.

What do we need in terms of paperwork for the event? I know we need the booking card for the ferry we got in the email, but what else do we need?

Does anyone have the GPS coords for the site aswell? Just in case.

Well, I'll be doubly sure so. I'll bring my passport aswell.

Ian wants to get the show started early*, so...

In order to allow enough time for deployment prior to game on we have decided to drop the 1030hrs safety briefing and replace it with a safety briefing at the start of each faction's command briefing.

Command Briefing timings are:
CDF: 0800hrs
USMC: 0830hrs
Chedaki: 0900hrs

ALL PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND THEIR FACTION'S COMMAND BRIEFING.

Timings:
Friday...
Check-in start time: 1700hrs
Check-in closing time: 0100hrs

Saturday...
Check-in opening time: 0700hrs
CDF Briefing: 0800hrs
USMC Briefing: 0830hrs
Chedaki Briefing: 0900hrs
Check-in closing time: 0930hrs
Radio checkout times: 0930hrs - 1000hrs
Chrono start time: 0800hrs
Chrono stop time: 1000hrs
Safety briefing: 1030hrs in the main square outside building 11. This is now taking place during each faction's command briefing.
Game on: 1100hrs (for CDF & Chedaki only - USMC start at 1200hrs)

Sunday...
End ex: 1200hrs


*either that, or he doesn't want to have to scream the whole thing at Maximum Fcuking Volume.

Anybody know if the IAA are providing a letter saying these guys are ok and are taking part in an event in Wales?

If you have your booking reference number for the TA events website you can log in to their site and print out a letter of invitation from those guys.

Yes they are, ask them directly info@irishairsoft.ie. They have also spoken to the ferry companies.

On another note, the Irish have been given building 11 for sleeping on the Friday night (the largest building), so head there on arrival and "get a room".

OzCam

Just bring photo ID, your ticket for the event, and some evidence that you're a skirmisher (or a Membership Card).

Well seeing as you're on the tan / marine side, a white flag should prove invaluable
