SITE REVIEW
Regen, re-spawn and medic rules are
kept simple and play tended to ebb and
flow as first one, then the other team
got the upper hand. As always there
were objectives to achieve and points
were awarded for completing these and
other tasks.
An excellent touch was that lunch – of
freshly-cooked sausage and chips –
was brought in hot from a local pub;
hey, no one expects soldiers to fight
hungry! It was washed down with a
much-appreciated can of Pepsi, and all
included in the walk-on fee.
Over lunch I got to chatting with a team
called The Special Zombie Squad, a
bunch of guys who take their airsoft
seriously but their fun even more so. I
really liked their attitudes and decided to
make them the subject of our first Team
Profile, which you can find on page 71.
My colleague Matt Limb had joined me
for the day and, as he is a professional
photographer, he took (I think you will
agree) a great photo of the team.
The afternoon was all about different
scenarios that made best use of the
tunnels, the closeness, the atmosphere,
the noise and the enthusiasm of all the
players to get up and fight and, at the
end of the day, the smiles said it all.
During the afternoon Felix took the
opportunity to show Matt and I around
unused areas of the site, and also up
top, out into the woodland site that
sits above the tunnels. I am not going
to say too much about this here (as I
want to make it the subject of a future
review) but I think it is probably quite
challenging and players with some
experience (as opposed to none) would
really enjoy it.
As it came to a close, I asked a
number of players what they thought of
day and of The Outpost in general.
All said the same: A great site and a
great day.
Personally, I really like this type of
gameplay and think The Outpost is a
site that you really should check out for
yourselves. Felix doesn’t just run
MilSim games – the site lends itself
brilliantly to all sorts of scenarios,
including post-Apocalyptic and film reenactments.
If you have seen the film The Outpost,
you may have an idea as to why this
site is named what it is. Thankfully, no
Nazi zombies were lurking in the tunnels
while we were there.
Or were they..?
