Airsoft Action 01 - Oct 2011 | Page 65

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..?
